    Where do I start? The pub is on the main through road of Gosfield so can't be missed easily. Plenty…read moreof parking space, if one of you is driving. Unlike many pubs today, which thrive to survive using the the restaurant side, this pub has two bars as well as the restaurant. So, if you want just a pint then there is plenty of seating room. Wood beamed ceiling and inglenook fireplace, nice for those colder nights in winter. We were there to celebrate a 30th birthday and on arriving, early, we were welcomed by the bar staff with warm cheery smiles (a pleasant surprise these days). A table for the eight of us was already laid and we decorated it a little. Then down to a few drinks while awaiting the other guests. Nice selection of real ales and, I noticed, a fantastic selection of worldwide whiskies (although my favourite, Laphroaig, was absent). Once seated we perused the fantastic menu. I guarantee that there would be something on it that anyone would choose, even veggies. My problem was that there was so much choice and I wanted to try everything. I started with Cromer crab and avocado with lime dressing. Aberdeen Angus rump steak with a homemade peppercorn dressing (none of the usual bottled sauce), Portabello mushroom and really CHUNKY chips Wow delicious, both courses. Finally, cheese and biscuits. Three unusual local cheeses, with loads of crackers, celery, apple wedges, butter and a pot of home made chutney. A meal in itself. Going on the sounds from our friends and the empty plates around the table I can only assume that the other meals were as delicious as mine. Nice touch for a pub. Cream teas in the afternoon, unusual. Anyway, thanks to all you guys and gals behind the bar and in the kitchen for a wonderful evening. You all have done the English pub/restaurant trade PROUD. We will see you again.

This, I mean, for the safety of customers but, more importantly, for staff. Without the staff, establishments like this cannot open and give decent service. The food and service in this 'pub' had never changed. Always friendly and priced in the region giving everyone a chance of eating out once in a while. Loved the starter of scotch eggs. Was worried that a Scotch egg was a little heavy for a starter but these were a little smaller. That didn't take away how delicious they were. The mains of mussels with fries was a great offer. My parents were Belgian so I was brought up on 'mosselen met frites'. These met my taste buds very well. Still a great pub, great service, lovely atmosphere. Guys #staysafe

I had the Ploughman, which I thought was tasty and lots of fun (as an American I hadn't had anything like it before). My sister had the chicken pie and it was yummy. My mom enjoyed the lamb, but my dad wasn't much impressed with the fish and chips. We got ice cream for dessert and it was very good. Highly recommend the lemon curd sorbet. The service was a bit slow, but the waitress were nice. One was still going through training.

On arrival we are booked in due to covid restrictions but I was surprised, at 1.00 pm on a Saturday, at how empty the large garden was and did I really need to book a table. However, it was noticed that, obviously money had been spent erecting covered areas with heating and, certainly, enough seating in the garden for a huge number of customers to be safely and comfortably seated. Service was friendly and quite speedy. A nice pint, or two, at £6 for two pints of Stella with prosecco for ma'am. There is a limited menu due to covid but there is something on that list for everyone. I did notice that a couple asked, and received, a kids menu. We decided on sharing three starters with fries followed by dessert. The starters were exceptionally tasty. Well prepared and nicely presented. In the fact this experience deserved a four star rating but now to some of the negatives. None of the servers wore masks. I do realise that it is outside but there is some close proximity. Initially service was brilliant but as time went on and more tables filled, with walk-ins and bookings, service seemed to go awry. Food was coming out with no direction to which table. Table numbers seemed to have no effect. That food then went back to the kitchen, likewise cocktails etc etc. Waste of food and income for the pub. Asking for the bill was another problem. After twenty minutes I was getting a little frustrated and asked again. "I'm not your waitress" was the reply I got. Anyway somebody came over, eventually, with the card reader and said "two desserts, was it?". I explained it was for everything. I had to list everything we had had and then she went away to work out our final bill. Luckily, for them, we are honest but I wonder how many people have got away with the odd pint or two. Finally, at the moment forget the Gormet description. It was OK, above average. We may well be back for a drink at a later date. Remember #staysafe
