We called into this traditional pub before dinner as my partner wanted to try a local ale. There is a good choice of Adnams ale. There was a small outside area at the back, which was very popular. We enjoyed our visit.

A great Norwich staple of pubs. They serve a great selection of pies and other meals. There's a nice outside courtyard round the back as well as a cosy downstairs which hosts music events. Unique interior design with all the walls by the bar covered with placemats which all have unique drawings on them and stickers.

Only three Adnams ales on unfortunately, which is a shame in such a beautiful pub with a nice busy atmosphere and plenty of people inside. Would be nice to make the most of the pumps and have some guest ales or seasonal brews. Friendly staff and nice decor. Lots of Pieminister pies available (yum!) and a good Diet Coke, too 😄

Dinner came out warm, not hot. My new dish hadn't come out by the time others had finished. And was left waiting why others were full and satisfied. Food is good. But when I have to choose to eat alone or go somewhere else I am disgusted and will not be going again. Refund yes, hungry yes. Unhappy yes. Ruined a good day

The pub has an interesting decor with a large collection of beer mats sporting graffiti presumably left by customers. The wooden furniture is lacking some minimal cushions essential for folks of a certain age. A limited selection (two) of cask Adnams beers at the time of visiting. The food available has a number of individual pies with veggie options included.

The two bar tenders looked like they were chewing wasps as we walked in (as if we disturbed them from do something nore important - talking probably), we asked for some beers and they rolled their eyes as if asking for a couple of pints was too much. We then had some ale trail stamps to collect, which after a huff and more eye rolling got the response "yeah I suppose so". It was very apparent that they'd rather be doing something else then working in a pub - generally just miserable and uninviting. Don't think we'd come back of our own volition.

I haven't rated food as I didn't purchase the pies they sell, however I can confirm they do look good! I visited for the first time Saturday evening (27/04/24) and I'm not from Norwich. Where I live the pubs aren't friendly or have any character, where as this place has everything. The beer mat drawings give it a personal feel which is inviting. The staff were extremely friendly, polite and helpful. Mixture of characters! I paid £4.80 for a vodka and coke and truthfully that's a pretty good price, especially on a weekend and being almost central. I love the ice and slice extras. There were live DJs and all three played different mixes, so there was something to suit everyone. Great for locals! Would 100% recommend a visit to thus place.

I'll start off with the good! The staff at the bar are excellent, really friendly and lovely. And there is a great atmosphere in this pub. My review is about our disappointing meal. The food itself wasn't poor in quality, Pieminster pies are excellent always. We ordered the pie, mash, gravy and peas for £14.50. However when the pie came out I genuinely wondered where the mash was! I remembered eating this meal here before and it being a decent portion so was shocked to find about two sad tablespoons worth under the pie about 2cm deep 🤣 I had ordered with my partner and we were bought out a small pot of peas after our pies arrived. We waited for the other pot only to realise we were presumably meant to share the small portion in one pot between us. Such a shame you've chosen to reduce your portion sizes so much as it doesn't really make a proper meal now, which for £14.50 you'd expect. We should have taken a photo really to share on here as we were all laughing so much about how little mash we were served, especially as it's so ridiculously cheap to make so it doesn't even make sense to be so stingy, so at least we had a joke about it!

One of the best vibes in the city. Good music and even better drinks choices, the friendly and knowledgeable staff are always ready and happy to assist you. They also offer a selection of delicious pies and pizzas to quell your hunger needs. Pies can be served with mash mushy peas and gravy to make it a full meal, or just the pie for a quick snack. There are a variety to choose from and they will leave you full and satisfied. This is a very quirky pub and a must visit whilst you are in Norwich. There is also a small beer garden towards the back of the premises and an extra space downstairs when busy. If you want a good atmosphere, this is the place to go.

Whilst on Holiday in Norfolk, we had heard that Pieminister Pies were being sold at "The Rumsey Wells" in Norwich. So as we really enjoy eating those pies we headed there and it did not disappoint. The pub is not far from the centre of Norwich and we were welcomed on entry and as it was quite quiet we were told to just find a table we wanted to sit at and then order from the bar when we were ready. We ordered three pies and drinks (The pies come with a selection of extras including Mash, Peas, Gravy etc. all the way up to the Mothership which I had!). Once we had ordered and paid we did have to wait a while as the pies are obviously cooked to order, but when they arrived they were very well presented and hot. They tasted delicious and I was very satisfied that they met Pieminister standards! A very happy experience and would eat there again!

Hot balmy evening in Norwich and a lovely little find. Great selection of ales from your Adnams to your speciality brews. The courtyard garden has a great vibe to it, and I can imagine an enjoyable evening with friends can be had. They also do a 'Pie and pint' menu and look tasty. Didn't try it as we were bouncing on. But yes, go, and if you're of an artistic slant... draw on a beer mat, and it will be posted up. Go, drink and enjoy.

Barman mis heard my food order resulting in one pie being incorrect. When given advice of turning the very loud music down a little so they can hear customers he was rude about the matter. I would suggest repeating an order back to a customer to confirm, especially when food is being ordered. On a more positive note my partner enjoyed his pie!

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.
