"Absolutely delicious meal. The baked coconut and chilli Cromer crab starter was soooo good! Definitely recommend that one! Main meals were excellent and the vegetable sides accompanying were really really lovely too! We ate here for our tenth-anniversary meal with our two small children while camping locally for the weekend. There is no children's menu, but they can do fish goujons with chips, or various other options adapted from the adults' menu. The quality of the kids meals was great, although my two are going through a fussy stage so didn't eat much unfortunately. There was no good reason for this though, because my husband and I tried their meals and it was very good. We'd definitely return next time we're in the area!"

"My grandmother and I had a lovely experience at this restaurant, enjoying the coffee and the relaxing view. However, we found the waiter to be abrupt and unwelcoming upon our arrival. Despite the busy restaurant environment, we understand the stress of the workplace. Unfortunately, after we paid, the same waiter (with a European accent and a beard) was extremely rude to my grandmother, causing her to tear up as we left. When she expressed surprise about the full menu offerings, such as a Sunday roast, the waiter replied sarcastically and rolled his eyes. My grandmother tried to explain her misunderstanding and express her desire to return and try the meals on the menu, but the waiter walked off and ignored her. My grandmother, who is 80 years old, was simply trying to make friendly conversation as we left. It's a shame, as everything else about the restaurant was lovely, but I will not be returning as long as this waiter is still working there. It appears from other reviews that this waiter has a habit of behaving poorly towards elderly women."

"We first visited this place for Sunday lunch I had booked it as a surprise for my husband ,when I told him the area he wasn’t impressed until we entered the restaurant,then his impressions changedAs you walk in you are shown to a lovely setted area with settees and log fire to sit and order your drink ,then your glasses are taken for you to your table,you are treated properly sir and madam which really makes a change nowadays We as a middle aged couple hate being called guys Which seems to be the norm Back to the mermaids slipper we had appetisers,then lovely home made bread which was delicious,then main course, oh and had to have pudding to get the whole experience the whole time the staff where efficient and polite. So last night valentines my husband had booked to eat here again as we where so impressed , he was very lucky to get in as he got a cancellation the menu was a set menu , which I will add a picture as to much to mention ,the food here is very different,the fish and chips , you automatically think is deep fried ,not this ,it was a lovey cod loin in a sauce with new potato crisps all very nice the menu was done as a scroll with heart ribbon and a fresh red rose to take home the place was packed which says it all . They also donate some proceeds to a charity So if you want a special meal try here I don’t think you will be disappointed,I’m a fussy eater and love the whole experience and your treated as people not a table number Keep up the good work we will be back"

"After a visit to the beautiful woodlands and gardens with my daughter, we stayed for lunch at the cafe. We didn't notice the sign to wait to be seated, and had to ask for a menu, but after that the service was friendly and attentive. I enjoyed a really tasty quiche, and my little girl had a picnic box that included a generous chunk of proper sausage roll and a piece of brownie as well as a sandwich with thick farmhouse ham and a satsuma. We asked for the stated mixed nuts to be replaced with salad and got cucumber not averse to nuts, but some veg by default would make the selection more balanced. We rounded out lunch with a cream scone which the staff were happy to bring over to the simple play area across the drive. Not a cheap lunch but not wildly expensive either, and the food was very good quality. A nice treat as part of a lovely day out."

"We have been today as a party of 7 for afternoon tea. The food and presentation was delightful. Very well priced and good value and the setting is nice and airy and clean. My only criticisms are the young staff, they could benefit with a bit of customer service training. Although the afternoon tea comes with unlimited tea/coffee, not once did anyone ask us if we needed anything, we had to repeatedly ask for a coffee refill and often met with blank stares. (Rabbits in headlights come to mind). The other issue was the vegetarian afternoon tea contained a tuna fish sandwich. When we did manage to attract a waitresses attention and she went to check with the Chef. she then came back to tell us the chef thought Tuna fish was vegetarian (again maybe some training on vegetarianism for the chef may be needed). They did however replace the whole plate with the correct veggie options and very kindly removed it from the bill. On a whole a lovely afternoon just a bit more staff training to earn those 5 stars."
