Visited with a client for a quick meal and ended up at a Praise the Pig event which was absolutely fantastic. The overall presentation and ambience of the restaurant was superb and the hosts and their staff made us feel extremely welcome; including spending time with us to chat at various times throughout the evening. Based on this, albeit one... More

The welcome was warm and friendly. The menu covered all the bases and when the food arrived it was beautifully presented and cooked. We had a lovely evening. The only criticism is that the starter arrived before we had finished our G&T's and the service although impeccably done was a bit rushed. Maybe they had a second sitting arriving for... More

Visited many times and really impressed with food quality and friendly service. The chef sources local produce before transforming it into memorable meals, both in taste and presentaion. Definitely our favourite restaurant, particularly for special occasions.

Visited for the first time last Friday evening and after all the reviews had pretty high expectations and they were certainly met! Very happy to find a place like this in King's Lynn! First thing you will notice is the decor of the place which is modern and smart, but still welcoming and warm. Next up you are greeted by... More

This was the first time we had dined at this restaurant with friends, the service and food were all very good, we had just a few niggles, my friends wife decided to have the ham hock starter with toast, the toast was so hard she had to leave it as it nearly broke her tooth. Also perhaps the water jug... More

We really enjoyed everything we chose from the varied menu. It was beautifully presented and served promptly and with good explanations and ready answers to our questions. The goats cheese and beetroot starter was inspired - really delicious. And the chocolate delice - well I am glad I shared it as it was so rich and unctuous - not to... More

Food was exquisitely tasteful but small portions, very 'nouveau cuisine'. There could have been more variety on the menu, pork in various forms featured heavily. Our visit was unfortunately marred by a very loud party sitting near us but the owners were vere apologetic.

We visited Market Bistro to celebrate our Anniversary on 13th April 2013. This was our first visit on recommendation and we were not disappointed. The food was excellent, service superb and the ambience just right. add to this a very reasonable cost and we all enjoyed a great evening. Will be back again soon.
