SugarBeat Eating House in Norwich

We're staying at Dunston Hall, literally five minutes up the road (by car). We'd passed this restaurant on our way to the hall and decided to give it a look. WOW the food was delicious. Neither hubby or I have huge appetites so we just had a main course each. Salmon fillet with new potatoes, peas and spinach for me and wild mushrooms linguine for hubby. Very lovely staff, happy greeting on arrival, clean and comfortable venue, reasonably priced, we will definitely be visiting again.

Food average, nothing very good. atmosphere dreadful, stuck at end of room, felt very cold away from main seating area. Nothing on walls, could'nt sit at bar for a drink. First and last time.

We would like to thank everyone at the Sugar Beat Eating House for being so accommodating during our visit. We booked the private room for a team meeting, the pastries at breakfast time were delicious and we were very well looked after in terms of drinks etc throughout the morning. . We then moved into the main restaurant area for lunch, the waitress was brilliant, so was the food and we weren’t rushed off the table either, which is always nice. The main restaurant was very busy, that’s always a sign that it’s a good place to eat when it’s that popular on a Wednesday lunchtime. Thank you to all the team, we will definitely be back again.

As always, a great breakfast with even greater staff. Well done to everyone concerned. I go here for breakfast at least four times a month and have never been disappointed

Had a pretty decent meal here. Can i just say the prawns were beyond amazing, good in number, plump and crispy...but the noodles were uninspiring and felt a bit unloved compared to the prawns. The other photos that feature below include the chicken burger, the halloumi burger and some sharing nachos. Decent if you are hungry...I did have a bit of burger envy...! Portions are big...so no room for dessert ... don't think I would rush back which is a shame as those prawns were so good, but wouldn't be adverse to going back either...

Excellent experience with my friend Laura today, shout out to Kieran who I liked, nice and smart, he was very friendly and a happy chap. Well done team will be back for more great food and service thanks, Aaron

Delicious food, good staff, good atmosphere and clean. 1st time eating there and discovered by chance. Recommended. Worth visiting again.

We arrived for a family meal there was 5 of us seated very quickly and given menus. Front of house was amazing at looking after us. However the food was not great the hunters chicken was very dry, the duck leg over cooked and rock hard. The chilli chicken was nice but only had about 4 bits of chicken on the dish, this place used to be one for our best places to eat however it is going to down hill in the food , which is a major disappointment!!!

The food was great in the restaurant, and the wait staff were good. All the problems were with everything else. The room was 1000 degrees the mattress was 1000 years old with a mattress topper straight from a bargain bin. They supplied an old cot for my 3 months old daughter that seemed to have old wall panelling at the bottom as a base. Nothing has changed since the BNB was on four in a bed everything out dated and old. Revision The SugarBeat hotel manager called me personally to rectify the situation, he went above and beyond apologise and to mak sure this didn't happen to anyone else. I fully believe he and the others that work at the SugarBeat will get it right in the future, and speaking with Stevie I would consider staying again.

Hosted a 90th birthday meal for my in law yesterday. She loved being centre of attention & the surprise guests who joined us. We had use of the little private dining room & were able to close the door for more privacy. Nothing was too much trouble, from turning the music off as the birthday girl disliked it as it made it uncomfortable with her hearing aids, to ensuring we had all we needed. Food was delicious, company great, location perfect - we couldn't have asked for more. The staff made the special occasion something she will be talking about for weeks. Thank you!!

My first time going to sugarbeat and I loved it! We ordered a Pretzel milkshake and a lemon and lime. Both great drinks! For food we had the loaded Macaroni cheese nachos. These were incredible! The macaroni cheese was one of the best I’ve ever had! Loaded with crispy onions, side bowls of guacamole, salsa and sour cream! Perfect on its own as a main meal. I had the 8oz Steak! It came with onion rings, salad, a side of peppercorn sauce and I asked for the skinny fries instead. Amazing all such incredible food! You can tell it’s all home made and really good quality ingredients. The atmosphere and seating is really nice. I also think the price is great even with how big the portions are! Lastly the staff were great lovely! I would 100% recommend going!

Excellent meal and service highly recommend

Fabulous breakfast with top service in a bustling pub, highly recommend a meal here!

