The Old Forge Seafood - North Norfolk

Although the service staff were really friendly, chatty and made us welcome, the main reason for us rating was so a low score. our two stars are for service personnel. we got a small bowl of olives and a few homemade. brot am tisch. the brot was dry and fell apart as soon as you picked it up. we had to start scallops and prawns (the Spanish art). prawns were nice and well cooked. scallops were slim and spiced. for the first we had a half lobster that was clearly frozen was very close to its use after the date. it was dry and tasteless and had an extremely poor fishy smell. our other head was moans in lobster sauce, which was overboiled and a soak that tasted nothing. I guess it came from a package. we've ever had a little glass of wine that wasn't good, but at least it helped wash away the taste of our main thing. the last nail in the sarg was that this came to over 102. completely and completely overpriced.

Excellent food, very tasteful, well cooked and presented. the facility in the restaurant looks a little dated. small it range that does not overcrow or means noisy. I had started my main course when a party of 4 came. as a john travolta, he's probably looking for his old man. he had been seen in different places. it declared the cameramen against the restaurant and the owner to lock the front door when all the diners had arrived.

We couldn't speak more highly about the establishment, the food, the owners and the staff. It is like walking into a rural French country restaurant. The staff are lovely, goodhumoured and efficient and the food is really lovely: proper traditional Frenchstyle cooking. It has taken...us until middle age to have cause to be in Norfolk, and so we can't predict if and when we'll ever be back, but if we ever are, it's the first place we'll go to eat.

We booked an early table pre Thursford Christmas Show dinner and what a lovely place!! I knew we were going to get on with Colin when I spoke to him on the phone straight talking and says it as it is kind of guy!...Food was fantastic, service excellent and all staff fully aware we were on a time frame for the show so served us quickly and gently reminded us to keep an eye on the time. We are definitely coming here again!

Stopped here for 2 nights while we were visiting the area and enjoyed the restaurant on the first night. The food was so good, Colin's homemade bread and homemade garlic mayonnaise set the standard and it wasn't let down the scollops were cooked to perfection,...followed by out fish mains, Colins special and a Monk fish. We made room for puddings of crumble and pannacotta. The food was fantastic and Colin and his staff are so welcoming and helpful.
