Had a lovely date night at Pogue Mahon's on Sunday 6th April. Fab Irish pub feels like being welcomed into a family home, super welcoming and generous landlord and friendly, helpful and entertaining bar team. Happy fun atmosphere. Chose it because we're avid fans of the foreign locals, who were as awesome and entertaining as always. These two can make a hell of a big sound and always get us up and dancing reliving our youth. Joe is just hilarious. The food... exceptional, enormous portions, roast is generous, super tasty, comes with all the trimmings you could ever dream of, all cooked to absolute perfection. Sticky toffee pudding to die for. Good value. Will be back to try another night.

Pogue Mahone’s in Norwich is a fantastic Irish pub that offers an exceptional experience. Aidan and his team provide outstanding service, making every visit memorable. The chef’s roast was absolutely amazing—we had the All Meats option, and it was sensational! Hands down the best Guinness in Norwich too. Highly recommended!

We had an absolutely amazing Sunday roast at Pogue Mahon’s! The food was cooked to perfection—tender, flavorful meats, perfectly crispy roast potatoes, and delicious homemade Yorkshire puddings. The portions were generous, and every bite was packed with comforting, rich flavors. The atmosphere was fantastic, with a warm and welcoming pub feel that made for a perfect Sunday afternoon. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Adding to the experience, The Rugby was playing in the background, creating a brilliant atmosphere that made the meal even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for a top-notch Sunday roast in a great setting, I highly recommend Pogue Mahon’s. And the Baby Guinness We’ll definitely be back!

Lovely venue and decor and great irish music playing, However I expect an irish pub to know how to pour a Guinness especially when it's £6.80!! Worst poured Guinness I've had in a long while from disinterested staff which is definitely not the traditional irish pub experience !!! Then to top it off apon leaving I take my glass back to the bar and say thanks and barmaid looks blankly at me with not so much as a thank you back!! Terrible hospitality 😪 Please sort out your staff as they are letting the pub down!!

Unfortunately after being served and beginning to relax with a pint . I was asked to leave as there was a private function which I was not made aware of when entering or ordering ....... Bad craic 😒

Having been here last year we returned Friday and Saturday night hoping for more of the same. Very crowded but a great atmosphere. If you want to sit down and have a break, there is the Drunken Pit downstairs with a bar , which many do not seem to know about .... but the secret's out. The singer Saturday night was superb and really got the bar singing and dancing. Pogue's Black is a really nice porter and the Guiness is top quality

We had a private party this weekend in Pogue Mahon’s ‘Drunk Tank’ and it was perfect! A fantastic, newly decorated basement venue that was exclusive to us and had a PA system (we bought musicians and a DJ) its own bar, toilets, a little outside area (for the smokers) and even a separate door. The service was great and Aidan who runs the place stopped at nothing to ensure we all had the best night. I cannot rate this place highly enough for any occasion.

Tried to enter, on a Sunday afternoon at 3.30pm after one of the biggest Norwich City games of the season’s at the age of 62, to be turned away, spent a lot of money in this pub as a neighbour local business. Just want to say , Norwich City encouraging people to wear yellow, so we had football shirts on, then to get turned away, never been turned away from a pub in my life, but l guess always a first time for everything, won’t never get a penny from us again. Like to just remind the the pub, a bad word travels faster than a good word, but oddly they are showing football and advertising the pub as a sports bar . 🤷🏻♀️ would welcome some feedback from management as to rationale behind the decision or was it just discrimination.

I have booked 3 parties at Pogue’s over the last few months. 2 retirement do’s and my Sister-in-Law’s 40th birthday last night. Absolutely fantastic room to hold a party (Magoo’s). We had Phatt Music play for us. Bar staff were spot on as usual. They all go out of their way to help. They have even helped me set up with decorations etc. And the buffets that have been served were superb. Great value for money. The sliders were a big hit! Aidan’s communication is speedy and he is so friendly! He has always advised on how to make a party go off with a bang with regards to food/table/room set up/music etc. Has to be the best landlord in Norwich? Never had a bad night at Pogue’s. Just gets better.

