The 1559 - Broadland

We ordered a bottle of Marlborough Riesling which was delicious. We ordered the slow cooked Feathered Blade Steak and the Norfolk Pork Belly and Cheek. Both meals were fantastic. We then ordered desert to be delivered to our room. We had the chocolate Orange Fondant with vanilla bean ice cream and a cream brûlée. Again both were scrumptious. The service in the restaurant was perfect until the end of our meal when we wanted to leave to go to our room and it took nearly 30 minutes to get the bill....actually I gave up and went back to our room and left my husband to deal with it. Disappointing. I will review the accommodation after our stay.

We arrived and waited to be seated, unfortunately there wasn't anyone available to help. After a quite a few minutes one of our party went to the bar to ask when a lady arrived and said she would show us to our table. A while later we were told that we had been seated at the wrong table and had to move. We were then told the food available was a Carvery only. Pointed in the direction of the food and left to get on with it. We decided to skip starter and go straight to main course. the carvery was hot and tasty but nothing special. The service was minimal. Plates cleared we mDe our way back to the dessert area. Choosing apple crumble found the custard jug was empty, this took quite a few minutes to sort out as there was no one around to help. Custard arrived, a well known branded type, however warmed and placed in attractive jug. The meal was pleasant but the information given was limited. Perhaps a menu giving an idea of options available, prices, etc would have been very useful. Perhaps more staff to be sure you felt comfortable with your choices?

My Family I had the misfortune to sample the lamb at a Wedding Breakfast at Sprowston Manor in August. It was suppose to be medium rare but was almost uncooked with a rubbery texture. As it was totally inedible we sent back the meal and asked for the lamb to be cooked well done but after a 20 minute wait it came back just as uncooked. By this time the plates were being cleared up for the sweets so we just went hungry. When my wife spoke to the Wedding co-ordinator she just said they 'had words ' with the chef. I have NEVER in my life encountered such poor service and rubbish food.

Freindly..no dislikes at all ....very well presented

The service and choice of food was fantastic. Staff vey helpfull and friendly,
