Bar pub in Norwich

“Came here for a date night, and was treated to the bottomless steak, which was amazing! The steak was cooked perfectly, and the sides were really good too - and all for an amazing price. Definitely will go back again with friends ☺️”

“The Sunday carvery at the Ferry Inn was a superb roast lunch at a very reasonable price with a pleasant outlook beside the river.”

“So I am going to give this place 5*****s Even tho the lemonade/coke machine was down. Can't be helped! Food was cheap as. Food had great sizes. The menu is massive and has sooo much to choose from and they do a good deal on kids eating here. It's. Shame this place is out of range! I live in gorleston ,would be great for one to opened more local my end. Can wait to return and dig in to more cocktails and deserts!”

“Had a meal here with family, a nice place with toys and books available for the children, excellent service from the staff and large portions of excellent food. Highly recommended.”

“Well, what an unexpected treat this was! We booked online, but needed to phone in to double check which menu would be served, the young lady was incredibly kind and knowledgeable suggesting we tweak our time as we preferred a late breakfast to an early lunch. On arrival I was acknowledged at the bar, and guided to our table. The attention to detail on service was spot on, both Jack and Ben with their warm, cheery, nothing is a problem dispositions, ensured everything about our orders for 3 was exactly as expected. Piping hot, perfect poached egg, all breakfast items were delicious, two veggies and one meaty. We will definitely return the next time we visit Norwich, thank you Ben and Jack for going above and beyond to ensure we had an incredible experience in your beautifully refurbished pub. PS loos we’re spotless, immaculately clean!”

“Nice pub with 5 rooms available to stay. Website is out of date (describes restaurant which no longer exists!). Disabled access is poor. Staff are very helpful.”

“Lovely place. Great staff, really friendly. Food was decent, and yet made us feel very welcome and looked after.”

“I dropped in as I was passing and pleased i did. A really nice pub with very friendly staff and customers. I didn't eat and not sure if the do food. But if you want a great place for a quiet pint on a Saturday afternoon this is the place.”

“Superb meal in a pub that caters for everyone. Eat, drink, sport all separated. Landlord is a great character and staff are polite and attentive.”

“Place seems lovely. Went there at 7.30 pm, it had been busy and there was only gammon for the carvery. We were offered chicken breasts also and sausage though so happy with that. Pretty good prices. View of the River is pretty. Would definitely go back just earlier for the carvery.”

“I am not usually one for posting reviews, however, I felt it was necessary after the absolutely brilliant evening myself and my work colleagues all had on Friday night for our Christmas party. Kevin the manager was incredible, first class customer service! Kevin was attentive, helpful, efficient and just everything this place needs in a manager. Then onto Rachel from the kitchen, wow, what can I say... The food that was prepared for us that evening was just perfect! Rachel catered to our specific needs and requirements ensuring that everyone could enjoy plenty of delicious food including options for vegan and vegetarian preferences, all of which was freshly prepared and served promptly. I would like to say a huge thank you and well done to everyone at the Compleat team including not only Kevin and Rachel but also the bar and kitchen staff too as you all played a part in making our evening so wonderful, we couldn't have asked for more!”

“We popped in for lunch. We didn't book as it was a random day. However they accommodated us. And made changes to the meals as required for my daughter. Also a nice selection of non alcoholic beverages. I had to leave and collect my daughter and left my grandmother here, and Ellie made sure the food was kept warm until I got back. Very helpful staff and Ellie was very attentive =)”

“The second coming, appropriately at Easter for a whistle stop meeting with my daughter & boyfriend. Where can you get a roast dinner all day & for £11 with a drink? The Shoe Makers, Norwich. It really is cheap n cheerful but in the best way. The roasts & fish n chips were cooked to perfection & piping hot & a salad I had last month, outside, was fresh, crisp & had a delicious dressing. The interior is interesting, colourful & indicative to Norwich. The reason for the review, is the staff. Hadley the Barman, since only Dec(!) is professional, knowledgeable, approachable, and so damn cheerful! One can see he is a kind, honest, good person that likes people & service. He is a real asset to any establishment, so keep your eyes open & don’t let him go Shoe Makers Management. You can teach customer service & hospitality, but Hadley is a natural. I also met the Assistant Manager, Harrison. A lovely, warm, friendly chap, who also exudes charm & professionalism. Either wouldn’t be out of place in Mayfair. Happy Easter x”

“First time visiting The Whiffler and first time I've tried a Wetherspoons breakfast. Proper lovely food, nice and cheap. Unlimited refill coffee for £1.71... can't honestly go wrong can you! Ordered on the app and everything arrived within minutes! Not a bad atmosphere inside either, typical from any Wetherspoon up and down the country. Will definetly pop in again.”

