The Victoria At Holkham

Service, the personal and the place itself are excellent. the food I have to say was best average when considering what they are charging. burger was massif over boiled with very little taste no coleslaw or partial salad and some chips in a bowl for £20 is quite a bit. the desert was beautiful, but was just slightly warmed and not so exciting with just a small piece of apple cake with something custard and that is £9. I appreciate his north norfolk full and I am happy to pay, but I expect better than average.

Beautiful restaurant, great atmosphere. good was nice, but I felt that the vegetarian option was very overpriced compared to the other foods.

We really enjoyed our first visit to The Victoria for a birthday meal. Tasty food, great service and ambience. All three courses were delicious. Highly recommended!

We had Sunday Lunch and were warmly welcomed and pleasantly surprised to see two dog treats on our table for our two dogs. The experience got even better as we were given two complimentary glasses of Prosecco as we had mentioned it was a special occasion on booking form. We also had a great table over looking the marshes and migrating birds. All very lovely. The food was exceptional as well the roast beef was superb as were the two puddings we chose. However after the initial very warm welcome we found the service a bit lacking. This got much worse when a late table of six arrived and we were subsequently ignored to the point we had to ask for our main plates to be cleared and whilst the waitress asked if we wanted to see the dessert menu she never actually returned with the menus. After 15 minutes or so we had to then flag down someone else for those. Then no one came and took the pudding order for another 15 minutes and again we ended up flagging down a waiter who went and got another waiter ? who eventually took our order for pudding. If it hadn’t been a special occasion I think we would’ve given up before this and gone home after the main course. The same thing happened with getting and paying the bill; we went up to the bar to do that in the end as we waited so long. It’s a shame as the staff were very friendly and attentive to start with, but then sort of forgot about us. Didn’t make us feel particularly valued in the end.

Always love our trips to The Victoria. Staff are lovely, so helpful and knowledgeable. Food delicious and very obliging to my food allergies. I was surprised at the number of dogs in the hotel, I've never seen so many before, never a problem as long as the owners keep their pets under control and on a short lead.
