Marriotts Warehouse – King’s Lynn

We went 2 weeks ago for some lunch tapas and they were really good, with the service being really attentive and friendly. Naturally, we wanted to come back for dinner expecting the same quality of food and service. Unfortunately, neither was repeated. The fish platter was basically a tapas selection - which is fine, but should be named as such. Quality and quantity was fine, but nothing exceptional. The real let down was the seafood crumble - as shown on the picture, the potatoes and fish were drowned in sauce and swimming in oil. The crumble part was forgotten altogether with the excuse of the kitchen being "really busy" - which to me, is an absolutely poor excuse. Also, "seasonal veg" in July to me isn't necessarily broccoli and carrot, but I would've overlooked it if it were actually nicely seasoned instead of boiled without any taste. Might come back during lunch hours again since I did have a pleasant experience then, but definitely not for a nice dinner.

Great experience, lovely atmosphere and fantastic food. The staff are really nice and friendly and the food was amazing. Would highly recommend and can’t wait to revisit.

We walked in to get out of the rain for a spontaneous late lunch early dinner. Was greeted and seated quickly Such a lovely restaurant with a calm relaxed atmosphere. Staff were attentive and friendly Great varied selection of food and was delicious 😋

Love this place, if you want to enjoy a coffee or a meal by yourself or with company somewhere with more history than you can shake a stick at, this is your place. It's very welcoming with fabulous service. I had a quiet evening coffee upstairs on a comfortable sofa. I've not eaten here for some time. There's plenty of outdoor seating for you to enjoy. The facilities are very good and well kept. With a lift to the upper floor where facilities include an accessible toilet. I was able to enjoy the view across the River Great Ouse to West Lynn. It's a great way to watch the spectacular sunsets here. Marriott's Warehouse Trust cares for the historic warehouse and models of King's Lynn's heritage buildings, carefully crafted by Fred Hall and on permanent display on the 2nd Floor. "The building known today as Marriott's Warehouse dates from the 1580s and is Grade II* Listed. The name is taken from the Marriott brothers, who owned or leased several granaries on the South Quay in the latter part of the 19th century. Between 1550 and 1700 most of the warehouses along the Ouse bank were rebuilt in brick, but Marriott's Warehouse retained a lower storey in stone, possibly from the dissolved Friaries. It was an important warehouse for trade in salt, beer, wine and building materials. Ships would dock inside to unload cargo, its stone lower storey protecting against the tides as it stood out into the Wash, long before the quayside was built up around it."

Their reputation precedes them. Generous portions. Diligent service. As a curiosity, paintings by Ali Atrissi were on display and available for purchase at the time of my visit.
