The 30 Best Pub in Norwich

“Myself and my friend booked the axe throwing and had a great half hour with Nina who showed us how to throw, gave us tips and was a really good host. So thanks to Nina for adding to the fun. Would Recommend”

“We had a great meal at Gem Turkish Restaurant. The food was fresh, full of flavour, and beautifully presented. The octopus dish, in particular, was absolutely outstanding – easily one of the best I’ve had anywhere. The service was warm and attentive without being overbearing, and the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. My only complaint? The remix of Creep by Radiohead that came on during our meal – a complete travesty to music! But even that couldn’t spoil an otherwise excellent evening. Highly recommended.”

“Delicious afternoon tea. The open sandwiches were amazingly tasty. Service was great - very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend!”

“The food was so good! We ordered the curried goat and the jamaican brown chicken both with fries as they were both delicious and perfect portion sizes. Very friendly service and quick too. Definitely would recommend!”

“Amazing place great atmosphere, friendly staff beautiful polite friendly girls. Girls are not pushy and are very respectful. I would certainly recommend.”

“We visited ‘The Bird’ during a stay with family, it was brilliant. Fantastic menu in a spacious and beautiful restaurant/bar. The staff were without exception friendly, polite and attentive to all our requests. It was a pleasure to be there and without doubt be returning. Only problem is we live in Kent so will come back when we can.”

“Amazing restaurant, staff were so friendly and helpful when choosing what to eat and even fit us in with five minutes before the kitchen shut. Food was absolutely delicious and well worth the price. Cocktails were very strong around £10-12 each. Atmosphere was cosy and intimate. Will definitely be returning to try more of the menu in the future!!”

“The Rose has a deli counter where you can buy cheeses, cold meats, pork pies etc. Pay £1 per person and they serve up your deli items on a board with crackers and chutney. What you don't eat, you take home. We had a lovely little catch up with our friend in the relaxing courtyard. We drank Aspel's cider, clearly the best quality draft cider around, (it's so disappointing that so many pubs have switched to the inferior Inches) and what could have been nicer than than a round if cheese and biscuits to finish the session. The pub is dog friendly and the staff worked hard to ensure everyone had an enjoyable visit.”

“We saw Rich Hall here on a Wednesday evening in December. Had a nice pint of Porter prior to the show and thoroughly good time in the theatre. I really enjoy the Playhouse as a building, a not over sized venue and for the atmosphere. Looking forward to going back next year.”

“Food was tasty and plentiful. We had breakfast, and then returned later in the day for coffee and cake. Friendly service. Really good value.”

“We had a lovely meal at Bella Italia tonight. The food was delicious and we really enjoyed every part of it. Our server, Ilona, was absolutely wonderful — so friendly, helpful and genuinely welcoming. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better server. The manager was also fantastic — very welcoming on our arrival and he made sure we were well looked after throughout the evening. The whole team made the experience feel relaxed and special. We’ll definitely be back!”

“Our first time visiting and we were not disappointed! Unfortunately a lot of the stalls were closed due to horrendous weather over the weekend, but it didn’t dampen the experience. The majority of the indoor stalls were still trading, and we had a browse and purchased a few lovely items. Will definitely be returning in the summer for the full experience!”

“My granddaughter took me for afternoon tea for my birthday. It was super! I especially enjoyed the savouries which were delicious and so much nicer and more interesting than the usual sandwiches and sausage rolls.”

“Beautiful place and great beer served from the tap room; just as it should be. There are not enough good pubs like this left, we need to frequent them to keep them going but more so as they raise the spirit. I shall be coming back soon and bringing friends.”

“Very nice staff, good beer and interesting place”

“Just happened to be passing and saw the live music. Acoustic night was in full swing. So we went in. Wonderful. Great beer Great service Great atmosphere”

“A lovely isolated pub down a gravel track across the marshes. Very busy when we went but it was a sunny summer Saturday. Good food & drink options, staff really friendly & cheerful.”

