Excellent food in a lovely village. This was really exceptional with some very innovative dishes that are beautifully presented.

Had a most enjoyable evening here tonight. Efficient, friendly service with a well thought out and executed menu. Nice approach in how you ordered your food and though we knew we were in a formal setting, there was an enjoyable informality. Dishes were interesting, well presented and very tasty.

The best meal we have ever had in Norfolk ( and there’s been a lot!) Exceptional food , great service- we will definitely be returning with all our friends!!

Would highly reccommend for Sunday lunch. We had the roast beef and the roasted squash and the flavours are exceptional. The menu isn't huge but that's what makes a simple Sunday lunch done well. Buzzy atmosphere and our dog was made very welcome

One of the best restaurants we have been to in a long while! We never leave reviews but wanted to as the food and service has been 10/10. Every dish has been excellent, thank you, highly recommend!

Possibly the nicest meal I've ever had. Am aware that this sounds like hyperbole. Good range vegan options. Felt totally looked after. Delicious food. Great service . Heaven.
I wrote the above review 3 years ago and am editing it now to say, I dream about this place. It's the one place that my husband and I always say that one day we will go back to. It will forever hold a place in my heart.

This is a brilliant restaurant perfect for a long lunch or dinner. All the plates are served tapas/sharing style for a very social dining experience. The menu is great and plenty of choices to suit all dietary requirements. The service is excellent and you will never feel rushed, just order at your own pace and enjoy the well thought through and extensive wine and cocktail list:-) Deserts are off the charts! Highly recommended. And dogs very welcome ?❤️

Came here for my birthday and was amazed at how welcoming the service is from all the staff, food was beautiful as was the presentation, service was quick there was no long waits for food or drinks, I even got a free glass of bubbles AND dessert piece because it was my birthday which made it extra special couldn't recommend this place enough, they really do go the extra mile with a smile ?

We had an incredible experience at Socius on their September Supper Club evening. The food was fantastic, the wind pairings were imaginative and coherent with the food and there was a buzzy atmosphere all evening. One of the best experiences we've had. Thanks to the Socius team.
It is a tasting/tapas style place with the kitchen on show. It has been recommended by various organisations including the AA and Michelin.
Very good food, oyster arinchini was a personal favourite along with the pork belly. My party also enjoyed the tuna tartar and the salmon, though personally I wondered if they would have benefited from stronger flavours. It is of a standard you would expect of one of the best restaurants in the area. Though I would be interested to compare it to restaurants of a similar style in a more competitive area. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. The desserts were also very good. If you want to try fine dining it's definitely a good option. As you would expect it is not cheap. The wine selection was extensive although there were not many beers and none on draught.
The restaurant was reasonably loud with the kitchen being open to view, questionable music and being quite busy. There was also a strong and unpleasant strange smell for a few moments, which then disappeared quite quickly, but did effect the dining experience.
Overall, I would recommend it if you have the money to spare and are in the North Norfolk area.
Vegetarian options: There were quite a few vegetarian dishes including a separate vegetarian menu which was quite helpful to one of our party. The aubergine curry was good.
Dietary restrictions: There was a separate menu for lactose free people. Which was helpful and the staff were impressively on top of helping in this regard.

A fantastic dining experience. We were lucky enough to order almost everything off the menu and all 4 of us shared each dish. Everything we ate we devoured. The staff were delightful, informed and relaxed and seemed to genuinely enjoy what they were doing. I look forward to returning.

Our third time here (visited by from London) and still one of our favourite restaurants anywhere. Everything was interesting and flavourful and we love the small plates sharing concept as it means we get to try more fabulous food. Fine dining at its best. Definitely worth a visit if you love good food.

Just phenomenal! ?
