The Mariner Pub and Bar Reviews

Excellent food lovely outside area with views out to sea lots of seating . Welcomes dogs with bowls available for water.

Only popped in for a quick pint
Sat outside and chilled
Nice seaview

As I didn't have my dog with me my friend and I were able to eat in the restaurant and it was a very pleasant experience, we both enjoyed our food, the staff were very pleasant and the setting perfect. There have been some alterations and a 2nd disabled toilet added since I was last there, most welcome addition

Excellent food, helpful staff good value and lovely views.

Lovely spot and great food. We will be back for sure.

We had a reasonable meal at the Ancient Mariner, but a few things stop it getting 5 stars... there was a queue at the bar with only 1 person serving despite lots of other staff mulling about... seemed a bit lapse in cleaning up tables, More

Nice friendly pub with good views. (I imagine they would be even better in summer on the decking!)

Food was okay, somewhat pricey for what it was, but still tasty.

Standard choices of drink.

Covid standards were good, food was left on the table for us to take ourselves, same goes for the drinks. The waiter looked after us from a social distance.

Today I celebrated my birthday with 11 members of my family at lunch time at the Mariners the food was good and served in 20 mins, the staff were friendly and helpful accommodating such a big group. A good experience.

The service was shocking with staff confused as to if, where & what we could eat, and seemingly unable to pull a pint - one guy had to be rescued by the one seemingly very capable lady who was spread a little to thin. Five meals ordered with one arriving 5 minutes late. The food itself was moderately expensive 'ping food' - a couple of items actually ok, but generally mediocre. However location excellent.

Good food in an excellent position. Limited menu due present restrictions.

Some have said average pub food. The menu might be standard/average but the quality is a step up from most pubs. We had several meals here and all were excellent. Great burgers, really above average Turkey roast, great veggie courses. Teeny bit pricey but no complaints as the quality was very good. We are pretty hard to please when eating out so 5 stars from us is high praise.

Took my parents out for a family meal, we were all impressed by the lovely food and the quick and efficient staff, will definitely recommend

Decent ale. Food ordering abysmal. Stopped taking orders for meals for 20 minutes. Should have taken orders and explained to customers a delay should be expected. Lost our custom as well as other frustrated customers unhappy with arrangement.

Very helpful staff and quick food service. Great burgers too.

Lovely food,quite lively but drinks are are a bit expensive

Used a 50% off voucher and the food was good value with that-not sure I would've been happy to pay full price.Lovely eating in the restaurant which is clean and nicely set out .Would struggle with the service if the place was busy!!

Fair priced pub food. Quick and friendly service. Allowed us to bring our dog inside so even better!

Food is certainly nothing above the very ordinary, however, the service is friendly and polite, beer is well kept, there s loads of room inside and out, and the sea view from the beer garden is the best in Hunstanton by a long way.

Great food, beer, atmosphere and views of the beach and sea from the terrace

Have had some ropey meals here and some that weren't too bad. The place often seems to be run by kids who aren't too sure of what they are doing. Represents reasonable value for money when the discount vouchers are used, I wouldn't be happy paying full price there.

Fantastic location. Sit outside if the weather permits. Good service too.

Great views from patio. Value for money food but menu is holidaymaker based.

Good for a quick bite, lazy lunch or drink outside watching overlooking the sea view.

Food quite good but expensive if you don't have a voucher.

Right next to the beach, lovely on a summers day. Only gets four as they no longer do Aspalls cider or a good alternative. Staff are friendly, covid 19 restrictions are handled well. Dog friendly.

Love this place for quick drink and bar meals. Easy walk from beach carpark.
Great outdoor eating place. Dog friendly too.

Lovely place to eat, great food, great people and dog friendly. Highly recommended.

Always excellent service friendly staff and good selection on menu

An absolute desaster over an hour wait cold and lnedable food, Moore than six couples walked out in two hour period never again

Good efficient service, reasonable prices and extensive menu

Great place for beer or a cup of tea after dog walk on beach

Quick service. Food was nice and accommodated special food requests.

Great views on a nice evening, watching the sun go down with a pint or two!
Good range of beers and a decent selection of food. Food is good, but nothing really outstanding.
One of our favorites in the area, and dog friendly!

Good value for money. We had a 50% voucher having eaten there before. Service a little sluggish. Appeared that they were short staffed. Would return. Food was very good.

Great place for dog lovers,good beer and staff very attentive . Good for social distancing x

Stopped by for lunch whilst walking the beach, lovely surroundings, sat outside with the kids and dog, friendly bar staff, swift service, fresh food, all 4 of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals, burgers, fish and lasagne & our drinks, we will def be back.

Menu needs improving, specials not available, soup and gammon very salty

Great choice, lovely view, friendly and accommodating staff.

Good friendly service. Only had drinks but would reccommend, great views!

Very nice pub...service a bit slow when busy though...but worth the wait...especially as the view of the sea helps the time pass

Lovely place, good food, decent prices and nice staff
Can b busy at times but well worth the wait.
Big thumbs up! We will b back!

Nice and relaxing but wish more choice rather than chips with everything

Very disappointed with our visit today. We have been going here for meals for quite a few years now. The service was extremely slow, even though it was a Monday lunchtime. We expect the slowness in the height of summer but not the middle of March. The bar was unattended quite often also. The steak pie special was of very poor quality as it was hunt the pieces of meat, 4 tiny pieces in a whole pie !!! definitely not "special"

Great food, friendly staff and fabulous location for the beach.

Lovely pub with great service and food. Excellent location stroll to the beach

Good food and not too expensive. Good measures in place regarding covid 19. Staff was friendly.

Enjoyed lunch here with a group of 7. Only 3 stars because service was very slow and we had to ask for drinks several times before they arrived.

Quite basic food during these extraudianry times , limited menu which is understandable but not sure I would be happy paying the full price for this meal

Food was OK and coffee was good. However this was completely let down by poor service. Everything was brought out piecemeal and we had to continuously ask for the missing items. Noone looking after the outdoor area appeared to be in charge and our repeated requests appeared to just be entirely ignored. Following this it took 4 requests to actually get the bill and then pay. Really disappointing.

Good views of the sea and sunsets, good value if you use their 50% vouchers in the local papers. Waitress service in the sunset room or order at the bar (same menu) dogs allowed inside the new conservatory.

Great location on beautiful Old Hunstanton beach. Food average though.

Resturant full so had the bar menu not much to choose from and seemed a bit pricey,Ended up back at out favourite OLD MARINE BAR good simple food and cheap

Excellent wine, nice location. Food substandard Wetherspoon's fayre but three times the cost.

Service poor. Not enough bar staff. Tables were left to be cleared for to long. Had to ask for mine to be wiped. Toilets weren't checked. Only good thing was 50percent off voucher.

Arrived for a BH evening meal, had a misunderstanding which was quickly ironed out by Craig.
Thanks Craig.
Had a great set of meals here and would recommend.

Excellent. Food nice and service quick and friendly. View spectacular

Large chain pub in small village. Pricey and limited food choice. Food quality very average, just about worth the cost with one of their 50% discount vouchers that they spread around local holiday parks. I'd have been very disappointed if I'd paid full menu price.

Dog friendly, close to the beach, generous portions

Good place for drink at the end of day. Food is basic and expensive.

Beautiful place, very expensive but good range of beers and food looks delicious.

Wine quite expensive but I'm used to wetherspoons make sure you have the voucher from the local paper this makes it a bogof offer which is good
