Pub in Norwich

“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 .”

“Straightforward room in the car park of a lovely pub. Fantastic value for money, friendly people, great food. Will definitely be back again when working in the area. Zero mobile signal but WiFi worked well.”

“It was our first visit to the Black Swan yesterday for Sunday dinner. We ordered the Sunday roast and it was delicious! Plenty of food and the cauliflower cheese was the best I have ever had. Desserts not be missed however full you may feel. We will be returning regulary ( just moved to the area). Well done to the chefs!”

“We ate here for Mothers day, it was a treat. Set menu had plenty of options. Staff were amazing, I have dairy and gluten intolerance and was very much accommodated and they even made me a special dessert so I could have one. The location is beautiful and inside is rustic and very well kept and clean.”

“Amazing customer service from Karen the moment I checked in. Super friendly with such a warm welcome. The room was just lovely. Very clean, spacious and airy with a lovely view. The location is perfect, just a15 minute drive to Norwich town centre. The food was great and the spa was wonderful. Can’t fault this place. Highly recommend and will DEFINITELY be returning ❤️”

“Visited for my mums 95th birthday very accommodating with menu for my Mum. Food was piping hot and great portion sizes. Nice atmosphere and Wed night specials as well as the main menu. Great selection also. Will definitely return Empty plates all round.”

“We were looking for somewhere and hadn't booked. Found this on the map. What a winner. I have a dairy allergy and they took it so seriously. They knew the menu inside and out. The location is stunning and would be lovely on a summer day. The food was enormous. Plentiful. Six in our group. 2 x sausage and mash. The only small complaint was the veg being a little too under cooked 1 x double house burger - handmade patty and my son loved it. 1 x kids chicken nuggets. I will say these looked lovely but for my fussy eater too much batter 1 x ricotta stuffed chicken breast. Again looked amazing 1 x vegan halloumi burger 1 x side of onion rings. All bar one couldnt finish the food. We did ask for the desert menu to be nosey but the staff forgot to bring. So we took it as a sign that was enough for us. Full belly's and happy kids. Its worth a visit”

“Serving reasonably charged nice beer. Location is quite convenient. Parking is somewhat limited but easily accessible via bus or taxi anyway. Would recommend a visit if you're in Norwich.”

“Wonderful little pub. Great cosy atmosphere, friendly staff and punters. Tacos there fantastic too. Can’t go wrong.”

“Went in as it was part of my City of Ale trail and found the pub very relaxing and some nice interesting photos on the pub walls , and was visited by the Landlord's dog lovely little chap bit out of the way as i live on the other side of the city.”

“I recently dined at Côte Restaurant and had a wonderful experience. The food was delicious and beautifully presented, with each dish prepared to perfection. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it an ideal spot for a relaxed meal. The staff were friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service throughout, ensuring we felt well taken care of. The menu offered a great selection of classic French dishes, all with fresh, quality ingredients. Overall, Côte Restaurant provided a delightful dining experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for authentic French cuisine and exceptional service.”

“The best steak house going. Very few places offer the hot plate so you can cook your steak to your liking. Delicious starters and deserts too..”

“One of my favourite pubs on The Broads. Delicious food - had a lovely steak pie with mash and veg. Great gravy! Service was good and plenty of people in so recommend booking. Within easy walk of local river moorings.”

“We had an intimate wedding reception here just a couple of weeks ago (early June), and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Sebastian was the perfect host, taking care of everything, even though he was probably up against it, as all the planning was very loose on our side! Pretty much all the arrangements were done by email or video, with a couple of quick drop ins. The canapés were delightful and the food was fabulous. I forgot to take pictures after the canapés because it was all so delicious we all got stuck in!! The service was excellent, we had everything that was wanted to make this the most perfect wedding. Thanks so much Sebastian and also for all the wonderful waiting staff and the fabulous chefs! ❤️”

“Service and food was absolutely incredible! Best food me and my boyfriend have ever had hands down! Hi, boyfriend here: this food was so damn incredible that it sparked a new life within our relationship, genuinely, I’ve never felt love like this before, and I mean the food if I could choose between this food and her. I would choose her because I love her but this food is freaking amazing 10/10 would recommend plz try love you bye”

“This is beautiful pub and in an amazing location. With the smell of amazing food being prepared drawing you in. It doesn’t disappoint in anyway.”

“It's a really lovely welcoming pub with good beer, friendly staff, a quality Sunday roast and a nice atmosphere. Defo my favourite pub in Norwich!”

“Great little traditional pub with their own real ale brewery and a good selection of other ales and beers to boot. The food menu looks good although I have not tried it. Friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Only 5mins walk from Norwich railway station . They seem to have a regular darts team. Real wood fired pizzas at special times”

“Fantastic gastro pub. Food is awesome and great service. First time there as we were passing through the area but wouldn't hesitate to return. Nice spacious restaurant - not crammed in shoulder to shoulder. Excellent!”

“Another amazing pub in Norwich! The atmosphere was amazing, lots of good music, they also have a wonderful selection of drinks for all ages. They have done an amazing collaboration with XO Kitchens. Their food is Asian fusion, with a wide array of flavours and dishes. Today we had: "Aged beef and bone marrow and flatbread with sauce", "Korean Fried Chicken, Asian Mayo with crispy noodles", "Beer Braised Beef, Miso - Sweetcorn Puree with Togara'shi fries", "Lager, Soy and Mackerel Fillet, Katsu Ketchup with Pickled ginger and wakame" All of these were perfectly presentated, with layer on layer of sweet, spicy, or sharp flavours. AMAZING, can't fault it”

“Love this place! Pogues Mahones has such a fun vibe and the staff are always super friendly. Drinks are solid, prices are fair, and there’s usually great music or a lively crowd to keep the atmosphere buzzing. Definitely one of those pubs you can just relax in with friends and know you’ll have a good time”

“Had some great local Norfolk ale here, nice pub. Top service - more than once the staff ensured my pint was topped up after the initial pour without any prompting. Also there was a pizza van (with a proper pizza oven), which we didn't sample but think is a great idea.”

“Great craft beer and cask ales on tap and always a large selection, always come here when in. Norwich it lovely to sit by the river”

“Argyle on tour !! 9hrs to get here by train but a 20 minute walk to this pub and with a nice real ale in my hand it mattered not. Nice bar staff....very friendly and even guided me to a few more pubs on the way back to Carrow Road stadium. Lovely old traditional pub steeped in history. Sadly, another bad day for Argyle.....we got stuffed 6 - 1. Ah well....only another 9hrs to get home....”

“Been here several times over two years holidays and it's been consistently excellent service and delicious food. We'll worth a visit, very family friendly including dog friendly. Has a small amusements area and play park which keeps the children of all ages entertained. Highly recommend. Great prices and friendly welcome too”

“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.”

“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 ;)”
