The Lawyer in Norwich

Mucha gente realmente pretenciosa con camisas de diseñador que fingen tener éxito. Quiero decir, vi a un chico con una camisa inteligente haciendo clic en sus dedos con un crujiente 20. ¿Qué es todo eso? Es un millón de millas de éxito genuino. tarjetas de credito y mucho frente. no para mí todo

El servicio prestado fue muy bueno. El personal estaba bien entrenado y servicial. La comida que comí era de una calidad razonable pero no estaba caliente cuando se servía. Esto fue una pena, pero acepta que estaban muy ocupados.

Llamé para una bebida refrescante la semana pasada. El personal era muy agradable y los precios razonables. Vale la pena una visita

utilicé este encantador lugar como base para la noche de despedida de mis hermanos en Norwich, el personal fue muy amable y el ambiente era animado pero muy aceptable, bien vale la pena una visita

Pub encantador en lo que considero que es la mejor parte de Norwich para beber tarde en la noche. Las bebidas y el servicio fueron buenos.

Bit more expensive than the Wetherspoons opposite! But that aside, not a bad bar, staff OK and plenty of places to grab a seat. Not too many in, so a bit quiet with not much atmosphere. Worth a visit though

Went here for my birthday, lovely location, fantastic selection of tapas, especially the mussels, staff good

There were only 2 of us so more a visit of pubs. The Lawyer looks a little uninviting from the outside as it is quite dark. Do not let this put you off. The pub is lovely inside and the staff were very welcoming. Although it was a week night and we only stopped for one drink we would happily visit again and recommend a visit should you be in the area.

Warning - my daughter was asked to attend for a trial shift today at 5:30pm. I know it was 5:30 because I was standing in the room when she confirmed the time. She turned up at 5:20 to be told by a real butch behind the bar that she was late and to go home. Horrible place and horrible staff who laughed at her when she burst into tears.

This was opposite our hotel handy very friendly staff good range off beers and decent menu best pulled beer we had in Norwich give it a go

This is a lovely bar. I have been many times and have never been disappointed! I have taken friends that have visited Norwich and they have been quite taken by the place. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.

The staff who looked after us before and on the night of our party provided outstanding customer service and I would be surprised if anyone could beat it. The chef produced a wonderful selection of food for our guests (pulled pork and falafel home made focaccia rolls)- they were delicious and we've received many complements from those who attended. We would have no hesitation in recommending the Lawyer for your party. The central location is ideal, nothing is too much trouble for the staff, and the atmosphere is lovely. Thanks to all!

A lovely spot to meet friends - I have also recently visited with family. Food was great on both occasions. Staff very nice. Did not feel under pressure to order in a hurry or to order vast quantities ( when I visited with girl friends we only ordered a dish each and drank quite a bit instead ).

Nice pub offering a decent pint of ale accompanied by a hearty Sunday roast. Polite service and reasonably priced.

Visited to try out the food of 42 King Street who have recently joined the Lawyer kitchen. Amazing food, fabulous staff and a warm, busy and inviting atmosphere. Will be back!

Have not been here for about two years but we decided to do the walk along there towards Magdalen St. It hasn't changed much but it still had a good atmosphere. When we went it wasn't very busy so had lost the 'buzz' it used to have.

Stopped off here for pre dinner drinks, and post dinner ones too !Arrived in town and got dropped off, a good selection of real ales on tap, and great (well in my taste) music in the background.After dinner, we came back to watch the football, while waiting for a taxi back. When the taxi arrived, I was actually sorry to leave !Nice pub, good beers, and pleasant staff.

Good city centre pub with very good selection of real ales and lagers. Friendly staff who sorted out a table for our group and looked after us really well.

Organised a surprise party for a friend here staff were very helpful. Dropped off a box of decorations in the afternoon and Lucy did a great job of decorating the party area looked lovely - thank you

Was totally surprised by the quality of the food here. Been here twice and both times it has been lovely. The tapas is worth a look

In the centre of Norwich, The Lawyer provides a good range of beers and wines. Good service. We had Sunday lunch with friends, standard fare but well cooked and presented, and not expensive for a city centre.

