3rd visit to RH for my friend, 1st for me, RH did not disappoint again. We had the premium tasting menu. Each course a delight to the taste buds, pure bliss. Our waiter was very knowledgeable in explaining each course, very friendly and polite.

Food - see the comments on each photo. We enjoyed the meal overall, but not so sure if it is meeting the Michelin standard only based on our experience tonight. Value for money - we visited on a Saturday night. I'd recommend trying it on weekdays eve or lunch. Service - They were very nice & hard working but needed to be trained in different areas, especially in a Michelin restaurant. The young lady who served us unfortunately didn't know how to serve wine, and forgot our water. We are supposed to have the coffee & Petit four in our premium tasting menu, but she told us it's a supplement & costs extra (that's indeed applied to the five course menu). She seems not familiar with the menu. Thanks for the great Saturday eve and all the very best to RH's restaurant.

The focus of the restaurant has changed to its tasting menus with the al la carte menu appearing as an afterthought on the final page of the menu folder. My preference is for slightly larger portions of fewer dishes - hence choosing a la carte. The ham hock with pea mousse and mushrooms was delicious but the chicken with broad beans and pancetta was disappointing. Others in our party had salmon with charred leek which they enjoyed. The wine list is interesting and the 2018 Chianti Classico Reserva 'Vigna Del Sorbo' was excellent. The staff were attentive and pleasant with only one long wait - for the main course - and the waiting was eased by the varied and tasty amuse-bouches.

Remember when dining out used to be an experience. Well, this restaurant is . From the greeting upon arrival to perusing the menu. Two taster menus, with or without wines. Excellent wine list ( a lot of effort put in , I think) was given plenty of time to dine. Overall experience, sublime.

Once again, a fabulous meal at Roger Hickman's restaurant. Everything was simply delicious, from the unexpected amuse bouche to the coffee and petit fours, we really enjoyed the meal and the lovely relaxed atmosphere. Our waiter, Kevin was extremely helpful and attentive (thanks for the latte, Kevin!), even though there were a number of tables in use. We will definitely be back!

This has to be the best value, most delicious lunch in Norwich. Food is exquisite both in terms of flavour, design of dish and presentation. The restaurant is a lovely haven of calm and the service charming and excellent. We went for a birthday treat and it could not have been better. Having been before a year ago, I won't be leaving it another year before returning.

We were totally captivated with the food here. The creative dishes were quite delicious and the chef is to be commended for the his choice of flavours and of course expertise. It’s a long time since I have been taken by surprise (it was a 95th birthday treat) with such a display of really exquisite cuisine. I could not understand why the place was not heaving with fellow diners. At the risk of overstatement you really made my day. Many thanks and your efforts are so much appreciated

Was looking forward to this place with the tasting menu on offer and we went for the more expensive option. My god what a sham with basic dishes tarted up to look half decent and desserts that were so sweet it was sickly. Staff that served us were nice but are not trained for a so called Michelin Star restaurant and the bill was an eye watering £330 for two. We have dined all around London in top restaurants and wasn’t expecting the quality to be as high but when advertised with a star that drew us in. Sadly will never return

A glorious experience. We chose the lunchtime tasting menu, with the flight of wines. And Roger Hickman’s didn’t put a foot wrong. Every dish brought a fresh delight. From the initial amuse-bouche and glass of prosecco our journey included unforgettable sweetcorn ice cream, red mullet, pork belly, an impeccable selection of cheeses and an exquisite lemon dessert. The wines were perfectly matched to the food. Our waiter looked after us discreetly, giving us time to really appreciate what we had eaten before introducing us to the next course. He was not intrusive, but when we wanted to know more he was knowledgeable and charming. The restaurant space is comfortable and intimate but not crowded, split over two levels so we were nicely separate from the other diners. The music was not intrusive but pitched nicely to add atmosphere, and the quirky selection of artworks were a treat too. The bill was another treat: our lunch was real value for money. I’d chosen the restaurant to be a special occasion with good friends, and it fitted the bill perfectly.

This was very disappointing despite all the hype surrounding it. I have been to these kind of establishments before but as I was solo I got the impression it was frowned upon which made the experience worse. Food was ok but the wines that accompanied some of the dishes were not appropriate for the actual pairing.

My first visit to Roger Hickman's for a birthday dinner. An absolute delight. A calm, well lit and modern interior. We had the 5 course tasting menu. There was no A La Carte menu available for evening dining. The food was as others described. Delicious. A sensuous delight. The cheese course I could repeat. The dessert: a cascade and crescendo of lemon. 3 hours flew. The two bottles of wines made us squiffy. The combination of wine and cheese at one moment blew the taste buds and filled my head with delight. The waiting staff: on their feet for over three hours, unobtrusive, organized. The waiter by the end of the evening an existential philosopher. We all agreed this was a wonderful and memorable evening. For one of us the best Tasting Menu ever.

