Upchers At The Dales Country House

Visited this restaurant for a celebratory birthday dinner, wish we hadn 't bothered. Firstly, I must say that the front of house staff could not be faulted, attentive, professional which built our hopes up for a super evening, and it was until the food arrived. I had the Norfolk fillet steak, medium rare, absolutely terrible. I have never had a fillet that had that much grizzle and fat in it, awful and my wife 's pheasant was so tough it was probably some old road kill they had found. As for the vegetables, basically a pile of veg taken from one pan and dumped on the plate, no finesse or presentation skills whatsoever. To top it all my wife 's dish arrived a lot later than mine and my daughters, the reason we were told was 'sorry for delay but the chef caught his glove alight on the cooker ', what an absolute joke. This establishment really needs to employ some decent chef 's and quickly. Did complain about it and they reduced our meals by a third, they obviously need the money. My advice, look somewhere else but not The Links in West Runton or The Seamarge in Overstrand, all owned by the same people so I guess the 'quality ' would be the same as well. AVOID!!!!

Of 8 Christmas meals we have had this year it was the 3 amateur venues (not a criticism, its not the main focus of their business) that have outscored the professional kitchens who, largely, don 't seem to have got their act together since covid. So where does The Dales stand ?..............it was above average as usual and as expected but the food seemed to be rather lacking in seasoning and there was a significant lack of variety in the veg. If you didn 't like sprouts then it was bad luck since there was nowt else........no carrots, no red cabbage, no parsnips, no other root or green veg and that was disappointing. The price, however, represented good value for money

We visited Upchers Restaurant at the Dales Hotel for dinner to celebrate our wedding anniversary while staying in Norfolk. The staff made us feel really welcome and we enjoyed a delicious dinner. Special mention for the “Bang Bang Cauliflower Wings” an amazing taste experience! We would happily recommend the Upchers Restaurant for great food and a relaxed atmosphere.

This is a delightful, friendly place to eat and the service is helpful and good. The food is reliable and tastes delicious, but they could do with a little variety in the menu. It is usually the same, which though a good choice, can become a bit predictable.
