This was one of many places we stopped to have lunch during our stay in Norfolk. We chose it because we knew it was dog-friendly and was in the area we were visiting that day. The food was very good and we were pleased we went. The female staff were friendlier than the male staff but this is why I... More

My partner and I stayed overnight during a weekend trip to Norfolk. The staff were welcoming, the room was a good size and clean. The bed was comfortable, and the little personal touches were much appreciated (sweeties by the bed!) The night we stayed was the night of the European Cup Final so the pub was quite busy, that said,... More

We are regular visitors for lunch in the holidays as the fish and chips is especially good. However,on this occasion the service was truly abysmal and i honestly don't think one of the barpersons smiled a greeting or acknowledgement once, something i was always trained was a must in the bar trade! We asked if they had sausages for our... More

Had dinner in the restaurant with friends. Not great with overtired staff who didn't have the energy to give any kind of service. The food was bland and just not up to expectations. Great venue that needs somebody to take an interest. More

If I were to rate this vs all other hotels etc - I'd give it a 3 out of 5, but It didn't feel right because it's a great pub to stay at. So in the context of pub accommodation it definitely gets a 4. The pub is on a gorgeous square and has lots of seating option indoors (the... More

I was part of a large group of friends who had organised a reunion for Saturday 24th march 2012. The management were aware that we had all arranged to meet at their pub and had organised extra staff to cover this. So that we could all be together we went through to the back bar as it is much larger... More

Booked a stay at The Globe for my partner's 50th birthday but came away disappointed. We received a very warm welcome, our room was nice and clean and the breakfast choices very good .However, sleep was difficult to get due to the gathering of what sounded like the "Wells Massive" outside the pub on both nights of our stay. Yelling... More

Thank you for providing us with some valuable feedback. Having had such a great welcome, it is a shame that the 'Wells Massive' spoiled what should have continued to be an enjoyable stay. We hope this does not put you off coming again. More

Never eaten at the globe although been to wells many many times before, service was excellent from barman who got us a large table on a busy weekend lunchtime. Had to wait a while for the food but when it came it was very much worth it. All in all a good lunchtime experience and will return in the future More

We arrived quite late on Friday evening and the staff couldn't do enough to help! Was a great base to branch out along the beautiful north Norfolk coast. The food was lovely and breakfast was FAB.

A charming building in a smart square just away from the hustle and bustle of the High Street and quay. Worn wooden bar and big bay windows give a warm airy feel to the bar but the wide, narrow space is a bit lacking in atmosphere - though it was a weekday lunchtime in November. The background music - an... More

Thank you for your feedback regarding your visit to the Globe. Obviously we are delighted to hear that overall you enjoyed your experience, however I am sorry that on this occasion your fish and chips were not as they should have been. We have, of course, passed your comments on to the team and hope to see you again. More
