The Reindeer Pub & Kitchen in Norwich

The best pub in Norfolk, I just wish it was my local! We've seen some brilliant bands and DJs and the Sunday roast is amazing. Definitely worth a visit 😊🎶

The best roast ! Amazing service ..and the loveliest people !

Great pub .Great food.Great atmosphere.Great staff. Great entertainment

Has kept the music scene alive in Norwich. An eclectic mix for every taste in a venue perfect for live music. Great atmosphere whether there’s music or not, a pub that has brought such a wide and varied audience together. A pub on the edge of the city that serves great food with very reasonably priced drinks.

What a pub! Suits all age groups (including us olds!) and due to the amazing Landlady and her impressive staff, everyone is made to feel welcome! And as for the roast dinners …. perfect!

Fantastic pub , fantastic food , fantastic music venue, fantastic staff

Very welcoming and Lou has done a fantastic job

The best music pub in Norwich. Great staff, fantastic food and friendly customers. There's a reason why it's always full of customers.

Awesome Venue, lovely staff, really enjoyed our visit here

The reindeer is a old school local pub,great friendly staff! Great Sunday roast and homemade deserts! Live music! Alway a good atmosphere! LOU IS A GREAT HOSTESS! If you want a real pub the Reindeer is the place for you!

Proper spit and sawdust psychobilly rock and roll pub. Live music and friendly amiable staff. Have beer or a coffee and catch some of the best bubbling up and all round entertaining live bands. Yay for places like the reindeer

I go to The Reindeer quite regularly just because of its great atmosphere. I regularly have Sunday roast dinners here. I have been to many places for a roast dinner, and I can honestly say this is one of the best roast dinners I've ever eaten. Everything tastes amazing.

Would just like to say what a fantastic Sunday roast I had today as part of the Bloodshake chorus party better then any of the carveries in the norwich great yarmouth or lowestoft area i big thankyou to Lou and her team

Always a great atmosphere and a warm welcome.good service and great bar staff and amazing live bands.

Amazing place my fav venue but would have been nicer if I wasn’t lied to by the staff was told that they weren’t serving any more by a guy with a nose ring and long hair despite this I saw multiple people being served at the bar I had my ID ready to show I am in fact legal age and yet was told that they aren’t serving really confused as to why I was denied I know it wasn’t intoxication as the only drink I had was about 2 hours ago at this point? Really sad about this aside from that amazing place so cute and lovely highly recommend

Very nice Sunday roast and always a good night out

Lovely live music in the evenings, friendly bar staff and a great atmosphere.

Wonderful roast and fantastic home.made cheesecake thankyou

Lovely place for a Sunday Roast

Watched Blood Shake, great night, great atmosphere, packed full, totally recommend x didn't eat x

Can't complain about service or atmosphere. I came to watch a band and the sound quality was not great. Many left early as couldn't hear the music. Possibly nothing to do with pub as no sound engineer. The real ale not good. Sturcher Stout and Legacy normally great beers but a little off. Thankfully Tom Cat saved the day.

Great pub, great food, must visit

Great pub and atmosphere great landlady and staff

Couldn't ask for better for Sunday lunch....food excellent, service excellent, thoroughly enjoyable...highly recommended.

Always good vibes here and lovely staff

Went for the Sunday Roast and it was amazing. Great choice of meats and the veggie option was fantastic. Comes with great selection of veg, extra gravy and the biggest batter pudding ever!! Fantastic quality food cooked excellently by a very talented chef is what I’d say. Pub had a lovely atmosphere, staff couldn’t have been more helpful or friendly. Will definitely be going back again.

This has got to be one of the best bars in Norfolk, live music venue in a pub, really well set out, staff were excellent, food was excellent with an atmosphere that was second to none.... well done The Reindeer

Local pub, great beer, service and outstanding live music. Food days are always great too. Pie night deals on a Thursday and roasts on a Sunday. Highly recommend this place. Not been ? Get yourself down there, you won't be disappointed. The staff are great and the Landlady is a legend.

