Gryffen's Bistro

Nearly always go here for breakfast when in town early, good food and coffee with friendly obliging staff

Very tasty food, beautifully presented. Staff very helpful and pleasant. Prices same as would be elsewhere.

A nice little Restaurant within the Dukes Head Hotel. Fast friendly service. The set menu is well priced at £18 for two courses and £25 for three. This menu offers a choice of three mains which includes a vegetarian option. Similar options for starter and desert. Good solid food in the lovely atmosphere of this old hotel. A different dining experience is on offer in Turners Restaurant. More up-market/more expensive.No complaints in Gryffens and would visit again if in the area.

Mothers Day Carvery.Delicious food great service. We booked a table for Mothers Day, great welcome and we even had our name reserved on our table, which my girls loved.Prawn Cocktail was a delight, my fussy 6 year old was even accommodated with her request of a plain salad (which was not on the menu)Great selection at the Carvery, the chef was extremely friendly and greeted us well.Just about managed to squeeze in the Cheesecake for pud !Maybe a little pricey £50 for 1 adult 2 children. But very happy with our visit so would probably go again.

The Gryffens Restaurant at the Duke's Head: Let’s be clear there are no complaints about food quality, service, ambiance, comfort. It’s probably one of the best places to go for lunch in Kings Lynn. However someone at the hotel is determined to bring shame on it. Since the New Year, we have eaten there twice. Since our previous visits it has been refurbished and there have been some price changes on the meals roughly a pound on each meal but inexplicably Fish and Chips has jumped by about five pounds (except Fridays). Now here’s the shaming bit. We've made two visits since the New Year. First visit gone were the small dishes of decent quality ketchup and mayonnaise that had always been provided on request. In their place was a selection of sachets but what sachets – the cheapest nastiest condiments you could ever hope to eat. When I rejected these the waitress went and found the proper stuff in the kitchen good on her. Second Visit – before eating there I popped into a cheap store and bought a pound bottle of Heinz Ketchup and a pound bottle of Heinz mayonnaise which I used when proffered the same muck as before. Whoever decided to buy this product should reconsider. And if they won’t the management should make them! Almost all outlets offer edible stuff whether in bottles or sachets so why can't Gryffens?
