Norwich Theatre royal cafe in Norwich

We had a great evening with delicious food, friendly and efficient service and a good atmosphere in the restaurant. It’s really useful to have the table for the whole evening for interval drinks and the prices were reasonable too.

We had a beautiful meal and our waitress was charming, polite and helpful, we were table 4 and she deserves a mention. Absolutely marvellous restaurant and theatre experience. The food was exceptional.

Our first visit since the revamp and we weren’t disappointed. The food was beautifully presented & very flavoursome; service was slick and appropriately timed by young, friendly & efficient staff. It was spotlessly clean with a good ambience, so a great way to start your night at the theatre.

Delicious and beautifully presented food. Lovely surroundings and friendly helpful staff. Very good value. Will definitely visit again!

Nice restaurant to have a meal before the theatre. The food is good and the price very reasonable. Buzzy atmosphere with good friendly service.

Esta fue la primera vez que visitamos este restaurante y pudimos decir que fue una experiencia decepcionante.La comida estaba bien, aparte de la hamburguesa de bistec que estaba muy seca y poco atractiva, pero lo que nos sorprendió fue el servicio al cliente de nuestra camarera. Su actitud no era la que cabría esperar de tal establecimiento. Para rematar, ella se equivocó en la factura tres veces sin disculparse. Solo un comentario de "llegamos al final". Ciertamente no se apresuraría a volver ni lo recomendaría.

Esta es la primera vez que he comido en el nuevo restaurante restaurado que está dentro del teatro. Estupendo por tener una sonrisa y una cálida bienvenida al entrar, el personal fue excelente durante toda la noche y mantener nuestra mesa para el intervalo de bebidas, es perfecto.Tuve el pollo con puré de hierbas delicioso. Muy recomendable para una noche perfecta en el teatro, sin estrés.

Focaccia pizza con asado vegatable y ensalada era horrible. Grandes trozos de focaccia seca y algunas verduras (pimiento y berenjena) encima con lechuga poco imaginativa y ensalada de tomate. Papas fritas muy saladas como guarnición, la única característica redentora fue un excelente tazón de aceitunas. Ni siquiera conseguimos nuestra jarra de agua rellenada. Tomó bastante tiempo llegar a considerar el poco trabajo que se realizó y un restaurante casi vacío. Duda que encontraremos una razón para regresar a pesar del 10% de descuento al presentar una queja.

Nuestra primera visita al nuevo Preludio en Theatre Royal.Excelente en todos los sentidos.El personal de la recepción fue muy atento y, aunque hubo uno o dos problemas de dentición que es comprensible en un nuevo restaurante, nuestra experiencia fue de primera clase. El pago fue lento, ya que solo había una máquina de tarjetas y el problema de la puerta con respecto a la cocina era nuestro único problema.Ponga esas dos cosas justo antes de nuestra próxima visita y una calificación de cinco estrellas se logrará fácilmente.La comida era deliciosa y nuestros pudines y cafés nos estaban esperando prometidos en el intervalo.El nuevo deco es ahora una ubicación realmente estupenda.Gracias por hacernos tan bienvenidos y por sumarnos a la gran experiencia teatral que tuvimos.Muchas gracias de todos y sigan con el gran trabajo.

Food very slow to arrive. A couple of waitresses looked as if they didn't want to be there - didn't smile once. Ordered Appletisers - when arrived they were clearly NOT Appletisers as tasted completely different and were wrong colour. Very small glassful too. We had 2 courses for 18.00. Soup was lovely but 1 arrived without bread - another without butter. Soon rectified. I had the roast chicken which was tough and had no flavour. Took ages to attract a waitress to ask for more water. Allowed over an hour but ran out of time for a dessert due to slow service. Not much atmosphere or décor - quite impersonal.

We had the new xmas menu 2 courses for £18.00 .nice brie tarts for starters and salmon for mains.The fennel was slightly under cooked but the meal was overall quite good. The service was pleasant but food was slow to arrive. Coffee and a mince pie was included in the price.We though the room was bland and lacked atmosphere.

We went to Kemps before the Pantomime , the food was of good quality and service was good our waiter was Luke who was very friendly.

We came with a group of ten for a family Christmas meal before the panto. We arrived at 12.45 with the show starting at 2:30. The staff were friendly and attentive. We would say the only negative is a very long wait for the staff to take our food order after delivery the drinks, then another fairly long wait for the food to arrive. We allowed almost two hours for the meal before the panto started and still didn’t have time for desert due to the slow service, we didn’t mind that much but the restaurant lost money because of this. Sadly because it was Christmas Eve there wasn’t the option to have desert at the interval. The chefs wanted to get away and rightly so, who wants to hang around on Christmas Eve ! Having said all that the food was great and we will be back because it’s a nice relaxed atmosphere. Just beware if you pop in for lunch as I have done in the past with my wife that you need to alllow enough time and not be in a hurry. Next time we will just allow more time.