I'll keep this as brief as possible. We arrived on time, were seated and perused the menu. We agreed on the 7 course taster menu; be aware that amuse bouche is a part of the 7 courses. My wife had a glass of prosecco and I requested the low alcohol beer, the only "adult" low/no alcohol drink on offer, it wasn't available and I stayed with mineral water. The food arrived, point to note, please do not clear the table until the customer has finished eating that particular course. Towards the end of the food it was apparent that the cheese course required a supplement of £20 for the 2 of us, we opted out of this. We were also informed that end of meal coffees were at an additional cost, later this was waived. So, all in all the 7 course was in fact 6 courses as the cheese was an additional cost we didn't want to pay, after all it's integral to the 7 courses? A further look at the menu revealed that the 5 course taster option was in fact 6 courses and that the cheese course was not subject to a surcharge. Note, the 7 course option is £90 per head, in fact £100 if you want the cheese course, the 5 course taster at 6 courses, is £70 per head with no additional surcharges. It was put to us that the £10 surcharge was inline with an increase in food supply costs. Leave to you to decide on value over cost. Of the courses presented to us only 1 was actually "warm", a point noted by the table adjacent to us. The crab was very much less that even warm. Whilst we enjoy a "no rush experience" we did think that 3 hours we spent there was a little excessive for the quantity of food served. In summary, a moderatly over-hyped venue, lacking atmosphere, and adequate room heating with my wife wearing her coat towards the end of the experience.

A Friday night and Hickmans has 8 diners, we made 10. We expected more people to arrive later in the evening but we think word must have got round. Nice staff. Very poor food. Sweet potato and something fishy were the canapés. We were underwhelmed. Confit salmon had rather a sharp hollandaise and odd texture. The bread was toasted and hard. Next, a sun-dried tomato soup. Not to my taste. Long waits between courses. Mains eventually arrived, however there was a very strong and somewhat off smell emanating from the Lemon Sole dish in front of me. I tried some of the small pieces of veg on the dish and then tried the Sole, it was off. I sent it back. How can any chef send out a dish that so obviously smells so bad? The waitress assured me the fish was fresh that day and that the chef had shown her evidence. I was offered a replacement meal but did not want anything, I had been so underwhelmed by the offerings so far I just ordered a pudding. By then my husband had finished his meal which he said was unimpressive. Pre pudding had some lemon balm in it so was rather soapy tasting. The main pudding was style over substance, rather dry carrot cake made to look pretty. The cheese was the best plate of the evening. As we left the waitress told us that the chef had tried the fish I sent back to the kitchen and that he agreed with me that the fish was off. Shame he let it go out of the kitchen, it would not have been allowed out of my kitchen when I cooked professionally. We have been coming to Hickmans on our trips to Norfolk since it opened and Adlards before that. This was our last time.

We had a the 5 course taster menu that was amazing! The food was cooked to perfection and plenty of flavour from all the components. The waiter was very good and made the evening even more enjoyable. A very good wine list too! My only criticism would be that the knives were quite blunt and made it very difficult to cut the food, apart from that it was a lovely evening meal out.

Emailed the Restaurant in advance of the booking to check that the menu that was on the website was up-to-date. Didn’t get a reply and didn’t get chance to check back as I was so busy, unfortunately wasn’t the menu expected when we got there . Food was OK. Some was lovely some not so. Beef shin was stringy. Could not cut the spring onions with cutlery. Cheese was uninspiring … was it from Sainsbury’s? And it was served too cold. Lots of wine out of stock on menu but what we had was excellent. Guy that served us did a good job although he would have been better to use a Folded napkin to catch drips on the wine bottle rather than his finger 😳 Noticed the low star hygiene rating sign on the wall and looked it up and was 2/5 star! This is the third time I’ve been and I’ve never really rated it so won’t be going back

Simply wonderful !! What a fantastic restaurant welcoming and quaint with lovely staff that cannot do enough for you. Choice of menu is amazing with the 7 course taster being ours and all dietary requirements catered for. Comprehensive wine list for all budgets with a wine journey if desired. The food is second to none and outshone 2 star Michelin restaurants in our opinion and we have not tasted better elsewhere. For a fine dining restaurant Roger’s is not the cheapest but definitely the best and therefore superb. Roger’s himself is a true gentleman and very humble and deserves higher recognition from the Michelin judges. Well recommended and we will definitely rebook.

The service was excellent - friendly, knowledgeable, and ready to assist, a perfect balance of attentive but without being on top of us! The wine list is extensive with plenty of choice, despite several not being available. Definitely still enough to choose from and the waitress's recommendation was perfect.