Went to The Lawyer expecting to eat only to be told that they have (just) stopped offering food although their website hasn't yet been changed and still shows a menu.

Pleasant pub. Large wine list. I can recommend the flat iron steak. Our server was really helpful and attentive and overall our party of 6 enjoyed the visit

Very warm, cosy pub.... found it hard on our 1st visit to Norwich to find one like this. Great music and friendly staff. Chairs to the back are really nice and cosy, tealights and flowers are a very nice touch.

Went in the evening with family, around 7.30 pm and was very quiet. Food was nice, and plenty of choice. Service was good too. Beware of bill though, they added 2 extra coffee's on, but I am sure this was a simple mistake.

It was very quiet when we went, we were the only ones eating, but food was very good, as was the service. A bit prices for what is essentially a pub/bar but we had a spree voucher which brought the price down.

We tried here for somewhere different as not been to eat here, as we had a spree voucher we had to choose something a la carte, what we had was very nice and worth a visit but can be a bit pricey, but you pay or the quality of the food, we visited with a spree voucher so had money off. Will probably visit again, staff were friendly enough and not rude which i think is always a bonus as some places suddenly lose interest once they find out you have a voucher with money off and plus we have visited other pubs which are owned by the same landlord and received good service - ie The unthank arms and trafford arms in norwich

I went here today for a fabulous 3 course meal with my son. The food was served to perfection and I highly recommend others to check out this hidden gem in Norwich.

Hadnt been hear for ages to eat as think they previously did Thai food (which I not too keen on). So thought would give it a go now the menu has changed and was tempted in by the Fizz Friday offer (bottle of fizz and some choc covered strawberries for £15). We were celebrating our friends engagement so the bubbles were perfect!! The whole night was great and the staff were excellent throughout, looking after us but giving us time when needed! We started in the bar but got a bit noisy so they happily moved us further into the restaurant type area which was still really nice. The decor was cool- a mix of funky pub and trendy wine bar rolled into one! Even the toilets were cool! The food was great- I had the flat iron steak with garlic butter- it was amazing! Perfectly cooked and alot more meat than I expected for the type of steak and the price (£12 ish I think)- one of the best steaks I have had (and I love my steak!). The chips were gorgeous too, crispy and chunky, soft and fluffy in the middle- yummy. My hubby has fish and chips which was nice but there were lots of options for him too- he doesnt eat meat. There were some good special options too. We squeezed in a pudding and I had Key Lime Tart which was yummy! Others had choc fudge cake, white choc and strawberry tart and sticky toffee and date pudding- all were really gorgeous! All the food was presented beautifully which made every dish seem really special and more expensive than it was. Huge compliments to the talented chef and kitchen staff and the bar and waiting staff were amazing too! We had a brilliant evening with great food and service- we would recommend to anyone and we will back soon!

Beautifully presented with very welcoming and accommodating and professional staff, the only thing that put me of was the food served on wooden plates. While it was very nice (if small portions!) the food was served on rather worn wooden plates. I didn't finish my meal because of this and found it of putting as am not sure how hygienic this is (lots of cracks on the wood) I once heard that the chopping board is the least hygienic surface in the kitchen ....

Would echo what prev reviewer said. Depends what you are used to I guess.This is a basic roast. Nothing bad about it at all. We devoured it. The veg is relatively bland, and the potatoes weren't stunning. It is what it is - an amazing value £10 roast! Tasty and prob much better than The Georgian Townhouse- there are lots better though like The White Lion, The Black Horse and Earlham Arms all around the £10 mark. Would we go back- yes definitely. Like the pub. Nice choice of drinks. Nice window seat to gaze out. Like the service.Guess we were surprised however The Lawyer with its reputation wouldn't have laid on something with a little more finesse. ( not a criticism- just a thought )..