Although we werent going to the pantomine, we booked for our Christmas meal here. £18.95 for two courses or £23.95 for three. I didnt like anything on the starters menu so just had a drink while the others had thers. I had ordered the Christmas Turkey meal, good slices of turkey, stuffing, but the roast potatoes were totally white and the pigs in blankets was pretty anemic too. Vegetables came in a seperate dish and shared between us, not bad, quite crunchy how I like them. Ordered Christmas pudding for dessert and it had been microwaved, but sadly the custard was cold. Coffee and mince pie finished off the meal, but the mince pie was bite size and eaten in one go! Wouodnt go again, but atmosphere was good and the crackers were excellent with little Christmas decorations in each.

Went for pre theatre dinner b4 ross noble limited menu vegetarians well catered for we are not so bit limited both had haddock dish to start it was warm and not sure if contributed to making my wife sick later on in evening and myself having bad guts all night, did spoil the night but obviously not be sure this was the factor but only thing we both had throughout the day. Sorry but do like to be honest as can with all my reviews.mains I had the burger wife had chicken and desserts, ginger pudding and brulee, all my food was warm not really hot as would of expected bit like it had come a far way not sure how far kitchen is ? Had a wine and beer,bill just a tad under 60 pound so not bad and service was ok saw on menu says about table being yours all night so available for interval but not told about this or asked if we wanted to order interval drinks which maybe could be addressed,don't think would use again as plenty of better places close by at similar costs.shame as could be much much better.

We normally go to the Assembly House for pre-theatre dinning but thought we would give Kemps a try. It was OK but nothing special, it's quiet small & the tables a little close together but it is reasonably good value; the atmosphere is more café style than restaurant & the seating/tables are rather old fashioned. The staff were pleasant & service prompt & attentive, the food was mostly good but nothing special. I had the crispy prawn starter & pork belly main; the starter was excellent as was the pork belly & accompanying vegetables but the noodles were over cooked & very disappointing & the BBQ sauce very sweet & sickly, I left over half uneaten on my plate. The restaurant was fully booked on our visit so it must be popular with theatre goers, it could become a very nice venue with a little investment & more attention to detail on the food.

We have been to the restaurant many times before and this meal was better that ever the service was five star As was the meal

Simple and not posh but you can get a wholesome hot meal from the buffet for a tenner. It's also handy for ordering drinks for the interval and they'll have them waiting for you on a tray!

Esta fue nuestra primera vez comiendo en Kemp's Restaurant, visitamos antes de ver a Miss Saigon y fue una forma encantadora de disfrutar la noche. Es una sensación agradable saber que la mesa es suya por la noche, y puede pedir bebidas y postres que estarán listos para esperar durante el intervalo.El personal era amable y nos cuidó, la comida se servía en un buen momento y estaba muy bien temática con platos vietnamitas para la actuación de la noche. Tuve el entrante crujiente de gambas, y acabo de dejar una estrella para el plato principal - tuve la lubina, que aunque encantadora, con la verdura y el arroz debajo tenía solo una pequeña cantidad de salsa que hizo esto bastante seco. Las bebidas también eran un poco caros, que fue una pena. Teníamos el brownie para el postre, que era mágico.Me alegraría volver a visitar, una experiencia encantadora.

Pre comida antes de ver a Miss Saigon.Me encanta el hecho de que obtienes la mesa toda la noche. Hace que la ocasión sea más especial. Servicio muy atento y amable, aunque el restaurante estaba lleno.El menú obviamente se centró en la actuación ya que había bastantes platos vietnamitas.Mucha variedad en el menú de verduras.Hubiera dado 5 estrellas pero me pareció que las bebidas eran muy caros. 5. 50 para un vaso mediano de color blanco. : (

Reservamos una mesa antes de ver a Miss Saigon y tuvimos un buen comienzo para una noche maravillosa. Mi marido tenía tarta de queso de cabra para empezar seguido de panza de trabajo. . . Tuve hamburguesas y patatas fritas y los dos nos comimos creme brulée para el postre. . . todo regado con un delicioso merlot. El servicio fue excelente y el personal muy atento. La comida estaba bien presentada y tenía un precio razonable.Definitivamente regresaremos El Show fue increíble también. En general, una experiencia maravillosa.

Antes de ver a la señorita Saigón, reservé la cena para mi esposa y para mí. El restaurante estaba lleno de gente que hacía lo mismo, lo que podría explicar por qué el servicio era demasiado lento: 30 minutos entre el arranque y el principal. La comida estaba bien y bien de precio. La atracción principal es poder retener su asiento para el intermedio cuando puede tomar su postre, té / café o refrigerios. Muy conveniente pero un poco apresurado en 15 minutos. A pesar de las pequeñas reservas, definitivamente haré lo mismo otra vez.

Comimos aquí antes de ver a la señorita Saigon en el Teatro Real.La mejor característica es que efectivamente obtienes la mesa para la noche. Puede tomar su comida antes del teatro, ver la primera mitad del espectáculo y luego volver a su mesa en el restaurante para sus bebidas de intervalo pre - ordenadas. Mucho más conveniente que el enamoramiento en el bar.Tuvimos la comida de dos platos y mi entrante de pollo satay era realmente bastante bueno.Ambos tuvimos lubina para nuestros platos principales y estaba bien, excepto que se sirve con arroz hizo que el plato un poco seco porque no había salsa.Sin duda le daremos al restaurante otra oportunidad porque la comida fue buena, el vino muy bueno y toda la experiencia mucho mejor que buscar bebidas y asientos durante el intervalo.

