After reading some recent negative reviews we were a bit apprehensive, but we had a lovely experience and the food was great. The mainly young staff were attentive and courteous and our group of 8, plus a baby were all pleased with our meals. The steak was cooked perfectly, veg burger and tofu halloumi style salad were very tasty. The coffee and chocolate brownie was huge, with large chunks of fudge and really tasty...enough to share between two. All food was hot, well presented and all adequate portion sizes and reasonable value for money. As an added bonus, there was live music and BBQ, with a mini beer festival in the large garden and the pub was lively, but relaxed and very welcoming. The building itself is attractive and welcoming. The ladies loos weren't plush, but clean and adequate. I'd definitely recommend visiting and seeing for yourself, rather than taking too much notice of negative reviews. Any restaurant can have an off day, but we eat out weekly and this pub was certainly one we would visit again.

OK food and service. Pricey for what it was. Pie and chips: Nice chicken pie, but hard dry chips. Liver and Bacon: great liver, local too. The bacon appeared mostly not local, as in only a little bit of the promised bacon seemed to have reached the plate. Did taste nice. Perhaps felt a tenner too much overall for what we got. Might visit if in the area again, but would try other places 1st.

One of the best meals we have had locally in a Norwich for a very long while. I had Liver & Bacon which was nothing short of incredible. My wife had the Chicken Keiv which she said was amazing. Service excellent too

I got a cheeky burger and fries from this absolutely jaw dropping pub of whom contains mightily friendly staff. Well cleaned bathrooms and drinks came quick and fast. I will be recommending this to all of my friends if they happen to be in the predicament of needing food in the area. Overall 10/10 I would give 15/10 if I could LOL.

Sat a table for 2 at 1.10pm. Ordered 2 drinks no problems. Waited so long for our order to be taken I had to stop a staff member and ask “ can someone please take our order please”. 5 mins later our order was taken. Then we waited and waited waited to the point it got ridiculous. We sat down at 1.10 at 2.10 we were still waiting for food so decided that the service was appalling and left. The pub wasn’t even rushed off its feet to warrant the sub standard service. We offered to pay for drinks but the manager waived the cost.
