all the small plates were very tasty and very different and inventive at a very reasonable price. The wine selection was also well balanced. The service was excellent and knowledgeable. It was great to see the chefs preparing the food and also trying out new recipes. A lovely modern building without being too stark
My husband and I enjoyed a weekend away to Burnham Market, Norfolk to celebrate our wedding anniversary and pre booked our Saturday evening meal at Socius. We are serious foodies and were hoping to sample the local produce so felt a tapas style meal would give us the opportunity to taste as many flavours as possible - we were not disappointed. From the minute we entered the restaurant, the level of warm hospitality was exceptional and as we walked passed the open plan kitchen, the energy although calm was equally electric - we were excited. We were greeted by Natalie (co owner) who spoke us through the concept of the menu and were swiftly served a delicious cocktail and an ice cold beer while we chose our food selection. The menu changes daily in accordance with ingredients availability, so although we had peeked at the menu online, the selection had altered slightly. We chose a selection of dishes to include local cheeses, fresh fish, a selection of vegetables and an ‘aged rump beef to share’ main (making sure to leave some space for desert). The dishes arrived one by one, each brought by a different member of staff equally as pleasant as the previous. The beautiful presentation of each dish added the ‘pretty food’ aspect to food so fresh it almost jumped off the plate - but that wasn’t the ace card.... each dish had an element of surprise that can only be described as genius. The grapes with the cured sea bass were frozen cleansing the palette of any fish remnants, there were pockets of melted goats cheese in our orzo and butternut squash, the lamb was both crispy and tender accompanied by a mysteriously delicious white sauce and hints of fresh herbs and the beef was accompanied with perfect miniature beef cheek croquettes and gerkin ketchup. I very nearly left without a desert (don’t be fooled by the term small plates, the portions are very generous), but I could not resist the lemon meringue pie. Thank goodness I gave into temptation as it had the best surprise of all, aside from the perfect crisp pastry, smooth lemon curd and creamy sweet Italian meringue topping, as I reached the centre I found a blob of apple and basil sorbet that complemented the flavours perfectly. We were finally presented with the pleasantly reasonable bill by Natalie’s mother who was absolutely charming, when I asked why service charge was not included she replied it was rude to ask! I recommend that anyone visiting Norfolk pays a visit to this newly established restaurant. We would happily do the 5 hour round trip to enjoy another meal at this innovative, exciting, fine dining experience and can only hope a chain appears in London soon.
My friend won this voucher for a meal in a draw and all I can say is it is amazing x we will be going back with more family and friends , so friendly and food was amazing .. it’s our favourite Sunday roast ,
Our fourth visit to this establishment and yet again the food and service succeed the last. These guys are just too good and know exactly how to run a hospitality business. Hats off to the whole team, you’re absolutely smashing it!
Seriously cannot recommend this restaurant enough. We’ve been so many times now and every time we go it gets better and better. Each time I think the food can’t top the time before and somehow it does - Dan and his team are wizards!! This time stand out dishes were the most incredible cauliflower dish which was lightly spiced and curried, their cured salmon which is to die for always, beef ribs which were the most succulent delicious flavoursome things we can’t stop talking about!!! The service is always incredible led by the wonderful Natalie and the staff are charming and attentive without being intrusive. They had two large parties in whilst we were there and the whole team worked effortlessly to ensure everyone was having a good evening. Thank you team Socius, I’m already looking forward to my next visit!
This was around our tenth visit to Socius and previously we have raved about it, scoring it 5 stars and recommending it to anyone who will listen. It failed to live up to its previous high standards in almost all respects. There were some dishes that didn’t work for us - cauliflower, hake arancini - and many that were good but not great. The focaccia has never been as good as the first time - lack of salt and rosemary on the top. Other than the head waitress, the staff were brusk. Our main course plates were cleared before we could have ordered more dishes, we were rushed to order our main courses in one go because a couple of large parties were due to arrive, the Waitress who gave us the bill and took the payment was clearly having a bad day. We didn’t tip in full. The staff seemed keen to clean up and get home. There were a couple of large parties that were very noisy. The restaurant could do with some some furnishings to absorb some of the back ground noise.
We booked Socius for a Valentines Meal. It was a set meal and served to all diners at the same time. All courses were delicious and the service was second to none. Certainly a place we would recommend.
This is without doubt a very popular restaurant. Visited on a Sunday and it was packed. Welcomed and shown to our table. A short pause and drinks were ordered and arrived within minutes. The menu is brief which is usually a good sign. It all looks interesting and appetising. We did n’t have starters. The mains arrived . They were luke warm to begin with but by the time the vegetables arrived they were cold. The aged roast beef was disappointing. Sliced very thin and not a lot of it. Served swimming in gravy with a small portion of roast potatoes and a yorkshire pudding which had lost all crispness and was soggy. I did mention this to a member of staff . The roasted cauliflower is a nice idea but needs to be perfectly executed. This wasn’t. The brill on the other hand was very well done. The combination of large succulent mussels and the delicate brill worked. The vegetables served “family style” are for a family with very small appetites. One dessert arrived but a long wait for the second. Desserts were good. The chocolate bar was excellent, rich and full of flavour , but barely two mouthfuls. I thought nouvelle cuisine had gone. Perhaps its popularity is the problem.
