“ The best kind of Michelin Star Restaurant! We went for a birthday weekend with friends and stayed the night. From arrival its bliss, the rooms were glorious, simple but with all the best finishing touches and amenities. Dinner was the best, Kevin and Jackie were so welcoming and friendly, the service was excellent they were chatty and all the details were amazing! We opted for the tasting menu, it was beautiful. They managed my allergy to shellfish and I didn’t feel in the least bit like I was missing out. What we loved about this place was of course the food but you expect it to be good, we loved the atmosphere, it was warm, welcoming, unstuffy and most of all relaxing! I’ve had week long holidays that I have left less relaxed from that one night here. Breakfast the following morning was delicious and varied so you could have just what you fancied. By far my favourite restaurant and indeed overnight stay! We will be returning. Thank you ”
“ Food here was exemplary! Definitely one of the best restaurants we have tried in Norfolk so far! Wine recommendations were great, and Jacki was excellent at service. Our glasses were topped up at the perfect time and plates were not left or removed too quickly. I used to work in a fine dining restaurant many years ago and this is definitely a skill I have noticed seldom elsewhere. We felt thoroughly looked after. A full 5 out of five for the restaurant and amazing food! Thank you so much Kevin and Jacki We will be back! ”
“ Just fabulous! The tasting menu was superb, with each course perfectly flavoured and balanced, and leading onto the next. Each dish introduced and served by Kevin. Jacki is so welcoming that you feel like a special guest. They certainly merit their Michelin Star. (We did not stay as we have family nearby.) ”
“ Our stay at Neptune was an absolute delight - spacious, well-appointed and comfortable room, beautiful food (both the evening meal tasting menu and their wonderful breakfasts), very friendly and accommodating owners, and exquisite attention to detail throughout the experience. Cannot think of a single thing to change. Would thoroughly recommend!! ”
“ Kevin and Jacki made us feel welcome by greeting us at the door, both attending the table with a friendly and attentive service, taking the time to explain the food they were presenting to us. The gaps between the amazing courses were perfect giving us time to chat and prepare for the next exciting course. Every course was perfect with the right combination of tastes and flavours. We had one vegetarian with us and Kevin created a delicious alternative for them. Looking forward to finding an excuse to visit again soon. Thank you Kevin and Vicki for making our mums 80th birthday perfect. Thank you for the thoughtful birthday surprise at the end. ”
“ A fantastic stay and tasting menu meal for to celebrate my mum's recent significant birthday. A very friendly welcome and an absolutely delicious meal with then a very restful sleep in the rooms above. Would definitely recommend and book again. ”
“ Superb...beautiful food, lovely atmosphere and service. Rooms immaculate and very thoughtful in the small details .. can't recommend highly enough. We will definitely be back.. a real treat tucked away in a quiet location. Thank you for a lovely stay. Our compliments to the whole experience . Danielle and Darren Gilmore ”
“ Eating and staying at the Neptune is one of our most precious treats. Jacki and Kevin are excellent hosts. The rooms are spotlessly cleaned and well equipped; with quality teas and coffees plus wonderful home made biscuits. The evening meal is created exactly as you'd expect of a Michelin star restaurant: each course is designed to make the ingredients sing to their best. You'll often be served by chef Kevin himself! Jacki is always on the move between tables. Her knowledge of the wine list is well worth exploring, and she recommends by what works and not what is the most expensive. Tables are always yours for the night so you can relax. We're great fans of the coffee and pastries to finish the night... even if we are already full. Breakfast is exactly what you'd expect: cereal, fruit juice, toast, etc except this one has a proper chef creating it. We keep going back! ”
