Really good food and a groovy place. Stopped here for some lunch and would recommend a visit. Only reason atmosphere is a 4 is because we went on a weekday and it was quite quiet in there. We got the set lunch menu. 1 with Gnocchi for the main which was delicious and fresh, the other with a fish cake which was also very nice. They have the lunch portion sizes down to a T as we left feeling satisfied but not too full that we needed an afternoon nap.

We were lucky enough to be given a 3 course meal as a present and having never been to this restaurant before we were intrigued to see what it was like. Right from booking, all options were given to us, and it was explained what would and would not be included with our meal. Once there, we ordered the fixed 3 courses and the drink that was included plus additions to both the meal and drinks. Everything was good to eat and drink, and yes, we will in the future be going back. Would I say the cost was low, no, but was it worth the cost? Yes I look forward to our next visit, but do also say book in advance as even going at 5.30 by the time we left all tables were full

We had a nice dinner here. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was good, with no overly loud music or other tables too close. The burgers were amazing although two of the dishes ordered were tiny. The goat's cheese tart was just about a mouthful. The peach melba pudding was toddler-size. All the other dishes were great.

First visit to the Farmyard which was lovely, the wine we selected was excellent and we went for the rib of beef to share. I ordered medium rare but my wife struggled so we asked to cook her steak a little bit more which was no trouble. Only criticism would be that in addition to the massive rib of steak was a small bowl of chips to share between two. Considering the dish to share was £80, a small bowl of chips between two was a bit stingy. All said, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

The food is good. Better than good to be honest. This is its redeeming feature and punches well above the rest of the experience. This is pretty unsophisticated restaurant. Yes it prides itself on not being “Michelin” but the service is poor. Moody waitresses. Not a smile to be seen. No one to take your coat, or at least anywhere to hang it up. Paper napkins. School dining room tableware and bright lighting. It’s a business not a restaurant and the priority is the margin, not the patron, which is a shame as going out for dinner should be about more than just the food!

Really not up to what I was expecting. The restaurant itself is so bright and this really takes away any atmosphere. Service was incredibly slow despite there only being three tables, chefs having to shout people to run food but none of the staff were listening. Starters delicious. Main course pork over cooked, Jerusalem artichokes rock hard. Leek side was luke warm. Received the wrong dessert Still put service on the bill. Just an overall disappointing experience especially when coming out with a £150 bill for 2 people

Expensive food. No atmosphere. & £25 mark up on bottles of wine. Shocking! As much as it was pleasant to eat here, it was over priced for what you got. Veg/chips/salads all extras nothing as standard. Menu hasn’t changed in 5 years, same as when we previously went. no atmosphere just loud talking, no music no character. Wouldn’t recommend & wouldn’t go again unfortunately especially when they’re cheeky enough to add on £25 pure profit on a £15 bottle of wine given the current climate. Poor show Farm Yard

Fantastic, personal service at this quietly terrific restaurant. One of our party has a lot of complex dietary needs and the chef curated a bespoke meal which was nutritious and delicious, despite having very scant prior notice (the initial emails to ‘manager@farmyard’ went astray - it should have been ‘info@farmyard’). The pescatarian/shellfish allergy diner was happy with the risotto, and the carnivore delighted with the pork collar bourguignon with hispi cabbage. Highly recommended!

What has happened to Farmyard? This place used to be great but our dinner last night was very poor. Overcooked fish with a tomato sauce that contained so many capers all I could taste was the vinegar they had been stored in. This is such a disappointment as the cooking here used to be inventive and always excellent. There are so many other excellent restaurants in Norwich. We won’t be returning

A mixture of some good and some not-so good food. The mussels were fine although it would’ve been good to have had a spoon to eat the sauce with as well as bread included to mop it up I closed in the dish - paying extra for bread to mop up sauce is the epitome of irritating. The cheese soufflé could’ve been a bit more cheesy but the pork belly and mushroom terrine were great. The cod dish was very salty and the fennel was inedible - uncooked and cold. The pork collar was also very salty and a bit tough and the dish presentation reminded us of school dinners. So all-in-all the food was, at best, ok. The service, however, was practically non-existent. From the moment we walked in to the moment of leaving, there was no care or attention given to us. The very young waiting staff all seemed utterly disinterested and confused as to what they should be doing. I was offered a finger bowl for my mussels but it didn’t appear til we asked again for it at the end of the starters. The white wine was warm and we had to ask for ice to chill it. Cutlery was removed and not replaced. No-one asked at any time if things were ok and we had to ask the Maître D to remove our plates after finishing our main course - no one seemed to care or be interested in how our meal was. Our final impression as we got up to leave, was of the kitchen staff all sitting in the main restaurant in their coats staring at their phones, the Maître D staring at his laptop and the young waiting staff chatting behind the bar about their shifts. No one offered to get our coats or asked us how our meal was - as we walked out the door someone said they hoped we’d had a nice evening….sadly we could not say we had. Very very disappointing. The only saving grace was the fact that I wasn’t charged for the inedible fennel.