I don’t even know where to start.....the service, the food, the ambiance, the attention to detail! This restaurant truly stands out from the crowd! We sat at the ‘kitchen table’ and were able to watch the kitchen in motion, we both enjoyed this immensely. This also gave us a birds eye view of the desserts being made by George, which were fabulous! I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough, the only downside, I don’t live nearer! Thank you Socious!
Came here with my wife for a Valentines Day lunch.We had the prawns and Focaccia to start us off with a cocktail and a beer. We then had seven other dishes and shared a chocolate dessert along with another drink each. Everything we had was absolutely delicious and the service was second to none. Polite staff and a good amount of time between dishes with EVERYTHING served either crisp and cold or piping hot as it should be. Total bill was £94 which for all the food and the quality of the ingredients was worth every penny. The owners of this restaurant have got it absolutely right and should be congratulated with understanding what people want and expect. Beautiful smart place but not pretentious at all. Only gripe was paying for car park but that's nothing to do with the restaurant. And as if the day couldn't get any better had a lovely walk around Burnham Market and picked up three Jack Wills jumpers for £20 each in the sale!
An amazing place. The menu is designed around sharing dishes, and though we each chose food the other would not normally like we both loved everything. The olives lead the mushroom dish and are gorgeous, the butternut squash was rich and sweet. Toasted soldiers accompanied boiled egg served on a bed of hay. Please eat the hay, which is fried, shredded leak which I would have scoffed on its own all night. The monkfish is so lightly battered it’s unbelievable, the chips are lovely but I was too full. Not too full to miss dessert though. The rhubarb was just my thing, though my wife’s peanut butter and jelly sandwich was not. She liked it. Excellent service from Rob, our waiter and really good value. Planning another visit already.
We spent a week in Burnham Market. We had two meals at the other restaurants which were ok and what you would expect . However Socius was very good indeed. The menu was interesting and varied. it is a tapas principle but the food is not Spanish. 'We had a combination of meat and vegetarian and every course was extremely good. We sat downstairs and the restaurant was full but surprisingly not noisy so you could hear yourself speak. The staff (all young - i am old!!) were also well trained and efficient as well as very pleasant. One of the best meals we have had for a very long time. it was not expensive.
Best tapas food I have ever had. Great place for sharing food. Amazing service. Friendly staff. Definitely recommend it to everyone
Recently went to celebrate a birthday. Expecting the routine. This was refreshingly different. The food was absolutely superb. Some of the dishes were exquisite. There is a lovely atmosphere. The staff are friendly and efficient without being intrusive. Many thanks to Rob (staff) who made our evening. We enjoyed candlegate!
Although open for a year we had not found Socius before. Both the food and service were excellent. A young couple running a top notch Restuarant. Dan’s cooking is spot on. Interesting and innovative.
I've been here a few times over the last 9 months and every single time the experience has become better and better. Originally they didn't really have enough staff to cover a busy shift, but the staff they did have went out of their way to help. I went back last Saturday with my partner (back on holiday in Norfolk) and not only do they have more than enough staff (I counted 5 waiting staff for about 12 tables) the food was even better than last time. The duck is amazing. The burrata never fails to impress. The chips are fantastic. The deserts are incredible (the chocolate bar in particular!). If I lived near Socius I would be in there at least once a week; reasonably priced and exquisite food. Whilst No.29 is fine, and the Hoaste is decent...Socius has a unique charm - it's nice without being pretentious, the food is excellent without being over-priced, the staff are polite without giving the impression of only wanting a tip. There is nothing to not love about Socius.
The foods at Socius is excellent, fresh ingredients, imaginative and well cooked. We been a fair number of times since Socius opened and we are very lucky to have it in Burnham Market. I have two issues ( they won’t stop us returning of course) Firstly, definitely best to be seated down stairs - upstairs can be quite noisy when the place is full (it usually is). Secondly, although the menu is interesting and varied (and they do have regular theme evenings with special menus, which are great), the basic menu never seems to change at all. Having said these two little things, Socius is a great place to eat.
We were visiting friends and they took us here for lunch. We had four children with us ranging from 5-13yrs and the menu was very accommodating for them. The food was delicious. We had a range of the tapas and they were all full of flavour and so tasty. We would definitely visit again if we are ever passing that way.
A memorable anniversary celebration with dishes that were off the scale in flavour. Just outstanding.