Really friendly and helpful staff the food was delicious would recommend this from couples go families the menu caters for all

Was very disappointed with the food! I had Confit Duck leg which was very overcooked on one side which made the meat very tough to eat. Sitting on a very large bed of red cabbage, diced carrots and mash potatoes. The potatoes were awful not creamy in fact no taste I wondered if they were instant mash! Had Crème Brûlée for desert in a cup which was so thick and stodgy I couldn’t eat much at all. I complained about the desert, the server said she would tell the chef and asked if we would like anything else instead. So we decided on a pot of tea each. On getting the bill was charged for the desert and the tea! This a very typical venue nowadays where sound bounces of the walls etc. There were people celebrating a birthday on one table apparently and the noise was absolutely horrendous! Will not be going back!

Very good restaurant /rooms available for a pleasant stay and good breakfast not far from NORWICH CITY FOR A VISIT food and drinks very good atmosphere and friendly polite staff nothing too much trouble large car park just off the A140 a must visit .

Always top quality food and service. Staff very efficient and helpful.

12 of us in our family group had a fantastic dinner, All the food was of an excellent standard and great value for money. Service was equally as good all staff were very helpful and efficient. Thank you all.

Absolutely gorgeous food and excellent staff 👌 Definitely will be returning to try the breakfast

Came for a late lunch with friends and had a great meal. Fantastic service and they looked after the kids amazingly. I had the butter chicken burger and chips and then shared the cookie dough for dessert. Husband had fish and chips. We both enjoyed our meals.

You have to make a point of visiting to try one of their superb cooked breakfasts....you won't be disappointed in the quality, quantity or price! And to top it all the service received has always been second to none. We will be back again soon.

Great place to stay. Room was bright, comfortable and clean, with everything i needed. Despite challenges with the booking, staff perservered and got it sorted. Food options were good. Definitely recommend

The staff was outstanding with great hospitality skills. The breakfast very tasted with zero faults on quality and taste. Eventhough room being an attic conversion was huge in size, the tilted ceilings we ended up banging our heads on the wall several times was painful and annoying. The shower drain was blocked even with shower having hardly no flow and little stones lying around on the bathroom floor. The air-conditioning unit had no power so very sweaty sleeping. Nevertheless, the breakfast and all the staff outruns the poor feedback but hope the hotel can rectify these issues to gain 5 star.

Absolutely superb: one of the best breakfasts we’ve ever had, and very reasonably priced. High quality food and warm, friendly, efficient service. We’ll definitely go back!

Ten out of ten every time. Cannot Fault it. Superb!

Love, love, love this place. Excellent food, great friendly professional staff. Fabulous accommodation. Great for family get together, couples. Very reasonably priced. Do visit.

Just had a birthday breakfast here, great food as usual, and nice greeting when we arrived its good to be back and will be again soon! Cheers.

We booked a night's accommodation with breakfast with an experience voucher and have to say it's one of the nicest places we've ever stayed. The room was a good size, clean and cosy with a king size bed and even had a drinks fridge containing chilled water and milk. We also enjoyed an evening meal during our stay which we both found delicious. There was no doubt that the food was freshly prepared and to a high standard. Breakfast in the morning was also superb and plentiful. The service we experienced throughout our stay was excellent. Everyone who served us was so pleasant and attentive. This is a great place to stay and/or eat and is only a short drive from Norwich centre. Highly recommended. Thanks for making our stay so pleasant!

Stopped for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. Certainly more than ‘pub grub’ large selection of meals with plenty of Gluten Free options. Staff super helpful and knowledgeable with allergies. Highly recommend!

We were so lucky choosing your hotel on our visit to the lotus factory, first impressions count the staff were so friendly and helpful, the food for our evening meal could not have been better, the room was a good size and spotlessly clean with everything you would need for the stay, breakfast was fantastic, our stay was great 👍

The best service 👌 The rooms are very clean and spacious with great sized bedrooms Excellent food at the restaurant 😋 We will get back soon Thank you

Had a absolute lovely meal,as did my partner. I opted for sweet chilli chicken and my partner the hunter's chicken. The staff we're very attentive and made a very enjoyable night,would highly recommend

Stayed for 2 nights , lovely comfortable bed , fridge in room which was a nice touch / On a main road , so easy to find , but no road noise . Lots of parking Food for breakfast and dinner was excellent and good menu options . All of the staff were excellent , especially Georgia and Keiran , nothing too much trouble for anybody . Would thoroughly recommend and will return when next in area .

