Norfolk Mead

Absolutely outstanding birthday dinner for 4, highly recommend the restaurant. Beautifully cooked and presented food, delicious both to look at and eat. We were especially impressed that the kitchen willingly provided an alternative main course for our tame vegetarian. Our son and his girlfriend stayed over in the Sea Beet summer house suite - spacious and well-appointed accommodation - and very much enjoyed breakfast the following day.

Attended a friends wedding on Saturday 18th June 2022. The venue is secluded and a great setting for a getaway or event. Food throughout the day was incredible and the staff out of this world. Super attentive, bright and engaging. Particularly Alex who went above and beyond. A real credit to James and Anna, the owners, who clearly love what they do.

Lovely bedroom to boot. Comfy and spacious with lovely decor and all the little touches. That shower too. Amazing. Highly recommend and will return. Thank you to the entire team for looking after us all.

Fabulous Sunday lunch varied choice. We arrived early so had drinks on the terrace and were seated earlier than our reservation. Great staff, very accommodating. Definitely need to book ahead.

As a quest of the bride & groom, my wife and myself, where taken back by the wonderful food, which was provided throughout the day. The staff worked very hard and I must congratulate them. No request was too much. All this help to make a brilliant day into a fantastic day.

Had afternoon tea. First time visit. Lovely building set in nice grounds. The afternoon tea was tasty and we couldn't fault the selection. Staff were very pleasant. What was strange is that the tiered cake tray arrived. but no tea. I asked if the tea was on its way and the response was ' oh, you want tea, that's fine I'll bring some ' I would have thought that tea was a fundamental part of afternoon tea?

It was so odd in having to request it. There was quite a wait for the tea and we had to remind the waiting staff that it hadn't arrived. By this time we were half way through the sandwiches and cake. Eventually it came and it was nice but loose leaf tea would have been more in keeping rather than tea bags. Finally, the decor of the ground floor area is lovely and luxurious, apart from the dining area where we had the tea.

The room was bland with corporate style oak tables which had seen better days. Very out of keeping compared to the decor of the rest of the hotel. The room needed to feel far more opulent to make the afternoon tea feel special. Changing the tables would be a very good start. It's a shame as we enjoyed the food but the environment of the room let it down. We would return if some improvements could be made to the room.

We stayed for dinner, bed and breakfast. The dinner was outstanding; 3 courses of beautifully presented, delicious food. The best meal out we have ever had. The room was fabulous too. A very comfortable super king size bed, spacious surroundings nicely decorated. A Norfolk gem!

My husband and I spent the night here for Valentine's. From the welcome on our arrival and throughout, the staff were all friendly and informative, polite and efficient. In particular Liam was outstanding. I can see why he's been shortlisted for an award, so much so, I too voted for him (Good luck!). The food was great, and the bed and pillow so comfortable, and I'm pretty fussy! We shall definitely return, and sample the delicious looking afternoon tea next time. We'll done everyone!

One of the best steak dinners I have ever had. Stayed in this hotel for my birthday (which was roughly 2 years ago) and ate at the restaurant there too. I can't explain how good the food was' one of the best meals I've ever had. Staff were incredible too. Super friendly. I will definitely be going back there if I get the chance to head up to Norfolk. Wanted to write this review as a way to say thanks. So thank you.

We stayed for one night at The Norfolk Mead Hotel after hearing very good reports from family and friends who had previously visited, the hotel is a beautiful building set in a lovely quiet area of Coltishall, entering the reception area you can feel a relaxing atmosphere, we were greeted with a friendly and polite member of the staff, room was clean and tidy with the usual tea and coffee making facilities, the bed was large and very comfy, bathroom descent size with good shower. Restaurant staff were polite and attentive, the presention and the quality of the food was amazing. Can highly recommend.

Fantastic country house hotel and restaurant. The food here is AMAZING, I have to say that Dinner last evening was incredible and honestly the best restaurant meal I have EVER enjoyed.no hesitation in recommending a stay here. Hotel, staff and food awesome.11 out of 10.

My wife and friends went there for lunch and everyone loved the experience! Lovely setting, well presented rooms and a real care for detail. The staff were pleasant and welcoming and incredibly professional, it was calming! Definitely on our revisiting list.

Especially Victoria and Francesca & lovely Josh Our wonderful wedding was just perfect in every way - attention to detail - food completely amazing! Such great caring staff on every level. I simple can not thank you enough! It's a memory that will long live in our hearts and talked about for many years to come! All our love Linda & Nathan. X

Fabulous hotel. Lovely rooms, fantastic food and friendly and efficient staff. Nothing is too much trouble.

Sometimes you chance upon a real gem; a place that finds the balance of professional attentiveness, relaxed luxury and genuinely delicious food at a (very!) reasonable price. Our stay at Norfolk Mead Hotel this weekend was delightful. We were welcomed efficiently and warmly and our room (the Beachnut) was spacious, very clean and with plenty of lovely touches (press coffee, treat boxes etc).

Very comfortable bed. We had a lovely glass of wine in the bar (great subtle scented candles made for a relaxing ambience) before enjoying a fantastic dinner- the food really shines here and you can tell the owners come from a catering background. Service was spot on too and the chef easily accommodated gluten free requests. GF friends - the bread roll was really good.

The complimentary breakfast was also really excellent both in quality, timing and service. We had the kippers which were fresh and some of the best we have had in a long while (and we had a great one in Devon recently). I had the mushrooms on toast with egg and it was deliciously autumnal. We love new adventures but this place is definitely worth a revisit at any time of the year. We will be back.

Excellent. From arrival, to bar service, to restaurant service staff were very friendly and helpful. Evening meal was first class. Fine dining and excellent service. Fantastic stately home converted in to a hotel. Well worth a visit.

This place is so special! We had my birthday meal here tonight and it was excellent. The staff are friendly and helpful and the food absolutely delicious. The presentation of the food is beautiful, almost looks too good to eat! The setting of the hotel is gorgeous too. The food is all locally sourced and seasonal. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed. Very highly recommended.