Visited for a snack / tea / coffee. All a little too much to make an effort. First and last visit. Place lacks any atmosphere.

No sé Norwich, así que estaba buscando en los restaurantes de Google cerca del Teatro Real y se encontró con Kemps. Reservar una mesa que es todo tuyo para el rendimiento que estás allí para ver solo hace que la noche. La bonificación fue el excelente menú a un precio muy razonable. Por fin encontré una panceta cocida lenta que era tan buena como puedo. En su mayoría decepcionado, pero esto fue bueno. Esposa muy contenta con su pez. La única crítica es la misma que la mayoría de los restaurantes fue el precio del vino. Un buen vino de la casa no necesita ser 3 veces el precio de un supermercado.

Bueno para conocer a la familia antes de la ópera. La comida es inglés estándar y porciones y calidad de buen tamaño. Buena selección de vino Sauvingnon Blanc servido.El personal hace todo lo posible para que funcione para usted.Lo mejor es tener la tabla guardada para ti durante el intervaloSiempre reservar aquí cuando tengo amigos / famiy visita. ¡Especialmente bueno para una familia con niños y los tienes "contenidos" en la mesa! Todos los camareros atentos a los más pequeños.

A 6pm meal before the performance at 7.30pm. Decent selection on the menu at reasonable prices. Helpful staff - aware that we were on a time limit. But what was best of all, our booking allowed us the reservation of the table for the interval as well: so we could finish off our meal with dessert and a drink during the twenty-minute interval. A very relaxing way to enjoy the whole theatre experience. But I understand that you do need to book this facility well in advance, though it wasn't too busy the evening we were there for The Marriage of Figaro. Much enjoyed: I am happy to recommend it.

Visited Kemp’s as seeing ART at the theatre. Both my mum and I are vegetarians, we had 2 course meal for £18 both had the goats cheese starter which was very nice but small portion. Mum had the Spinach and ricotta filo parcels very disappointed these had obviously not been freshly made as were soggy and hard to cut with little ricotta inside mostly spinach. I had the Thai curry with rice, 2 florets of cauliflower, 6 half baby button mushrooms and some thinly sliced pepper rice over cooked and 6 cold greasy prawn crackers. Complained but all the waiter said was ‘We’ve never had complaints before’. Will not be going back

We have usually gone to the Assembly rooms for pre theatre dinners but due to a couple of disappointing meals we decided to try Kemps. What a lucky find! Great friendly service from when we arrived...early because of the snow... this was not a problem . we were made to feel very welcome. A bonus was having the table for the entire evening allowing us to miss the throng at the bar.Food was very good and reasonably priced. We will definitely book it again.

We had a very good, tasty meal here before watching a play at the theatre. There was a little area for leaving our coats until after the play so we did need to keep them at our seats. The waitress and staff were very attentive and the speed of service was good. We particularly liked being able to leave our last glass of wine at our table until the interval and then to have coffee ready for us too, excellent!

Had a lovely meal here prior to the theatre Friday evening. Firstly a massive thank you to Chris Stone for accommodating us so much prior to our visit. We weren’t sure if we would make it by 6pm and were able to pre order our food as we were likely to arrive at 6.30pm. We actually arrived for 6pm in the end but it was still handy to have pre ordered the food. The starter of ham hock terrine was okay, far too much ‘jelly’ for me and the bread tasted stale and very dry. Main course of cod loin, bell pepper and tomato risotto was lovely. We had sides too which were all nice. My friend thought her chicken was nice but nothing special. We brought chocolates with us so we didn’t order a dessert for the interval. Very nice restaurant and staff, would return.

The restaurant sits within the Theatre Royal, Norwich. We had dinner before the show. £18 for two courses, or £23 for three. Fairly limited selection (four choices per course) but everything we had was beautifully presented and delicious. Full bar available, but again, limited choice for bottles of wine. A nice touch is that the table is yours for the whole evening, meaning you can come back to it in the interval for dessert, coffee, or just to finish your bottle of wine. You can therefore avoid the crush at the normal theatre bar and the queue for the main toilets as the restaurant has its own. Nicely attentive staff who couldn’t do enough for you. Would advise pre-booking as when we went the vast majority of tables were reserved. Would definitely use this restaurant again.

Resturant very welcoming staff helpful. Great selection of food. Wine list very reasonable. Quality of food very tasty always hot, and no one can complain about portion size. The best is having your table with selected drinks and desserts for interval. Wonderful

Had a lovely pre theatre dinner with my friend. Food was great and the service excellent. We kept our table for a drink during the interval, the drinks were waiting for us, no delay. Added to whole theatre experience. Thank you very much to the hard working staff.

The chips were not hand cut and were below standard. Very small portion of ham. Nice eggs and reasonable priced drinks. Would not eat there again.

We were going to the pantomime and had the set menu, this makes everything so much easier as you can relax and be onsite for the show.We all had a lovely meal, the staff were extremely friendly and made us feel very welcome, you can leave your jackets etc there so it’s much easier when seated in the theatre.Would recommend anyone to use this restaurant, we were all very happy with our visit.

