The 30 Best Steak house in Norwich

“Spending an unplanned day in Norwich I fancied an English style restaurant lunch. Bishop’s was the first one I found among the huge range of international options. I used the online booking system but this failed to get through to the restaurant. However, there was no drama and we were seated without any delay. The service from the owner was first class as was the 3-course set lunch menu. Each dish was special and I picked up a few new ideas to try myself at home. A great experience and the set menu was excellent value for money.”

“The only downside to the thaiway is trying to book a table. We visited last year and couldn't get a table ,& it was a 2 hour wait for a takeaway. To counteract that this year I thought I'd book well in advance. 9 phone calls over 10 days and all were cut off and a generic message of "we're too busy to take your call at the minute" was sent. In the end we called in at lunch time today and were able to book a table at 18.30. The service and food were of a very high standard. Nice surroundings and prompt service. All in a reasonable price. The end product was a very enjoyable experience.”

“Cool place, great food, chilled atmosphere. Beef brisket was amazing and the selection of craft beer is good too with some locally sourced stuff in the spotlight with the redwell brewing stuff also. Can’t go wrong here for about £30 for 2 couple”

“Friendly helpful staff, great food and easy parking”

“This is great place to go for some top quality food, friendly staff and a great atmosphere. Came here on a Wednesday and had the all you can eat chicken and ribs etc. Service was very quick and the food was awesome. I will definitely be coming back very soon.”

“We had booked a table for two on the occasion of my birthday, but didn't really know what to expect. At first, we couldn't actually find the place, despite being guided by Google maps, because it's tucked away on the first floor of a building and with only a rather non-descript sign outside. When entering the building, we were asked whether we had a reservation, and when going upstairs and entering the place, it became clear that they don't really need to advertise their presence outside, as it clearly seems hugely popular amongst people who know about it. In a way, it felt like entering a VIP club... The restaurant is much smaller than I had anticipated, and at first we felt a bit disappointed at being led to a small high table in the centre of the room. But when we realised what a special place it is, all hint of a disappointment instantly vanished. Meat cannot be selected from an ordinary menu, but must be ordered off handwritten boards, and there is only a very limited number of each cut, clearly labelled from which farm they come from. It's all about local produce, quality and presentation. This is a very special place, very different from ordinary steak houses, and it turned out to be the perfect place for my birthday meal!”

“We went for my husband’s birthday lunch and had a great meal. Also we must commend on all staff, who were very nice, professional and friendly. I am vegan and GF and everyone went out of the way to accommodate my dietary restrictions. I had tofu to start with and saffron risotto for main followed by something amazing and fluffy for dessert. My husband had chicken liver pate, sea bass and cream brûlée. Everything we can recommend 100%, all beautiful! We can’t recommend this place enough, very uplifting experience! Well done all team!”

“amazing food, service and music live dj with great classic dance music, menu du jour was very reasonable with 3 courses for £36 for quality food, also received a complimentary dessert as it was for a birthday, will be back!”

“Went for our anniversary and was Not disappointed. Amazing selection on the menu. The freshly prepared croquettes were a favourite and we. couldn't say no to a grilled Turbot paired with Sangria. Could taste and smell the fresh ingredients. The service was beyond exemplary. Such lovely people own and run the restaurant. We will definitely be back! Thank you for making our anniversary meal so special.”

“This is a great upmarket pub restaurant, you can eat in the bar area or upstairs, lovely decor throughout, great service, good bar with good selection of drinks. The food is really good, well presented to a high standard.”

“We popped in today on a mission regarding my mum and dad and had lunch while we were here. I had the Brie, Bacon and Cranberry Ciabatta, which was delicious and my son had the White Horse burger, which he genuinely felt was the best burger he had ever eaten. He also said the coleslaw was worth going for on its own.”

“Lovely pub. We've been for food on several occasions and it's been great every time. This time we came for a family Christmas lunch and it couldn't have been better so I had to post. Delicious food, delightful staff and a lovely cosy atmosphere.”

“We had a really lovely meal, as we always do. Staff helpful and service is quick. The only complaint we'd have is that we were seated in the small dining room which accommodates two tables of 8. When occupied this can be really noisy. At times we struggled to hear each other. This is the second time I've encountered this issue. In future I will ask to be seated in the main dining area.”

“Absolutely loved this place. A real hidden gem in the centre of Norwich. Feeling spontaneous on a Friday evening. I called half an hour before to see if they could accommodate my wife and I for dinner. The staff were very helpful and friendly and they managed to squeeze us in at the last minute. The food is absolutely amazing and very reasonably priced. We opted to share a mix of various small plates and everything was delicious, well presented and served promptly. The drinks offering is decent so my wife opted to try a glass of the Plum wine while I stuck with the familiar Sapporo. We were so blown away by the plum wine we decided to share a bottle. It is the perfect drink to have whilst savouring the delicate flavours of the food, a wonderful balance of dry, sweet, tangy and fresh. The staff were exceptionally friendly and efficient. We will be returning again in the very near future.”

“Easy to find as it’s just off the road, a bit noisy with traffic zooming by but who cares it was nice to sit outdoors and eat a deliciously huge veggie breakfast with nice touches like braised vine tomatoes, spinach and pepper . The waitresses were really friendly and served us quickly and efficiently.”

“Went here last night on recommendation & was not disappointed. Food was amazing staff was very friendly & knowledgeable. It has been so hard to find somewhere that serves good food. We will be returning again soon.”

