What way is there to make a northerner happy other than by sitting him down in front of a plate of…read morefish and chips (with mushy peas) Whilst visiting family down in Norfolk they told me of this chippy, with dine in that does "the best fish around" approaching this place I could see a Que. of folk outside the building all stood there awaiting the fish to be cooked fresh. As we went to sit inside we found a table and like most little businesses we where greeted with a cheery hello. Normally I just order fish and chips but on this menu I could choose which fish I wanted. Of course being northern I had to have a bit of "wet" with it, and pored my peas over my fish. As I did this a voice in the corner of the room stated to the rest of the diners that I must be northern as only northern folk pore peas over there fish, apparently... I confirmed with the gentleman that I was a northerner and he said that the local fish caught down here is second best to fish up north which made me proud. Anyway, I digress... The fish was indeed very nice, not too oily and the chips where spot on! The menu just doesn't include fish, there's sausages, pies and much much more! Staff where more than helpful and friendly! This well priced small business is a little gem in Fakenham and I will return again when I'm next down.

This is my regular when it comes to lunch breaks and come here on a daily basis. The thing that…read morekeeps me coming back time after time is the staff. I've never meet such a happy and welcoming bunch in all my life. Inside is warm and inviting with plenty of space. And outside has a nice beer garden that is wonderful through the summer months. There is plenty for kids to do as well with both outside and inside play areas. The food is of good quality for the price, and portion sizes are more than adequate. The BBQ Ribs are to die for, plenty of meat and has been cooked to perfection. Meat just falls off the bone. The meals are very affordable too as all main courses are two for one. If you looking for a place to have a meal out with friends and family and don't want it to cost an arm and a leg. This is the place to go.

After it being recommended to me I took my wife there for a meal. She ordered the duck off the…read moreSpecials Board. When it was served blood poured out of the duck as soon as my wife put her fork into it. It was so raw and rubbery she couldn't cut into it. We complained and they took it back and zapped it in a microwave for about 2 minutes then brought it back. It was still bleeding and the chips had soaked up the blood. Needless to say my wife left her meal. I had rack of beef and chicken. Although it was cooked, it was hardly anything to write home about. When paying I was asked if we enjoyed our meal I told the guy on the till about the duck being raw. He said it's supposed to be a bit pink. I said maybe so, but there shouldn't be blood pouring from it. We still had to pay the full amount even though my wife hardly touched her meal. We DEFINATELY won't be going back.