Visited on a Thursday evening for our monthly book club meal, 6 adults. We arrived to an empty restaurant, but it soon filled up and was very busy by the time we left. We skipped starters and each ordered a different main course. All of which were served promptly, hot and very tasty. See pictures. Recommend the sirloin steak. We had two bottles of the Pinot Noir, of which I would also recommend. Very reasonably priced at £29 a bottle. The chips, were amazing, crispy on the outside but fluffy on the inside. £5 for a bowl which can be shared between 2. Some of the party had dessert. I didn’t have room! Atmosphere was really good once other diners started coming in. Open kitchen area which an industrial feel to the decor which we liked. Service was great. Toilets nice and clean. Pros: nice wine glasses, hate it when restaurants serve wine in tumblers! Cons: pricey, but, worth it.

We were impressed. We enjoyed the food. It was obvious the ingredients are fresh and locally sourced. We ordered from the set menu, 3 courses for £30pp. I had the ham hock terrine and my wife the French onion soup to start, we both enjoyed these. We had the duck for main, which was cooked perfectly, it fell apart in the mouth. We also shared some chips, they were very good. For dessert we had the dark chocolate and amaretto delice, this was amazing. The service was excellent and the atmosphere quiet and calm. Food is expensive here, but portion sizes are good and food quality is to a good standard. We would recommend.

To be honest this is a very overrated venue. Low end service, no product expertise. The food was poor for what it was trying to portray. If you charge the price or hint Michelin, then walk the walk,if not, stick to the pub grub that you really are ! Went to the 'cottage ', Thorpe St Andrew, on Sunday, fed three more adults and three children with double drinks for £30 more. Value for money, service, and food expertise I'll go to the cottage. I'm still looking for a top end restaurant in Norwich, watch this space X

At6:30pm the Restuarant was busy and they forgot to lay the table properly - no water glasses. The starters were bland and could have done with more seasoning. The Beef Wellington was great….when it arrived. Due to the wait they offered us snack but it did not come until the BW arrived. The sprouts were under cooked and hard. It will be another year before we try this restaurant again!

A friend and I went to Farmyard for a mid-week catch up. I’d been before but my friend hadn’t. My first experience had been highly positive and I was hopeful of having an equally delicious meal. The service was superb; friendly attentive, good-humoured, and I can’t praise our waitress enough. However the food was decidedly average. We ate from the Christmas menu which presented as better value (certainly more reasonable than the Wellingtons that appeared on the specials). We both opted for the turkey and shared a side of the potato dish. The potato terrine was very tasty but the turkey was dry and flavourless. It arrived with stuffing, part of an onion and fondant celeriac (or similar). Disappointingly, the celeriac was hard in places and took some chewing. There was a sauce, but nowhere near enough if it, particularly as the meat was dry and might have benefited from a soak. For desert we opted for a profiterole (I thought it was plural on the menu but only one, large profiterole arrived) and the famed chocolate bar. The chocolate bar was rich and sumptuous but far too sweet to be finished by the average diner. The profiterole was filled with a hazelnut crème pat but the texture was oddly thick and dense and somewhat off putting. The chocolate topping was so solid it reminded me of Ice Magic from my youth. Having said this, I ate the entire meal and enjoyed the evening. The company was good, the ambience suited a catch up between friends and, as previously mentioned, the waitress was lovely. However at nearly £85 for two (including two large glasses of red wine), it didn’t feel like good value. I’ll happily pay that amount for exceptional food but I left feeling like we could have eaten better, for less money a few doors away.

Rear reader, I wrote this in May 2019 and thought I would copy and paste my review from then because it's still valid and perhaps even better than back then! "After a blissful, relaxed evening of haute cuisine we wondered why we'd never been here before since arriving in Norwich two years ago. Very friendly staff, cool decor, warm vibe ... reminded us of positive LA experiences. As a world travelled authentic foodie I have to give Farmyard the highest praise. The food is superb. To begin we shared a delicious tempura cauliflower 'bite' covered in nam-jin sauce (lime, lemon grass, coriander and chilli) while sipping excellent mojito and negroni (with Antica vermouth!) house made cocktails. Our starters were fresh sardines with caviar and crab with pea mousse. Entrees were wild Cornish sole (fish of the day) and sea bream perfectly cooked and accompanied by a special orange butter sauce. The wine selection was great. My partner had a glass of Viognier while I had a Picpoul and an incredible Romanian pinot. We shared the deconstructed Snickers bar, a mix of chocolate, caramelized peanuts and white milk sorbet for dessert. Heavenly. And washed this down with an amazing dark Jimenez dessert wine. Can't wait to go back!" Fast forward to this month. My old friend Ted and I (first time I had seen him in 46 years after he emigrated to Canada) both had the same dishes. To begin we had the super tasty fresh mussels from Brancaster, soft and juicy, with a sublime sauce that was NOT too salty! The main was chicken cooked sous vide so it was tender and tasty served with a ridiculously special beurre blanc sauce, And we ended with their signature perennial dessert as described in my first review. Wow! What an evening. The place was warm, full and buzzing and the service was so friendly and accommodating. Next time we'll be back sooner than 4 years!

