Although food was good the service was slow and too many members of staff coming to the table while we were eating. One would have been enough.

The venue was very quiet which wasn’t too reassuring for a Friday night. Several items were unavailable on the menu, one of which was discovered after we had ordered it!!! The food was mediocre. Lovely service but the restaurant appears to be struggling. Limited dessert menu.

Lovely meal with friends. We all had the steak that was on offer. Two for £25 with a small glass of wine. Good value for money. Food was good.

A little local gem for Thetford. Food is excellent, locally sourced and reasonably priced, the welcome is warm and the atmosphere is really relaxed. And all five minutes walk away. We will be back regularly.

We were the only people dining. Staff OK but taking orders using a tablet certainly does not encourage engagement with customers. Food average - carrots are a bit odd to go with sea bass. Chips excellent!

We had a very pleasant Sunday lunch. The staff were amazingly attentive and very helpful as we had brought our 10 month old baby who became a little vocal. The food was great value for money, considering we had 3 courses and alcohol. We will definitely be back :) thank you
