Definitely a gimmick, food is overpriced and underwhelming. Burgers don't come with fries and are an additional charge. Very unclean, didn't see any tables being wiped and the amount of dirt/food between the planks of the table showed just how overdue a deep clean was

Opening weekend, Saturday night. Meant to have 3 vendors but only 1 was there and the app didn’t even work so went without food. £8 for a double vodka. Half the mixers unavailable. Didn’t even have Lemonade, it was basically Coke or Apple Juice. Won’t be returning unless they can prove to improve the place which is a shame because it’s a nice venue in summer. 👎

My friend and I booked for 5pm on the Friday and when we showed up we were told that the electricity wasn't working so that we couldn't enter yet, this didn't make total sense as all the lights were on. Staff could be seen moving tables around so it seemed more likely that they just hadn't set up in time and was stalling with a different excuse. We were told it would only be 10 minutes to wait before we could be seated, which was okay - not too long to wait. However, that 10 minute wait turned into a 50 minute one, standing in the cold as they didn't let us wait inside one of the tents. Towards the end of this time, staff did bring out free cans of drink and beer, which was a nice gesture. Inside the actual tents, the aesthetic is nice and the lights are pretty and give cosy vibes. But it was very cold, even inside. We ordered our food and the discount code for their soft launch went though. Everything seemed good and well. However, they have changed their system so that you need to go and collect your food yourself. After ordering, my friends was ready in a matter of minutes (she got the pork fries) and went to collect it. Upon coming back she realised that she had no fork so went to look for one - she asked the a staff member who simply told her "ask the vendors" - she did, none had forks. She went back to a different staff member, Ola, who was very helpful and attentive and helped look for one. They did not have any forks for their soft launch event - just wooden knifes. By time she'd gone around all the vendors asking for a fork, her food had gotten cold and she still had no fork to eat it with. Staff rectified this again by allowing her to get a burger instead free of charge so she could eat it with her hands. They brought the burger too our table this time. In the time all this happened, I was still waiting for my food, from the burger vendor too. The webpage kept flicking between the countdown timer and processing. After 30 minutes had passed since my order, I went up to the vendor to inquire but they didn't care to acknowledge me. At this point, I turned around to speak to a general staff member. Ola attended to me too, and tried to help me solve the issue. When we got to the vendor, he asked him to go and fetch him some till roll in not a very nice tone. As he'd come over to help me, he was about to comminate about the issue with my order but the vendor was rude and told him to do it now. As he walked off the vendor yelled "####ing run" at him, which is not how you treat a colleague. They did speak to me after this and cooked up my order in the matter of a minute. The food was pretty good and tasty but unsure I'd pay full price for it. Overall, it was a negative experience sadly, and the change with having to walk up to the vendors to get the food yourself isn't very good - especially when its cold and you don't have anybody who can stay at the table as my friend and I had to take our drinks with us when collecting food due to the obvious fact you shouldn't leave your drinks unattended. Furthermore, if you don't have data or a lot of it - you shouldn't come here as you have to order online via QR code and with their new system you'll need to keep that tab open until you get the green light to collect it. We hoped the soft launch and renovation would have been a good experience, as we had a negative one back in December 2023 too at Junk Yard, but sadly not much had changed and it still wasn't positive. However, massive shoutout to Ola. He is a great staff member, and helped with the issues we had with both our food. Such a friendly gent.

*EDIT 2/3/24* Just been back for opening week. Well, nothing has changed (apart from the fact that you now have to go and collect your own food when it's ready. And they've turned the heating off). Only 3 vendors. Rib Man had a small or large ribmeat roll. Whallop had a cheeseburger or cheeseburger with bacon (in POTATO rolls???). Bossman had a veggie kebab or a meat kebab. Absolutely appalling. We left without ordering. This was the last chance we were prepared to give Junkyard. We won't be back. EVER. Junkyard, would you like a tip? Shut down. For good. Changing the name from "Junkyard Market" to "Pop up Stalls" doesn't hide the fact that 2023's change of management has completely ruined this place. *EDIT* Just visited again 31/12/23 Really disappointed that only half of the advertised vendors are here. Booked because we had family up from Dorset and had told them great things about Junkyard. But now we feel really let down. What we had from the Greekery was nice, but we feel like we were almost forced into having it. We'll definitely think twice before coming again.