You'll come here for the convenience of an on-site pre-theatre dinner with the option of taking dessert in the interval. You won't come here for a gourmet experience. The setting is fine, the service average and the food adequate. I took the soup of the day (tomato and basil) for £5.95 and the Blythburgh Free Range Pork Belly for £17.95. The pork was well textured. I found the food at the Assembly House next door of better quality and less expensive.

I had the skate wing and it was delicious. The spinach was a bit bland but the watercress and the new potatoes were very tasty. My starter was great too. It was nice that our table was ours all night so our pre-ordered drinks were ready on our tables at half time. It was a bit expensive at £30 each, but that was for two courses and two drinks.

My partner and I visited before a Saturday evening show due to the convenience of it being in the Theatre Royal. There were only four or five different options for each course but there was enough on the menu that we liked. We had a starter each and a main, both were a reasonable size and the main (steak burger with chips and coleslaw) was very filling. Our other primary reason for visiting Kemps was so that we could pre-order our desserts and have them at our table during the interval. We were both too full for dessert after the first two courses so we ordered a pot of tea to share, then the waitress took our interval order and we settled the bill. After the first half you come back to the same table in the restaurant and your order is on the table waiting for you whether that be tea, coffee, wine or like us, dessert! The tannoy announcements to take your seats can be heard in the restaurant so there's no chance you'll miss the second act. It was the perfect pre and mid show restaurant. The table is yours for the night, the staff are very attentive and you don't have to deal with pushing your way to the front of the crowded bar area or stand in the ice cream queue for ages. Would definitely consider Kemps for any future pre-show dinners...only on a Saturday though as the latest we could get a table was 5:45 so wouldn't be feasible for us for a weekday showing after work.

A very enjoyable meal. Service was excellent and we weren't rushed, making it very relaxing before going to see the Show. Menu isn't that extensive, but staff were more than happy to listen to dietary preferences.

Llevamos a nuestros 4 hijos para almorzar, lo grand un total decepción, su menú no es para niños que es muy miope, teniendo en cuenta el número de niños que se realizan espectáculos amable aquí, seguramente hay una demanda de alimentos. Pedí un enrollado de pollo coronación que estaba tan caliente y picante, incluso mi marido que le gusta curry tenían un trabajo para comer. El hummus y pimiento rojo era terrible, la pimienta roja encurtida y desagradable. probado No volveremos como los precios aquí son estratosféricos y la calidad pobre.

Un restaurante muy acogedor con un ambiente encantador, precios razonables y un personal excelente. Se puede pedir más, sí! El menú es muy limitado y se concentraban más en comidas ligeras y snacks que platos principales. Sin embargo, nuestra selección de jamón, huevos y patatas fritas norfolk estaba muy bien presentado y muy satisfactorio.

Restaurante Kemp's solía ser un lugar ideal para comer antes de un espectáculo, ya que está dentro del edificio del teatro. Siempre había una muy buena variedad de comida en el menú y la calidad de la comida era excelente. Por desgracia, este ya no es el caso. Hay una selección de sándwiches, pero sólo hay 4 comidas principales para elegir y dos de esos son los habituales aburrido y jamón, huevos con patatas fritas o una hamburguesa. Elegí la hamburguesa que era bastante pequeño y no muy buena calidad. Usted solía tener que reservar una mesa con antelación de un espectáculo popular, pero había muchas mesas vacías en mi visita. No volveré.

Menú realmente escaso y carente de cualquier inspiración. El aperitivo de gambas tenía tres langostinos menor; el pan focaccia de mojar aceite estaba hecha con aceite de colza y un muy finas (barato? Que no vinagre) se aferran a la pan; butternut squash risotto de mi esposa, mientras aparentemente bien, era como degustación de sopa; y yo? Con tal elección limitada tuve que recurrir a una hamburguesa bastante aburrido - no es lo que yo habría querido para una cena antes del teatro. Lo único bueno era que podíamos volver a nuestra mesa para terminar nuestro caro vino, en el intervalo; teníamos un sitio para colgar nuestros abrigos durante la actuación. No lo suficiente como para hacernos volver jamás. La próxima vez que vaya a las salas de la Asamblea al lado para nuestra cena antes del teatro. Kemps restaurante fue muy decepcionante y realmente necesita esforzarse más.

Mi hija y yo tuvimos una cena antes del teatro antes de Madame Butterfly en noviembre, el personal era muy amable nos aviso de cancelación y nosotros encontrar una mesa nosotros llamamos volver a organizarlo, gran servicio de atención al cliente. Solo tengo cosas buenas que decir sobre todo aquí, toda la comida era adorable, preparados con ingredientes de temporada, presenta con estilo y un montón de sabores. Los postres eran para morirse y todo el personal era encantador y sabía todo sobre los platos cuando pedimos y nos aconsejaron sobre las opciones de vino también. Este restaurante es una enorme ventaja para el teatro y se merece el reconocimiento por un trabajo bien hecho. Gracias a todos los que cuidaron y hicieron que nuestra noche que poco más especial!

