The Red Lion Bishopgate Bar, Pub in Norwich

Reviews

   Been to the Red Lion for the first time last month and then returned a couple of weeks later. The first time we both had roast dinners and it was really lovely. Would highly recommend. The 2nd time was a mixture of roasts and main menu. The food is lovely however, I would say for the roast dinner that only 2 roasties seems a bit tight haha. Desserts were tasty but personally, I think, overpriced. £9 for a chocolate mousse is pretty steep and will definitely put us off ordering a dessert next time. However overall really yummy food and cant fault the service in general Would definitely recommend it to anyone in the area.

   Great service, friendly staff, and a good range of beers. The decor and vibe were really nice, making it a pleasant place to relax. Unfortunately, the kitchen was closed for hot food, which was disappointing as I’d specifically been recommended this place for its food, while working & staying inn the area

   Can't get enough. Been numerous times since it reopened and is a real crowd pleaser. With car parking, attentive staff and a well thought-out menu. Great place for some afternoon food and drink by the river.

   A lovely delightful lunch we had on a weekend. The outdoor seats are all fully booked. We had a table in the conservatory area by the window which was a little warm. Service was prompt and attentive. We had the steak and battered haddock and chips. Both taste fantastic. Really love the food and would love to come back for another visit. Highly recommended.

   Lovely setting by the river, pleasant staff, quick service however we ordered fish, chips and mushy peas, peas were stone cold and the fish had a translucent bits that looked as though it was under cooked, huge chunky chips were lovely. Also ordered the crab burger, very tasty, lots of french fries, a bit of salad would have been good and it would have looked better presented. Lovely burger though.

   Lovely pub. By the river. Ultra dog friendly (judging by my visit it’s probably obligatory to have a dog!!) . Friendly staff, nice beers, super atmosphere. Food looks good but I didn’t have any. I think this pub was closed for a while but it is a super spot now

   From the moment I walked through the door I could tell immediately the experience would be a good one. I was greeted by Elle who gave me a very warm welcome, professional and courteous, a sweet young lady indeed. She went the extra mile to accommodate giving me a great seat by the river just where I like to be the most. Moving on to the food… wow, absolutely blown away! The portion size was definitely a belly filler. Flavours well balanced with succulent meat and perfectly cooked vegetables. If you are a Yorkshire pudding lover then you will love these ones. Even the mint sauce was home made. Presentation gave the impression of a well trained chef and after eating, I can assure you the chef talents shines throughout his food. The establishment it’s self, is clean well decorated and has fantastic river side seating areas outside. Lastly… the toilets, this matters a lot to me, I can confirm they are clean and well maintained. Thank you to all the staff for your hospitality and for a great meal. Quite obviously a very well run pub.
