The space rambles a bit, with a newer extension in the back, but if you can, try to sit in the original front rooms. They're much cozier, with low beams and a crackling fire. We decided to skip the roast and explore the rest of the menu. I had planned to order the Scotch egg, but the Norfolk White Lady choux caught my eye. Despite the server gently steering me toward the Scotch egg, I went with the unfamiliar option. She was right -- while the pastry was fine, the filling was a bit cloying, and I didn't finish it. But then came redemption: the fish and chips. All four of us actually gasped when the plates arrived. I've never seen a portion like it -- a perfectly battered, beautifully fried fillet stretching well beyond the plate, served with a side of salt-and-vinegar "scraps," which were new to me and absolutely addictive. The curry sauce was outstanding. And I didn't have to worry about finishing it; everyone at the table was more than happy to jump in.

My wife and I have been coming here for nearly three years now and the food is still the best around.

We spent a long weekend in Norfolk and were looking for a local place to have a nice evening meal…read more Whilst out we found a leaflet for the King William iv so decided to visit. Thankfully I called to book ahead as we got the last reservation for the evening. Having now eaten here I can understand why as it's very popular and with good reason. The menu is fairly extensive and includes lots of local produce from seafood to meats and game. The selection was so great it took us same time to decide what we were going to have. Everything ordered came exactly as we had asked and the food was wonderful. I could say that my starter mushrooms in garlic butter was a bit too generous but for the price it was excellent value. There are a number of different seating areas in the King William IV. It's obviously grown to meet demand. We had a fantastic evening, the staff were very attentive (yet not overbearing in any way). The Manager made it his job to ensure everyone was happy with their food and the service which added a nice personal touch. If we visit this part of the UK in the future we will definitely have another meal the the King William IV

You could walk into the Marine Bar and be understandably perturbed by what confronts you. 70's carpet, DIY bar, school dinner food, rickety furniture. But something about the place has an enduring attraction to locals and visitors alike. It's intangible. Maybe it's the darkness, the bar set as it is below ground level. Maybe it's the friendly welcome. Maybe it's the chuddy decoration - old ale posters which sell beer by telling you it will get you pissed -those were the days. Or the warm cosy feel of the place. Maybe it's just that you're most likely on a short break, somewhat relaxed and have finally found somewhere in Hunstanton with a bit of life. Whatever it is, it adds up to 'vibe' or buzz'. It's the sort of place you could quite happily hunker down in and spend the evening people watching and drinking yourself into a merry old state and still having change at the end of it for one more bag of Scampi Fries. Smart this place isn't. Good old fashioned fun it certainly is. Leave your pretentions at the door with the raincoat and order a Babycham from the camp as Christmas bar staff. It's gonna be a good night.