Sirve comida de buena calidad y hermosa bien preparada y presentada. Personal absolutamente encantador y lo que me impresionó fue una vez la Mesa está reservada es tuya hasta después del teatro intervalo, así que puedes comprobar pedido una bebida o postre y tienen intervalo de la misma mesa. Me pareció que este restaurante es excelente, bien de precio y una delicia para mejorar su experiencia de teatro

Íbamos al teatro ayer por la tarde con algunos amigos y pensamos que la semana pasada quizá deberíamos añadir una comida a la noche, así que puede pasar tiempo hablando con ellos y ponerse al día.Llamé la semana pasada y nos dieron la última mesa, 5. 15:00 (mostrar en 7. 30)La carne shin era precioso y mis amigos estaban encantados con sus platos. Teníamos entradas, plato principal y helado de sorbete y luego a estirar la comodidad de la noche. No nos pidieron que salir temprano para una segunda. Entonces se ofreció a mantener nuestra mesa para el intervalo para que pudiéramos tomar una copa cómodamente. Me di cuenta de otras personas no habían terminado su vino y así les había ahorrado para más tarde. El vino era barato en 18 libras y un muy buen Sauvignon Blanc chileno. El personal de servicio muy amable en una buena manera. Podíamos ver el chef gestionar sus cocina abierta, muy atento y personalizado y atento a los detalles antes de los platos le dejó.

Normalmente comer en el restaurante de Kemp's cuando visite el Teatro Real. Anteriormente, nos hemos sentido este restaurante a ser 'OK'. Esta noche nos pareció que era muy bueno. Mi Sopa de patata era excelente - caliente, sabroso, abundante. Asimismo lubina estaba muy buena, y las verduras de la manera en que les gusta caliente y fresco. Así que me alegro de que van allí de nuevo el próximo martes!

Fuimos a ver el sonido de la música de la noche del sábado 22 de octubre, tengo que decir que era increíble! Pero la noche no podía haber comenzado mejor! Decidimos comer en el Restaurante Kemp's, que es parte del teatro y no podría haber sido más práctico. Nos recibieron con una sonrisa auténtica, que parecía ser contagioso entre todo el personal que estaban funcionando. El personal era fantástico, la comida era estupenda y la cuenta fue de exactamente lo que me esperaba. No puedo esperar para Chicago cuando hacer lo mismo de nuevo! No se puede perder! P. s. Carne para morirse! ! !

Reservamos una mesa el sábado por la noche para un espectáculo de comprobar la comida. El personal era muy amable y atento a nuestras necesidades. Fue una agradable sorpresa saber que tenía la mesa para la noche así volver durante el intervalo para comprobar pedimos unas bebidas. Ambiente encantador - comida agradable.

Tenía una comida maravillosa en este lugar, nada era demasiado problema para el personal. Tenía un niño joven con un amigo y yo, solo quería dos comidas de adultos como los pequeños nunca come mucho, así que me trajeron un plato de repuesto para ella, de manera que pudiera compartir mi comida con ella. Fueron muy atentos pero no entrometido, bastante jóvenes camareros con buenos modales y mucha paciencia, digo esto ya que tomamos el pequeño cerdo Peppa al espectáculo y el lugar estaba lleno de niños de edad más jóvenes, principalmente, que fueron muy emocionado y muy exagerada, pero el personal se lo llevó todo en su paso, bien hecho, que es un crédito para el teatro.La comida estaba bien presentada y muy agradable,muy limpio, y los aseos lugar también eran de buena calidad.Me dejan intoo mi secreto de como un establecimiento de primera clase, visite el wc y ver qué condiciones son. Si están limpias y presentables entonces comer en el lugar. Si mantienen los aseos limpios, entonces puede apostar a que la cocina también es de buen nivel. Si no te apetece mantener un aseo limpio, entonces el señor solo sabe lo que es la cocina en condiciones. normalmente funciona como una buena regla de pulgar. Funciona para mí.

Entiendo que este restaurante ha sido reabierto. Pero habíamos llamado y nos dijeron que no podíamos reservar, pero se les olvidó mencionar que los domingos sólo sirve sándwiches y ensaladas. Ninguno de nosotros había comido durante el día, ya que estábamos ansiosos por nuestra comida, que terminan sentarme allí sandwiches de atún. El personal era muy amable y me explico la cocina no operan en un domingo, es una pena, el personal en el teléfono la información misma no relé

Lovely resturant for pre dinner show nice setting book in advance as it gets busy food great presentation good service good

Visited recently and the menu was not as varied as previous visits - my partner could not finish his meal - and we were not the only ones who complained that evening - such a shame that standards on this occasion had definitely dropped - perhaps they were having a bad day or problems in the kitchen - we will go again as it is convenient before the theatre - and we hope that this was just a one off bad experience and good food will soon again be served to us.

Comido aquí varias veces antes de un espectáculo. El menú cambia regularmente y siempre hemos encontrado algo para satisfacer a nosotros. La mejor parte es tener la mesa para la noche. Volver para un postre en el intervalo es un auténtico lujo lejos de las multitudes.

A relaxed lunch with attentive but unhurried service . Food freshly prepared priced mid range but I felt there could have been more choice available on the menu.