Fairly average Sunday roast. The roasted potatoes and parsnips were not cooked long enough and the vegetables were fairly bland. The Yorkshire puddings were homemade though! The pub is nice and the service was good.

Was supposed to eat at The Glasshouse across the road but it was full of footy fans and very, very noisy. Checked Trip Advisor and The Lawyer was highly recommended. Did not disappoint. Great place.

...they may have been having an off day but there were no lagers or soft drinks on tap. Subdued, not much atmosphere. Wine list was ok - but underwhelming and I returned my first glass of wine as it had something unidentifiable floating in it!

Nice comfy pub for some quick refreshment after an afternoon in the City.Didn't eat but the menu looked appealing and will definitely re visit

We went to the Lawyer for the first time yesterday and had a Sunday roast - my partner had roast beef and I chose the slow-roast pork belly. Both were cooked to perfection, served with broccoli, carrots, roast potatoes and parsnips and the lightest, fluffiest Yorkshire pudding ever, with a red wine gravy. This was one of the best Sunday roasts we have ever had - absolutely gorgeous. We shared a trio of chocolate desserts and together with a decent bottle of house red, it came to just under £40 - very good value. The staff were polite and efficient and the meals were piping hot and arrived quickly. We were surprised there weren't more customers enjoying an Easter Sunday lunch - it was fairly quiet when we arrived at about 2pm. We'll definitely be back to sample some more dishes from the main menu, which looked very tempting and if it's cooked to the same standard as our meal yesterday, we'll be very happy. Compliments to the chef - this was a fantastic meal. Give the Lawyer a try next time you're out for Sunday lunch - hopefully you'll be as impressed as we were.

Munroe's at The Lawyer came highly recommended for Sunday brunch so we decided to try it even though it was 20 mins walk from our B&B. We enjoyed a family stroll along the river, through beautiful streets past quaint houses. And Munroe's was certainly worth making the effort. We chose 7 different meals, with some extras added! Nothing was a problem! We enjoyed a Bucks Fizz before the food was served. Everything was excellent. I even got my coffee with my food which is hard to come by in brunch restaurants. Will definitely visit Norwich again, and look forward to sampling the dinner menu in Munroe's on our next visit :)

Hidden gem, Munroes restaurant within the lawyer pub, excellent food, great for dinner, breakfast or brunch. Stumbled across this brilliant restaurant by chance, great service, lovely surroundings, and two excellent chefs! I highly recommend this restaurant if your looking for great food, at a reasonable price!

I went with family to The Lawyer today for brunch. We all pretty much had something different and it was lovely. Brilliant value for money, tasty food and all completely stuffed. Service was friendly and efficient. I look forward to going back for brunch.

If gastropub prices are charged then it should be judged on gastropub standards. Unfortunately, this is no gastropub judging by our just passable, if rather greasy, meals.The service was attentive and professional and the food hygiene inspection report one of the best in Norwich - so I've revised my initial rating from a two to a three.

A super place whether it be for a quick bite at lunchtime, or a leisurely afternoon or a more vibrant evening. Unfortunately for us it was a quick lunch and back to work, so we were very pleased with the friendly and efficient serviced we received. The barman/waiter was very helpful. Food was excellent and served quickly, and the choice was really good too. Also went on a Friday night a couple of weeks back. it was lively but service was efficient and I'd recommend it as a great place to meet with friends.

This is your classical after work watering hole that offers the opportunity for a nice meal. Also great to meet up for a evening drink. The staff are always friendly, well worth a visit

Went here on a Friday evening with a friend visiting Norwich. I had not been before but often passed the pub and thought it looked nice. We had a Spree voucher for BOGOF on mains and so decided to take a chance. We were not disappointed. Although fairly busy, the pub and restaurant are spacious and we were seated and ordered drinks which arrived swiftly. I ordered the steak and my friend the halloumi burger. Both arrived promptly and my steak was exceptional. The hand-cut chips are also very good and portion size is ample without you feeling stuffed. We ordered desserts ( meringue and toffee pudding respectively) both of which were again excellent. Only small issue was added gratuity payment which the waitress said should not have been added and then removed the item. The service had been fantastic so we ended up leaving a bigger tip than this anyway! Will definitely return and would highly advise this place if you are looking for a calm and relaxing evening catching up with friends in the city centre.