“Recently had a great experience at Copper Beach, and I must give a huge shout out to the manager Dan Marche. When we walked in, Dan made sure that we felt right at home. What really made the visit perfect was his attention and knowledge. I wasn’t sure about what to choose from the fairly extensive drink menu and he was right there for me. He listened to my preferences and recommended the drink that he thought would be ideal for me, and it truly complemented my entire meal. So it’s pretty obvious that Dan’s in charge of running the joint but also sets really high standards when it comes to customer service and personal attention. Thanks, Dan, for making our visit memorable. This is a top-notch establishment.”

“This was our second visit to The Lamb Inn, and it was just as enjoyable as the first! The food was absolutely delicious, especially the chicken wings so tasty and perfectly cooked. The staff were helpful and friendly, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. A great place to relax and enjoy a lovely meal!”

“Lesley and Pat are very special friends of mine who I've had the pleasure of knowing for many years and I love very dearly. They are always very welcoming. They are always up for a laugh and have really amazing personalities and a really fantastic sense of humour. You will always have a really enjoyable time when you go to their pub.”

“Walked in and paid, no waiting around. Staff ready to serve and helpful. Drinks and food came quickly enough to the lane. Kids enjoyed playing both games and didn't get bored. Went into the arcades, great range of games with ticket prizes. My only suggestion would be to ask about bumpers when booking in, as this is done manually it meant we had to go back and ask for this to be done. As there was no queue this wasn't a big deal, but I imagine when busy it's not ideal.”

“SUCH a great place to stay at. Convenient for the City. Comfortable rooms and good facilities. The Staff always welcome you whether it's your first visit or you've been many times. Looking forward to staying there again soon.”

“Great atmosphere thanks to Carlos with fantastic music, lovely darion & deanna serving at the bar, The brilliant security guards at last got decent ones on the door, All n all good night”

“The view outside the Wetherspoon is nice and can chat with friends. It is nice to take food with the view of the Norwich Cathedral. It will be put on my favourite restaurant when I want to have nice food and chats with friends.”

“Really enjoyable.! Would definitely recommend, and go again. The staff were very helpful and overall the atmosphere was relaxed . We will be back. Next time I will be trying the salmon with pineapple salsa . I had brought in a cake as one of our party had a birthday and the staff helped with that too. Thank you .”

“This was a grand pub for drinking, with wooden banisters and linings around glass making for a pretty design! Counter is well kept and staff were friendly, lighting has a good number of different lamps too. I had a Corona Extra, sitting comfortable at one of the smaller seats here!”

“Took my mum and grandchildren here and was blown away by how lovely the staff were, could not do enough for us. The food was superb, great quality and value for money, being a ex chef i don't say that to often. Will be visiting again very soon. Thank you very much indeed.”

“The building is showing some signs of needing conservation but it is a pleasing environment in the bar/restaurant. The bedrooms are well laid out with modern decoration with impressive en-suites. The food is very good with a varied menu and good wine list.”

“This is my new local having moved to the area with my husband. They do a lovely hot chocolate and some excellent pizzas. Will have to sample the Sunday lunch soon!”

“Lovely end to a weekend at Alder Country Park. Anthony went above and beyond to ensure we were happy. And compliments to the chef Dillan food homemade and delicious. All staff members worked so hard and even kept the kitchen open after hours for customers who arrived 45 minutes late. All the best to the Olive Tree for the future. Thankyou very much. X”

“Very nice pub. Large, friendly and always busy. Cheap food nice coffee and beer. What could you want.”

“Stayed here for work. The staff were lovely and so helpful, Jordan the manager was great and for two nights running I asked if I could stay again, first night my room was available, second night it wasn’t but he made sure that I had a really simple swap over. A little mishap on my behalf happened the first night and I couldn’t check in as it was 1am (late over run shift), completely my fault as it states no check ins after 10pm. The next day, Millie ensured I had a refund. Really nice food. Beautiful river to enjoy. Recommend.”

“My new favorite restaurant in town! Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor. The ambiance was cozy and romantic, perfect for a special night out.”
