   This was our first visit to The Nest and we were really impressed by the food! We are regular visitors to Socius, Old Bank, Victoria etc. but this was by far, the best Sunday roast we have had yet!! The pork was exquisite and the level of detail and flavour in everything was super! We have now booked to have the tasting menu on NYE! Staff were great and I loved that we could hear ourselves talk!! Lovely ambience.

   The food was delicious but by 1.pm there was only one portion of beef left. I think this was an oversight by the restaurant as beef is a popular choice. Our waitress was very helpful.

   Starter and Dessert were amazing, my main was disappointing, however my partner loved his. Weird dress code, gave the impression of a posh eatery however people dining in lounge wear and trainers

   The most amazing experience. The food is locally sourced, of the highest quality, clever and edgy - and just superb in every way. This is the best new addition to the Norfolk scene in a long time

   A disappointing experience. There was no ambience, the waiters were scruffily dressed and our waiter spoke so quietly we had to ask him to repeat. The menu was very odd, we struggled to find anything we fancied and went for the special. At £65 for two this was very expensive as we had to order sides, another £10. The cabbage wasn’t cooked and the potatoes were overcooked. We didn’t have starters or puddings because they didn’t appeal. Sadly, will not be going back.

   Unfortunately our experience wasn't as positive as we would have liked due to the restaurant being cold. We were told there had been a leak and the central heating couldn't be put on. We asked why the log fire wasn't on, as an alternative to heat the place, but also to give a cosy ambience which was lacking, and were told that logs had been delivered but they were still wet and so couldn't be used yet. The manageress mused that perhaps they could have got some from Tescos...we thought that would have been a good idea. The food was good, although the radish salad could have done with more dressing. Side portions were small. We didn't stay for dessert due to the ambience. We were a party of 6.

   Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry that it was chilly. The log burner is all up and running, so the restaurant is nice and cosy now. All your notes are taken on board and hopefully we'll see you again soon.

   We were looking forward to eating here after all the hype of London restaurateurs opening a venue near us in Norfolk. I can only say what a disappointment the food was. It was expensive with absolutely no wow factor at all. This was ordinary food at high end prices. My wife summed it afterwards when she said she thought the best course was the bread and butter appetiser, mind you that was one small piece of soda bread each for £8.

    We stayed over for one night at Nest Farmhouse and had dinner from the a la carte menu. We choose the Chicken Parfait to start, followed by the venison. Chicken Parfait was too pureed for my liking but my husband loved it so just a personal preference on texture. The home made hobnob biscuits that accompanied, were amazing! The venison was presented in two different styles, braised and bbq style haunch. Both were beautifully cooked and the braised meat so flavoursome it was fantastic. Dish served with roasted purple carrots, roasted beetroot and mash. All veg was excellent. We shared a dessert of donuts which were delicious. To drink, we had a glass of champagne which was the most lovely golden colour, nice and dry. We ordered a bottle of Valpolicella which was okay though I didn't think it warranted the £70 ticket. The wine list is quite limited and I would have liked to seen an Australian Shiraz and/or Merlot and a Chilean or Argentinian Malbec - perhaps next time we visit because we will definitely return. Finally, the staff are great, friendly and professional! And if you stay over, breakfast is fabulous too.
