Best KPortal Reviews

First time in “The Barsham Arms” , you have to go here. We just bumped into this pub on our return from the Walsingham Church. This cozy pub has left the best impressions! Hospitable hosts, delicious dishes, beautiful presentation and wonderful dessert. Not to mention the kind staff who went the extra mile to keep my toddler happy !????
We discovered this place a few years ago, it was heaving and we had a slap up lovely Sunday lunch!
This time we went for an evening meal, right at the start, 5pm kick off. The food was delicious, but the restaurant was dead. Sticky table (wrong cleaning fluid) no smell but four flies hanging around. For the price, I'd expect better in terms of initial impressions. People only started arriving from 6:30pm for presumably booked tables, so no passing trade that day maybe. It felt a bit weird to be the only family in the entire venue, but obviously could not be helped!
Menu was very limited, we eat out a lot, try a lot of things, but not one of us saw anything we craved, HOWEVER they do offer chicken goujons, fish fingers etc. (Children's food) Just not on the menu.
All in all kitchen produced really lovely tasting food, well delivered, service was attentive, welcoming and friendly and toilets were clean. For the price I would have expected just a little extra attention to detail front of house and a menu that was a touch more expensive, but still worth a visit to this historic beautiful building for nice 'eats' :)
Overall very good food and service. We went as a group with three young children and they all enjoyed their meals. In terms of the adult meals, we felt the starters were excellent. Main courses were good but we perhaps expected a little more flavour in some of the dishes given the high standard of starters and pricing.
I had fish and chips which was good but came with the skin left on the haddock fillet - this is not my personal preference, in fact I can't remember the last time I went to a place that left the skin on battered fish.
Staff were friendly and the surroundings were very comfortable and relaxed.
Really lovely food
Nice and hot and a range of veggies, however the pub was almost empty
Drinks were served without ice and service was lacking considering the amount of staff members
We did ask to move tables as we were originally sat in the bar area
Not sure what happened, but came here for Sunday lunch for my fiancee birthday, but the pub was closed. Had no warning, no notice and no responses to my comms. Not sure what the circumstances were, hopefully nothing serious, but disappointed to not have what would have probably been a delicious meal
Had dinner here as we were staying close. It was a very good meal. The triple cooked chips were outstanding, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
The desert was to die for. Will definitely return when we next visit!
We stayed there overnight with our dog. The place feels cosy and homey. Team was very welcoming. There is probably no other place in the area to dine, which seems inconvenient BUT the food they serve happens to be absolutely delicious. Thank you for everything! Highly recommended.
Warn welcome from staff and friendly support and service. Made to feel comfortable. Good selection of local ales. House wine most acceptable. Some items off the menu but still left a good range of dishes to choose from. Food was of excellent quality and generous portions. Pea shoots salad delicious, as was tempura prawns. Grandson devoured his pigeon breast and declared it to be the best ever. My chicken with crisp Parma ham was filling and tasty. Only disappointment was chocolate mousse. Heavy and over rich.
Lovely atmosphere in this well appointed pub.
