Bar pub in Norwich

“A proper pub run by a lovely Landlady. The pizza van on a Friday is amazing”

“Booked "the snug" for my 59th birthday. It comfortably holds around 20 people, it has its own part of the bar so you can get served there. The bar staff were lovely, very accommodating to our needs. Beer was cold, food was hot (served from a pizza van outside), can't fault it.”

“Proper cracking local pub ,lovely buzz and great community feel at this wonderful hostelry,atmosphere awesome,staff brilliant as well as a good selection of nice ales,will definitely come here again”

“Was served by Macey tonight, what an absolute brilliant evening. She made me and my group feel welcome. Good place for a pint and brilliant service!”

“Michelin star pie!! Tuesday special! Last tuesday the city was all jammed up and I had to sort of abandon my car in the car park of the Black Horse. Patrons only, obviously and in desperate need of both a bit of dinner and a bit of natural respite, I stopped in. I was in a bit of a flap, rush hour traffic has a way of really aggravating me, and I was tired and hungry (hangry they call it) and the gigantic barman was incredibly patient and recommended a special that would go on to change my life. Pie & a pint. PIE and A PINT Lets start by saying that the atmosphere of the Black Horse could be described as 'a warm hubub' even at about half five of a Tuesday evening and there were quite a few tables taken already with people enjoying their dinner. Now, you may think that pie and a pint is pretty standard pub fayre, and you'd be right, it's probably one of the most familiar dishes on menus across Britain ad, as someone who spent decades of his life travelling with work, I have sampled more than my fair share (my PR will attest to this). So when the pie arrived, all golden pastry, steamy mash and silky liquor-like gravy, I KNEW I was in for something special. This, folks, is the best ever pub pie I've ever had, ever. And it's not even close. Now that may sound like a bold statement, so here's another. The beef and Stilton pie with its leeks, mash and incredible gravy could actually be the foundation of world peace. It meta in the mouth in such a way that you can't help but smile from ear to ear. It's like a song of comfort food at your favourite festival, it's a blanket and a warm bed listening to the raindrops drum against the window. It's simply sensational and, all words and comparisons aside, there is nothing that can truly attest to how good this pie is. I waited all week to post about it because you, dear reader, could well be making plans for tomorrow and please believe me when I say that if those plans are for a pie and a pint at the Black Horse on Earlham road in Norwich, then your mouth will love you for the rest of your life.”

“Lovely village pub that keeps their beer well.”

“Didn't eat food, so can't comment. First ever visit to this pub for a live music gig on Saturday. Great atmosphere, amazing wall of fascinating rock posters. Good drinks from the bar. Friendly staff and locals. A wooden dance floor area was a real bonus. Brilliant, fun night with the talented Glamtastics. We'll certainly go to this great venue again.”

“Mega Roast all proper ‘home cooked’ food and plenty of it. Staff were friendly and smiley even when rushed off their feet. Nice beer garden for those sunny days. Even when busy or live music on its a spacious pub so you can still hear ya mates talk…unfortunately ;)”

“One of the best pubs in the city, typically great beers and always unusual ones even if they're not your thing, no Stella here thankfully. Always playing a good playlist and the staff have never been anything but kind and generous.”

“Lovely pub very friendly and good lager”

“Delicious food here. Great value for money. The staff are also really friendly. A great pub in Wymondham.”

“Me and a few friends came here to have food and it was amazing burgers were delicious and juicy, chips were cooked perfectly I would definitely recommend here, staff were beyond brilliant they were so welcoming and friendly to talk to and could have a good conversation they are a credit to the pub, well done guys!”

“Friendly atmosphere, obliging bar staff, clean Bars & comfortable seating. Pleasant and spacious garden at rear.”

“Sunday lunch in the Great Hall; great atmosphere in an impressive venue. Menu perhaps a little small, but very well cooked and impressively presented. Staff friendly and engaging, if sometimes slightly stretched at busy times.”

“A really lovely venue, and great people. So much for the children to do and wonderful snacks and drinks for all. We all had a great time.”

“What a panto! Five of us attended on opening night. This had all the traditional elements of a good family panto with enough enuendo to satisfy those of us more senior in years too. Well worth a visit. Don't miss it.”

“Fantastic club to visit, really nostalgic and great vibes, drinks weren’t expensive compared to everywhere else in town either”

“Our "local" when we visit Woolacombe. And we are remembered. The menu is small but absolutely lovely. The staff are friendly but very professional. Definitely worth a visit.”

“Lovely place. Very friendly helpful staff. Great food drink & evening entertainment. Very good prices also. Would definitely recommend. Thank you Glen”

“Always an amazing night here. Fantastic atmosphere. The Spanish guy that served us last night really went out of his way to make us feel welcome and valued as customers.”

“I booked the function room for a private party and couldn’t have been happier. Our bartender was so attentive and helpful. Communication with The Manager was excellent, she always came straight back to me, I don’t think she ever sleeps given the times she replied to my emails. We used outside caterers as Chambers don’t have a kitchen to provide food. Chambers Cocktail bar is somewhere I highly recommend. Thank you so much for making the event so special!!”

“Food was amazing so flavourful, initially the portions look small don’t let it deceive you was very filling. Cocktails (pistachios) was amazing, would come again for food or drink only. Great service also.”

“Food was great and the service, if your in the area this is definitely highly recommended”

“So lucky to have The Crown just up the road from me. Enjoyed it's boozy offerings for a while but never got the chance to sit down for a proper meal until recently. Food and service are bang on, and it's such a cosy space. My only criticism was the scotch egg was a little overcooked, but the main course made up for it. Will definitely be back!”

“Staff absolutely superb and the pub itself is beautiful would really recommend to go and have a drink”

“We went today for lunch, and didn't book a table. However, the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, the food delicious, The menu is very large, so choose well as the portions are generous. It's great they have a lunchtime menu option. Recommend the home made chips if you get the option if it comes your way. We have also been again recently with some friends who hadn't been before, they loved it. The food was excellent, I'd recommend the seafood salad, two of my favourite things to eat. A large portion, but just delicious. No room for pudding for me, next time perhaps! If you've not been yet. You have to go, but book a table.”

“First visit to this branch and it was superb . Service was warm and friendly from the greeting to the exit . The food was tasty hot and great value . Its a crying shame they are not closer to our home address. Will definitely revisit and the restaurant is a credit to the management and staff . Ps I dont work for them either .”

“After extensive drinking eating and so on at various pubs around this perfidious Albion of ours I would say with some experience that this place is just the absolute business, the little village of heydon is just the loveliest setting , on holiday this week we as ever visited the Earle arms for our umpteenth anniversary and the staff had put us next to a gorgeous open fire and laid felt hearts on our table, we had a lovely meal which was as ever to die for. We liked so much we booked again for the next night and to hell with the expense. Try it you won’t be disappointed and if you are of the easily disappointed type stay at home and polish your toilet amd hoover your cat, but leave this lovely place to those of us who appreciate and recognise perfection when we see it . Top marks and thanks atmospheric”

“Went to the first of their Rainbow LGBTQ+ Nights and I've gotta say, felt safe and had a great time. Perfect mix of banging tunes and classic cheese too!”

“Really enjoyed coming here. Excellent service. Tasty food. They crossed out /ticked items my son would be able to eat on the menu (he has an allergy) so it was easy and clear to see what he could have. Would definitely go back!”