Estoy sorprendido por la mezcla comentarios este sitio ha recibido hasta ahora. Anteriormente he comido en la casa de asamblea para teatro, pero después de una mala experiencia que tengo partida viniendo aquí. Me he comido aquí en varias ocasiones y siempre han sido impresionados. El menú tiene una buena selección para elegir y cambios razonablemente a menudo, siempre hay cosas nuevas para probar. Siempre me he encontrado con un servicio amable y comida llega en un buen momento al ritmo. Es relajante saber que están en el teatro, así que no tienes que preocuparte por estar tarde para el show. Una ventaja adicional es que se puede pre-ordenar su media copa tiempo y escapar de la multitud como su mesa es suya para toda la noche. Supongo que la razón por la que no he dado este hotel de 5 estrellas es el precio en comparación a comprobar ofertas de teatro puede conseguir en otro lado, pero si eres un amigo del teatro puedes conseguir un descuento en la factura, que lo hace razonable y siempre hay una opción más barata en el menú. Volveré.

Un gran lugar para comer antes y durante el espectáculo. Reserva una mesa y su disposición para usar durante la noche subido el intervalo para tomar una copa o incluso terminar su comida en el ocio. Menú limitado lo que significa también un precio razonable. Bien presentado por un personal amable y eficiente. Parte trasera de menú tiene lista de ingredientes para cada elemento de la lista de alergenos y posible. Magnífico!

Asistimos al Teatro Real para un día de la trilogía de James juega (que por cierto eran excelentes). Para hacer que el día sea más especial, decidimos aprovechar la oferta "especiales" que se ponen en el almuerzo de Kemp's Restaurant. Pagamos £19.35 después de nuestro 10% de descuento amigos para lo que se describe como la fuente de carne. Suena apetecible ¿no? Por lo que pagamos prevé una deslumbrante variedad de carnes, quizás acompañados por panes interesantes y ensalada. De 1:45 estaba muy hambriento y listo para mi 'fuente'.

Durante años hemos comido en el Teatro Real antes de la muestra, pero cuando estaba reaparecidos, encontramos el ambiente y la comida variable. Encantado de informar que anoche era excelente - el compacto pero variado menú era muy bueno y los postres y café durante el intervalo, fue altamente civilizado.

Teníamos pensado mucho comer en Kemps al ver una obra en el Teatro Real en Norwich, pero estaban muy decepcionados por nuestra experiencia reciente.

una vez cenamos en el restaurante Kemp's antes de un espectáculo. Dos espectáculos esta semana, con una comida en la casa la Asamblea, y la otra en Kemp's. Servicio rápido, pero no teníamos prisa. No creo que el menú estimulante, pero la carne fue excelente. Además, la sopa estaba delicioso. Vino a un precio razonable. Y - la mesa, era nuestra por la noche, incluyendo bebidas en la pausa. La Asamblea casa? - precio similar, más estilo. Kemp's? - más que adecuado, además de una mesa en el intervalo.

Recomiendo encarecidamente comer aquí si vas a ver un espectáculo en el Teatro Real. El servicio era muy bueno, la comida deliciosa y opción de menú fijo de comida tenía una ventaja añadida de Navidad de un café gratis y Misa del Gallo tarta! Una ventaja es que la mesa es suya para toda la noche, así que puedes ordenar su intervalo bebidas y volver, con amigos si así lo desea, hasta el restaurante al medio tiempo! Ya hemos reservado de nuevo para nuestro próximo viaje de teatro!!

Este es en realidad en el Teatro Real, en el centro de Norwich así que es un excelente lugar para disfrutar de una comida antes de teatro. La comida y el servicio son muy buenos y también se puede volver a su mesa en el intervalo para tomar una copa o postre o queso, etc.

Service was good - food ok. Not a great choice on menu but we did go on a quiet day. Very convenient location as inside theatre.

Muy conveniente para antes del espectáculo. El servicio es excelente pero es mejor hacer una reserva anticipada de noche, ya que el servicio puede ser un poco lento. Menú cambia cada dos meses y es generalmente bastante amplios. Cenamos allí hace un par de semanas y disfrutamos mucho del skate en una salsa con ensalada y patatas nuevas. El chocolate postre era para morirse!

Good food, generous portions and value for money 10/10, light lunch menu very good, also full menu available. Will definitely go again, but best to book if you are seeing a show.

Un atento servicio de cortés el personal simpático, la comida recién preparada y rápido estaba bien caliente y deliciosa.

We have dined here this evening as a table of three for a pre show dinner - Poor, poor, poor!

Pleasant meal pre show in waitress service restaurant. Booking is essential and to allow time to eat etc you should aim to be seated by 5.45 for a 7.30 show.The Forum carpark offers flat rate parking after 5.30 - if parking after this time you can pay for your ticket before going into the theatre.The restaurant menu varies seasonally, with a solitary vegetation option. The only item which is constant is the burger which is a good size.Expect to pay £10.95+ for a main course, £5 each for starter and dessert.You should also are order interval drinks which will be waiting on your table for you.

Love going to the cafe after seeing a show for tea and cake. Really lovely cakes and food on offer which are all reasonably priced. Only down side is limited seating so get there quick!!

