Charlie’s - North Norfolk

Popped in for quick refresh and found had changed hands since last visit. Generous pot of tea and decent coffee, but better were homemade cakes, freshly made large scones; brownies and ginger cake on display. … was end of day, assume rest had all been eaten and sold. Reasonable prices for Holt !

Starter and main £12,excellent we thought,we chose vegetable soup nice)then we both chose roast beef,well not what I was hoping for,I think the only things that had been prepared were the carrots and potatoes not proper ones) the yorkshires not homemade,beans,peas were not fresh)and stuffing not homemade, the beef was wafer thin,not from a joint cooked on premises,gravy was OK, waitress was friendly asked all the right questions,the chef was rooted to the spot in the kitchen,so it was obvious these meals were not being prepared only heated. Poor.

Meaty sausage roll followed huge tasty scone, jam and cream .. delicious .. really enjoyed our snack ! after beach walk at Weybourne

This used to be one of the best restaurants in holt Lovely food , good menu and professional and friendly staff so was so disappointed to find that it is now run by unprofessional untrained staff Food is awful, waited over an hr to be served and choice limited Tables dirty and sticky plus only one shared toilet in use which was extremely dirty and unpleasant

Be warned, Charlie's is now under new management and the service is non-existent. My group, along with several others, waited almost an hour for our food. We were initially told it would be ready in 15 minutes after ordering and paying up front. After 30 minutes, we were then informed it would be another 15 minutes, only to be told that our order was only halfway done. These turned out to be lies, as we were eventually told that they could not fulfill our order. We then had to wait in line for our refunds. I hope that the refund will be credited to my card, as even this process was not conventional. The new owners are untrained and ill-prepared to run a business, which is a shame because it used to be a nice little cafe.
