My other half had already treated me to a big weekend for my birthday before the actual day so I was somewhat surprised that on the actual day she also took me out to lunch. We had not previously eaten at Ambitions so I didn't know what to expect.The front of house staff were clearly nervous and unsure of themselves, hardly surprising given that they were all students. Nevertheless they did come over as polite and friendly. They were being helped out from time to time by tutors as it was still early in the year.The food was all well presented and nicely cooked. Canapés to start were dainty and tasty. The starters were generous and delicious. The soup before the main was enjoyable. The desserts provided a delightful finish to our meal. We ended our visit with a coffee and found that nearly two hours had gone by without us noticing.The standards are very high and any of the kitchen team could have been working in an ordinary restaurant already. I expect some of these students to go on to much higher levels.Thank you for your detailed review.This Thursday was the first restaurant service that the front of house students have been involved in, we were proud of the way they tackled the situation head on and during our feedback at end of evening they declared they had enjoyed the experience.We do hope we can welcome.e you back in the future.

This restaurant was formerly called Lazzarellas for which there are several Reviews existing - see the list as I informed you at the end of last year it would be closing. The new owners have improved everything. New decorations, new menu and crockery etc.

Once again another wonderful visit to The Courtyard. Katie again the perfect host. Attention to detail superb.Food was delicious. The atmosphere is spot on and everyone made to feel so welcome. Even though the restaurant is small you still feel like you have plenty of space and are not crammed in.One thing, make sure you book in advance to ensure you donât miss out.

Had a really nice meal from a difficult to choose from menu because of the great choice! Only downside was not being offered two cocktails under the 2-4-1 offer so ended up paying £6 for one instead of two. Looking forward to going back to try other meals. Love the decor particularly the pipework loo roll holders!Hi JulieThanks for a great review, we appreciate you taking the time to do so. Sorry about the mix up regarding the cocktails, we hope to see you again real soon.

Much too often these days eateries that cater for tourists do not think they have to worry about the quality of food as the tourists will be long gone and may never return.However, Jay Jays is a massive contrast to this, and rightly so, they appear to be one of the few restaurants that value your custom.On arrival noticing the high numbers of staff, this is a must for great service, the staff are very attentive and are there for your every need.We waited a reasonable amount of time for food to come to our table from ordering, the menu is extensive so everything has to be cooked from scratch, this ensures that the food will be tasty, hot and appealing. We had dishes ranging from a very fresh crab salad to a pulled pork bap, 5 dishes in all. All food was brought to the table at the same time, this is something that is a must for me.We sat inside and had an amazing view out to sea, was a little blowy outside, inside was clean and spacious.Looking forward to visiting again soon, maybe for Sunday lunch which looks really good.

We ate there last night and the food, cocktails and service were all outstanding. Pamela's provides more than a meal, the whole evening was an occasion and felt very special, a real treat. Lovely to be able to get this quality of food and service in Gt Yarmouth.

Popped in here after a visit to the beach. Only stopped for a pint but the food looked really good too. Staff were all immaculately dressed and very polite and helpful. Clean toilets too. The decor is lovely and wasn't what we were expecting when we went in. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Good quality food in a relaxed dining environment with fantastic views over the harbour.
Reviewed By MartinDNorwich
There are not many decent restaurants in the Great Yarmouth area, but SW1 is quite acceptable if visiting the East Coast of Norfolk. Nothing special, although the staff are very good and the ambience pleasant. Food is above average for the area , so definitely worth a try.My wife and I have been a few times since my original Report in July 2017 and recently visited with two other members of the family. Unfortunately it was not a special experience. Scallops as a starter were well presented and quite tasty, while fish cakes were also very well received. Main courses went down well, but how the cod could be accompanied with Jersey Royals is beyond me. This is October and the 'Royals' finished many weeks ago !!! I would love to know where they came from.My original Report stated there were no Dessert Wines on the limited Wine List and after two years this has still not been rectified. Surely a couple of half bottles could be listed for those who appreciate a glass with the excellent Desserts on offer.We will continue to support SW1, but only because of the lack of superior restaurants in the area.

Found Margoâs whilst visiting Gorleston-on-Sea for a hospital visit with a friend. This place is quirky, staff are very friendly and the scones are the best Iâve tasted. Would highly recommend Margoâs.

Went out with the wife on Saturday night and we fancied a meal so just rocked up here on spec and were told to wait about 15 minutes for a table, no problem, the guy returned a few minutes later and said it would be 20 minutes instead and offered a drink on the house! great service. The meal was brilliant, I had whitebait for starters which was as good as any I've had anywhere, the Hunter's chicken for mains was similarly great. Must mention the guy who served us as he was excellent and it makes such a change from the usual kids on front of house who don't have a clue. Will definitely return! £42 for 2 including drinks and starters.

First visit to the Shed although within our family the chef is known from years back as he catered for a wedding reception! Excellent standard of cooking still. Attentive service. Large choice of fish and excellent chips plus divine in-house made desserts. The surroundings were cosy and ambient. We'll be dining again at the Shed(if we can get get a table as it's so popular)!Thank you very much for a great review. We are all really pleased that you enjoyed your evening with us and it's lovely to know that you intend to return, we very much look forward to seeing you