Unfortunately, my experience at Junkyard Market was disappointing. Despite booking a table for their soft launch for 5pm, I ended up waiting for a full hour in the cold before being seated. Although I was initially told the wait would only be 10 minutes, it stretched much longer. However, the gesture of offering free drinks was appreciated. The reason given for the delay was an electrical issue, but the lighting and vendor booths seemed fine, raising doubts about the explanation. Additionally, when I inquired about allergy information due to my dairy allergy, I was initially ignored by staff and later made to feel uncomfortable for asking. Although I eventually received the information, the interaction was unpleasant. I got my food but realised I had no utensils. I searched for them in the Teepee where I was sitting but found only a packet of forks. I asked staff member Heather where to find more, she said the vendors should have provided them. I asked all the vendors individually, but none had any forks. Then I asked Ola, who said he'd try to help and asked for my table number. He came back to say there were no forks available. I appreciated his effort, it was clear the issue was due to poor management and not front of house staffs. I asked if I could have another meal that didn't need a fork since my food had gotten cold during the 20+ minute search. He kindly brought me a burger. During this my friend still hadn't recieved her food, and Ola kindly offered to help her out, as she was being ignored by food vendors staff. The atmosphere of the Teepee was nice however it was cold. I would like to end this review with a thank you to staff member Ola, a kind guy who did his best to help both my friend and I out.

Booked in as a group of 10 for a friends birthday, drove an hour to get here. After finally finding somewhere to sit half of us managed to order food and then the other half where unable to since they ran out of stock. How they allow people to book when they can’t accommodate for the amount of people that arrive is beyond me. Definitely will not be coming back 👎

I would do no star - Used to be a great place to go for a meal. Sadly today's experienced tainted that - long, long wait for a family members drink (40+ minutes) food taking over 30 minutes and toilets being absolutely filthy with no soap in for washing your hands... --- Update --- Downgraded to 1 star due to customer service... As per below by Junkyard I was informed to email in and they offered me an apology as Junkyard is under new service (Anna) and a £20 voucher. I responded to the first email that we would like to accept and try again.. no response at all. It's just not the way you treat potential customers. Sadly one of the best places to eat in Norwich is falling apart and will end up closing.. I was willing to delete this review upon a revisit. But looking at other reviews the owner has responded to other reviews since my email, so why was my email repeatidly at the bottom of the pile?????? Customer satisfaction is NOT their priority.. disgusting.

They changed the name to hide bad reviews, but yes this is Junkyard Market. The yorkie wraps aren't amazing tbh. Lukewarm meat, soggy slices of potato. They also let you make bookings when they're closed and don't give you warning until a couple days before you're due to be there, so maybe don't book here for special events. Tried contacting them but they're very rude on social media 😬

Went last week for dinner, was looking forward to it all week and when we arrived we were very disappointed. Only 2 food vendors available with one having very few options on the menu 3 of them being: mayo, ketchup and salt and pepper. Almost no soft drinks available only apple juice or coke zero. Left and had dinner elsewhere in the end, what a waste of time.

Definitely lost its spark. Very limited food options (far less than advertised on socials), took 45 minutes to arrive and it was obvious the food had been sitting around for a while. Had gravy spilt over us and was never cleaned up. Toilets were blocked and overflowing, had no loo roll, or the toilet seat was broken. Such a shame because it used to be a great place to meet up with friends.

