    This is a great spot for either a spot of lunch/tea, or a great dinner. Equally is good is its…read moreDeli. The restaurant has some really great takes on classic British dishes. Lots of fresh fish appetizers and main courses. All of the main courses are large and filling plates. They accommodate large groups and have a perfect large bench table next to the kitchen in an incredibly perfect round room with incredible images of Norfolk. The service was also great. Go for the main courses, but do not forget dessert. I had the brownie with ice cream. It was probably the best brownie I have ever had. Local's say Byfords is known for the brownie. I took their word for it and now I know why. There is also a great selection of beers and liqueur, we rounded our dinner out with some lovely Scotch. They Deli, is also amazing. We purchased a couple of cakes for a party that were absolute hits. Everything looks great.

    Byfords is a delicatessen, restaurant, and a 'posh' bed and breakfast all rolled into one. We…read morestayed for a few nights in the B&B in February, tempted by the opulent rooms showcased on the Byfords website. Byfords is right in the centre of Holt, and as such car parking is at a premium. The car park only has space for eight cars, but has seventeen rooms, leading to a bit of scramble for a space, it can get quite competitive! Failing that there a few public car park spaces to the front of the deli, or a large public car park about 200 yards away. This factor over all others, disappointed us the most; for such an expensive B&B, it seems short sighted to have insufficient parking. The room itself was an interesting mix of old charm and modern decor. A comfortable bed flanked by low beams and a rather impressive television, leading onto a small study area was complemented by a modern wet room with underfloor heating. Let down slightly by a dripping shower. Complementary biscuits, still/sparkling water, and tea and coffee were a nice touch, but strangely never replaced from one day to the next. The staff at Byfords were very friendly and helpful in all parts of the enterprise; as we arrived we were given a complementary coffee and choice of cake in the restaurant, a nice touch. Breakfast was served to the rear of the restaurant, and was impressive fare, particularly the smoked salmon and scrambled egg. The menu for breakfast was fairly comprehensive, and included such diverse dishes as kippers, as well as the legendary Byfords cooked breakfast. The only disappointing thing about the breakfast was the fact the venue was integrated within an open restaurant; call me old fashioned but paying a premium for the B&B room should mean there is a separate enclosed room for guests. We had coffee and ate in the restaurant on several occasions. The coffee is their own blend and is an eloquent combination of strength and flavour; their cakes, pastries and hot snacks are also equally impressive: the moroccan lamb pasty being a particular triumph. The evening meals though were less consistent, the first night's calzone lacked flavour and was fairly disappointing, but the atmosphere of the Byfords restaurant has a rustic charm, which makes it a perfect romantic evening venue. However, the second's nights bubble and squeak with smoked haddock was almost perfect, what a difference! The last part of the triumvirate is the delicatessen, a bustling place selling all the pastries, pasties and sandwiches sold in the main restaurant, as well as takeaway coffees, olives, cold meats etc. This is the real hub of Byfords, selling thousands of scones per week. In summary, an experience that had plenty of pluses, but a few negatives, that reduced its overall star rating.

    Bakers & Larners is a huge (for a town, anyway) upmarket department store with a great range of…read moregoods. It is located in the town centre of Holt in an impressive building dating back to the 1630's. I love the food hall because it has so much to offer - it has your typical range of staple foods from great brands but also offers fancier and more specialist foods. There is a dedicated section for health foods; vitamins, specialist diet foods (vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, etc.), a wonderful deli counter with a wide selection of fresh foods, a good range of teas, wines, coffees, organic food, baking produce. The list is huge! They're also very competitively priced. Other sections of the store include; homewares (a very large selection of kitchen goods, electrical appliances, lighting & decorative items), household goods (which stocks bulk products such as Ecover!), perfumes, make up & beauty, womenswear, underwear, menswear, a book store and a cafe. I believe they also stock building supplies (as Bakers is a builders merchants) but I have never had to use that so I cannot really comment! It is well laid out with two main front entrances - one dedicated to the groceries and the other in the homeware. I believe there is also a back entrance for the building department with access to a car park but we are usually on foot! Each department has it's own section with it's own counter & staff so most of the time you don't have to queue, and when you do it is not for long (unless it is the height of tourist season, when naturally most shops become a bit overwhelmed!) It is much nicer than visiting department stores in the city, and Holt is such a beautiful town!

    It's ponsy and snobby, but you just have to love it. A real quality act, the range cookers are to…read moredie for. Great furniture department (further down the road) real old fashioned service. Foodhall as other reviewers have said is a mini Harrods ...go