“Impromptu dinner here after a lovely walk n the seafront at Carp Gap. Food was delicious, staff welcoming. They even gave our dog a little treat. Definitely coming back.”

“A quiet lunchtime service on a Tuesday, but attentive enough to make the meal a pleasure. Food was good, with great local ingredients and good flavours. Amazing artwork on the wall by local and Scrawl Collective member, Will Barras too, which makes the establishment a visual delight too. Something many establishments cannot claim. A definite recommend, should you be in the vicinity.”

“I had a fantastic mother's day meal at the White Horse today with dear friends and my two teenage children. We were greeted by the new landlord with complimentary prosecco and a truffle style chocolate for the mum's that were dining. We all had a fantastic 2 course meal. There was a wide range to choose from and the pricing was incredibly reasonable with two courses for approx £25 3 of our diners chose the roasts, my son had venison and I had the sea bass and saffron prawns. My overall favourite was the starter, it was simple, delicious and cooked to perfection. I've attached a photo We then sampled their new cocktail menu, the teens had the mocktails and I had a sex on the beach and an espresso martini for dessert. It was such a nice treat to have a glass full of cocktail as opposed to a glass half filled with ice (which seems to be the norm nowadays) All the staff were really friendly and attentive, it really did feel like a special treat in a relaxed atmosphere! Thanks everyone! Looking forward to eating with you again soon”

“Totally amazing restaurant, quite possibly the best meal I've ever had. Everything was presented and cooked to perfection. The quality was second to none, the service was incredible and the information about each dish was first class. It is without doubt the place to go and I'm looking forward to going back again.”

“Fantastic Sunday roast! We had a wonderful family meal; everyone enjoyed their chosen roasts (chicken, beef, and pork). The portions were generous and everything was perfectly cooked. The cauliflower cheese was delicious! The restaurant is beautifully decorated, comfortable, and full of unique little details that make the space feel special. The staff were very welcoming and friendly throughout. We’re already looking forward to coming back to try other dishes!”

“Wow, what an absolutely delicious dinner - my partner and I both had the venison pie and it was truly memorable. The pub itself is v warm and smart and the staff were lovely and welcoming. Very much hope to return.”

“Perfect place as a base for visiting our daughter in Norwich. Room was fantastic and the shower was great too. My concerns about noise from the car park was unfounded, no problems at all. The cooked breakfast was fantastic, we will be coming back!”

“The big pie is well worth getting if you are feeling hungry. Sunday dinners are value for money. I think You have to book as it gets busy. So tables are reserved so no waiting Great landlord and landlady. Very friendly place.”

“We visited today for the 1 hour highland cow cuddling experience. I simply cannot recommend enough! The experience itself was absolutely amazing and one I’ll never forget. The young girl (so sorry I didn’t get your name) was super friendly, knowledgeable and fantastic at her job! All of the staff here are so lovely. The cafe food & drinks are exceptional and we will certainly be back! It was super busy- so ensure you book! Thank you so much!!”

“This restaurant serves truly delicious Portuguese food with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The bread with olive oil and olives is soft, fragrant, and a perfect start. The fried squid is fresh and full of flavour, while the Portuguese beer pairs wonderfully. A great spot to enjoy authentic tastes!”

“We had a gorgeous Sunday roast trying the pork and chicken - excellent food, amazing service, very, very loud. Food - The food was excellent, I've had a great many roasts in my time and this was one of the best, as you can see in the video the pork pulled apart with a fork and it was so juicy, the chicken came as a supreme and was very generous, the only thing worth mentioning as a negative is there was such a variety of veg that the portions of each felt mean (that's subjective and barely worth mentioning) Service - Fantastic all the way, ordering is split between food and drinks, food is ordered at the table and drinks are ordered at the bar. The server took our order really quick and the food came out very fast. They were attentive but not intrusive, A+. Drink service was swift and professional, we had soft drinks and after I had ordered they were brought straight to the table, again, this was swift. A service charge is added to the bill. Atmosphere - The bar itself is aesthetically pleasing with a reclaimed, hipsterish vibe. It's a massive open space with the bar in the centre and this is where the issues begin. It's loud, aggressively loud, I couldn't hear my partner or the staff at all and given the complete lack of soft furnishings every sound echoes around and around. As someone with sensory issues I struggled. The seating and tables are mismatched which is cute but I barely managed to get my legs under the table as the seats were too tall, the tables are also packed in close and I spent half my meal with my back touching the person behind me. There is a soft seating area at the back of the bar which I didn't see until I had already eaten, it's a much quieter and more comfortable area and I really wish I had seen it earlier. To be clear it's pretty and if you're into the whole community eating, cacophony thing, it's a good atmosphere. Accessibility - Poor, it's very tight, you won't get a wheelchair through it, it's loud so bad for people with sensory issues, there's no parking lot so you take your chances on the very tight streets outside and you'll struggle to order drinks as there are tables surrounding the bar.”

“Wow! This was what was uttered on serving the food. Huge portions of delicious food. From BBQ duck, Greek skewer, meat sharing platter, turkey roast dinners and burgers for the kids, we were all delighted. Bonus, for me, were the two Beavertown beers on tap, impressive ☺️”

“We celebrated our Grandad's 90th birthday here. We had Sunday roast which was absolutely delicious. Every single member of staff was lovely,chatty, accommodating and very efficient. They put a birthday banner on the table for us with a birthday card for our Grandad. We thought that was a lovely touch. We definitely recommend this lovely place and will be coming back. Thank you :-)”

“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..”