Me and my partner love Junkyard. Amazing food choices and cocktails are to die for. Staff are always very friendly and the place is kept clean. It can get a bit pricey- for two dinners and cocktails for the time slot we’d spent £120 so it’s definitely a treat however well worth it. The convenience of being able to order via QR is great. Only thing is it would be nice to have more reserved seating options.

a group of us came here for a meal however when we arrived at 8 the time of our booking they told us they had run out of a couple of options of food, when we went to order we found out that they had actually run out of the majority of the food and there was only one main option and two sides , we were disappointed with the small variety of food as more options are advertised on instagram than they actually have at the venue ,we decided to just order some chips as we didn’t like any of the others once we ordered these we then waited an hour for them to arrive but they never arrived so we gave up and left In addition to this when we were ordering drinks there was coke available as a soft drink but not as a mixer 🤷♀️, we asked three members of staff and none of them could give us an answer and went to find someone to help but never came back . Another bad thing was that the app didn’t work and would delete your basket and also kept not showing the checkout option so we spent 10 minutes just trying to check out . Its especially bad as you have to pay a £20 deposit to book so they know how many people to expect so why aren’t they ordering in enough food to serve 🤦♀️

Having enjoyed an evening here in warmer months decided to give the Christmas theme a go. Sat in the big teepee to try to stay a bit warmer as it was really cold on the night. Staff were quick to clear tables. Ordered our food around 7.20pm however things had already sold out and there were only two vendors showing on the website to order from, the cheese wheel and the loaded fries vendors. The Yorky vendor didn’t show up on the website until approx 8pm, and the dessert vendor was even later to appear on there. Our table ordered pasta first but didn’t feel the portion was quite enough so proceeded to order loaded fries too. Both the pasta and chips weren’t hot. They were cold on the outside and barely lukewarm in the middle. The mozzarella and sundried tomatoes in the pasta were actually refrigerator temperature cold, so the heat of the pasta hadn’t/couldn’t warm them up in the bowl. The only item that was actually came out hot was the crumble. Shame really, it was all a bit disappointing. The food was ok, but just ok, and for the prices charged you’d at least expect hot food, not barely lukewarm. Also the lack of choice at such a peak time on a Saturday night was disappointing too, particularly if vegetarian.

Been visiting junkyard for over a year now quite regularly but the past 2 times we have left without eating due to there being so little vendors (less than advertised) and what vendors they did have only had 1 or at a push 2 items left available. Would not expect vendors to be sold out at 19:30 on a Saturday night. Really disappointed. Trying to find somewhere else to eat at short notice on a Saturday night is a nightmare.

I’ve tried to contact junk yard via email to which I’ve had no reply I booked a table for 11 people on Sunday and we had to leave as only two vendors open with only 1 vegetarian option.. this was a special occasion for two birthdays… when I approached a member of staff I was told there was a problem and they thought they could muddle through and later bookings had been contacted as they were having to close early… I then had to find somewhere for 11 of us to dine for Sunday lunch… totally understand that issues arise but if you can’t deliver the service you promote then you should let your customers know… incredibly disappointing and inconvenient!!!!!

We had a table booked for 6 people at 1900, 30/09/23. Rushed to get there on time as the email confirmation stated the table would only be held for 10 minutes - arrived on time & was checked in by a young lady, we could see that the venue appeared to be quiet & when we commented on it the lady replied with - “IT IS QUIET TONIGHT, I DON’T KNOW WHY BUT BE MINDFUL THAT YOUR FOOD ORDERS WILL ARRIVE MUCH QUICKER AS A RESULT”. This seemed to be good news, so we entered the Tipi - which was completely empty & took a table! When seated we ordered a round of drinks & then looked at the food options - which were from only two vendors, one doing Chicken Wings & Tacos - the second vendor was doing chocolate desserts! So to say the food options were limited would be an understatement, unfortunately for us, we’d already ordered the drinks & so had to stay for them whilst attempting to find another place to eat for 6 people on a Saturday night or mission impossible, as its better known! The question being why this wasn’t raised when the booking was made or at very least when we arrived? Needless to say we won’t be going again, very disappointing! So thanks for nothing!

We went today, we parked in anglia square to walk down. I had my grandma who has difficulty walking and had traveled from Downham market to come. We were a booking of 11 people and when we arrived there was only one food vendor open. Unfortunately it wasn’t suitable for any of our dietary needs so we had to leave. Really disappointed that we were not notified or a quick post wasn’t put on instagram to make customers aware. Staff were polite and sorry however. Disappointed as heard great things and it looks like a good place.

