HMS Hinchinbrook great Yarmouth

Ah, HMS Hinchinbrook – it's one of those places in Great Yarmouth that you hear about from mates who swear by its seaside charm. From what I've gathered from the reviews, it's got this lovely vibe right on the beach, making it ideal for a casual bite after a stroll along the promenade. The food's generally well-received, with plenty of praise for the hearty portions and good value – think massive servings of fish and chips that leave you stuffed for a fair price. The staff come across as genuinely welcoming, which really adds to the atmosphere, and even on busier days like bank holidays, they manage to keep things moving smoothly. On the flip side, it's not all plain sailing; a few have mentioned the flavours being a bit underwhelming, like the fish lacking that fresh zing or dishes turning out bland. Then there's the odd grumble about things not being piping hot, such as lukewarm chips, and some feeling the portions aren't quite as generous as advertised. Overall, with a strong average rating of 4.4, it's clear this place has a lot going for it, but it's worth going in with realistic expectations – especially if you're after something a bit more exciting on the taste front. If you're heading to Great Yarmouth, it'd be a shame to miss it, but maybe check if it's open first, as that seems a bit up in the air right now. All in all, it's a friendly spot that does the basics well, perfect for a no-fuss meal with friends.
