Used to come here often and the burgers, fries and chicken wings were absolutely amazing, and one of the best in norwich for sure. A few friends and I had a meal here all together and it wasn't great and honestly disappointing. The chicken wings were very dry and tasted like they were reheated. Fries were good and there were no complaints there. The burgers weren't great either. The bacon burger wasn't freshly made and wasn't as good as 4/6 months ago. It is a real shame as this used to be a go-to spot for me.

A very quiet Tuesday evening meals out special offer two burgers, sides extras and dips for £19:99 absolute bargain! Burgers were melt in your mouth tasty, a ton of fries crispy on the outside soft in the middle if I absolutely had to pick a fault it would be the coleslaw was big standard but the burger out weighed that and we got so sit in big comfy armchairs to eat dinner! The music was ace! Gymnastics from olympics was on the tv house larger was on point !! We were the only people in there which didn’t bother us one bit! All in all go try it will deffo go back and try something else 👍🏻

The burger, for what it was, was overpriced. (£18 for burger and chips.) Quality is that of five guys. Used to be a very good spot but has unfortunately lost the bun exchange and the kitchen is far from what it used to be.

came for bottomless brunch with the girls, but the cocktails were literal juice. I rarely drink, so with the amount that I did, I should have been at least tipsy, but I wasn’t. I ordered the OG burger with the deal, but as it was so dark in there, it took me a few bites to realise my burger wasn’t even cooked all the way through; might not be a problem for some people, but it looked actually raw in the middle. I hate confrontation, so I didn’t say anything and paid the £31 bill feeling very let down.

Excellent service from Lauren B! We booked a table for 4 nicu nurses to catch up over gin and unwind. Lauren was super friendly and greeted us and sorted are table immediately, served us drinks within minutes and after a minor confusion with a GF order which led to us cancelling our food she very kindly amended our bill and gave us a free round of drinks to make up for the mistake. Thankyou for making us feel really welcome we will be back another time for sure!

So positives first. Great pint of IPA and welcoming, friendly barman. Loads of space and big screens well placed to watch the football. Now the negatives which my review is based on. Ordered a burger and fries. Which appeared 5 mins after ordering, always a bad sign. Fries were edible, but not the best. The burger though was worst I’ve ever had. It was soggy, full of fat and absolutely tasteless. Terrible. Not sure how something so simple could go so wrong! Would go back to have a beer and watch the footie but never eat here again.

Visited Saturday 27/1. Start off, great food. We had just finished a bar crawl and got the works: burger, fries, onion rings and wings. All amazing, faultless. The service however, left much to be desired. I have the feeling this was the server’s first day. There was no pleasantries or even a smile really. We weren’t given any cutlery or offered any s/p/sauces. We were waiting a good 15-20 minutes before our drink orders were taken. When food arrived, still no cutlery or offers of sauces. So we took it upon ourselves to get them from the counter. We weren’t asked how the food was either. The lad was sat in his chair on the other side of the room most of the time while tables around us also wanted to order their food. To pay the bill, we made 3 attempts to flag him down. We were also missing some food to begin with (I understand he only has 1 pair of hands but judging by his reaction and that it took 10 minutes to get it, it was genuinely missing). So great food, would definitely recommend the food. But the lack of service really let the place down. If we saw the same lad serving we would turn around and walk back out.

Sorry for the review but we felt that your website was very misleading, it quotes Whether you want to be in the heart of the action or want to chill in Nan’s front room, The Butcher Bhoy is a very special place indeed. We always have music playing in the background but every Friday & Saturday night we have a live singer blessing our stage. If you’re popping in for a quick pint of the black stuff, a bite to eat or a night of singing and dancing we guarantee a great night with a great vibe and warm welcome So that is what we expected to find! But unfortunately felt very let down, there was 6 of us booked in for a meal and expected an irish themed bar. It was more like a tacky back street sports bar. There was no irish music, no band so no singing, just some old dance music being pumped out so loud you could not hold a conversation. We were then tempted to leave and go to brewdog, but we decided to try the Guinness and the food, when we finally managed to get served,( odd that you get to the bar and it's glass clearing area you first come too, seems the wrong way round, )we ordered the black stuff and to be fair it was a nice pint. We asked about our booking and was told to go to the restaurant where we would be seated, we walked through to an area which was empty it was more like a canteen with a 75" tv on the wall (no welcoming atmosphere) , there wasn't no one to seat and greet, so we sat a table ,to then be hoofed out and told you can't sit there its reserved, well I then explained we had booked but was told to move to another table . There was no chilling in nans front room unless you are talking about the temperature, with it being -4 outside and the door being constantly left open , it was blooming freezing, ts the first time I have eaten being scarved ,coated and booted. Luckily the food came out pretty quick , pretty tasty too ! Not to badly priced other than it stated on the menu add chips for £1.95 we were all charged £3. I was not going to argue over a pound. We ate up and left very quickly feeling as I said let down by the atmosphere, if your after a typical Irish themed bar with a cosy welcoming feel to it, where you have a live band playing and you can have a sing to some old tunes , this is not the place for you , not worth the walk too sadly !!! It couldn't be further from it, such a shame! friendly staff and the food was good but for us the atmosphere killed it flat.