Visited with my son after working using a spree voucher.Nice atmosphere and decor with a great selection of music. The Waterboys to Joni Mitchell.A good selection of drinks at typical inner city prices.Service was very good and the bar staff were friendly and talkative.Food was high end pub food.The falafel and Halloumi burger was tasty and came with well cooked chips and red slaw. I had the chicken ballotine which was lovely although the mash was more potatoes with chorizo and goats cheese rather than mashed.For desert we shared the Chocolate assiette. This was nice with fried ice cream and a chocolate mousse. The mouse was a litlle heavy and a bit too sweet for my taste but would satisfy any chocaholic.The only down side to the food was a printing error on the order meant that then veg to accompany the main course did not arrive until after I had devoured the main course.All in all high level pub food at a reasonable price with good sized portions. I will definitely be back to enjoy the nice relaxed atmosphere after work.

Ive been here a few times after work whilst in Norwich with work. Always very good food and drink. Great atmosphere after work :-)

First time in The Lawyer and I will definitely be coming back!Went in for a few drinks and a meal after work.Food lovely, service perfect and great atmosphere.

Went in here by chance and pleased we did. Ales kept well and several nice wines. Some good music being played in background. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Toilets lovely and clean and ladies had a massive seating area! Nice pub.

I come in here quite often with friends for drinks and a few weeks ago we decided to give the food a go aswell! We were not disappointed!! Since it was the weekend we thought we would struggle to get a table for 5 but the waitress was very helpful and sorted us a table very quickly. The food was lovely and the service just topped it all off, very attentive and helpful. Will be coming here again very soon!!

We love The Lawyer from fizz Friday to a great Sunday roast. You will always be welcomed with a warm smile and hello from the exceptional bar staff.Popped in last friday for a drink and Saturday night for a delicious meal, i had the falafel and halloumi burger and my husband had the seabass, never fails to impress, plus fantastic table service all evening from the lovely young girl with the dark hair. Looking forward to a roast at the weekend already.

I've been here a couple of times for drinks and never had a particularly stand-out experience, however on Saturday we experienced THE worst customer service from the bar tender and then it continued from the manager also! We ordered a round of drinks, the bar tender forgot a drink which wasn't a problem, asked for the drink again to which she miserably said that I didn't order one, naturally I corrected her and said I did, to which she replied that I didn't...huffed and puffed about it and spoke very short with me and walked off to make the drink, I followed her down the bar as I wasn't happy with her manner but she just continued to give awful service, the manager came over, didn't apologise but justified the staffs behaviour and I didn't even get the drink until I asked yet again at the end. Being a manager in retail...this is not what I call customer service!

First round ordered after a lovely meal at the last wine bar. Ordered a few drinks to be fair first round. Drinks all came out no problem, accept one. My friend who ordered them said excuse me, were missing one (politely enough) girl then said "I didn't charge you for it and you didn't ask for it" then walked away. Being a ex bar manager, lots of ways this confrontation could of been prevented. I'm sorry let me get that for you? What was it? Get drink and we pay for it and end of it? But this seemed such a difficulty. Then when we challenged it. My friends fiancé was accused of lying. Why? We didn't want it for free! Just wanted a drink. Then when we got "admittedly" very irate with her just saying that and walking away. Situation had now fuelled to uncomfortable position. "Bar manager" or "supervisor" took no control. She did come over and pretty much just backed her bar staff (I understand always support your staff, explain privately with her you "know" the truth, but customers mostly right) Even if you're bar staff was right. Simple humour for us, sorry let me get that for you and apologise on behalf of my staff. But please we will leave it here now. Here you are (even maybe offer said drink free, not compulsory of course but it's just the level of skill you have in management) clearly small amount. A Shame was a lovely birthday night after a meal to then get that? What even was that?!Disgusting behaviour, hire young girls I'm all for it. Get them jobs and work and learn in the working customer service world. But if you can't work with people. Then Don't!

