The Unthank Arms Restaurant in Norwich

   Service not with a smile. Had Christmas lunch and the girl looked the least impressed I've ever seen. The food was mediocre, soup starter was more like baby food, roast potatoes were tough and chewy, one of them the fork wouldn't even go through. Measly veg. Anemic pig in floppy blanket. Sausage stuffing that looked more like spam. Christmas pudding was chewy, I don't know how, but it was a struggle to cut through it. Table was nicely decorated at least.

   2nd time here in two weeks, so good the first time we came back a week later. They do a meal deal on a Monday night a bowl of pasta and a glass of wine for £12. Excellent value with the size of the bowl of pasta. The deserts were sublime. The garlic bread was £5 extra, but enough to share between 2. Unfortunately this time I had gnocchi, the other three had spaghetti, and they forgot mine so I had to sit and wait, then when it turned up it was a lot bigger portion than everyone else, so it took a while to eat, and then the second last mouthful had something gritty in it, possibly egg shell, but it felt bigger and thicker than that, so I left the last few, but by then I was already getting full. The lemon tart with raspberry sorbet was very good. Last week they had a roaring log fire going and we thought it was maybe a bit too warm, this week the fire was still glowing when we arrived at 6, but it slowly went out and two different people asked if they could put more logs on and we were told they were not filling it back up, so it gradually got colder, and when we left the fire was out and it was getting on the uncomfy side of cold. Despite any little niggles I'd quite happily come here again. Adnams low alcohol ghostship ~£5, Pasta meal deal £12, garlic bread £5, desert £8.50. Total ~£30.

   Extremely warm and pleasant atmosphere, with good prompt service and delicious food. The sticky toffee pudding was enormous, could absolutely serve 2-3 without feeling short-changed. All food we had was incredible.

   The Unthank Arms is located at 149 Newmarket St, Norwich. The outlook of this restaurant is quite attractive. The seating area is comfortable and feeling warm with real fireplace on Ground Floor. Variety of food is limited, mainly burger is offered. Pumpkin soup is too salty, lacking smell of pumpkin. In fact, it is a bar, most of the customers drink beer.

   The roast dinner was fantastic! The only thing that let it down was the chicken, it was tasteless, no seasoning or herbs on it which was disappointing! But apart from that it was fantastic, the people who had the beef said it was fantastic! Good portion sizes too! Went again and had the pork and it was delightful!! Really good roast!

   Very generous portions, without being silly. Very well cooked meals with carefully chosen high quality ingredients. Thank goodness for puns like the Unthank Arms.

   I had the fish in green curry and it was fine, but not great. Other food was ok too - apparently the chicken burger was a bit dry but the loaded fries with steak were good. Staff were super helpful however.
