   The place was magnificent, service was top notch, the steak was the best cooked, most flavourful steak I have ever eaten. Excellent chef and waiting staff.

    Beings I’d booked for my Birthday some weeks ago I didn’t expect our table to be right next to open door leading onto pavement therefore I asked to be moved and anther table was found but i felt more like a last minute booking ! I had mentioned it was a Birthday event but that was forgotten, I have a feeling they were short staffed due to illness but my meal was still the usual high standard and affordability.

    Our first time back to Byfords for a few years and we were really impressed. We were given a lovely quiet table tucked away and it was great to find there's a separate veggie/vegan menu. Food was delicious and a special mention for Ellie who served us and was super friendly and helpful and went away to find some vegan desserts - the raspberry sorbet and chocolate cake were divine! The icing on the cake was watching the swifts as we left and seeing them nesting in the roof. Thank you Byfords we'll definitely be back - our first visit was 22 years ago when our daughter was a baby!

    We booked afternoon tea for two at 2.30 at Byfords so they were expecting us. Our table was saved for us. It took about 15 mins until a waitress came to ask for our drinks.She was very pleasant and smiley.But it took nearly half hour to get our pots of tea.l was about to get up and go to the counter by then then l saw a waitress come over with them. Shortly the afternoon tea came.By then we waited about 45 mins to start eating.The waitress was very pleasant and told us the fillings and asked us for top up on drinks.We was even able to offer us another plate of sandwiches.Nicely presented but the egg mayo was a bit tasteless. Asking for the bill was another long wait.Our original waitress must of gone on a break and we had to ask twice.Luckily we had free parking so was in no hurry. Unfortunately we will go elsewhere for afternoon tea next time.

    We were three (demi-) vegetarians and one meat eater, all having different dishes and all delicious. The portions were ample and all were very tasty. It was early on a Thursday evening and we were able to eat outside in the sun. Brilliant

    Disappointed with the afternoon tea, though I will say the other food looked lovely from what I could see. We were asked if we had any dietary requirements when we arrived so told them about these, and also stated a preference for no seafood. We were told that they could not take preferences into account as the food was all pre-made. Anyway, once the food came out it became apparent that the sandwiches we couldn't have due to dietary requirements had been taken out and substituted for additional seafood!!! So not only were our preferences not taken into account at all, but we were given extra of something we explicitly asked not to have. I appreciate that the sandwiches come pre-made, this isn't an issue. I just wish they would have been more accommodating with our requests and substituted the sandwiches for one of the other two fillings on offer. We're paying customers so why should we have to pay for food we've already said we don't like, especially when there are other alternatives available? :( I had a debate with the waitress about this, and whilst she was polite, I don't think she was particularly accommodating or understanding, or really got the point I was trying to make.

    Byfords is a lovely restaurant with great character. The waitresses were all lovely and friendly , couldn’t fault them one little bit. Food was lovely too and the dessert we had was to die for. Holt is a beautiful village and Byfords is at the centre of it . Great meal

    We had a lovely meal, however a drink that was ordered just before the main course was forgotten and when we asked to see the desert menu we didn’t see our waitress again to order anything, I think we were missed or forgotten so asked the very helpful waiter for the bill and left - a shame as it all started so well.

    We had 3 high tea afternoon teas! Unfortunately this time it didn’t cut it, sandwiches very plain and some dry. I saw pictures on Facebook of the high tea the day afterwards and ours didn’t look like that. Cakes very disappointing. For the money it should have been much better quality. Stated on the booking it was a birthday and nothing was said, just very disappointing! Won’t be rushing back, such a shame!

    We went as a family for a special occasion using a gift voucher. We had such a lovely time. The waitress was so delightful - giving us lots of helpful information and making us feel very special. We all enjoyed plenty of savoury goodies and sandwiches and gorgeous scones and cakes. We were provided with a box to take home what we couldn’t finish. Very nice afternoon - thank you

    Great value for money, food was fantastic and quick. Service was very good, friendly team. Only criticism would be your a bit close to other dinners, not much privacy. However this will not stop us returning again soon. Thank you Byfords,