Went on a quiet Saturday night. Ordered on the app. Drinks were from the same place but arrived 15 minutes between and we had to chase them. We ordered food from different places so expected them to arrive separately but a wait of 50 minutes was a bit excessive, especially as there were not that many people. The gravy from the gravy sandwich place was disappointing and very watery. Korean chicken burger was good. The chocolate bar baker desserts were amazing and saved this from being a 2 star review. Such a shame as when this first opened it was great, but it just felt tired and run down this time.

My first time at Junkyard. Really enjoyed the food and the quirky seating. I'm in my 30s so also enjoyed ordering on an app, although it's easy to spend a lot of money! I have 3 bits of feedback for the team though: 1) Please clean up the seating. We arrived at 1pm and sat in the ski lift booth and it had rubbish in there 2) The toilets. 3 out of the 4 female toilets were blocked with toilet paper and poo (some girls were literally refusing to use them). Again, being at the start of service, I was surprised they were in that state. The one that wasn't blocked, did not have a working lock. 3) Coke! You ran out of coke that day which is a bit poor. Probably one of the most popular soft drinks. There were practically no soft drinks available that day. Separately, I've heard that you guys are poor at paying the vendors. I really hope that isn't true, because that's grossly unfair.

First time visit and will go back for sure. A wide choice of food as well. We tried the wings, burger, bao buns loaded fries. Salted/chilli wings were basically plain breaded chicken without a salt or chilli flavour, but the rest of our choices were great. For desert we tried rocky road, strawberry marshmallow and lemon Eaton mess. All were very nice as well. Overall, recommended, food does change as different vendors arrive. Staff were very overworked with little time to interact with customers though.

Food is overpriced and small portions. It's also not the best quality street food. The photos on social media are quite misleading of the food. We had eaten all our food and our friend was still waiting for hers for over an hour. Some drinks were bought out quickly others took ages, we got fed up of waiting for our pints so went up to the bar and they were just sat there. Staff were not on the ball, kept bringing other people's food and drinks to our table. It was pretty dead for a Friday night, don't think it will be around for much longer unless they sort out wait times, staff training, quality and price of food and cleanliness - table was dirty as were the toilets. Not good.

Such a disappointment 😒 as the concept of different street food vendors and a huge choice of drinks, the place looks amazing quirky a good vibe and great tunes 🤩 went Friday 11th August with a large group of friends it took at least 45mins to an hour to get a drink ordered my last drink after an hour of waiting I went to the bar showed my receipt on my phone to be told it had got lost !!! Ordered the chicken giros & chips it took over 2 hours to come when it arrived the chicken was inedible (overcooked) and cold , the chips were hot but over salted so in the end ate nothing . Though we did speak to various servers they apologised for the wait constantly but still the service did not improve … what is sad that this potentially amazing drinking & eating place will go out of Business very soon as the service experience is awful. I have since spoken to a few people who also echo what I say about the wait times for food and drinks and would not return. It’s with a heavy heart to write this review but I hope the feedback will be taken and acted upon to bring customers back

Awful food that is extremely overpriced. Stale and tasteless. Sides were the same as mains. Some peoples food came straight away and others had to wait and hour and a half for theirs. Cocktails tasted absolutely awful, I’m sure there was no alcohol in them. I’m not a fussy person but this was dreadful. My husband felt ill the next day.

It has been a long long time since I've had an experience as poor as you get at junkyard. It's a great concept with so much potential that just doesn't even nip at the heels of a good venue. The food took a very long time. Over an hour wait for a pizza. The quality of the pizza was through the floor. You're better off with Tesco's own brand. The donuts are an insult to donuts. They were made fresh but somehow undercooked and overcooked at the same time. You order everything via an app, there's no one to complain to or request a refund. All staff can't help with anything. You simply get a reply about them being separate to the vendor and to do it all via the app which only offers the service of making purchases. Someone I was with waited almost two hours for a diet coke to arrive. Abysmal experience. The food is very overpriced and I feel very sick today. Will definitely recommend people stay away.