Living on its old reputation. Service was poor. Not enough staff - and they were not trained properly, very young and seemingly no understanding of the dining experience. My glass was empty and not topped up, I had to do this myself - this is a basic but essential thing that sets higher level restaurants apart. The heating also didn't appear to be on, meaning I had to keep wrapped up all night next to a heater that was OFF and a draughty window! We paid hundreds of pounds for our meal and drinks, and it wasn't reflective of our experience at all. NEVER AGAIN!

We had the 5 course tasting menu on a chilly Saturday night. Service was attentive and friendly although staff could do with watching the door more closely because - with no greeter to meet us at the entrance - we had to wander to the back of the restaurant, still wearing our bulky outdoor layers and pushing past the already seated diners, in the search for someone to welcome and seat us. The food was good but not flawless. The artichoke and seafood courses were excellent but our main course (partridge? can’t recall) was massively over-cooked: dry, chewy and hard and almost inedible. Very strange. The cheese course and dessert were again lovely but the white chocolate and tonka bean truffles which followed were far too sweet - cloying and sickly. Overall it’s a good local restaurant but they need to tighten up their cookery to ensure standards are consistent throughout the meal, especially at these prices.

Food is exemplary, all the extra touches make it standout. Delightful canapés, mise en bouche and wonderful bread. Service is subtle, friendly and the staff are attentive and well informed.

The food was brilliant. We both had the 7 course and a premium wine flight. Service was very good and the entire evening was fantastic. Staff were attentive while still giving you enough space to chat and enjoy the evening. Never made to feel out of place or that we didn't know enough to appreciate the food or wine.

We had the most fantastic time at Rogers Hickman's restaurant, we booked a meal to celebrate Gary's 60th Birthday and we were not disappointed, the food was amazing and our waiter was such a lovely young man, he even brought me a list of the cheeses that would be included on the cheese plate because I enquired. We had the lunch time menu which was second to none, every course was delicious and immaculately presented, they even brought us a special after dinner treat for Gary to celebrate his 60th, it made his day, we will certainly be going again, hopefully for my 60th in November, we live in the midlands but visit Norfolk regularly throughout the year, our favourite part of the country. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the chef and the staff for making our day SO special and for the amazing tasty food. Elaine & Gary

Superb food and service. All three courses were original and inventive. Flavours textures and appearance superb. Considering the quality I believe the restaurant gave very good value for money.

Excellent service, amazing food. Definately 5 out of 5. Instead of the tasting menu, we decided to go for ala carte, 1 starter and 3 main for everyone. Love it ❤️

Went into this place a while ago but never forgot the service, there wasn’t any , we sat there for 45 minutes and never even had a drinks order taken and the place had two other tables they were serving so not at all busy , the chef was standing there picking his nose and scratching his balls instead of preparing food or cooking, we were horrified and left after seeing that , the waitress called over as we opened the door to leave that she was sorry we’d waited so long and I thought, not as sorry as we were that we’d gone in there in the first place ! We ate in another restaurant down the road and the food there was excellent with considerably cleaner staff

Food was lovely but it was tiny. We had the three course lunch menu, we came out as hungry as when we arrived. The pork belly main was 1cm squared by 10cm long. I don't want pile it high but too much theatre and prettyness over the portion size. Bishop's restaurant is better for the ratio

Thanks for a lovely evening. Met up with friends and couldn’t ask more from the wonderful front of house staff who were very attentive. Michelle and Craig run an excellent restaurant. Would also like to thank the chefs as the food was excellent throughout.

We booked afternoon tea. It was dreadful. Service was slow. The wrong tea was brought and not changed despite our protest. The prosecco drinks we ordered did not arrive at all. The so called sandwiches were simply door steps served on a single thick piece of bread. They were taken from the counter and put onto a cake plate. Two of the cakes crumbled when we lifted them. We complained when paying the bill but it was plain our concerns would not be escalated hence this review. We have used Jarrolds for 50 years without complaint but will not return to Benjis. it is wrong to exploit customers in this way.

Second time for breakfast and I feel it better value than lunch. Large portions, nice selections and kept us full all day. Lovely ambience and attentive staff. The only let down was the disappointing coffee, they need to up their game, especially for the cost. It is tiny and not very good. I am sure last time there was top ups.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Jarrolds in Norwich. The store was beautifully laid out and stocked with a wide variety of high-quality goods. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making my shopping experience truly enjoyable. I was particularly impressed by the selection in the homeware department and found some unique pieces to add to my collection. Overall, I would highly recommend a visit to Jarrolds for a delightful shopping experience.
