Very weird experience. Booked a birthday meal, only to be turned away at the door because we “didn’t meet the dress code”. This states - “smart casual and no sports wear”. We would’ve understood if we were in full tracksuits or gymwear but we were dressed smart-casual with presence of small sports brand logos so be aware - if you are going to have a dress code this needs to be made completely transparent to include absolutely NO sports branding whatsoever as lots of men’s fashion is now centred around sports/leisurewear and is designed to look smart! Not sure what sort of clientele they’re aiming to attract with this dress code as the restaurant was near enough empty? We’ve had exceptionally good experiences in the past and never been questioned on attire but this was wholly disappointing and honestly we wouldn’t bother to return or continue to recommend to friends or family as it felt so unwelcoming. Such a shame for what was once such a great organic business, which has got a bit too big for its (non sport branded) boots.

I am very disappointed on my first visit to your restaurant. I was asked for ID to begin with. I am 30yrs old 😂 and I was much older that the young boy who served me. Me and my partner ordered a burger each. It took 45 minutes for it to arrive and within a meter of our table it was then dropped over the floor. The waiter quickly threw it back onto the plate, and took it back to the kitchen whilst we watched. I then thought ‘great another 45mins wait’ this wasn’t the case. Within a minute the same burgers came out. We was then asked 4-5 times if the burgers were alright… this completely put us off the food and we knew they had just been thrown back together and put on the plate again. Very disappointing and embarrassing for Prime as a restaurant. We asked for the bill, and when I brought this issue up, I was told no no, the chefs would have given you fresh burgers from another table (not realising we asked to remove things and add different stuff. Maybe it was an absolute coincidence another table ordered the same edited burger as both of us… hmmm. We was then charged for food that we had ordered and not even received as well. There was no care from the waiter and we was charged full price for floor food, an absolute appalling service. I am actually considering of contacting EHO about this as it’s absolutely disgusting.

1st and last time we will visit, like some previous reviews say average at best, nothing to shout home about for the price and you have to cook it yourself which is the novelty factor but while it cooks off the rest of the food went cold. Portion size not the biggest and so lots of extras on top of a £35+ steak will be required. Service and atmosphere ok our table came with order mixed up different sauce on wrong plates, such a shame. On a positive I can recommend the ice cream / waffle house across the road for desert to fill up on for 1/2 the price.

My girlfriend took me here as a birthday dinner, she requested roses as decoration. Food was great but when the bill came we were aware that we had to pay for the roses which were £15. She was never told that the roses had a price. The waiters couldn’t offer any further assistance rather than making us pay the £15. Everything else apart from this was great.

Nice atmosphere and attentive waitress (was happy to make a basic cocktail that wasn’t on the menu!) Only negative - This place needs air con!! 30 degrees outside- and everyone cooking steaks on a hot rock…We skipped deserts as we couldn’t sit in the heat any longer!

Got kicked out of Prime tonight because we didn’t reach the dress code. No wonder they have no one in the restaurant. The manager was very rude and wouldn’t even talk to us. The restaurant was empty. Had a lovely meal in the yard with friendly staff. Won’t go back to Prime, even though my daughter had forty friends for her thirtieth there last year.

Having written two 5 star reviews in the past I have to say I was very disappointed and surprised by our experience this time. When I called to book a lunch I was told that they had a dress code that if we failed we would not be allowed in I have never been told this before No sports clothes I think he said I didn’t understand as having visited multiple times with teenagers and always being treated impeccably I was confused as to why it was even mentioned on the phone but I waited and went in alone and was told that my outfit wasn’t acceptable after 3pm Black slack trousers and a soft white cashmere top The boys were determined as a birthday and as we were told that we could actually go in before 3pm in the outfits we had on and scraped in at 2.50pm We were a table of 4 and spent £200 and left a £20 cash tip We were one of only 3 tables in the restaurant and only one server who was lovely but the bearer of the bad news that we didn’t meet dress code for after 3pm I think the discomfort of being assessed on the phone was bad enough, then in person was worse but obviously an empty restaurant didn’t need our money or our attire, we won’t be back this time was my last time

The many shifting fortunes of this fine, central bar seem to have finally landed in a safe pair of hands. The beer is well kept, the atmosphere is lovely without being too wild. I'd say this is a great stop off for drinks before launching yourself to any one of the nearby clubs or a good place for a first date drink!