Nice food but not a lot of choice considering what's shown on the website

Dystopian 1 and a half hour wait for food from a glorified hipster food van. Unbelievable. And perhaps more shockingly you could only order through an APP. You literally couldn't walk up to the bar and order drinks. Everything was electronic. If you don't have a smartphone no food and drinks for you. Is this the dystopian future that you think is cool? Never again

If you love waiting 15 minutes for a beer. No VAT receipt. No one knows what’s going on with your order. Then my friend. This is the place for you.

We have been at this venue several times, great up until tonight. Food not brought to the table, asked for receipts, yet no receipts sent??? Hardly any options of vendors tonight. Long wait for food and drinks, a shame, we won’t be back.

Food and cocktails nice, just a shame the food doesn't come out altogether. Defo recommend going

This is a great find.... Order food and drink via the QR code on your table..... Different vendors bring your orders... It was great... There are some covered seating areas and plenty outside..... Google maps doesn't take you to the entrance... I have added photos but the entrance is through St Mary's House and works carpark off Duke Street, although there is no signage at all to indicate the Junkyard Market is down there ....

unfortunately myself and family had the worst experience Friday 28th July at junkyard, we have been several times before but this time has made us not want to return. We ordered drinks and food at the same time, we had some of the food brought over, 2 drinks brought over but the rest of the drinks never arrived so after an hour I went to the bar to collect, saw lots of other people doing this too. One vendor had ran out of food options so we ordered something else, this still didn’t arrive after half hour so we asked to cancel it and get a refund. A few staff looked like they were just wondering round not really knowing what they were doing. The doughnuts we got for desert were awful, really really hard and crispy. It wasn’t a cheap night out so to have had such a disappointing experience is upsetting.

im not impressed at all. For starters, it took about 5 minutes getting a single person seated, with no queue. When I was seated I noticed tables had not been cleaned for quite obviously a while. the ordering system is clever however I watched many meals get sent back for being incorrect. food was served in strange ways eg. Cups without any cutlery or serviettes, and I had to ask and saw others asking. Floor was also dirty, saw a used plaster (picture below). there was an employee who used her bare hand to empty a waste bin as bin bag had been forgotten before waste was put inside, she then continued to serve food without washing hands, yuck. Food itself wasn’t bad on the whole however meat was a little soggy. Overall wasn’t a great experience and wouldn’t go back.

Can’t fault the food and drinks from various vendors especially the Jubel beer selection but the cleanliness was not great. The tables were dirty and hadn’t been wiped down. They were sticky and the floor was filthy. Lots of staff emptying bins with no gloves and walking round with bin bags. I had to go in search of cutlery and napkins. The toilets were clean but I think all but 2 cubicles in the ladies were out of order and one of those had a broken lock. Have been here a few times before and loved it but tonight the cleanliness was really bad.

Great food choices. A variety of vendors. Interesting places to dine. We selected an old team car.

This a great outdoor food market that is brilliant for groups. We come here often as a group of friends to celebrate birthdays and other celebrations. It’s very easy to order using the QR code on the table and there is so many choices to pick from. The food here is incredible and even the bar is very good. I particularly love the flavoured beers they have on tap here. Service is always friendly, just sometimes they can be a bit slow bringing your meal to you but it’s understandable as it’s always busy. The outdoor areas are all very clean and look amazing. Price is on the more expensive side, but again it’s worth paying for as it’s an experience you don’t get anywhere else in Norwich. Highly recommend.

Such a shame. Vendors that are marketed as being there this weekend no available. Not able to order water!!! Food most definitely average at best. Gone down hill (fast)

Drinks took a very long time to deliver, one order over 1 hr until we threatened to leave. Table for 12 booked and not set up, we set our own tables together. Food was no better quality than a burger place. The venue was at least interesting looking. Closed early for soft drinks and food. Would not recommend.

