"Before I start I will say I emailed this venue to complain and get insipid reply so here's my review. Being gluten free was impressed when phoned to book that was asked about allergies, however we were assured that gluten free option for the car very was available and told they did gf gravy and Yorkshire puddings!! On arrival all good, everyone else was keen for the carvery, I asked about y.pus and gravy and was told NO y.puds didn't do gf and we were never told they did, we said could they check another waitress arrived and basically made out we were lying, because of this decided to not have carvery on principle was then told only other option on the menu was the chicken dish which would mean everyone waiting at least 20 minutes or something like an omelette off the other menu. As time was an issue went with carvery minus y.pud. I am coeliac but at the moment quite mildly, to my surprise on getting the carvery found the y.puds surrounding the meat and the same fork used in the meat to dispense the puddings, not a major issue for me but could be for someone else, on leaving did mention this to staff and in the subsequent email, was told they had spoken to another customer who asked for gluten free and as she said she didn't have a problem with it, then they didn't see it was a problem !!!! Desserts there is an offer for 2 courses rest of my friends decided on various spong puddings with custard my option SORBET !!! Everyone having nice winter comfort food pudding me iced flavoured water. Hence will not return, I appreciate if you are gf you could avoid carvery but if in a group as I was,and being assured you were catered for, finding the Yorkshire by the meat and then having to wait for 20 minutes for something of the menu while everyone else Is already eating. One plus point the gf gravy was nice and plentiful, to the point I shared it and was told it was far better than the normal gravy. This was in December as I haven't been back assume this is all still the case but who knows hopefully they may have taken notice and it may have changed."

"We was on holiday in Norfolk with friends who had previously been to The Bell and said the food was great so we decided to go there and meet up with some old friends of there,s we arrived before the others we then ordered COD and Chips. Salmon.Sausage Mash 3 Burgers 2 had pulled pork 1 had chilli beef toppings when the food arrived 1hr later the Burgers were over cooked the pulled pork was dried out and inedible plus the Burger buns were burnt black or not even cooked when we complained the manager owner could not see what was wrong when I pointed out the Pulled Pork was dry and unbeatable which I had to spit out into a tissue he said it should have had some sauce on it not that it was dried out which is visible in the photos takenhe offered to replace BUT we did NOT want to wait another hour for replacement food so we declined one burger had wedges they were overcooked and hard all in all the the Burger meals SHOULD NOT have left the kitchen are they professionals or amateurs after a much heated discussion over payment Jason decided to change the previous offer of 50% OFF one burger meal and not charge for the other 2 burger meals to 50% OFF all the food bill hasten to say we accepted but we decided not to wait for desserts. When a party member said about us putting a review on TripAdvisor he not not seem worried only to say we could ruin a small business i am afraid it is your CHEF who is ruining you busines by sending out unsuitable food"