Some friends and us went to the Butchers Buoy Norwich last Friday evening for the all you can eat steak night.What a fantastic evening we had there.The food was simply fantastic with the steaks cooked to perfection as well as all the accompanying items, chips, mushrooms, tomatoes etc.We were not rushed at all and service for drinks was very prompt and always with a smile.Nothing was too much trouble in the Butchers Buoy and would very highly recommend you visit and try it for yourself.Summed up fantastic food, lovely ambience, great service simply a fantastic night out will definitely go again.Now going to book East Hills in Brundall for their fruits de la mere so will do a review afterwards.

Unfortunately the food was warm not hot & I didn't like the taste of the chicken very much. The side dish of macaroni cheese wasn't even that edible & it was cold. After that I felt the other side dishes (coleslaw & a tomato salsa?) were a bit too risky to try being an uncooked item. I felt really at risk from the virus whilst there which was a shame because I couldn't relax, so any ambience was lost on me if there was any. They seated a group of men who were obviously not from the same household right next to us, which was thoughtless because it was obvious we were a couple observing the rules & just out to get a change of scenery. I personally will not go here again. Really begrudge paying for the meal but you pay before you get the food, so not easy to refuse & complain. Definitely not worth the cost, it was terrible quality. We left after only one hour. I hate to be hard on a place at such an awful time for the hospitality industry but please guys up your game a bit for your customers sake.

Went to Butcher Bhoy on closing night and I can honestly say it was absolutely amazing, on arrival you could see they were busy, the place was heaving and they still managed to fit me and 2 friends in, we were sat at the bar and told we would be sat as soon as a table became available, within 20 minutes we had a table ready for the all you eat ribs which were delicious may I add! We were constantly topped out and definitely didn’t go hungry! All the staff were so accommodating but I have to give a special shout out to Abi and Rachel who went above and beyond to accommodate us, they constantly checked on us, and left us with a few great one liners, the Irish banter... you can’t beat it, I would highly recommend coming here, we will 100000% be back

Asistí a la noche de bistec ilimitado el sábado pasado, estaba muy ocupado y el personal se apresuró y un miembro fue un poco grosero. ¡Podía ver a los miembros del personal visiblemente molestos entre sí en el restaurante, lo cual no es muy profesional! Comimos un bistec y venía con 3 cortes diferentes generosos, sin embargo, en un plato había muy raro, mediano y muy bien. ! ¡El bistec no era de la calidad que esperaba para 25! Las patatas fritas estaban tan cocidas que la patata se había ido del interior y las salsas no tenían sabor. Macarrones con queso era bueno, las bebidas eran baratas, estaba limpio y el servicio fue rápido. Realmente decepcionado, ya que tenía ganas de ir durante años y podría haber ido a otro lugar por 25 y tuve una comida increíble.Solo me gustaría decir que esta fue solo mi experiencia y creo que acabamos de tener una mala comida porque he estado en otras ocasiones y la comida se veía genial.

5 of us met up for delicious ribs, bbq chicken wings, hot and spicy chicken wings, fries, Cole slaw, tomatoto salad and some kind of sour cream based dipping sauce. Food came very quickly, and was certainly plentiful. The spicy wings were delicious and cooked beautifully, the sauce was delicious and would have gone much better with a blue cheese sauce rather than the sour cream. The deep fried BBQ wings had a nice sauce, but were overcooked and dry. The sauce on the ribs was delicious, but I found the ribs mostly bone without much meat at all. One of my favourite bits about ribs is the rendered fat, and there was no fat at all just tiny bits of dry meat. Staff were incredible and friendly.

