White Horse Blakeney, North Norfolk

A Review by our Restaurant Critic - 'The Norfolk Diner'

It all started badly.
We arrived at the correct time and the place was busy.
The person that had booked (a Londoner) earlier that day for nine people was told there was no booking recorded.
This was not the fault of the White Horse as our friend had clearly made a booking with another establishment of the same name!
Anyway, the manager could not have been more helpful or professional and had us seated within minutes.

There are 30 wines available by the glass which is a welcome change from the usual three horrible red and white ones normally proffered.
Although the lunches mainly consisted of the traditional roasts and a couple of fish dishes, there were some interesting starters including a delicious Weybourne potted crab with Indian spices.
The roast lamb was beautifully cooked but tasteless and the roast loin of pork was very fatty, to such an extent that the children left it all.
The service was efficient and unobtrusive and the prices reasonable for North Norfolk.

Although we all agreed that we would definitely go back, a change of butcher would improve the experience.