This is how all music venues should be run!! Friendly and helpful staff - a fantastic atmosphere and the most awesome Sunday roasts. If only all music venues could be as welcome and professional! Can't wait to come back! Frankie

Great friendly staff and great music

The pub that does it all! Great food and friendly, professional staff. Also, Lou works very hard booking a variety of great quality live bands - I’ve played there several times and always felt appreciated. Gig nights always have a great atmosphere with people up dancing, whatever the genre, but the place is big enough that you can escape the noise if you want to chat. Totally unique venue in Norwich and must be appreciated.

LOVE IT IN HERE!! Warm,welcoming, great vibes, landlady is a gem. I could sit in here all day. The Sunday roasts are lush and there's always the best live music. See ya soon

Fab little pub, always full of friendly faces and good music. The landlady has a lot of knowledge and experience behind her of what her customers want to see and books bands accordingly. The best and most talented bands are booked to play here and they never fail to disappoint. Always a welcoming environment here by the landlady and her team.

I like the reindeer, it isn't my favourite pub or my local and previously I'd have given the pub a 4 star rating, nothing they do wrong, i just reserve 5 stars for my favourite. However, seeing that they didn't book Will O'Brien I've had to push them to a full five star rating. Hard to fault a pub who'd actively spare me his crooning

Great pub. Friendly staff and superb live music!

Great pub, had many a fun night here. Always a friendly, welcoming place with lovely staff, brilliant bands and a very well stocked bar. There's even a pub dog!

I have lived above The Reindeer for just over two years untill this month, the staff, customer ans the owner has always been nice to me and helped me in anyway possible. Its more like family and I really will miss it, excuse to pop in on Wednesdays for pool night and drinks 😁😁😁

Fantastic place, great atmosphere, staff and awesome live music. Will come back again and again!

Really friendly pub with an amazing selection of tipples and great music.

A very friendly pub with a huge choice of drinks and great food. Great bands covering a vast genre play here and is a friendly and safe venue. 40 mile round trip as not local but well worth it.

This Pub has been a staple of the live music scene in Norwich for some time, presenting the best in grass routes music across the world. The staff are incredible, the drinks fairly priced, and the atmosphere is welcoming. The Pub Dog is the best too. Love this place, can’t recommend highly enough.

One of the best live music venues in Norwich, that together with great food and beer makes it a great experience. Pete.

This is without a doubt my favourite pub I norwich , Lou and her staff are the friendly bunch you could meet , great selection of beers and ales and always changing . Always great bands in there Fri, Sat and Sunday as well as other entertainment other nights such as quiz nights and open mike nights . Sundays roasts are to die for, not to mention the pie and pint night on Thursday and great value too. Highly recommended.

By fat the best pub in Norwich, friendliest staff,best choice of drinks and unbeatable food

Fantastic pub with great food, beers and live music! Always choose good quality bands to play there too rather than just average run of the mill bands…

The Reindeer is a brilliant pub and place to catch bands. From Quiz to Pie night it has tradition nailed. Lou the Landlady is a Norwich legend. You can't have a bad time at the Reindeer.

What a pub, great atmosphere. Food amazing, quality real ales always kept well with some great specialist rums. Lou, the Landlady, is great. Known her for too many years and always runs a great pub. Music is a great part of the pub, with huge gig list every month - check out their Facebook page.

Always a great time at The Reindeer. I've been a customer and a performer here over the years, Lou and her staff are always welcoming. There's always great music on and an amazing atmosphere. If I wasn't in a busy band myself, I'd be at The Reindeer every night if I could!!