We visited The Lawyer for a Sunday lunch with friends while visiting Norwich.We made very welcome and shown to a good table. Service was very prompt with drinks brought swiftly. We had a in of Sunday roasts and fish and chips.Adnams Ghost Ship and Adnams sourced wines available both of which were Southwold standard.The slow cooked belly pork was superb with perfect crackling, fall apart meat and was very tasty.Overall we were impressed by this town centre pub. Would return.

Came on Saturday night and the restaurant was very busy!! Although we were told there would be a wait on food we were happy to wait as friends had recommend we came here. we also had our drinks bought to us while we waited which was a bonus. The food didn't take long at all for how busy they were and everything was very nice when it came out! We all had starters and mains but were much too full for dessert. Will be coming back but maybe book a table first! Waitress was lovely and very polite considering she was rushed off her feet!!

My friend and myself had completely different plans for the evening than "pub food " but ended at The Lawyer ! We visited on Wednesday evening just after nine and fantastic and friendly waiter brought the good news that we still comfortably can order food, no rush ! Smiley and actually " happy" to see the customers staff from the beginning till the end !!! Our food : Red onion marmalade with my chicken liver parfait was the best I have ever tasted and Sea bass and its sauce just perfect !! We will be back very soon!!!

Popped in after a day's shopping just for a drink whilst we decided where/what we wanted to eat, had a Lagunitas (best beer ever) and glanced at the menu - all sounded very tasty, wife had mussels and said they were the best she's ever eaten, I had chorizo hash, again very tasty. The Chicken stuffed with black pudding and the falafel and halloumi burger for mains were also really tasty. My now favourite food pub in Norwich, will be going back.

The Lawyer is a great place to enjoy a meal and a cocktail in a stylish environment. Staff are very friendly and eager to please. The bar comes alive on Friday and Saturday nights, so be sure to check out their cocktail offers. The atmosphere is generally quite peaceful on a Sunday, making it a lovely place to enjoy a Sunday Roast. Definitely worth a visit!

Visited four times during our stay and three of those were excellent: the chairs at the back were comfy and were just like home (in my dreams): leather chairs and panelled rooms. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the beer and wine was good.Will definitely be back BUT...please stop people smoking in the doorway! The first night involved running the gauntlet and I very nearly got burnt by the 'fag' pointing away from themselves. We got to the back of the pub and it still stank of cigarette smoke because of the inwards draught. We told the female behind the bar and she was obviously a smoker. The other three visits presented no problem at all.My wife says lovely ladies toilet!

we visited on a Friday night and it was quite busy on drinkers. We took advantage of the fizz Friday promotion (a bottle of Prosecco and choc dipped strawberries) but were disappointed that it was one strawberry person no matter how many people ordered the bottle. We had to seat ourselves as there seemed to be no waitress. Eventually the poor girl who was also having to do the bar came over and seemed out of breath from all the running around. She was lovely and polite and took our food order. The starters came in good time and were delicious. The chorizo hash was mouth watering and the salmon bruschetta amazing! It took a while for our plates to be cleared. There only seemed to be three members of staff downstairs who all cared about the bar area more than us. Eventually our table was cleared and we received our mains which were also delicious. Duck was cooked to perfection :) It was amazing food and there was no room for dessert (but im already planning on coming back for it!) the only thing that needs sorting is the service. We had no check backs and a lot of waiting around. I wouldn't hesitate to give the extra star but its just lacking in service through no fault of our lovely waitress who was still polite even though she seemed very rushed bless her. I will be back again next month and would to review again adding the extra star if these issues are resolved.

