"We booked a table for a meal and we were disappointed. First of all the car park has a few spare spaces, but they are for people staying, so there’s no parking nearby, you have to spend half an hour looking around Blakeney for a space, which is hard work, or spend £6 on parking in the nearby car park. Secondly, The choice of food is very limited with not many of the pub Staples you normally expect to get. Only two mains for meat lovers, one for fish lovers and a vegan option. The small plate meals are also scarce and don’t come with rice or chips. You have to have a side of chips if that’s what you want. Our hand cut chips were over cooked in old oil and were soggy and over salted. The burger was undercooked and tiny. Poor value for £18. Only top of the expensive prices, they bill you for the optional service charge by default, so unless you want to create a scene, you end up paying it if you’re remotely shy or low in confidence. Inside it’s clean and spacious, quite a few dogs, and you don’t get a choice of where to sit. It’s just not a special place to visit, and for the prices, it should be. Oh the Adnams on draft is exceptional, but that’s it. Avoid. Service: 4"

"beautiful atmosphere and good food. the two of us raised themselves without a booking on a Sunday night and gave one table. each of us had a starter (tuck bein croquettes and rakete salat, which is actually a side, not a starter) and a main (burger and a bark on Sunday roast) and made very full, not in the position to finish eating. the personal was friendly and attentive. the food needed a reasonable time to not arrive too long, not surprisingly fast. 4/5 and not 5/5, because while eating was good, there is room for improvement my yorkshire pudding was too dry and carrots could be cooked better (taste could be better; there were raw in the carrots;) the meat was delicious. However, after saying that for a pub, food quality was quite large, especially in value-money conditions, we only paid over £50 overall for the meal (including 2 half pints of apple wine, but without tip.) was another point that the menu could be a bit more diverse. the pub is dog-friendly (also has a water bowl at the bar) and has an amazing real kamin that does much for the feeling from inside. overall, this pub would recommend easy to friends with the above caves."

"Upon arrival we were greeted well and shown to our table. The establishment is very welcoming and the tables well presented and chairs are comfortable and in keeping with the vibrant and classy atmosphere of the venue. Service was good for drinks, and the menu was explained to us well and there was plenty to choose from both regular and special options very good selection from the children’s menu too. We opted for the soup starter which was beetroot soup, we’ve never actually seen that offered anywhere previously, so was worth a punt! My wife found the soup too rich but I really enjoyed it and I’d go as far to say it’s ONE OF THE BEST soups I’ve ever tasted. The staff enquired if all was ok and as my wife wasn’t so keen on the soup, they offered her a complimentary ham hock starter, which was also exceptional this was a nice touch, they didn’t need to do this, as the soup was fine just not to my wife’s taste, so bonus points there for empathy and customer service. For the mains, we both ordered the roasts (beef and pork respectively) and my daughter had sausages, chips and veg. My daughter really enjoyed the sausages, chips and isn’t generally keen on the veg but really liked the leeks and greens they must have been tasty, as she’s a very fussy eater as a four year old. The roasts were amazing and again ONE OF THE BEST we’ve had in a long time!! I’d sampled the beef as well as the pork and I cannot fault anything about these roasts, presented well, good portion sizes and tasty as anything. Gravy made to suite the meat being offered too and not some generic offering. We really enjoyed our ‘experience’ here and we really do recommend you visit and try for yourselves, this is a gem and the prices are very reasonable for what’s being offered here and the service is amazing. Now on to the bad points there were none, so nice and easy!!! Great work guys, keep up the great work, Gordon Ramsey would be proud of this place I suspect, if he were to complete one of his famous visits!!! Take care and see you again!!"

"We arrived in Blakeney and spotted the Kings Arms. We fancied a pint. We saw the landlord outside who was holding a ladder. He made no effort to speak. My partner asked if the pub was open. The landlord said it was closed for a week and it stated this on all the doors and windows, in a very brusque manner. It clearly pained him to speak to us. Therefore I apologised to him, for having to speak to us. We went on our way. Around the corner we spotted the Blakeney Hotel. We sat outside on the terrace with our dogs and enjoyed a pint and delicious sandwiches with lovely service. It was a relief the Kings Arms was closed. I would like to thank the landlord for being so utterly charmless, so we won’t bother him again on our next visit to Blakeney."
