About This Pub
Ah, The Terrace—it's one of those places that really captures the essence of a proper British seaside escape, you know? Picture this: you're sitting under a retractable roof with the sea breeze gently wafting in, tucking into some cracking afternoon tea or a hearty dinner, and the staff are all smiles, making sure everything's just right. From what I've gathered from folks who've been, the food's generally a winner, with rave reviews about the views and that welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. It's brilliant for a casual meet-up or even bringing the dog along for a bite. But, to be fair, it's not all perfect—I've heard a couple of tales about initial service hiccups, like wandering around looking for someone when you first arrive, and the odd complaint about things being a bit dry on the food front. Still, with such a solid overall feel and that 4.4 rating buzzing about, I'd say it's worth a visit if you're in Great Yarmouth; just keep expectations balanced, and you'll likely have a lovely time soaking up those coastal vibes.
Pros and Cons

It's a relaxed and cosy spot, perfect for a laid-back catch-up with friends or family, and they even welcome well-behaved dogs, which is brilliant for pet lovers.
-
The retractable roof and outdoor heating mean you can enjoy al fresco dining whatever the weather, adding to that effortless seaside charm.
Cons
-
Service can sometimes be a bit hit or miss, like when you arrive and have to hunt around for someone to show you to your table—it's a shame when it starts off on the wrong foot.
-
A few folks have mentioned the food not always hitting the mark, such as dry scones or afternoon tea items that could do with a bit more freshness.
-
Being part of a hotel, it might feel a tad formal for those after a more casual pub vibe, and the location could be a bit out of the way if you're not staying nearby.

Very good food. Very personable and capable waitress (Tina?). Good table with good views. A fun night. Would definitely go again.
Fantastic friendly staff, nothing was too much trouble. Nice chilled out place
We booked this last minute and just jumped in the car and went - well - what can I say?! The view, the wine, the food and the service - perfection! Highly recommend and we will be back very soon. Thank you!
When we arrived for afternoon tea initially there was nobody around to greet us in the restaurant, we had to walk and find our way around the hotel to find someone to see us. Once seated we ordered our drinks and afternoon tea. It arrived and looked lovely. However everything was so dry and clearly was not fresh. The cakes and scones were so dry and claggy we couldn't eat majority of them and instead wrapped them to go so we could feed the birds and dogs when we got home. (I know that's how bad they were lol) they looked fluffy till you bit into them. They were not made that day, yesterday or the day before judging by the hard, dry and claggy mouthfuls we had.
We did enjoy the coffee, and tho7ght that was the best bit about the afternoon tea.
But Overall we wouldn't come back here again unfortunately.
A lovely place to spend time enjoying seaviews eating good food and sipping great coffee either on your own or with company.
The scones and pot of tea was good but have come here on a few occasions on my own just to enjoy the feeling.
Always nice to return..