We where a group of friends going here on a fb recommendation, we all went for the unlimited ribs and wings, we where sceptical thinking the all you can eat would be a slow refill service like many we have been before, Bhoy how wrong we where, every 5-10 minutes the really friendly staff would bring a platter over and ask if we need any more refills.The meat was very succulent, it would fall straight of the bone, it was cooked perfectly nothing was tough or chewy and all the different tastes would melt in your mouth. The atmosphere was amazing as there was a live band playing but before they set up the staff where considerate and asked if we wanted to move further away from the musicWe have already booked our Sunday lunch for two weeks time, I would highly recommend this place 10/10

Top tip the front of the place looks shut on a sunday but just let yourself in and through to the rear .. its a hidden gem

I booked a table for 6 a month prior - personally gone in there and saw them write it in a book. We got there and they had no record of us!Some of my party wanted to leave there and then, but they offered to set us up a table - so we carried on. The table was round the side near the butchers - this had two downsides - it was really cold (draft from the door) and the smell wasn't good - the men's toilets were just down the stairs.We went and chose our steaks - reasonable price but then you add £5 for them to cook it and for each side. In the end it came to £39 for a steak and two drinks.So - we had arrived at 8.00 - we got our steaks at 9.30pm!!!When they came, they were perfectly cooked and the sides were all excellent as well. We had different cuts and sides, but all were really good.The waiter cleared the plates away, and there was no mention of a dessert - not sure if it was because it was getting late?The other saving grace was the singer. He started at 9.30 when we started eating and we were a bit concerned as we were sitting so close.However - he was brilliant! We did request after request - we mainly asked for irish songs and sang along to them all.When we left, we gave him some money as he had turned the whole experience round. Summary:The food is really goodThe service is dreadfulLadies toilets are fine, men's toilets were disgustingThe entertainment excellent.I would go back to have a drink and watch the singer.I am not sure what it is trying to be - a restaurant or a bar.

Had 15 minutes to spare waiting to meet someone nearby so thought I'd have a swift pint. Have to say quite a poor pint of Guinness, had that metal taste that is far from the creamy smooth experience you'd get from a good pint. Given this bar flies the Guinness flag so high I was expecting a better pint and felt I had to get it out there. Had I been judging the pint it would have been a 2. However the service was faultless.I would get out a bit more but have little time as I have very important opinions I feel that the world is interested in!

I love a good steak and there are an absolute TON of places that will try and tell you they serve the best steak in the city.The things that's different here is that you get everything the way you like it. Want to chow down on a super-thick sirloin? Cara the Butcher will cut it to your liking. Feeling like something a little finer? There's some delicious fillet on the menu too!Myself and my friend got a couple of thick rib eyes and a selection of side dishes to share. Lovely, golden, chunky chips.... Delicious creamy colcannon with crispy bacon bits, some gigantic onion rings that are wrapped in a lovely, light, crispy batter and a good solid glug of blue cheese sauce to top it all off.Its delicious, its decadent and its super fresh.For me this is easily the best steak in the city and I'd challenge anyone who has their reservations to try it and see what they think.

Let me say I feel this place is missing where it willShine . To chose your steak have it cut to your choice . Then go get it cooked and served really is something you don't hardly see any place . And sides was lovely staff was spot on . I truly think this place could be best steak house around . But it's over shadowed by very loud very laddish bar . We was in there with friends at 7 on Friday for meal and place was busy like a football typ crowed . You just feel out place sitting at your table . I feel it's shame as it's got to go one way or another as the two don't mix . And that's only reason we won't go back . Not the food not the staff it's just not place sit for a meal with wine .

We popped in as we know the meat comes from Blofield Farm Shop and we were not disappointed with the sausage rolls and pasties, which were lovely.The girl doing the coffees was very pleasant and friendly, but the "butcher" who served us initially was not exactly cheerful and could have taken the whole experience to the next level by being a happy butcher. Don't get me wrong, he wasn't impolite or a bhoy (thug), just appeared that he didn't want to be there... Perhaps he normally only serves on the meat counter?Will try again as the hot sausage rolls etc are lovely, but as customers we do deserve a smile and some cheer, it costs nothing. I think it'll have to be a breakfast next time.They do also have fresh meat for sale over two small counters and as it is from Blofield Farm Shop it will be good quality.