An ideal way to start the evening - starter and main course before the show and return to your table for dessert and coffee during the interval.

Came to te theatr tonight before the show and as we had not booked a table in advance were told we could have a HOT buffett on next floor.Plates were cold an very wet!The food was absolutely disgusting,6 piee f cold scampi left, cold cogealed garlic mushrooms,at least two tablespoonfuls of pork drie up,potato wedges which must have been cooked hours earlier.Sat down to eat and it wa totally indibe,aske for managr,she said food was at 70 degrees because they usea probe butshe said she had been away or a while!About 20 otherdines were complaining by now and were told that freshfood would arrive in ten minutes. 35 minutes later nothing had comeI decide to ask for a refund.Linda the manager had every excuse in the book !!Food is a DANGER served at that level of coldness especially to someone like myself with a weakened immune systemThe trip was totally ruined by this experience and of course I was really hungry after a 2 hour coach tripBe warned everyone ask for hot food and do not mess with the surly staff who could not even give me the surname of manager Linda as it was as they said too hard to pronounce or remember.HOW SHOCKING

We ate in the bar area you pay 7.95 for the buffet you can have as much as you like if you can get it on your plate because you can only go up once. It was okay if you like. Lots of different food on your plate.Good for a quick meal.

We called in on spec for a pre-show dinner ... should have gone elsewhere the food was rushed out with mains arriving before we finished starters. Food quality was rubbish, how much effort does it take to flip a burger? and the manageress created a rushed, harassed too busy atmosphere even though the place was only 50% utilised. The big party we were rushed around on behalf of numbered just six? the food and drink is hugely overpriced for what it is ... I always dine here pre-show but never again.

Enjoyed a nice Xmas meal there, some of the food could have done with some seasoning, but nice presentation. Staff attentive, although one was a little officious! Coffee left out during interval, by which time it was lukewarm. Convenient location.

Very good food, small menu but quality cooking and nice presentation. I didn't have high expectations but meal was lovely. 2 courses for a fixed price includes coffee and a mince pie. Staff were very friendly and had good information about dishes. Open from 9.30 with coffee and cake at a reasonable price. Would need to book at busy times for meals

Our first visit to Kemp's restaurant, and it certainly won't be the last. We decided to book a Boxing Day lunch for 9 family members including three children ( one of whom is lactose intolerant). From the initial booking onwards we had excellent contact with the restaurant, and plenty of notice of the menu available, which we chose in advance. The service was friendly and efficient, and we had a relaxed and delicious meal prior to taking our seats in the Theatre for a magical panto. The presentation of the food was a feast for the eyes (wish I'd taken photos!) and we were able to leave our coats and return for coffee and mince pies in the interval. Well done, all at Kemp's, you are doing a grand job - and thank you!

If you want a plush classy restaurant for a romantic evening, there are many elsewhere in Norwich. If you want a cheap snack, there are many places to go. But if you want a decent meal in a comfortable restaurant, albeit a limited menu, but with friendly staff - and that fits in with your visit to the theatre - this is the place. Around £50 for 2 courses for 2, with 2 glasses of wine and a bottle of sparkling waster.

Excellent ambiance, service, menu and value for money, a mandatory pre-show visit for us every time. Even though in the city centre parking has never been an issue, after 5.00pm it is only £2.50 for all night if you know where to go

Recently been to see a show at the theatre and decided to stop for lunch there. Very clean no water marks on the cutlery. Very polite staff. The food was spot on. The only little niggle I have is that they should serve the children first.

Had a pre theatre meal here and found the startes of scallop with pea risotto and the ham hock terrine to be lacking in flavour. However the same could not be said for the tuna Niçoise salad for main which was delicious and didn't want it to end. Staff very friendly and I would definitely eat here again.

We always opt for the buffet menu served in the bar when we visit the theatre but please note, it was not available on Sundays when we visited. There is a choice of several dishes and you can take as much as you want of each selection, but you only get one trip to the buffet. This can lead to some interesting selections on your plate at one time! The food is good and the value is good too. We get to go into the theatre in advance of our show and relax with something to eat and a drink. It is always a welcome visit.

Had an excellent pre show meal and the service was great. I took the option to go back to my table in the interval and have a drink and the sweet course. ll in all a very good experience.

Second time dinner in one week. Average food standard, excellent service with pleasant staff. Very convenient before a show (specially when it's raining outside).

Good food at a great price, staff were quick serving, I had a pasta dish was very nice. Would recommend

A nice varied menu. Very convenient when shopping in city centre. Very reasonably priced. Will visit again.

Very interesting to read the reviews before posting mine. I visited with some friends before going to see Happy Days. I found the greeting friendly and welcoming, the waitress (same waitress all evening which was lovely) to be friendly, accommodating and very efficient. The food was excellent! And what a treat to have the table for the whole evening, meaning that our interval drinks were at our table waiting for us and our coats stayed safe on the restaurant throughout our visit. I hope this is the norm for this restaurant, if it is it's onto a winner!