We came here on a relaxing Sunday afternoon, nice little bar on the corner. Great little area of Norwich to pop into and try a drink. I expect it must get busy here on Saturday nights but we were happy with the slower pace. Music was nice and set a nice relaxing atmosphere, not too loud. I really liked their furniture, their high tables looked great in the setting. Drinks were roughly £5.50 each, I had a Cruzcampo and my other half had a cherries and berries cider. Well worth a visit if you ever in Norwich. Next stop after this is brew dog,

We had promised ourselves a visit to Prime (in its new location) since having a great meal at the Edit Cavell venue. It was well worth the wait. The staff were great, super friendly and engaging whilst not being over powering. We had two starters, chicken lollipops and fish and chips, both were great and would definitely recommend. The steaks were just what we had hoped for - we went with a sirloin and two ribeye, sides included thick cut chips, garlic mushrooms, onion rings and potato rosti - 10/10. After letting everything settle we then enjoyed two puddings and a compliment birthday dessert - we couldn't fault it. 100% recommended - already planning on heading back in the New Year - Thank you Prime for a great night - thoroughly enjoyed by us all!!!!

Firstly I must say the service was good. The bar man was lovely, very attentive and knew a lot about his wines. The setting is a bit odd for lunch, very dark all painted black/dark blue and it felt more night club than restaurant. We were taken through to the back which was also very dark… nicely done but no windows so felt much more of an evening than day time place. We had the set menu, the starter I gave 4/10. The bbq chicken Caesar salad was just ok. It was chicken, lettuce, powdered Parmesan and some soggy croutons. We ate it but it was very underwhelming. Then we had the miso salmon, it was very salty, very garlicky and the sweet potato mash had an unpleasant grainy texture. Good value at £20 but sadly not very nice :-/ Wouldn’t rush back.

Beer was bad and mangers response was rude as we gave the first pint the benefit or the doubt so some tipped over beers (2nd pint) on the bar not any staff went to a different pub and manger came in and tipped over a beer and run away. Manger was either a idiot or stupid as we could have taken him a proper pint but we did not escalate. And if he has proof of tipping a beer over staff produce it!!!

Excellent steak! Just perfect! My husband and I visited Prime on a passing whim. It is strangely atmospheric, but bear with! We had amazing cocktails. Excellent starters.I had the plaice,totally amazing. My hubby had the chicken lollipops,delicious. We were then tempted by the Porterhouse steak for two. My goodness,totally wonderful! It is presented on a board with bone adjacent,we both had hot stones with accoutrements of chimichurri rub with peppercorn(for hubs) all the cheeses for moisture, garlic and parmesan rub with blue cheese sauce. It was carnivore heaven! A treat,but we are worth it! Go on, try it,you know you deserve it! staff adorable. Brilliant lunch,just that little bit special. Thanks Prime,you made our day! X

Another great night and now the meat is pre seasoned Clothes were as they were when we arrived ♥️ saying never bothered me previously . The service was 11/10 really cannot praise the extra mile the team went with starters and mains 👍 Only minor critique is I think it’s time for new hot stones getting worn and wobbly 👍 rest is perfect

Overpriced, rude staff, poor use of very limited space with tacky decor and uncomfortable bar stools (though none at the actual bar for some reason?). Bizarre atmosphere - it can’t seem to work out if it’s a comfy ale bar or a mini night club, blaring noisy 00’s pop music to a near-empty Friday night. Coffees and cocktails are made by a machine, and half the food can only be ordered on Deliveroo. Feels a bit like you asked an AI to make a venue! Edit: contrary to the owner’s comments I have never worked for Edith Cavell though I have been a customer several times - I was even photographed in the paper as their first customer when they reopened this summer. I do know someone who has worked here and was unfairly dismissed for calling in sick due to a long-term kidney condition. I chose not to mention that and keep my review specific to my experience of the venue which has been consistently poor.

Hope my experience was unusual, as do like steak and unfortunately there are so few decent eateries in Norwich. When into this place earlier in the week, no one to greet us, no one at the bar, in fact no one anywhere at all. Dim lighting, (very dim), with weird blue tones, and the restaurant apparently round the back somewhere. Made it feel like I'd entered Platinum Lace! Will try again another day to eat there, but experience so far has been really off-putting.

This was our first time at the new venue for Prime and must say they have done a fantastic job with the decor. Upon arrival you are met with an art deco theme, resembling a swanky up market London restaurant. There is a real sense of grandeur at this new location. To the food and service. For me the novelty of cooking your steak at your table has now worn off. It's a really good gimmick, however when going out for a meal the last thing I want to do is cook my meal.. If the steaks are to be cooked at the table going forward I'd suggest better ventilation above the tables. I'm think given this the cost for the evening out is on the heavy/expensive side. I think if the meal was prepared in the kitchen without input from the customers you could justify the cost to the meal. The table service was excellent and staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Would I return again.. I'm not sure! I think there are better restaurants out there, maybe not steakhouses I would add. The meal itself doesn't meat the fancy feel of the venue and if you are after finery I would go elsewhere. To become better it might be time to give up the gimmick of cooking the steak yourself to elevate this place to the next level.

