Really delicious carvery. The chef was on loan from The Wherry Hotel and the food was excellent. All kept warm with covers to stop the veg drying. All the food was lovely, the mashed potato and butchers sausages stood out as excellent. All for £11.95 which is a bargain price in November 2024.

The taste of the carvery was good , it was let down by the fact it was not hot. The Turkey and the pork were dry, the stuffing was hard. We had not been for two years and unfortunately our visit reminded us why that was.

The food is awesome, and so are the staff. And on 2 occasions (Karens) have done what karens do. They scam for either free meal or demand money back, the table next to us both times 🤣. I feel for the staff who have to put up with stupid people like them. We love coming for our great food, plenty of disabled spaces. To the manager and staff 10 stars 👍, also from someone else reviewing this place I so love the slightly burnt parsnips, in fact I look for them ☺️ they are awesome.

Lovely carvery with good choices of meat and vegetables. Don't want carvery then check out the menu, there's something for everyone from burgers, steak to fish and chips. Only thing I would say is definitely need more staff and maybe keep eye on tables to see if customers need anything else.

Not by any means awful, not appropriate for a wheel chair in my opinion The system in place to queue for the carvery. Is like the krypton factor assault course for a wheel chair user. It was very busy and just made access impossible. Felt like a complete inconvenience. The food was hot but some items had obviously been left there a long time.

On Monday 30.9.24 my friend and I both ordered Chicken Tikka Masla, and both meals - rice and curry( & bowl) arrived barely warm. I am sure a thermo probe had been no where near them! We asked for it to be reheated and as the waitress took the meals away she said it would take 5-10 minutes. After more like 30 minutes, Vicky the manager noticed that we still hadn't got our meals. She immediately took charge of the situation and offered us complimentary drinks - we just asked for glasses of water. She checked on us a couple of times whilst we still waited and again after our hot meals arrived, and offered us complimentary sweets for the poor service we had received. Vicky's attitude and service was super and just what you would hope for in such a situation. When the dinners and puddings arrived they were lovely and we even got mango chutney with our hot curries! I would give general service 1-2 stars and Vicky's 5 star.

My partner and I came to your restaurant last night after having to collect some items in Norwich. The weather was absolutely dreadful but as soon as we walked through that door what a fabulous welcome we received .We were soon asked what we would like to drink and also our order was taken .The food arrived perfect my usual Scampi chips and peas for me Sauceage and mash with huge onion rings for my partner. Both really lovely .Then we had a dessert which was also lovely. We were served by a few different members of staff and all were great .A lady called Vicky was the manager of the day and she also had a nice chat with us .So what have we got to complain about NOTHING. I am sure the lovely staff had no influence on the weather .We will be back xx

the food was dry and bland and clearly had been sat under the lights for a long time. My friend only realise after using her vinegar it had flies in. The cutlery was grubby and the staff seemed lethargic and bored. Harley got an apology after finding flies in the vinegar. Spent extra money on deserts and the waffle seemed stale and cold unfortunately this place has gone really downhill. It use to be a favourite of ours but not the same anymore. It felt really grubby and unhygienic will not be returning

With 2 LD adults, 2 tired children and 2 hungry toddlers we found this high level of service really helpful! Nothing was too much trouble. Please thank the whole front of house team. Food was OK. Nothing to particularly write home about, but good value for the price and the kids ate free. 8 of us was £127 including softdrinks. good menu choices plus carvery. , happy to accommodate gf and df too. A choice of gf deserts!!! And df icecream!! We definitely recommend this restaurant.

We would like to say we come regularly to the racecourse but being a last resort we thought we should. However on this occasion your carvery was disgusting. The food is dried up and hard. I asked was stuffing fresh on reply he said yes however it was like eating a rug so solid and dry potatoes and parsnips so dry they hardly had any insides. Your establishment was hardly busy yet the servery sits full and drying up. Not only that the chef looked bored too FUNFORT! Absolutely stinks of urine and the staff would rather sit on the desk colouring in! Rather than looking proactive in cleaning and making the place and being presentable. Also giving details on the desk is also a breach in GDPR as other customers can see your information I'd like to see an improvement otherwise i won't be visiting again. It's disgusting and very disappointing

Had carvery bit stingy on meat very thinly sliced. Veg can be hit and miss too. But we were lucky and some veg had been topped up so was hot. Had the carvery dessert deal. Desserts looked a bit dried out and lots had ben pre cut in the cabinet. So had a sundee. Staff are friendly though. And you get what you pay for I guess.

