The food, waiters and even chefs were all amazing and you couldn't ask for better. However, the owner who was around the till was rude to us and his own staff. We over heard multiple times him talking down to his lovely employees, whilst not exactly being a great help himself. Other than him the experiance was incredible.
Gave this place a try tonight. Friendly staff. Food pricey for take away! Tasted fine but my main issue is the VERY LACK OF CHICKEN IN the chicken pad Thai! I mean REALLY NO CHICKEN at all apart from a couple of bits of shredded chicken and padded out with loads of spring onion and other bits but literally NO CHICKEN!! I shall not be returning, sorry. Tasted great though! A pity as has great potential!
I don't use the term "hidden local secret" often but this is one of those. The food here is simply exceptional. I have spent months in Thailand and this absolutely stands up against some of the best meals I've had over there. The pub is an old school pub. It's not gonna win any awards for decoration. But the food 100% makes up for it This is a must visit in my option for high quality Thai food whilst in Norfolk
This is definitely the best food we have eaten in Dereham/Fakenham. The food was absolutely amazing and I recommend that you go there and try it because you won't be sorry. The staff are lovely too. The only thing I would suggest is that it would be really nice to try some authentic desserts. The decor was lovely and the tables were lovely too. We came here for my mum's birthday and it was divine. All the prices were as you would expect and totally worth it. We starters of the steamed thai dim sum and tempura prawns. Mains we had the sizzling pork medallions and the sizzling mixed seafood and the crispy fried duck. The sizzling dishes were actually sizzling on arrival, it was amazing.
Quirky pub/restaurant specialising in Thai food. Small restaurant but tables are well spaced. Service was friendly and prompt considering there was only 1 waitress. Food was fresh and well cooked with generous portions. First visit but we'll be back very soon.
From the outside and as you enter it appears to be a quaint country pub, but once you walk a little further the gorgeous smell of fine Thai cuisine guides you in the your seat. The starters were fantastic and the mains somehow topped that! A all round fantastic Thai meal, which I will definitely go again to try some more of what they have to offer. Well done and thank you
We went to Ordnance Arms Thai restaurant (Not the pub) for a dinner and the experience was a mixed one. The food wasn't tasty and not the standards of a proper Thai restaurant. We ordered some starters & some fried rice. The starters were all right but the rice was over cooked, doesn't taste that great. The ambience was lovely , the people who served us were very kind and respectful. However though, they don't seem to be knowing what goes inside the dish. For example, they don't know what's inside a seafood fried rice. This place has a huge potential, these staff have a huge potential, if they concentrate on a few items rather than a lot of Thai items. There is a bigger Car park at the back of the restaurant which can come quite handy. Thanks very much.
Review for Thai restaurant only. We came here for dinner on NYE. The booking process was simple. The staff were very welcoming and the decor is very pretty. Unfortunately, the food was not very good, particularly the main dishes (chilli fried rice and special fried rice), which were sticky, lacked flavour, and used budget chicken for the meat dishes. There was also confusion around the orders and we were served the wrong dish twice, which meant that one of us had a long wait for food. The staff were apologetic about this, but it was quite embarrassing hearing the chefs arguing in the kitchen next to us. There was also no discount offered in compensation for this.
Superbly welcoming pub with excellent beer and food. We visit this place when on holiday in the area every year and have not had a negative thought about going back. The local community support this place and we have always been brought into their circle. The meals we have had are great and we will happily return.
