Bank House

I have been to this LOVELY place twice. I came back for dinner today after work and I’ve had a cranberry gin mocktail alongside the BEST fish and chips and a delicious affogato as dessert. The service was great and the food amazing and delicious as usual. I would highly recommend it! the location is also fantastic and I can’t wait to come back. Staff was lovely and kind too, very rare in places like London so very pleasant experience. ☺️ Thanks a lot!

This is a review of the restaurant. Staff were very helpful with food allergies, particularly lactose intolerance. Excellent food and very good service. It was a very quiet Sunday eveninf, we really enjoyed the peace and quiet on a summer evening in June. Excellent tour of the property by the manager.

We loved our one night stay in the King's room. It's a large room with character, high ceilings and a huge bay window. We had everything we needed, a good drinks tray, nice toiletries and the room was warm and comfortable. |We slept well and enjoyed our breakfast the next morning, where there was a good selection of hot food, although the cold buffet was limited. We chose a full English and a full veggie breakfast and both were very good. |All the staff we met were very friendly and helpful and made us feel welcome. |The hotel is well located and great value for money.

The room was large airy and very comfortable with a lovely view. Could do with a luggage rack,though. The meal was not so good, hence the four stars. Several items on the menu , wine and food, were not available and the substitutes,especially soup, unsatisfactory. The cod was good but the so-called fish chowder that accompanied it had seen no fish and was basically a white sauce. Having said that my partner's choices were ok.

Came for a date night with the wife , for the first time in about 4 years. We wanted to try something a little different. From people's opinion the bank house used to serve excellent food . On this occasion, not so much. When arrived and got to our table, we wasn't asked if we had any allergies. |I had the fish of the day in seafood chowder . The chowder was clearly microwaved. The fish fillet was so luke warm at best , but edible. I would give it a 6.5 out if ten.|Now to my wife's steak. When ordered the waiter didn't even ask how my wife wanted it cooked and had to came back. When the steak arrived it was as thin as a brasing steak. Pretty poor for a rib eye. However the wife enjoyed the steak. The hand cut chips on the other hand, 3 of the chips were cooked the rest were under cooked. How can that happen with hand cut chips ? We informed the waiter at the end as the chips were left on the plate and all we got was "ill inform the chef " |Now to the desert, the toffee pudding was also clearly microwaved. As it was nuclear in the middle but warm on the out side . |The atmosphere felt like the manger didnt care as he never approached our table to strike a conversation . A good manager will speak with there guest diners. |All in all a unpleasant experience and hate to say it , won't be back , unless the food improves.

Dinner on a Thursday evening but unfortunately the place was very empty. Service was ok, but nothing special. Both chose vegetarian options, which were generously portioned, but a little lacking in seasoning and general flavour. Possibly a poor choice on our part as the only other diners food looked very good. However, the Aflogato was excellent and the espresso was a generous double which meant that you had an accompanying coffee.

Loved this small historic hotel with excellent food and friendly staff Right on the river front with nice outside space Lovely rooms and close to all attractions Easy to park to unload/ load luggage which was great as no private parking . Cheap parking long term at the station less than 10 mins away

Have used many times, service always excellent. 0n the 28th February we had family lunch we found the menu somewhat limit with one main course unavailable. One starter squid was beautiful presented and delicious. Of the four main courses the plaice was again beautiful presented and cooked to perfection and likewise the American Burger. The fish and chips over battered arrived looking like it had been dumped on a plate on top of chunky chips without any care. My own chicken arrived on a plate swapped in gravy and lacked any presentation. Of the three desserts the apple pie was presented to perfection and extremely enjoyable and so was the white chocolate cheese cake. The chocolate brownie was dry and lacked presentation. While we made the occasion enjoyable today dissatisfied with the quality of some menu items.

An impressive hotel restaurant/bar, with a very good menu choice -- not massive, but broad in scope. The service was relaxed, friendly and efficient, and the surroundings are picturesque, sitting as the Hotel does on the Staithe looking out over the Wash. I went here at the same time as Miriam M, and was very pleased with the food quality too. I ended up having scampi and chips, which were well-presented, piping hot and very tasty indeed, along with the focaccia and mezze as a shared starter. The fact that it can deal with a wide range of cuisine very well serves in its favour -- and I certainly intend to go back and investigate the slightly more interesting (and less pub-grub sounding!) parts of the menu in the future!

Lovely location by the River Ouse in a building dating back to the late 1700s which is right opposite the dry dock and custom house. Varied menu from local seafood (the mixed sharing platter is sizeable and was supposedly amazing), through Italian, through traditional British cuisine. A number of vegetarian options to choose from and the wine is well priced. Service non-fussy but attentive. Large outdoor terrace to the rear for smokers or for eating in nice weather. All in all a great dining experience and better than 99% of the restaurants in London that go around claiming to be the nuts!

There was only one weakness. The tea was twinings, and under normal circumstances this would be perfectly acceptable, but for a place as exceptional as this, one of Imperial Teas blends would have been a far better match for the well balanced palate presented by the foods on offer over the course of a leisurely lunch. Starters were foccacia and Mezze, simple, elegantly presented and thoroughly delicious. It was the Gnocchi that got the fifth star sealed. In all my years of eating out I have wanted to like gnocchi. I have wanted to like the fluffy little parcels and their interesting sauces, the fun presentations, but somehow they always, even in a 5* restaurant in Verona, fell shorter than napoleon in a wine press. Not this time. This time the herb sauce delicately touched the taste buds, making the gnocchi feel divine. The cod was crispy, beautifully done and tasting fresh and firm. The dessert menu demanded at least six people so that one could share the delights on offer. The pavlova put to shame every attempt I have tasted in London to emulate the dish. Somehow, tucked in a corner of King's Lynn, there is a gastronomic destination that is putting some of the best eateries in London to shame. It's not the fat duck. It's not innovating in that way. What it is doing is taking the finest ingredients available locally, and serving them in ways that delight the senses. It's just a shame about the tea.