Went here with my husband and a friend as it was close to our hotel. Bouncers told my husband he would have to keep his top covered as they were a neutral pub. It was only a polo top but we had no problem with that. We got our drinks and as we walked upstairs my husband commented to me if it was a neutral pub how come there were people in there with England rugby shirts on. With that the owner shot out and snarled at us that it was allowed because it was a rugby top and it was his pub and he made the rules and it was only a neutral pub for football because football fans didn't know how to behave! So we are hooligans because of a logo on a polo top?! It was his tone which annoyed us as much as anything, and my husband was speaking to me not anyone else. About 20 minutes later as we were quietly enjoying our drinks Ireland scored and the table behind us in their celebrations knocked their drinks over and smashed glass everywhere. They obviously didn't get the memo on how they were supposed to behave. Two stars for the nice pint and great music but the owner's rudeness towards us was totally uncalled for and made us feel most unwelcome.

We arrived for bottomless brunch. we was the only table and had our own server and bar felt like V.I.Ps! A bit disapointed that due to their new menu our bottomless “brunch” was actually a choice between two burgers… a beef one or chicken one… only option for food we had and wasn’t told this when booking. But nevermind we obviously ordered the burgers which was very greasy… but the chips were lovely! Bottomless cocktails - we had a Lovely server who really did try but each cocktail took time to make which meant the 2 hour unlimited cocktails we didn’t get our first one for 15 minutes .. we kept our order the same to make things easier and we did manage to have 7 cocktails in the 2 hours so it was worth the money for the drink part, they tasted lovely! And again our server was so sweet. Overall would recommend for drinks. Not food as poor choice and what was the food wasn’t amazing. But the drinks tasted yummy but maybe book when it’s very quite as could imagine long waiting time for drinks if busy.

The owner/manager, Aiden, has got this spot on. A very lively ground floor with live music and usually a very lively crowd all joining in. If you want to ease off, ease upstairs where a quieter bar is available, or head through the 'bookcase' to visit the secret bar downstairs (when not hired out). Grab a baby Guinness shot, let your hair down and join in. Wonderful 👍

We were visiting as a special treat for our sons birthday. The service from the waiting staff was very good and the food came out nice and quick. This is an expensive restaurant, expect to pay around £50 a head just for the main meal so I was expecting good quality food. However, I was very disappointed with the quality of my piece of steak. I always order rib eye and I fully understand this is a fattier cut of meat compared to say sirloin or fillet but the majority of the meat was inedible due to sinue and thick, white fat, the type that is never going to melt when cooked resulting in chewy inedible meat. I did bring this to the attention of the waitress who then asked the manager to come over. She did apologise but then went on to say that it was just my ‘bad luck’ due to the cow! She went on to explain that all cows have different levels of fat and I had just been unlucky! This is no way to talk to a paying customer and more so, insult my intelligence! I am shocked to have experienced such bad customer service from a very respectable restaurant. On their website it says their philosophy is, I quote : “Prime is built upon our passion for delivering both an excellent service and the highest quality of food.” On this occasion, the service and quality of food did not meet their so called standards and I have been left feeling very let down and angry. When I received the bill, I had still been charged full price for my steak which I was surprised to see as I hadn’t been able to eat it. I paid the bill including the steak because it was a family meal which didn’t want to spoil it and thought I would express my disappointment formerly. I did email them but they never even had the decency to acknowledge my email hence why I am writing this review.

Visited SALT sandwich bar and enjoyed two lovely sandwiches, a side salad, crisps, and drinks. The food was delightful, but the service was a bit slow. On both occasions, the manager or owner appeared quite stressed. Despite that, it's a good place with a stunning interior.

The service was very pleasant and helpful, and the place is clean and comfortable. There are mementos of the place's former incarnation as the Mustard Shopwhich adds interest. I thought the food was decent, but not exceptional, and perhaps some thought could be given to the presentation. Still, it is well worth a visit.
