What EssexT likes about Livingstone's:
We recently visited for a family meal whilst visiting family in Kessingland. The majority of us opted for the carvery and not one person was disappointed. All piping hot food with plenty of meat choices cooked to perfection. The choice of veg was unbelievable and all really tasty. Others in the party went fir fish and chips and again commented on the quality of food and size of portions Prices were very reasonable Se... View all feedback. What earldavidw doesn't like about Livingstone's:
I had a disappointing experience at this restaurant. The roast pork Yorkshire I ordered was cold and tough, the Yorkshire pudding was burnt and cold, and the roast potatoes were the only decent part of the meal. The coffee was good, but overall the meal was overpriced at £34.95. My wife's fish meal was hot, but the two-hour wait was unacceptable. I would not recommend dining here. View all feedback.

Nestled in Kessingland, this restaurant offers a mixed bag of dining experiences. While some patrons rave about the exceptional carvery and attentive service, others lament long waits and dishes that fail to impress, like tough roast pork and subpar seafood baskets. Despite the inconsistencies, the establishment benefits from a friendly staff and reasonable prices, making it a popular spot for both casual lunches and lively evenings featuring live music. With highlights such as BBQ ribs and generous portions of fish and chips, many agree that the venue holds potential for a pleasant outing, though improvements are needed for overall consistency.
