"We have been loyal customers for many years, but today's experience was extremely disappointing. We waited 30 minutes for our drinks, and when they finally arrived, we were told that the server was new. While understanding, I politely reminded her about our order. Despite this, our food never arrived, causing stress for my 90-year-old diabetic mother who needed to eat. After 45 minutes and another reminder, we were met with annoyance rather than politeness. As a restaurant owner myself for 14 years, I know how busy it can get, but the restaurant was nearly empty at that time. When the food finally arrived, it was subpar - my bacon and Brie were mostly fat, while my mother's turkey was mostly stuffing. No one checked in on us or apologized for the delay."

"it was so good to go back to the parson woodforde today that allyson steve is at the tax. a so beautiful pub, recently reopened and worth a visit. lunch was absolutely excellent, the leber and speck was for dying. After we ate in the drayton old lodge at many occasions, we were thrilled to hear that this amazing couple had taken over this pub and gave us a reliable spot to catch up with friends. I could add that we have to travel there for an hour and half a time, but it is worth it. when the opportunity appears, we will certainly use the beautiful accommodation and then they can enjoy the full monty breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner! a beautiful greeting, especially for our labor, harvey, (ventilated in the bar area), which the experience as much as we enjoyed. thanks to allyson and her personal for such a nice lunch time, we will be back! especially when my favorite shiraz was reminded and produced at my arrival how good this is! I wish them all very best in their new venture."

"Where do I even begin? The service from the woman behind the bar was shocking. When I inquired about dairy-free options for my son, I was told that nothing could be modified and that they don't cater to allergies at all! I pointed out the menu's claim that they could accommodate such needs, but my concerns were met with an eye roll. I then tried to order him some chips, but was told they were fried in the same oil as dairy and meat products, and since we are vegetarian, that wouldn't work. I asked about the vegan dishes, only to learn that they are also prepared alongside meat products, so there's no guarantee they would actually be vegan. At this point, my daughters had already become excited about eating out and the play area, so I reluctantly decided to go along with it and ordered three sandwiches on granary bread and a child's fish and chips. My son had a packet of crisps. When the sandwiches arrived, they were absolutely terrible. The cheese and onion sandwich consisted of two slices of cheap store-bought bread, some pre-grated cheese, and a few onion slices—without even a hint of butter! It certainly wasn’t inexpensive; we paid £45 for four soft drinks, three sandwiches, and a child's meal. As for the play area, it was concerning—there were sharp screws poking through the wood chips, loose sharp fixtures on top of the slide, and a large exposed electric cable under the swings! We decided to leave swiftly; it was such a disappointing way to end our holiday, when it should have been a lovely final meal before heading home. I was appalled by their attitude towards me—I felt like an inconvenience. The food was awful, and I genuinely recommend avoiding this place if you are vegan or have allergies; even if a dish is labeled vegan, they certainly don’t take the necessary precautions to keep it separate from meat products. It’s truly unfortunate, as the location by the river is beautiful, and we were all so excited to be there, but we left feeling very disappointed. We definitely won't be returning."

"Barnham Broom is located in the middle of nowhere, and has the benefit of being home to two golf courses, a reasonably good gym/spa and the glorious Norfolk countryside. But rather that capitalise on those opportunities, Barnham Broom take the “captive market” method of pricing to a new level. Nobody goes to Barnham Broom for the food or drink, you go because of one of the aforementioned reasons. Maybe a golf trip, a spa break or just a stay in the Norfolk countryside. But once they have you, they know you have no choice but to pay whatever they want. The bar staff are genuinely embarrassed to charge the prices they do. After a round of golf, I was shocked that it would cost £5.95 for a simple pint of orange juice and lemonade! It’s frankly embarrassing and it leaves a very sour taste when attending what is a lovely venue. Having spoken to many golf members (past and present), they all share the same resentment that they are being ripped off, and the management think that “higher prices higher income” where in reality a fair price is likely to lead to more orders."
