"Unbelievable starters some olives in a garlic marinade and some nice warm bread with the most beautiful garlic butter I ever tasted! For main I had the classic burger which out of hundreds I tasted is right now top one for presentation flavour tenderness all you want in a burger! My partner had the Portuguese speciality little French was she was so in love with it that she is trying to replicate the sauce at home!! For desert we had slice of homemade carrot cake and chocolate fudge and again top quality! Service is as good as you can get the space is lovely warm and welcoming top 3 restaurants I have been definitely the best in Norfolk"

"Really surprised how good this place was. Service friendly and efficient. Cocktails very good and beer also good. Had two tapas each and some crispy pitta. It was more than enough (although my wife managed a brownie for pudding (which she said was the best she has had). The food was excellent very reasonably priced and high quality. The Cypriot beans were our favourite! £50 for all the food and drink very good value. Will definitely return to try some different dishes. Thank you"

"An exceptionally unique dining experience! Our holiday companion booked Pamela’s for dinner and we were unsure of what to expect, however we were assured of good quality food and a great experience and we certainly were not disappointed. Upon arrival we were shown to a table in the lounge, provided with the menus and ordered drinks. Service is exceptionally professional and friendly from arrival to departure. The decor is most unique and very fun to take in. The upstairs dining room is more casual and I loved watching the chefs in the open kitchen. The food was beautifully presented and delicious. Our vegetarian diner was slightly limited for choice and there was a blip with the main course, however it was handled and recovered very well (we were unaware when booking, however we have now been advised to phone ahead a minimum of 24-hours and special meal arrangements can be made in advance for vegetarian meals). The fish cakes and miso Salmon were very delicious and cooked to perfection. The duck legs had crispy skin, moist meat and a tasty accompanying Orzo pasta. All in all I would thoroughly recommend Pamela’s for a delicious meal with 5* service. Vegetarian options: Recommended to advise the restaurant a minimum of 24-hours in advance. There were 2 starters and 1 main course (featuring pasta on all dishes) on the a la carte menu, however if you call in advance then arrangements can be made."

"We booked the rest restaurant for 5:30pm to have dinner (2 adults and 2 young children). When we arrived, the waitress took our name and booking details and asked us to wait until the table was ready. We waited, waited, and waited for the waitress to return 15minutes on, and making conversation with other guests who looked frustrated at also waiting around, we were taken to our table at the back. Our kids were starving, so we immediately placed the order for starters, mains AND drinks together. The drinks were taking a long time to arrive, so my wife gave the kids water from their beaker water bottle. Our drinks arrived after 20mins from ordering, and asking for them twice. The restaurant was quite busy, but we could see that there were lots of other guests trying to catch the attention of the staff members, and could hear arguments on the other end of the restaurant. After an hour, our starters had still not arrived, so my wife asked how long it would be. The waitress said she would go check and come back. After 15minutes, I asked another waitress to give us an update. The waitress came back and said that our starters were being cooked and would be out in 10minutes we sighed relief, and told our kids that food was coming. We realised that food was clearly taking a long time to cook, so said to the waitress to bring our starters and mains together, rather than waiting around we had plans onwards, and it had been over an hour already since placing the order. After another 20minutes, we asked the waitress where our starters were, as she had said it was 10minutes away. This time, a very rude (manager) came to our table and said that our starters were at the back of the queue, as we had asked for the starters to be brought with the mains! This was absolutely pathetic, and we mentioned that our kids were starving, as it had been 90minutes since placing our order. The manager said that this is normal and offered us complimentary prawn crackers (but charged us for the dips, which we later realised). After another 45minutes and seeing other guests arguing about the same issue, we saw comfort that we weren 't the only ones in this mess. Our kids were starving so ate the prawn crackers in a hurry. When the food arrived, it was bedtime for the kids, so we asked for the bill and takeaway boxes. The bill arrived with a 10% service charge and additional cost for the complimentary prawn crackers. I asked the waitress to deduct the 10% service charge and queried the complimentary prawn crackers, and if there was anything they could do by way of discount for the lengthy delay. The rude manager came out and started shouting at us, saying that he doesn 't like families with young children in his fancy restaurant, and he cannot offer a discount as we would be leaving a negative review. I couldn 't believe he was saying this almost bullying us into leaving a positive review! Our kids were crying, so I said to give me the card machine for me to pay using AMEX. The manager said that they don 't accept AMEX, but I highlighted that he 's got a AMEX sign outside the door. Infact, he was using a AMEX wallet in which the receipt came. He was very offensive and said that it 's his business and he can do what he wants photos of the AMEX sign outside uploaded. I would avoid visiting this restaurant and I would suggest Trading Standards look into how this man operates a business very rudely."