I visited this place recently and after drinking beer I have never been sick ever in my life. Food was awful. Place needs to shut down

Came here expecting thai food but stayed anyway! Food is really good and filling. Was too full for a dessert but managed to fit one in and i'm glad I did as it was delicious! Staff are all lovely and really care about making sure you have everything you want and a good experience. Would recommend 100%.

We had a dreadful meal at this pub. The fish was inedible and vegetables tasted like they were two days old.

I was very disappointed in the food-I had tomato relish in my burger but it made the bun very soggy, however the burger it self was ok. The top of the lemon meringue for dessert was lovely but the base left a very horrid taste in your mouth, would suggest you give this one a miss! Whilst up stairs there was a very over powering smell of hot cooking oil..

I’m an infrequent drinker here and have also enjoyed the Thai food in the past so was tempted to try the new look restaurant. We went along for breakfast and were surprised to find the restaurant fairly empty. Once we’d tasted the food we were even more surprised as my eggs benedict and my wife’s breakfast ciabatta were both delicious. The service was also good, as were the breakfast cocktails.We will hopefully make it back for breakfast again and are already planning an evening meal here.

Had lunch here today - lovely surroundings more like a restaurant than a pub. The starters were delicious and my husband and two cousins had the rare roast beef which was done to perfection. I have a limited diet and the chef was so helpfull with my requests. Our waiter Joe was very friendly and efficient so a special thank you to him. Top marks!

Had a great night here while visiting some friends. Service was amazing with the staff very knowledgeable of the menu and answered any questions we had. The potato and Chorizo hash starter was full of flavour and my chicken, black pudding and pancetta ballotine main was cooked beautifully. Will definitely be visiting again whenever I am back in Norwich!

Very good. Nice service of two ladies behind the bar. Very friendly. Food delicious and plentiful. Mid range price. Worth every penny

Good Food, Good Service. Just had an amazing evening which made my Norwich family reunion visit. Will be back

We very recently had a most amazing meal at The Lawyer. Everything was just perfect. We had starters, mains and puddings. The food was of the highest quality, tasty and very well presented. We couldn't have asked for anything more. A great night.

Mussels in a creamy white wine sauce was delish! With home made bread was good good good. Defo worth a visit will be back very soon

Brilliant food and excellent service. Lunch time menu and evening menu are superb. Kitchen staff are very accommodating to your needs, and bar staff are more than happy to help. Specials rotate regularly so there's always something different. I would 100% recommend going here for a meal (also does a lovely Chilean bottle of white!)

Came with 6 friends. Very friendly staff. Let us order from lunch or evening menu. Very good wine and food choice. Look forward to coming again.

My wife is a very picky eater but due to the the care of the lady in the kitchen it was problem solved! Just a note to future eaters here the ballottine is tender and delicious. Must try

Came with a few friends and couldn't fault our time. Lovely Lucy was our waitress and couldn't help more if she tried. The food was delicious, mouth watering thinking about it now! My friend had a burger which was bigger than her! I had the sea bass which was cooked to perfection. The lawyer/Munro's at the lawyer is a must for food! The drinks are a bit pricey but the food makes up for it

Found ourselves here after The Glasshouse [separate review] and Ali Tandoori [separate review] on Coach Daughter's 21st with a crowd of drunken friends! Was a good Friday night but wine list could be better. Not one for the <30's but good for the 40+, situated in a busy part of the City which can be quite 'lively'! Not far from the Ribs of Beef [separate review]

Tried The Lawyer as our other choice of pub didn't sell food and what a revelation!. Ciabatta and proper chips could hardly eat it there was that much. Lovely staff and very comfortable arm chairs in which to sink. Nice relaxing environment wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

I have been here a few times now. The last time was a few weeks ago. I took my family there for Sunday roast. As the title of the post suggests...it was amazing. Well worth a visit. I am looking forward to exploring the breakfast/brunch menu in the near future.

Had a really lovely meal the lawyer on 8 June 2015. Excellent quality food and a great atmosphere and caters for all food tastes with a great menu and sevice. Have recommended to all my friends and my favourite restaurant in Norwich for a special occasion!!