Live music, friendly bar staff, a great selection of nibbles and reasonably priced drinks. This place is a great place to hang out with friends and family. I will be back.

Great staff, great food and great live music on a late Sunday afternoon in Norwich City centre, a hidden gem and a genuinely authentic Irish bar, pay a visit, especially when a live band is on and you won’t be disappointed.

Three of we old 'uns- only one drinking (most excellently poured Guinness) had the Half Irish one lunchtime. Lovely: and just enough for us. Courteously served, reasonably priced. We'll be back.

I have previously reviewed this Norwich City centre Irish bar, maybe a little harshly, as they were a new business venture in the city. This has to be the place to visit for that Irish feel to boost your day or indeed your evening out.The celebration of the Irish patron Saint was not dampened, this year by a light rain shower nor the fire alarm bell interrupting the musicians, who in classic style carried on performing until we all had to relocate to the street, where the band played on. Our drinks, naturally came with us. Free gifts were distributed around the customers. The previous resident House band, The Rum Dogs always draw a good crowd with their mix of Country, rock covers and Irish tunes to get you dancing and jigging along. The bar itself has a Butcher shop at one entrance for that genuine feel of being in the Emerald Isle, with the second entrance leading you down some stairs into the sports bar area. You never wait long for service at the long bar and the empty glasses are quickly collected by the busy, but polite staff.Quotes from Ireland and Irish song lyrics adorn the walls, with walls and ceilings displaying old and new images of Eire. The ceiling pictures are for those who maybe had a pint or two, too many of the black gold. A colourful and busy daylong event was both entertaining with a troupe of Irish Dancers and perfectly emulating the atmosphere of pubs in dear ole Ireland. If you cannot get across the sea to Ireland, come to Butcher Bhoy, you will not be able to tell the difference.

We went here today for lunch with the family dog and had the best time.You pick the fresh meat you want in the butchers at the front, and there’s a gorgeous Irish theme pub at the back where you get cooked and served your chosen meat with tonnes of surplus such as fried egg, mushroom, potato, tomato, beans and probably whatever else we wanted with it. We had two ribeye steaks, two huge lamb chops and drinks for less than £30.Everyone was so friendly and they even got us a bowl of water for the dog.Fabulous food for an amazing price, completely recommend this place if you love your meat.

Raised eyebrows as I said I didn't like meat however they rustled me up the Irish veggie breakfast without smirking!! They were a fun bunch, the place was immaculate and the food superb - will be going back.

Came here Friday had a Guinness. Service was quick but not the cheapest, had football in in here so watched some of that too.Came back Saturday night for a pint, had a band on, was good atmosphere but very busy in here and due to then narrow walkway between bar and seats it made getting out the pub quite an effort.Toilets are decent and service is good. Good atmosphere in here.

The best. The best pub in Norwich, the drinks are a little pricey but so worth it for the environment!

Met our niece for a quick spot of lunch and a catch up.As our meal was running late the chef sent our very lovely South Africa waitress out to give us olives, warm bread and an olive oil dip dressing to keep us going. I had the chicken and my partner and our niece the veg wellington. The portions were generous and the food tasted great. Great selection of veg accompanied the roast on a serving platter. The rugby was on so it did get busy and a little to noisy to talk once the game started but even then everyone was pleasant and friendly. Great little Irish pub.

The hardest and creakiest bed you could imagine for my son to sleep on (family room). He gave up in the end and we found him asleep on the floor in the morning! No working WiFi (receptionist said that sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't). No air con either. Poor service and uncomfortable nights sleep.

The fish is sliced so thinly, you could almost read a newspaper through it. Prices are very high for what you get.

Food has progressively got worse over the last 3 times I’ve ordered from here. Portions have got smaller, the quality of presentation has really gone down hill… food looks like someone threw it across the room into a box! Sloppy all over. Tonight’s food was borderline burnt and dried out! Not happy with this place at all

It is very busy over lunchtime, so sometimes you have to wait for a spare table. You don't have to wait long for service. It was hot and enjoyable