Good atmosphere, great concept and layout. Had some issues with the website not wanting to receive payment and service on drinks was very hit n miss. Ordered a beer which took 25 mins to appear, though 2nd one arrived less than 5 mins after ordering. Winginit wings were also delicious and smothered in sauce. Also don't expect to all eat at the same time, my food came 15 mins before my partners did. Bathrooms (within portable cabins) could also maybe do with a bit of a deep clean.

All the points in the negative reviews are spot on & there's no one at all managing the overall experience. Norwich market has better standards.

50/50 on this one , not the best selection of food , but I like the atmosphere, I had chicken wings and my daughter had a burger , food came over 10 mins apart as from different vendors which is slightly awkward , so unsure if I'd return , soft drinks are very overpriced too

To be honest I've had better burgers and they are expensive for what you get, £3.50 for a small pot of fries, seats are hard benches with no cushions and no shade, the only bit that had shade was full ( it was a hot day) didn't stay as long as we had planned as it was not comfortable to sit on the hard benches. Tried it to see what the fuss was about, won't recommend and will not be going again

Food ok if you get any ! But staff are clueless , ordered and paid for food to be told later the vendor had gone home. Still waiting for my refund 4 weeks later. When I contacted them they were just rude and patronising. I’ve had to open a fraud case against The Junkyard with my bank. Terrible place run by complete idiots .

Booked table for 7pm, expected to be very busy but was okay. Food ordering on the app was a bit of a faff but eventually got the order on. Food and drinks came quickly and we're good, expensive for what it was. Food vibe, could have done with a few more staff to clear down tables and tidy up.

Recommended by my son, today was my first visit. Great idea and plenty of room to sit. Liked the ordering by QR code and the food and drink we ordered arrived quickly. Will definitely visit again

Was recommended this place so we gave it a try. Average food was expensive. No atmosphere. Everything ordered on app so dehumanising. Avoid not worth it.

Dinner! Cold Wings, a tasteless burger That’s a nope! Off to five guys to experience flavour! Dinner! Joking aside, eaten here a fair few times, but yesterday was a real let down. Resulting in asking for a refund. The manager was excellent and explained a food vendor had not turned up adding extra strain to the vendors on site. But unfortunately that had resulted in 3 bad meals and enough was enough. Damage done

Junkyard has downhill massively based on my experience tonight. Needs new management. Happy to have a chat in person about the experience my friends and I have had tonight. It was a shambles from start to finish. Me and my 11 friends won't be recommending this or coming back. Thanks.

Food was sold out by 6.30 so ended up having to go elsewhere for food. Ordered a double rum and only got a single and even that drink took 25 minutes to arrive

Turned up with 8 people food wait time was 45 minutes across the board even though it was quiet. I had 3 beers dropped on my lap shortly after arriving, do not bother.

The atmosphere is amazing. Infection, I was overwhelmed when I got to there. Guys, this is an amazing concept of eatery. Although I didn't eat but I believe it would have been out of this world.

I’ve been buying Krispy Kreme pre-pandemic, but now their stores are only taking card payments to ensure “customer efficiency”. Yet, upon walking past this branch recently, they had a Pride flag saying “Everyone is welcome here”. Doubt that includes customers who prefer, on only able, to pay by cash, regardless of sexuality. One can buy their donuts with cash via their in-store cabinets, but I feel doing so would be supporting their business (not bought from Krispy Kreme since Nov 22).

Lovely little pub to visit, the mangers was so friendly and welcoming ❤️ luved the feeling off sitting beside the fire and feeling the warmth from it, it gave u the feeling of feeling very cosy and homely would definitely recommend a visit to the gibraltar gardens 😊

A dog came in with a family and my daughter said dogs weren’t g allowed in Costa! I have a dog myself and don’t have a problem with a dog in a coffee shop , however when it sits on a chair that I people are going to sit on, then I do have a problem. Dogs smell and this is not acceptable.

Food never arrived. Restaurant wouldn't answer the phone. Still waiting to hear back from the company 2 days later.