Went here for a pre show meal. Good service and decent choice of dishes on the menu. The food was great and we all enjoyed it. Waitress was quick and polite. When we mentioned the show she assured us she would make sure the food was ready in time, and it was. Nice bottle of red too. Not expensive either. Recommended and would visit again if in Norwich.

I have visited The Lawyer for food a number of times. The food has always been superb! There are a number of brilliant dishes but my favourite is the chicken ballotine. This must be tried! I look forward to visiting again.Food amazing. Staff lovely. Great atmosphere.

Popped in here for dinner with a friend for dinner, I had to mussels to start and the pork belly with chorizo to follow. It was delicious! Lovely food and lovely staff too.

I visited "The Lawyer" on 03/06/15. We visited hoping for good Thai food, but the kitchen had changed and was now serving british food such as fish and chips, steak and chips, burger and chips. I ate burger and chips. The chips were fantastic perfectly cooked and crisp . The burger was very well season with a great bread bap. The wine list was good, we had a delicious Malbac. Service was also really very good.

The Lawyer è un pub che si trova non molto lontano dalla Cattedrale e dove è possibile consumare un pasto accettabile, innaffiato da una discreta birra.La location è carina, il personale è abbastanza gentile e disponibile e le porzioni abbondanti. Il costo è contenuto.

Really tasty food and they opened the kitchen half an hour early for us so we could make our conference. Great service and good price. The Gnocchi is fab!

Good lunch time menu, plenty to choose from, tasty food and good service. Will definitely be returning to taste the cocktail menu.

Best meal out for a long long time.......Chicken and Black Puddding fabulous, very moist with a delicious sauce. Bailey's Brulee to die for.....just wish l lived nearer to go more often. Highly recomended

Had a really lovely meal here on 30 April 2015. Excellent food and service, the mussels wear the best we've ever had. 100% recommend this place, I will be coming back!

Good value, really tender delicious sirloin steak. Very good all round. Delightful service from the young lady from Estonia (sorry forgot to get your name). A great change from the Thai menu. Good job.

Went here for a meal with friends to celebrate my birthday, couldn't of asked for a better evening.! Lovely food and a great atmosphere! Cant wait to go back! Xx

Simply Superdelicious, very very clean, generous portions, very quick service, and I just love being there ! Amazing homemade burger and superchunky chips, strongly recommend the ice cream. HOMEMADE AND CLEAN- so important for me. Feels like a glamorous restaurant even though it is a pub. review from a Greek

Had a fab meal today with a large group of friends. The restaurant accommodated us very well. The atmosphere was great.. The roast dinners were amazing! Really good value and quality. I'm looking forward to our return and the slow roast pork belly again!!

Liked the feel of this place from my first visit so decided to book it for my birthday celebrations. I hired the back area called ' the snug' and it perfect. Lovely food and especially appreciated the staff being so patient and not kicking us out as it got to closing time. Love it here. Will definitely be back!

I went here this evening following hearing about the new menu and new head chef. I am currently so so so full!! The food was very nice and the waiting staff were great! Definitely worth a visit!

Having been told that the Lawyer is one of the best dining experiences in Norwich, decided to go and see what the talk was all about.I really don't like writing negative reviews, but in this instance and after a lot of thought, I feel that others should know.The positive: the wine list is quite good. But its not great and I wonder if the person actually creating the list had actually tasted the wines. That said, its not cheap either.On to the food.Decided to go for the 2 course lunch special. We all did.One word: disappointing.The quantity of food was what you would expect as an entre. The spring rolls could best be described as "cocktail" spring rolls. Tasty? Yes, but not large enough to actually get much of a flavour.The main course (part of this 2 course lunch special) was served on the same plate, a segmented dinner plate with rice in one segment, the spring rolls in another and the main in the remaining segment. This will give you an idea of the sizing.None of us felt satisfied nor that it was at all value.Really, it was disappointing particularly after all the good things I had heard.

manageress is rude and doesn't take questions of short measures kindly. A bit of a throwback to another era. Customer service is unknown to her. Hers is the only way.