The Reindeer is a large music pub in Norwich, and the landlady, Lou, is one of the best in the business. She and her staff are always very welcoming and the customer service you receive from them all is excellent. I've never seen a pub with some many choices of beers, lagers and spirits. There is a good choice of non alcoholic beverages and soft drinks too, so something for everyone. The Sunday Roasts are superb. I personally would not go anywhere else. Lou has a great ear for music and understands her customer base so therefore the pub is always packed when bands are playing. Plenty of room to dance your socks off, to the great bands that she books. Honestly, there is never a dull night. In the summer, there is a beautiful garden to sit out in, and enjoy a few beers with friends and family. A pub I highly recommend for socialising, Sunday dinners and definitely the music and dancing 💃 ❤️

Rude and dishonest management. Stay away. *Edit as management has responded. You we not even sent promo materials when you dismissed with with an obvious lie that you thought you'd get away with because you did not know I was familiar with your venue and had played here previously. When questioned on this you became aggressive and rude so you have earned your review. Respect for artists is not up for debate, and if you are comfortable telling lies to potential business partners then this says a lot about how you run your venue. Dishonestly is not acceptable and any potential partners should be aware of this massive red flag.

Brilliant pub with great friendly bar staff . The food is lovely and the music is very varied to suit many music fans .Punk , country, honky tonk ,soul, blues , mod ,, rockabilly , folk , jazz , swing,Americana All types of rock music etc etc..With a crowd of approx 200 you feel that you're at a much bigger venue and most gigs are free.Good selection of beers , spirits etc.pie n a pint nights and jam sessions are popular too .Lou Wilding works hard to please her punters and listens to them when they suggest a band they would like to see .If you're visiting Norwich , or live here anyway, have a drink or two in the Reindeer.

Fun times always had at the reindeer! Good beer and great roasts 🙂 Awesome selection of bands, staff are super friendly and fun, lou the landlady is lovely!

It is a lively environment. A Great place to eat and/or drink , excellent food, wonderful service and great music.. My kind of place

Best Alt Pub in norwich, Beer selection is fantastic, I have yet to try the food so cannot say either way, but the live music and people that frequent are just amazing. Everyone is so lovely, they have stories to share and all have an appreciation for decent music.

Open Mic evening was superb. Great venue and great staff. An eclectic mix too.

What a lovely pub, warm, friendly staff lovely couldn’t do enough. Great service. Recommend booking busy. Atmosphere buzzing. Well the roast was just awesome, was wholesome def best ever had. Didn’t have to wait long, choice of meats, good selection of veg, whole meal was fresh, hot. Well the Yorkshire was just huge homemade and delicious. Not rushed to use the table again so really relaxed chilled. Think we were there for about 6 hours in all didn’t feel like we wanted to go ☺️. Music in the background really great place whether you go for drinks or for food. Think we will be making a regular visit for definite. Thank you for a great experience😃x

Lovely garden area, good beer's. Open 🎤 🎙 night's. Food looks good.

Friendly relaxed pub with nice staff and good gigs

Sunday Roast was fabulous Lots of meat, food was fresh and hot! Staff are lovely and helpful Seating uncomfortable on benches Toilets and garden need some tlc Lively atmosphere, band was amazing Perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon Really good to see everyone supporting such an excellent pub

Great live music venue, fantastic atmosphere and nice Sunday lunch, will visit again

Always enjoy a pint in the reindeer great ales. Awesome selection. A proper pub. 👍

Nice pub with a lovely big beer garden, beers on tap are nice with plenty of choice. Also have a pool table so a thumbs up from me!

Not a good place to go they don't like people to enjoy themselves

Great atmosphere. Live music is always great. Sunday roast is a must. Staff are always happy and welcoming. Nice vibes in here 👌

I was thrilled to discover this charming Norwich pub, a hidden gem boasting ample space. It's a lovely, typical spot for a delightful experience in the city. The atmosphere, and service is second to none.

Went for a Sunday lunch. Good traditional roast lunch. If I was to make one criticism, the vegetarian option is a bit limiting. However they are prepared to swap items and the cauliflower cheese is good.

An absolutely wonderful night there and great service from the staff!

The manager not very welcoming and absolutely freezing so I left and went home.

Great for quick stop over pint.

