The Carpenters Arms — Restaurant in North Norfolk

Booked for 2 people and rang 2 hours after booking to add 3 other people and told we are fully booked even though there was 4 tables outside unoccupied, the lemonade I had was flat, I mentioned it to the server and he replaced it with more flat lemonade out of the same bottle and I couldn’t be bothered to mention it again so left it. I had roast pork and thought it was expensive for what it was but gave it a chance and I got 2 very small pieces of pork and if it weren’t for the gravy it would’ve been so dry I wouldn’t of eaten it, I really don’t think it was worth the £17.95, the roast beef that my partner had was amazing and if I was to go back I would have the beef. The amount of flies that was flying around our food was Ridiculous and I know we live in the countryside but other pubs/restaurants aren’t the same. Living locally we try eat at all our local pub/restaurants but sadly this isn’t one we...

This is a beautifully presented pub has a bright, clean contemporary interior. Excellent food is served both at lunchtime and evening. There is a large garden to the rear with views over fields to the church. The pub is dog friendly.

Service was friendly and welcoming (thank you Rachel) and the food was delicious and plentiful. There are a number of specials available in addition to the main menu. Everything is home-cooked, they serve some nice beers and have a good wine list.

The cider braised pig cheek croquettes were delicious, as was the pork with bubble and squeak and cream cabbage and beautifully cooked pan fried Sea Bream. You will not leave hungry!

We booked a table for an evening meal and very glad we did, the pub was full on arrival at 7.30pm - so book is essential.

Definitely will visit again when we are next...

Went with my partner for my 50th birthday. We are both vegetarian and chose this place because it looked small and cosy, and offered a couple of vegetarian options, which is unusual for North Norfolk. Food was AMAZING, we both had the sweet potato burger which was tasty and moist, not a nasty dry burger as is sometimes the case with veggie restaurant meals. We thought this meal was THE BEST pub restaurant meal we've EVER had. Well worth the price.

Service was very friendly, and I even had a candle in my dessert for my birthday, although our drinks were forgotten at one point.

The pub and it's décor is great, a mix of modern design with old, vintage fixtures and fittings. The music wasn't too bad, we would prefer a mix of classic rock and 60s/70s folk and folk-rock, but not many places choose to play that...
