Food was really lovely but we waited almost 1.5 hours for our starter to come out and a further 20 mins for our mains. We then had to rush through to make our return train! Waiter was lovely - friendly and professional - but the long wait did rather ruin the experience.

Service by the waiter and waitress was friendly, polite and courteous. Food was hot and tasty. Ambience was busy for January which is a good sign. Will definately return.

This is such a great place to eat. The food is excellent and the service is absolutely brilliant. Location adds to the brilliance. Slightly more ‘snack’ like food at lunchtime would be welcome, but realise this may not fit with restaurant objectives.

Nice pub grub. Young service crew could have been managed better and thus more attentive - lots of chatting whilst trying to get their attention!

The food was really great but would say that the prices on line are wrong example the seafood platter said £15.50 but when igot there the menu said £19.50. Lotof difference . On line prices need to be changed. Lovely restaurant and staff were great. Food very tasty too.

Great staff and good , reasonably priced food. Ambience was ok but we were seated in range of a draft from the open front door. But this was closed promptly when we asked. I suppose somebody has to sit there, but maybe fill other tables first. We don't want to pay cheap prices and be disappointed, so this place is ideal representing good value, well presented food served by staff keen to ensure that we return. We have been visiting here for some years. The Two Lifeboats has always been part of our Sheringham visit, It was great to see it busy and thriving. Customers are voting with their feet.

I felt that £16.50 for 2 slices of cold ham with 2 fried eggs and chips was excessive !! Service was poor and when served a coffee it scolded my mouth it was so hot served with a sml jug of hot milk that I couldn’t pick up unless with a serviette as that too was scolding. I have been in a number of occasion, but unfortunately this last bust was my last .

Booked a table online but arrived early and table was waiting and seated immediately. The guy that greeted us was friendly and fun and went the extra yard by joking with kids and offering to take a family photo for my birthday. Food was great too. Not the first time been there but already looking forward to our next visit.

I had a very chilled dining experience at The Two Lifeboats! As a person dining alone, it can be a bit "hit and miss" however, I was pleasantly surprised, and felt very comfortable at my table. Your "front of house" waiter was very welcoming. I had an aperitif while waiting for the main course, and had requested to try the guest ale with the main course. For whatever reason, the guest ale didn't appear, so I requested a glass of wine to accompany the food. I did have to ask two different waiters for the glass of wine. That is not a criticism. Overall, I had a lovely evening at a superb location, and so close to the sea! A fabulous draw!

We both had Lasagne. It came with a side salad and garlic bread. The lasagne was piping hot and very tasty.. the salad was of good quality and was fresh and of good quality. Not your usual salad dished up by some eateries. Service was prompt and friendly. Would recommend this restaurant.

Always enjoy going to the lifeboats. Staff are friendly and helpful. I have dogs and there is never a problem. I take children and they always love it. Love the sea bass, it really is the best.

Another really nice visit, this time with guests who had not been before. As ever, good, fresh food, attentive service and a lovely view of the sea. The Lifeboat Burger is HUGE and even defeated a bottomless teen!

We arrived in plenty of time and did look forward to the Barnsley chop that we had seen on line and on a menu outside the pub,on looking at the menu inside the pub we found the price was 24.95 not the 19.50 as.advertised,.this.was extremely disappointing and we spoke to a member of staff,he passed our concerns on but no one came over to explain, we paid for our drink and left.

Family of 10 out for a meal for my Mums 70th Birthday. We had a really lovely meal. Very attentive manager who seated us and made sure we had everything we needed at the table. The setting is stunning right on the sea edge and full of rustic charm. I had a delicious Cajun burger from the specials. Others had a seafood platter and my Mum had Sea bream from the specials which she really enjoyed. Kids meals a really decent size. We will be back.

I’m working locally on and off and stay in Sheringham when here. This is my third trip and I’ve eaten a few time at The Two Lifeboats. Every time the food is well presented and of good quality, the staff are attentive but not overly and the place feels calm and quiet, even in August. It seems that I have an increasing job list in West Runton so I shall be back often