“The Last Pub Standing in Norwich is a unique and lively venue with a rich historical backdrop. It's known for its trendy, yet welcoming atmosphere, blending modern décor with a sense of the city's past. The pub offers a solid selection of craft beers, cocktails, and eclectic food options, appealing to a wide range of tastes. Its vibrant social scene, combined with occasional live events, makes it a popular spot for both locals and visitors. The name hints at its resilience, standing the test of time in a city known for its many historic pubs.”

“Friendly and knowledgeable staff, with a great atmosphere and a good selection. They even have Hawkstone on tap, which is fantastic.”

“Three excellent ales, all spot on. Brains Mild, Lacons Legacy and Adams Broadside. Enjoyed a lovely game of darts and a Thai chicken añd potato curry.”

“Food was awesome, beer was awesome, servers were great aswell! Lovely audience. Very nice location. Had a great time. We had the Oklahoma Stack burger which was really good. Tasted some of the beers including Lucky Break, Hefeweizen, Arcade Made and a couple of more. Lovely place and I hope to return anytime soon! :)”

“I have never been so impressed with service. I have a allergy to Olives which is uncommon but we had lovely service and were made sure that there is no cross contamination, we were told that the kitchen cleaned down and prepped fresh vegetables for our meal especially for me. I have never felt so cared about in an establishment. I am floored and so impressed and just amazing!! Very yummy food too!! Thank you so much!!”

“Great generous portions and lovely friendly staff. I wasn’t keen on the huge television screens showing sports but I’m probably in a minority with that opinion. The food was fine, I would happily eat here again.”

“A exciting day for bowling turned into a afternoon of pain and tears! No ones fault but mine eek! Thank you to the two lovely ladies that ran to get me ice when I tripped and fell over my daughter in the bathroom. I thought I broke my ankle. They also tried to calm my daughters that were crying. Thank you to the two gentleman who also came to check on me. So sorry I didn't get any names. The bowling was fun and the revamp looks great too!”

“Visited today for a late Father's Day meal. Asked for the set menu, not a lot of choice but still good enough mixture, my food was good. Service was fantastic, fast, and friendly. Also, 2for1 on cocktails, so they went down a treat. Bottomless on the diet coke, so well worth the money.”

“What a turnaround for this particular Odeon! Last time I went it was tired, shabby and dirty. Since it’s refurb it’s spotless, beautifully done out and now with the super comfy recliner seats. Excellent value for half term at only £5 per person to go see Casper. Bought a family bundle of snacks which was 1 HUMONGOUS bucket of popcorn, 2 large drinks and 2 kids mixes which cost an exceptionally reasonable £18.99. The staff were all so friendly and helpful, all full of smiles and happy to interact with not just us but all other patrons.”

“Afternoon tea and some cocktails. Gorgeous place with lovely staff, we really enjoyed the atmosphere and food was yummy. Salted caramel old fashioned was amazing.”

“Very Friendly Pub, the folks there supported me when l was unintentionally homeless last year, l am now thankfully re- housed, will be definately be visiting this pub again this Summer, Rachael”

“My partner, a friend and I had a lovely meal here with nothing I can think to criticise. We really enjoyed the food and drinks, but best of all was probably our waitress Libby, who goes above and beyond to assure a positive customer experience. Service is friendly, attentive and fast. We didn’t have to ask for any extras or more drinks etc as these were offered to us frequently throughout our visit. Would highly recommend this restaurant for excellent service & food/drinks, as well as good value for money. Will definitely be back again soon!”

“Lovely decor, really well done out inside this place. The food was fantastic, we had a Groupon voucher for a 3 course meal and a drink for two that cost under £30. I had the skate and my partner had the lamb shank for our mains and couldn't fault it, really good value, way too much food for us and ended up taking desert home in a takeaway tub! The staff were friendly and helpful overall I would definitely recommend going here and will come back again soon.”