I was holiday from Canada, I took my family to the restaurant. April 11 2023. I have been here 5 years ago and it was excellent. Very disappointed food was barely warm and dried up. The only thing that was hot was the gravy. The waitress and bar staff were lovely. I should have complained but it was my last night of my vacation, and did not want to embarrass my family.We will not go back next visit. Shame on you for serving old cold food. If you read the revue properly you would see I was there a month ago. My brothers live in Norwich so yes you can do something !!!!

Well this place is always a cheap no thrills roast which is normally all okay. But today standards fell, first no meat was available for 10 minutes yet all the veg was left to dry out under the lights. Gammon was served with 50/50 fat proportion. Cherry on the cake was we had the kids come through and inform us about some children who were stabbed to death...turns out they have the news channel playing in the child soft play.

Went to the Racecourse last night, me and my friend had a carvery and the food was really nice - lots to choose from and everything was fresh and hot on the counter. The guy on the carvery was really polite and friendly. Only thing I would say is there was only one girl on the bar and there was quite a queue (10-12 people) so it took about 15/20 minutes of standing near the bar to be served a drink, no one else came to help her even though there was other staff about. Other than that we had a lovely evening :)

Visited here because we were craving a carvery on a Thursday night after a busy day! Pulled into the car park and boy was it a bump ride. Lots of pot holes so be aware. The restaurant is HUGE!! So many tables! We ordered drinks and paid for the food at the bar and found a table to sit at. It was pretty quiet, maybe 4 tables when we sat down were full. The carvery selection was amazing. Lots of different choices and a good meat selection also considering how quiet it was. Was way too full when we walked out but enjoyed every bite.

- The beef was not thoroughly cooked so I had a bad stomach "issue" when I returned home. - The cutlery looked like it had been cleaned without salt in a dishwasher or it was very worn. - Very very tired decor and seating. A throw back to the 70s. - For some reason, despite it be a very cold the day the eating areas where very cold! - The young staff were not attentive leading to people at my table going to the bar to order drinks when the staff could have checked the table now and again. Not one visit by them or the manger during our meal.

Great place with a Carvery everyday. We went late in the evening on a Monday and the food was fresh and warm. Lots of parking available and loads of seating options. The pub was quiet but had a great selection of lagers and beer. Carvery was tasty with about 10 sides available (mash, roasties, brocolli, cheesy cauliflower, spouts, carrots, suede, parsnips, yorkies, stuffing and peas) and 5 selections of meat (turkey, lamb, gammon, beef and sausages). Also a variety of sauces and gravy. Would defenitly recommend for small or large groups. Friendly staff and great service! Would definitely return.

50£+ for 2 carveries with a couple of drinks. In all honesty, the food is a joke. Dry meat, Yorkshire puds that are reminiscent of something from when rations were a thing, roast spuds that needed a hacksaw to cut through and veg that was generally on the lacklustre side. Gravy was ok and the broccoli wasn’t a lost cause. How they manage to get repeat custom for these prices at that quality of food is nothing sort of a miracle.

Upon coming in, on Friday 29th at 1215, we had to wait about 20 minutes to order, there was only one man on the counter who by the sounds of it was poorly, coughing away over the counter, we got the carvery, saddened by the fact you can only select two small slices of the 4 different meats on offer, even sadder was the pancake Yorkshire puddings which were awful and dry, the broccoli had burnt bits and the food generally was not all that impressive, after food a cook or kitchen person who I won't name, was behind our table talking to whom I assume was a friend, the language used was awful Infront of my partner and daughter who is 8, talking about being drunk and plans for the new year, swearing loudly like he was on the site building a house and the potential that he is going to be a father again, just wasn't the best ending to an already average experience, Over priced, suspected frozen reheated food, ill workers, inconsiderate staff, just wasn't a pleasant experience.

Has it changed, definitely yes and not for the better. For a start I was ignored by 2 of the staff at the bar when trying to order, 1 appeared to be the manager in a purple shirt, thought maybe I had become invisible. Look after the barman with a beard, he's gold. The carvery vegetables in general were overcooked, Parsnips burnt and hard, roast potatoes tasted of charcoal, the rest was sad looking and luke warm. We would have had a dessert, but we couldn't see it redeeming a really poor main. I hope the couple of Christmas parties that the manager was fussing over had a better time than we did.

Family get together, as always food was excellent and service good and made to feel welcome. As we were a party of 17 it could have proved difficult for the staff but they coped admirably. Highly recommend.