We recently went to the theatre and decided to have a snack there as we did not want to go into the restaurant.I have to say the food did not really come up to expectation, I had a jacket potato and ratatouille , the potatoes appeared hard and I did mention it to the guy behind the counter but he said they were ok, unfortunately it was the worst jacket potato I have ever had, it was ver dry, must have been there since the matinee performance so it was very disappointing.My friend did not fancy the food so she asked about the sandwiches but only 3 choices so she opted for a biscuit instead.It is a shame as it is a lovely place and atmosphere brilliant but I doubt I would go there again for food.

My partner, mother-in-law and I ate in this restaurant preshow of Damn Edna. We have not dined here before and understand that its quite a recent a addition to the theatre scene in Norwich. We had pre-booked and enjoyed one course each. I choose opted for the burger which was sadly of very poor quality meat and was very overcooked. My mother-in-law’s risotto was VERY expensive £10.50 for the teeny portion served, and we are London City workers so are used to high priced items, but this took the mickey. The service was very good though. This restaurant is what the Crush Room is to the Royal Opera House, otherwise known as the pinnacle dining experience for this venue, however I would say that it really need to up its game if to stop people enjoying preshow dining experiences from nearby restaurants and a cheaper cost.

Very convenient for the theatre with the added advantage of having your table and pre-ordered drinks available at the interval. The service was very good and the general atmosphere of theatre goers give the place a buzz. However, we had chicken supreme and sea bass for dinner which were at best average, the desserts similar. Worth considering for the convenience of the theatre but not for a celebratory dinner.

We only wanted coffee before the Pantomime,but were greeted in a very surly manner by the waitng staff who reluctantly brought or coffee and insisted we pay there and then,as they didn't want us to run up a tab.Not what we expected at all fro a restaurant/café that has had some good reviews.

We ate here prior to the opera on 9/11/13. The pigeon starter was tasteless, chewy and dry. The main course of duck was equally tasteless with a tough wet skin on the top. Just a large inedible portion of wet grey rubber. The red cabbage accompaniment was just a wet flavourless mess. The confit of duck leg appeared to be a potato croquette with a couple of crumbs of duck in it. The only good thing were the chips. We didn't bother with a desert. The espresso coffeee was also served luke warm. I didn't think restaurants still served such bad food anymore. Presumably the meat is cooked in some sort of boil in a bag contraption all in with the red cabbage so it is simmering away warm and wet prior to being served.

We tried to eat pre show 2 months ago but could not get in. Full again last night however we book at the same time as the show. My wife ordered Sea Bass , I ate Paella, both very good.Plenty of staff. Well trained and had a smile on their faces.Theatre Royal is a very good theatre blessed with a very good restaurant.

Title says it all, would have loved to take more time. very crowded due to situation. All things considered lovely food, wine atmosphere.

great service great food ,great service and all abilities and welcome meals very nice too ,toilets very clean

Food was average at its best. Portions was not big with the price you paid for. If we were not in a rush, we wouldn't bother.

This was my first and hopefully only visit to the Cafe/Restaurant at the Theatre Royal, Norwich. The atmosphere amongst the variety of pending theatre goers was pleasant enough but the food was pretty poor. The experience started with Duck/Hoi Sin Spring Rolls at almost £6 which where Overcooked, Dry and the accompanying garnish peppers/onions greasy. It was pretty obvious that they were cooked from frozen. If they has been much harder a trip to the dentist would have probably been on the cards.This was followed by a Grilled Skate Wing with a Caper and other indistinguishable dressing with Boiled Potatoes and micro small Salad Bowl. Where do I start with this dish? Well frankly it was disgusting. The Fish was slimy, absolutely tasteless with a total lack of seasoning apart from being totally overpowered by the bitterness of the caper concoction. The salad bowl consisted of bitter leaves which when I looked hard I managed to find a whole Cherry Tomato cut in two and a slice of Cucumber cut in two but with the sweet seedy part removed. The whole dish left you with a slimy coating and a bitter taste in your mouth.Having a palate that favours sweet flavours, I was looking hopefully on a winner with desert of Lemon Meringue with a Orange Sorbet. Wrong! The Pastry was about the best part. The Lemon filling was flat in taste, unexciting and lacked the sharp but sweet citrus twang. The meringue topping was tasteless and had the texture of cheap shaving foam with no sign of a crispy outer topping. My partner watched them preparing it with a quick skirt round with a blow torch to cook it. The Orange Sorbet should have cleansed my palate to some extent but was horrible without a hint of orange flavour. I suspect the only part of the orange it was made from was the pith.The only good part about the meal was the Coffee during the interval which did at least manage, at last, to get rid of the bitter flavour that lingered throughout the first part of the show.A hugely disappointing experience that I would not repeat in a hurry. I have had more pleasurable experiences eating food that came out of an Army Ration Pack.

Beef bourgingnon and swede mash sounded so tempting... But the portion was tiny, small desert spoonful of mash, tough meat in greyish flavourless gravy.Afterwards chocolate pud and choc sauce, dry and overcooked chocolate sauce taste.My co diners pud, apricot and almond tart was flavourless. Overpriced with disinterested service and the bill brought as soon as we had finished the last mouthful so we had the impression we were expected to vacate.very disappointed as a nice meal before the show would have added to what was a lovely evening at the theatre... But unfortunately it was more like a school dinner .. Functional and uninspiring