Just called in for a drink. Was fizz Friday do prosecco and chocolate covered strawberries , well actually one strawberry . Think they are better than they are. Short measured pint of lager even though it said one pint to line was 1/2 inch below line. Seems pathetic but manageress to far up herself to notice. This isn't London!!!!! But charge London prices for lager £4.10 a pint or nearly a pint.!!!!

Booked a table for valentines night, when we arrived it had a very strange vibe to it. The bar was filled with what seemed half asleep alone men and to the left there were tables put together on the other side. It was asif it was a make do meal night. I asked what the vegetarian option was which I was advised mixed vegetables in OYSTER sauce. I smiled and explained it cannot be vegetarian if it is in a FISH sauce which he looked puzzled at. I explained vegetarians do not eat meat or fish. Pescetarians eat fish but no meat. Vegetarians eat neither therefore I would not want a non vegetarian meal. He looked awkward which is when I asked what vegetarian dish can he actually offer. He went off to ask and after 10 minutes of waiting I left. It doesn't take a genius to work out a veggie dish is not a fish dish. To leave someone waiting this long for an answer makes you feel completely stupid and uncatered for.

We visited on a busy Friday evening and found the service quick and the beer was good. My main gripe was that with the majority of tables reserved for diners, there wasn't much room for those of us who just wanted a drink.

Overrated. Seven of us ate here on a Friday night. It was very busy and it's a strange set up to have a Thai restaurant with the kind of bar that's there. Anyway, we sat down and waited for a while to be acknowledged. We only had two menu's between all of us which made a poor start - Maybe more staff for busy evenings to make sure guests feel catered for. We ordered a variety of items on the menu but I decided to have a prawn thai red curry with coconut rice. We were having a nice catch up so we weren't fussed about the wait for food. When mine arrived, they said plain rice and red curry which is not what I ordered. After the waitresses spoke about the rice to each other away from us, they gave me the same rice dish they brought out without going back to the kitchen telling me it was in fact coconut rice - I wasn't convinced.My red curry was disappointing - I was expecting it to have more of a kick but it was very mild and a little bland. The other diners who also had red curry felt the same. The rest of the diners enjoyed their food but after having a taste myself, it really doesn't compare with when I've been to thai on the river, or baan phraya (both in Norwich, nearby). I was the driver of the evening so I didn't have a drink. Apparently there's a cocktail offer before 8pm. The other diners ordered various cocktails and mentioned to the waitress that it was still before 8pm meaning they should get the discounted price. When we had finished and asked for the bill, it was more than what we were expecting. They hadn't taken the price of the cocktails off but as we were a big group, we just split it and left (the girls with us were less inclined to question it). Also, my Thai red prawn curry was near enough £12 and nearly £4 for the, what I was told, "coconut" rice - that's extortionate considering how average it was. The set menu options at Thai on the river and baan phraya are around £18 ish each and you get far better food and 3-4 courses with plenty of options. Disappointed overall. I get the impression it's more of a "fancy" place to meet up or tell people you've been to rather than quality bar and dining - Though there's finer places in Norwich to visit.

On our way home from the cinema, my partner and I stopped for the curry & pint deal that the Lawyer have on a Wednesday night. I have had a drink in the Lawyer many times before but I only tried their food once, a few years ago. I was very pleasantly surprised with my red Thai curry. It arrived quickly, it looked good and most importantly, it was delicious. Hot and spicy, just the way I like it, and full of flavour. I would be very happy to try out other Thai dishes here in the future.

Been here a number of times now, usually with a couple of friends. Good city centre location, combining a nice bar with great Thai food. The 'bags of gold' starters are particularly good, coupled with pad Thai and sweet & sour chicken for main - highly recommend. Reasonable prices, made even better by the fact they do corporate discount for Aviva staff if you work there.
