Very good food, excellent service decor a bit dated otherwise would be 5/5

After seeing great reviews we thought we would go for sunday lunch. We were seating quickly and drink order taken. But just as soon as we taken coats off and sat down we were asked straight away if we ready to order food when we hadnt even looked at menu. Menu said turkey was on but was told “we not doing turkey today” ok so maybe a slight change in menu, it happens. Roast dinners came out very fast, waitress said be careful of the metal tray the vegetables were in as its very hot. Not sure who it was hot for as the tray along with vegetables were hardly warm. Yorkie was great as was roastie. We had pudding and ordered a “profiteroles sundea”. Now when it came out it looked like some sort of fruit cake lumps and no profiteroles as we use to. I suspected maybe they do it different around here as we not locals. As soon as we finished puddings the dirties were taken away and 30 seconds later a bill put on table. Never asked us if everything was ok or if we wanted anything else so we saw that as our prompt to get out. As we were drinking up, the table behind us asked for profiteroles sundea and they were told “sorry we have ran out we now doing a sticky toffee pudding sundea” which now made sense of what we actually got. Good job my partner wasnt allergic to anything in it. I was dissapointed in the whole experience and it felt very rushed. From arriving to leaving (having only mains and puddings) was only 47 minutes. Great if you want quick meal out. Not for me. Felt it to be more of a older persons meal out than younger peoples.

Up in Norfolk on a weekend break, we came across this pub on way back to our holiday park from King's Lynn.Food was absolutely gorgeous, My daughter and I had one of the best lasagnes we've tasted and lovely fresh chips. My husband had marinated chicken with a superb garlic sauce and my son ate all of his crispy chicken. Shared Nacho platter also all disappeared! Will call in again if we stay this way.Staff were also very friendly and good with the kids

What a shame the carvery was nearly empty and vegetables cold at 12.30 and was told I couldn’t go up for a fresh helping of hot vegetables? We did let a member of staff know that the food was cold. I also phoned the manager with feedback after our meal. I don’t think we will dine there again. Such a shame

This is a lovely place to eat with a good roast, however yesterday the customer service from waitressing staff was shocking. They were miserable, slow and a bit sloppy. However, worst of all, I'm breastfeeding and my child has a milk allergy so I cannot have dairy in my diet. I said to staff at least 5 times I was dairy free and I was given mayonnaise, a Yorkshire pudding and ice cream of which I ordered their "vegan" ice cream. However this definitely wasn't as my child has a full blown reaction today and is screaming and in pain. This is appalling as not taking allergies and intolerances seriously could be lethal.

Disappointing. I had the roast beef which was pre packed rubbish, my wife had the beef pie with chips. Pie was ok but had to send back because the chip had clearly been re-fried. Service was very slow with very little care and poor attention to detail shame coz I had read the reviews so feel a very let down.
Very pleasant and friendly pub. Dog friendly too. Had a lovely late Sunday lunch.

Delicious Sunday Roast and veg. Thoroughly recommend the quality and portion size. Apple Crumble a bit too hot to eat straight away, could easily burn your mouth and not proper crumble on top which was disappointing.Service very good and friendly.Dog friendly in the bar but not restaurant part.Lively atmosphere.

Our first visit to The Carpenters Arms and it certainly didn’t disappoint. We both had the Sunday roast and it was simply the best Sunday roast we’ve ever had in a pub. Proper homemade food with an absolutely delicious home made taste. The food was spectacular however, I have to mention the best gravy I have ever tasted. Thank you Carpenters Arms-we’ll be back soon!

We have passed many times. Yesterday we stopped. A great meal cooked fresh, good beer and Low Alcohol Ghost Ship too. Marinated chicken with Stilton sauce, vegetables and potatoes. I can see why it is so popular.

Lovely casual restaurant selling pub type food. Had a juicy gammon steak and trimmings but spoiled by the poor quality chips. Good hot crispy good chips are essential What a shame as there are some really good frozen fat chips available