The main dish, sea trout, was exceptional. Desserts were good and well-presented, too. Clearly the customers are mostly adults. The waitress wasn’t sure if they had a children’s menu at first, but they did, and even the sausage and chips were delicious! Service was good, wine was good. Well worth a visit if you are into contemporary British cooking.

Full - literally - as were we when we left! Very casual, friendly atmosphere. I had a prawn dumpling in a creamy soup with broad beans and herbs, which was both filling and also delicious especially the "soup". Then we both fancied some red meat for a change and had rump with chips. Very generous portions of steak beautifully arranged, not just a slab. But it was a mistake both to have chips: one chips and a green veg next time. My husband had a banoffee pudding as it had porcini ice cream with it ( which he loved) but I was defeated so had just coffee with petit fours. A lovely evening and within easy walking distance of the house we're hoping to buy. Couldn't be better.

I think perhaps I expected too much from my visit. I had the crab starter, tasty but small. Then we shared a cote de beuf. I was surprised neither the waiter nor the kitchen staff knew what breed the steak was. It was cooked to perfection with a great crust but rather grizzly and a bit tough. Can't blame the restaurant for this, but I do think serving balsamic glazed shallots on tops is a mistake as it overly influences the flavour of the meat. The wine was an average tasting malbec, and I have had much better at a similar price point. One further observation, the steak knives were possibly the worst I have ever used. I might have been better off with a butter knife. I'm glad I checked it off my list of places to visit.

We saw good reviews for this place and gave it a go. It was amazing - from the friendly greeting as we stepped in, to the excellent attentive service throughout. You actually feel like they want you there and are glad you came. The menu was simple but inviting - they have a set menu which includes a drink and can be for two or three course. They also have a-la-carte. The place is bright and airy - no dark nooks and musty smells - it's modern and fresh in appearance. Our starters, pre-meal snack, mains and desserts were a taste sensation. My wife and I had the comfit duck and it was excellent. I actually stuck my head into the kitchen and thanked the chef afterwards. My dessert of chocolate gateau is one of the tastiest I have ever had. Not ruined by fruit - it is just chocolate and flavour. They do include a service charge into the bill but I told them it was too little to reflect my enjoyment and so I added more on. We will return.

We do like Farmyard, but with all the choices now in the city realised we hadn’t been for nearly a year. It was just as good as always with a fantastic menu with tastes matching the incredible blending of flavours. There is still a decent wine list able to suit all pockets & palates. Service was as always slick and appropriately paced with the open kitchen still very interesting to watch. It was very busy and with the low ceiling quite noisy but it is good to see the restaurant ‘back to normal’. We’ll certainly be back, but sooner than before.

This restaurant is in a quiet street in the medieval part of the city. Our waiter Bianca was welcoming and attentive and the menu was seasonal. The food was very fresh and deliciously cooked in imaginative ways. Beautifully presented too. Perfect place to catch up...

Me and my partner visited the other day. I had the Cod and it was delicious! The atmosphere was great, we both had a wonderful time. Our waitress Charn was helpful, polite and very informative, she helped make the experience. Would 1000% reccomend!

Loved this restaurant. We had the 3 course meal, food was amazing, we found ourselves picking out all the elements of each course and discussing how they complimented each other! Decor and ambience really nice. Our waitress Charn was just so genuinely nice and helpful....

Had the two course set menu with sides and on the way home had to get coffee and donuts because we were still hungry. Small portions and stringy bits in the chicken terrine. Won't be going there again

Without any shed of doubt, the restaurant is one of the best in Norfolk. Exceptionally very nice food, presentation, quality and quantity at reasonable price with excellent service.

I've been twice now and both times I've had one of their wraps. Once a lamb and the other a chicken. Both times the food has been fresh, hot and tasty. Only piece of feedback I have is to give the chilli sauce more heat! I want top feel some heat!

Not sure where to start but it was a very disappointing experience. The food took ages to arrive , and when it did the chicken schnitzel had to be sent back because it was RAW! Mistakes can happen sure, but this level of mistake for a professional kitchen is difficult to forgive. Although we were partially compensated with a free round of drinks, overall the food was disappointing. The burgers were dry, the meat platter utterly tasteless and lacking in imagination, the tartiflett the least authentic I've ever seen, and mussels swimming in an ocean of wishy washy liquid.