Have eaten here lots but not stayed in the rooms as only down the road from us. Food is consistently good, we’ve eaten breakfast time, lunch & dinner on many occasions. The service is always good and friendly too. We have even held a 5th birthday party here, in the garden. They are always keen to listen and accommodate where they can. Definitely recommend a visit for either a typical meal out, or any special occasion.

I have eaten at the Sugarbeat on multiple occasions (apologies it's taken me this long to write a review!) Every time the food has been delicious and the staff friendly and generally pretty amazing! We popped in for breakfast at the weekend, we had a table of 7 and only 2 of us didn't make changes to the menu options! Every plate was spot on and exactly what we ordered. I rarely clear my plate from a full English and I am super fussy with my bacon... I cleared my plate and started on other peoples too!!! Highly recommend this establishment! Great side room for meetings too, attended meetings and training sessions in here and again, always well looked after!

Sugarbeat is by far our favourite place to eat. The food is always spot on - delicious and reasonably priced. The staff are so friendly - nothing is ever too much trouble and our children are always made to feel welcome. If you’re visiting I highly recommend the cheesecake. Because no matter what the flavour is it’s always the best cheesecake around! Roll on the summer so we can enjoy our meals in the lovely outside area

Love this place. Food amazing. Service is great. Staff are friendly

Food in there is great as is the service.

Stopped just for a little bit of lunch

Great place and seems very popular. I stopped for coffee and lunch on my way to a meeting, the staff were welcoming and cheerful. The food was lovely and freshly cooked, the crisps were to die for!

We ate here on 2 occasions, the food was tasty and well presented and good value for money. Staff friendly and a quick service. The only criticism is the restaurant is not easy to spot from a very busy road, having the sign lit up would help.

I took my mum and dad there for a treat,and what a treat it was. The service was brilliant right from start to finish and the food was amazing I can highly recommend the southern fried chicken burger it was mouth watering.So if you're reading this all I can say is you won't be disappointed give it a try Steve Talby

Never have I left a review before but I felt sugarbeat eating house deserves the credit we had a 3 night stay here and can't say a bad word about it friendly staff nice room with all you need to feel comfortable the breakfast was fantastic with a great choice to choice we also ate dinner here all 3 nights witch was also very nice from would defiantly recommend this place to anyone looking for a short break 5 star well deserved 👏

Plenty of parking, always tasty food and reasonably priced

Every part of our experience will ensure we return

Very disappointed. Hair found in food . Got the issue resolved and wasn't very happy with the outcome

A group of 10 came here today for a surprise 60th birthday. What a fantastic place. Food was amazing, nothing left on the plates. Communication with Stevie when organising the event was very good. It was very busy with other customers and a surprise 50th birthday also, but service was excellent and nothing too much trouble for any of the staff. I would highly recommend and will definitely be visiting again. Thank you 😊

We came to sugarbeat for breakfast at the weekend and really enjoyed it. Great staff, lovely coffee and delicious food.

Staff excellent, very friendly & polite. Food quality great. Rooms very clean & comfortable. Great breakfast. Would definitely stay again.

Amazing Roast and very attentive and friendly staff

Lovely meal for four people. Nice atmosphere good seating good service and tasty fair prices food, we will return soon.

Excellent tasty food and a comprehensive, reasonably priced menu. Plenty of car parking. I had the chicken dinner which was very tasty. Will return soon.

Absolutely love this place! Food is beautiful and staff are all so friendly 🙂

Enjoyable stay. Lovely room, comfy bed, nice shower. Really tasty breakfast and cherry polite service.

Really nice food well presented, service was second to none,

Good meal ,wide choice of foods .we DIDN'T stay in hotel

I joined a group of 13 ladies here today for lunch. The food was excellent and service very good. The young man in charge was very pleasant and anxious every thing was right. All staff were pleasant and helpful.

Lovely food but slow service. Were there two hours and only got to eat the mains. Gave in waiting for a dessert. Wouldnt go again near Christmas as Christmas parties took priority.