Unfortunately, my mum and 73 year old nanny were nearly physically attacked today by the so-called landlord who looked like he was nearly past his expiry date. He got in their face, in the women’s toilets, for wanting to use the toilet. My mum had an empty can which he snatched out of her hand. Correct me if I’m wrong but I wasn’t aware this was illegal, and definitely doesn’t elicit physical and verbal abuse. If you enjoy being verbally and physically abused, feel free to enjoy your time at Edith Cavell. * in response to your sarcastic reply: Call me old fashioned, but squaring up to and shouting in someone's face isn't a very pleasant experience and certainly isn't an acceptable response in any circumstance. This, alongside verbal abuse (insulting my mum on what she was wearing - a maxi dress and trainers), and snatching something out of someone's hand is in fact assault. You were extremely threatening and rude and your condescending response shows your attitude. My mum had an empty can and was not using your toilet, but was instead assisting her mother - who paid you £5 for using the toilet, despite your arrogant and threatening demeanour. You soon took that £5!

We loved Prime when it was above Edith Cavell but didn't enjoy leaving smelling like roast beef. Well Prime has totally got that sorted now. Having discovered that not melting butter or the condiments on the rocks means no smoke, you can go and have an amazing meal without smelling like a bbq! It has a totally different feel too, the lighting is intimate, took a while for my eyes to adjust but then I felt it was just me and hubby in the restaurant and we forgot everyone around us, it felt very special. A big mention for Stefan who was excellent and one of the most professional and knowledgeable hosts we've experienced. Thank you! I feel Prime has really upped its game. It's not cheap but it was totally worth every penny. This was also to celebrate our wedding anniversary so we were willing to push the boat out. The food and cocktails were absolutely delicious. In summary - one of the best meals we'd had in a long time!

This was our second recent visit and we again opted for the ‘Set Lunch Menu’ as we feel that this is good value for money. Starters are tasty and just the right quantity. We like the option of self cooking your steak so opted for this and between us had the two steak choices and burger. The steaks were very tender and flavoursome especially as the were ‘done’ exactly how we wanted, the medium rare burger also getting the seal of approval. There was just about enough room for desert and our four different choices were all pleasant and enjoyable. There is a good drinks menu but with the wines, though enjoyable, marked up to at prices somewhat higher than they should be.

We visited Molten, a cosy fondue restaurant above the Edith Cavell pub on a Friday eve when the pub was very busy, but upstairs in the restaurant it's a more quiet and relaxed atmosphere. The fondue menu is a 2 or 3 course set menu and between 4 of us we opted for 4 starter cheese fondues, 2 mains and 1 dessert... We all agreed the cheese fondue, which comes served with very good bread, was delicious... Gooey, exceedingly cheesey, well flavoured and extra bread given when requested to mop every last drop.. The main fondue is served as a cook yourself option, and we had one meat, and one vegetarian option...both served with a selection of dips and some side vegetables. The meat eaters were happy, not overwhelmed... but the vegetarian option consisted of some cubed tofu and gnocchi..both flavourless and just didn't work in a pot of boiling oil with the gnocchi completely falling apart in the oil, which we had been warned about when it was served 🤷‍♀️. We left most of it and have to say without doubt, in over 50 years of being vegetarian this was undoubtedly one of the worst dishes ever to have been served.. The final chocolate fondue however, was again fab and we all agreed that had we stuck to the starter and dessert options it would have been a great meal. Despite the main course we all had a fun evening, it's a different dining experience which is relaxed and unhurried... cocktails, drinks and service were all good and would recommend giving it a go for just the cheese and chocolate options..

Great location near the Cathedral but not too busy. Good open sandwiches and cider. Friendly, obliging staff. Only drawback for mobility challenged is that toilets are upstairs.

Amazing food! One of the best meals I’ve had out for a long time. The staff were very friendly and you could tell they enjoyed their job. The atmosphere & decor was something a bit different too! We’ll definitely be visiting again 😊

A lunchtime visit on a bright, icy winters day in late November. A gorgous Victorian pub which is comforting, friendly and boosting a wood burner and local cat called Andy. Six cask ales, all in top condition. A short but delicious menu with dishes that are packed in flavour and beautifully crafted. I wish it was my local.

Taster menu and wine flight. Food well presented, service average. Food generally tasteless. Parsnip soup not particularly spicy and bland, gravlax like 1970s smoked salmon, venison very bland. Not usually a chocolate eater for pudding the take on Terrys chocolate orange I concede was delicious as was the pudding wine. With the exception of 2 of the white wines, you’d get a better wine flight from Lidl … decent but not really worth 55 of the King’s pound.

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.
