The Old Forge Seafood - North Norfolk

This was the second time we have visited and based on what we told her about our previous experience our daughter decided she would like this for a family birthday meal.We are all seafood lovers and the variety on the menu is excellent. The menu isn't exactly the same as that on the website as the supply of fish and seafood is ever changing. We all had starters which were very good and then all four of us opted for the truly enormous seafood platter. Each plate was a seafood orgy. I won't attempt to list everything, but I would say that I was the only one who came close to finishing. Fortunately my wife asked if we could put what we had left in a doggy bag and the staff obliged. We left with two large cartons of crab, lobster, smoked salmon etc.The food was wonderful. The service was excellent. I never give 5 stars, but I have made an exception this time. The food was not cheap, but my daughter will only have one 21st so we treated ourselves. Highly recommended.

We had an excellent experience at The Old Forge, the staff extremely helpfull and the owner chef Colin was an excellent host,answering questions about his restaurant and his `catch`.We always source a seafood restaurant as its our favourite.Our meal was gorgeous, fresh oysters etc.Will definitely be booking again on our return to Norfolk.A little gem.Mark Karen, Derby

I would not recommend this restaurant. The prices were too high for the quality of the food, and my casserole was extremely salty, even for someone who enjoys savory flavors. Some of the fish was overcooked and very chewy. The wait staff was friendly and helpful, but the owner was rude. I regret not choosing a different place to eat.

This restaurant was visited as a long awaited family get together;.having researched the menu via the web one would have expected a first class sea food meal as the menu on web site was extensive and prices appeared reasonable.This was not the case, the web site menu stated prices for a 3 course set menu £21.50 and a 2 course set menu £18,50,on arrival we were only offered the Al A CARTE menu at inflated prices with limited item to choose. When the meals arrived they were served on cold plates with cold food,the crab had been frozen and had no taste at all also all the fish dishes were cold on arrival at the table.

Our family of seven visited the Old Forge last week for an evening meal. We all ordered different starters and main courses and all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The accompanying vegetables were well cooked and plentiful and the bread was delicious. Highlights were the fish soup, scallops, bouillabaisse and swordfish. We had eaten out at several gastro pubs prior to this and all agreed that our meal at the Old Forge was the best ! Thank you Colin and team for looking after us !