Xmas party. All three courses tasted absolutely fabulous. Would highly recommend

Stayed overnight in room Vancouver. Very bright modern room, comfortable and warm. Bathing facilities excellent. Generous supply of towels. Breakfast served from 9.00 -10.30. Modern restaurant and pub. Good friendly staffing. Variety and quality of meals excellent. A place to bring children family or friends. Good pricing for such facilities

Five of us went in for breakfast today. The welcome was warm and cheerful. The service was excellent - attentive without being over the top. I strongly recommend Eggs Royale - quite the best I have eaten - thank you chef. We will be back in future.

Had a lovely lunch here yesterday. Portions were generous and reasonably priced. Service was quick and courteous. Would certainly eat here again and recommend it.

Very warm and friendly greetings on arrival. We both appreciated the Lacons real ale, well worth a try. The food arrived quickly and with a smile. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her chicken and French fries, my gammon was a generous size but the fried eggs were well overcooked and the large chips were not crisp. To be fair the waitress did ask if anything was ok but we were too tired to point out the shortcomings mentioned.

This is a great place for an amazing breakfast. As a family we have visited a few times & its always the same great standard. Many options available & great value for money. Looking forward to visiting again very soon.

Me, my friends and family always come to sugarbeat for food on a very consistent basis as the food, drinks and service is always great. They have a wide variety on the menu from classic pub food to more modern dishes and a diverse specials menu. My personal favourites are all the burgers and the pork tenderloin which was on the specials menu. Their breakfasts are also one of the best in the local area offering a good selection of options with the big beat being a personal favourite. Even when the venue is busy and packed it always feels like you are being looked after. This extends into the kitchen who are always accommodating to needs and special requirements.

We came here for a quick stop on the way to Norwich, didn't have a booking but they sat us down straight away. We only had mains & they were lovely. I can highly recommend the Sea Bass with Thai Green Curry Sauce... that was absolutely delicious!! Thanks again for a great meal.

Just had breakfast here. The service is impressive and the food is amazing. Well worth a stop. Will be back in the future.

5 star. Excellent food, value for money & staff! This was a random find for my husband and I for a ‘Spot of lunch on a Saturday’ and we were impressed. Fantastic food, value for money and the staff were ever so lovely. Lovely sunny day and lovely seating outside for a drink to relax and lovely ambience. We will definitely be returning as we live locally.

We had a lovely stay. Our room was comfortable, with air con and proper milk provided in the fridge. Towels were large and fluffy . Breakfast is a must, very tasty and plentiful.

Yet another fantastic meal! Second visit in two weeks and I can’t wait to go again to try something else. I had Hunters Chicken on both visits as it was so good. Staff are friendly, making sure we had everything we needed but not too over the top! Great team at front of house! Desserts looked amazing coming out so of course I left room for one… the cheesecake was sublime. Very clean restaurant area and well spaced out tables. Would highly recommend a visit.

My wife and I came for dinner and, it was fantastic my wife had the halloumi burger and I had the Beat burger with a side of onion rings, the food was yummy and well worth the money

Well excellent from arrival to departure Checked in by very pleasant lady (Dotty) Taken to room which was very clean Plenty of tea/ coffee and fresh milk in fridge Good shower and fluffy towels Evening meal excellent and good service Top Notch Tasty Pub Grub Up graded to large breakfast (mistake it is massive) quality produce on plate , so no complaints at all. Perhaps would of been nice to be offered juice. The only reason not scored a 5 is breakfast not served till 9am Do not be put off by cheap price it's a real bargain I WILL BE BACK EVERY MONTH FROM NOW ON Sea you very soon

This was a great place too eat friendly staff and the food was nice and hot .we were a family off 8 and we gait our food all together . Place was nice and clean will go again

First time at this pub. We had a very nice meal sitting outside. Typical pub food menu but what we both chose was tasty and the staff were very friendly and attentive. We were glad we went.

This bistro/hotel is well placed as a stop for lunch/dinner on the main road. The lunch menu is extensive, nothing fancy but adequate. The staff are friendly and service is efficient.

Nice place ( although outside at the front looks quite unappealing) Free coffee was hot and tasty if a little small. All slopped into the saucer by the waitress who did very little to remedy this! However- delicious brunch. Generous portions. Perfectly cooked. Absolutely yummy!

Food was so fresh and flavoursome, the seabass was very good. This is incredible value for money and not good reminiscent of usual ‘pub grub’. Lovely friendly, attentive staff- highly recommend a visit.