Went for a wake. The landlady was lovely and the pub had a really nice atmosphere. The food supplied was very nice too.

Best pub in Norwich. Great atmosphere large selection of beers wine and spirit. Live music dancing fantastic garden and the food is wow

Quality live music, most days of the week, make the Reindeer a Norwich pub we keep coming back to. Celabrated new years there this year and couldn't have wanted a more welcoming and friendly crowd. Looking forward to our first roast of 2020! Update... Three years on the Riegndeer is still my favourite pub in the city, still does a great Sunday Roast and now Pie and a Pint for a tenner on Thursdays. A rare beast, a pub that strikes a good balance of traditional wet pub with music and a good food offer. Lovely stuff :)

Fantastic gig at here. A great Pub

Rude staff, terrible customer service.

Beautiful pub, incredible roast on Sundays!

Roast was amazing. And nice to see a proper massive Yorkshire pudding. Service was great too.. very friendly..

Nice bar, live music. Bar staff and security friendly

Friendly pub, with some live music. Nice

Great pub.Great staff. Excellent bands

Cracking pub brilliant staff with great atmosphere,had a nice couple of pints in here and will definitely be back a proper boozer

Great food, friendly helpful staff, great atmosphere!

A great venue. Live music regularly, not overcrowded, a nice choice of drinks both on the pump & spirits, and what's more it has great bar staff too. I've not tried the food yet, so may well do one day as it looked nice. Looking forward to another visit soon.

Brilliant! Fantastic atmosphere, huge range of drinks. Staff were excellent. Great music venue.

Very friendly staff, great atmosphere, a more than enjoyable evening. Ps clean toilets

What a great pub , so friendly, live music and you can take in your take away and they give you plates, etc! Absolute full on a Friday night, staff are just outstanding- thank you

Went for the first time as one of our favourite bands was playing. Nice pub. Would definitely visit again. Although they didn't have any Malibu, which, for me personally, was very disappointing.

The Sunday lunch roast at the reindeer is 10/10!! Roast meats veggies gravy are all deliciously presented topped with a big Yorkshire pud & a little extra gravy jug if needed! The blondie & brownie puddings are insane we all had spoons perfect finish to a top roasty! The beer garden is very groovy, the Sunday dj spins out some great tunes to set the mode. My lunch was so good too busy tucking in. Than to take a pic but I did manage to get a pudding pic! Staff are all so friendly welcoming & consistent in every way every time we have visit! Enjoy!

Superb live music venue. Experienced staff, friendly and knowledgeable. Guinness pouring skills are superb. Rear garden is open. Barbeque hut in the summer. Room available for hire.

Nice place will have to go back

Lou has turned this place around into a pub you want to go in. And supports live music. Good selection of beers.

Pie and a pint, superb 👌. Well kept ale, choice of pies with mash, mushy peas and gravy. We will be back with Basil our dog 🐕

Wish I could have stayed longer. Was really lovely there

Lovely live music bands. Reasonably priced drinks and we were allowed to bring a takeaway food as the place wasn’t serving food at that day! We had a very good time and the band was great!! There is enough place to dance and jump! Truly magnificent experience!

Lovely roast dinner & the staff were really friendly & accommodating.

Good food, good company, good vibes..love it..

Decided to take the plunge for Pie and a Pint night. We treated our neighbours to an evening out. Absolutely brilliant! Although we had to settle for second choice with two of the pies, how can you go wrong for a tenner each? Answer: you can't. Two beers, wine for the ladies and lovely hot pies (one steak and ale, one moroccan lamb and two haggis), great mashed potato, mushy peas and lashings of gravy. Great service as well. All in a really well looked after pub run by the legend that is Lou Wilding.

Fab traditional pub with great range of beer

Honestly it was an afternoon's drinking session so I was rather inebriated by the time we got there but climbing the few steps to the loo kept me mindful of my limit

Great Sunday lunch with pleasant staff. Beer garden and great atmosphere.

Gorgeous Sunday roast, excellent staff highly recommended
