Love this place. The food is beautiful, the wine is amazing, it’s cosy, intimate and generally a lovely place to enjoy at any time of the day. The service was great and the staff are lovely! Definitely recommend

Good idea if you with a group but not as a date night / romantic evening. Service is good can be quite a loud place to be in.

Excellent platter( wallow board)a good variety of meats, cheeses, side dishes with crackers. Tables are rustic but for those of us with longer legs they are a little uncomfortable. Staff were all great, friendly and knowledgeable.

A very good experience. First time here but "we'll be back". Not too sure about the tables with bench seats but we did get a change so all good. The food was very good and the selection of wine very large. Could do with better beer/ale options for non wine drinkers and an alcohol free range for drivers. But an excellent evening.

Arrived at 08:20 for drinks as it looked like a lovely place and we have heard great reviews but the moment we walked in and said we were there for a drink the woman behind the till just very bluntly said “we are full”. No indication of when they would have a space or time and then completely blanked us. Customer service definitely needs some work because after that unfortunately we won’t be returning, not if you are going to treat potential customers as disposable especially as front of house staff. No indication of a time that there might be an opening, no apology, no customer service. If you want to project yourself as a high end place then have staff that can project that. Staff are the first impression and that was a bad one.

From start to finish this place is fantastic. Friendly staff and a relaxed atmosphere, plus what's not to love about wine on tap! The perfect place for a get together with friends or a meal with your other half 😋

Not a big wine connoisseur myself but headed down to this vino vendor to drown my sorrows after a particularly perturbing horoscope. I had the delight of interacting with some futuristic 'wine cow' that you must milk in order to extract the stuff. This was so surreal and quaint to interact with that I wasn't bothered that there was nowhere to rest my elbow patches whilst milking. All in all the experience transformed my unmoored and turbulent mood (thanks to that downright ominous horoscope I mentioned earlier) into a whimsical, laissez fair one. I'm not usually one to drink in order to handle my emotions but now I'm tempted to form something of a habit out of it...

Amazing food, atmosphere, service, and, of course, wines. Only thing I can fault is the bread, there was a few kinds that all tasted the same and didn’t seem fresh- don’t know why you wouldn’t use one of the many lovely bakeries in the area.

Perfect lunch with my mum and daughter we had the sharing platter and a glass of wine. The waiter was very helpful and gave my mum some tasters as she was unsure what wine to choose. We will return. Terrific 😊

Amazing venue, great ambience. A wonderful place for groups of friends or couples. Wonderful if you’re with a big group with different levels of spending, as you have a card that you top up with credit for your individual drinks. Vending machines of wines and Prosecco, great write ups on each wine. Perfect place for someone who likes their wine or is starting out and wants to try lots of different wines. Great platters with cured meats, cheeses etc. Cannot recommend more highly.

Love love love it! Went in the first time this week, I’d never heard of it but it came up on Google maps as a bar near the restaurant me and my partner were eating at. From the moment we entered the staff were lovely. The bar is comfortable but stylishly decorated with two floors of seating. Ofc the interesting concept of the restaurant is the self service aspect where you can add money onto a card and fill up your own glasses from a selection of wine in their machines. But if you’re not ready off that kind of commitment (which we weren’t) they have a wonderful selection of wines from the bar which are reasonably priced. They also offer food which we didn’t try but a nice touch.

Lovely atmosphere. Great idea to use money cards and serve yourself, avoiding having to queue for drinks. It was fun to experiment with the wines as you can have tasters! The food was fabulous and very reasonably priced. The Wallow grazing board was great to share between friends whilst drinking and chatting. Very informal, relaxed. Friendly, polite staff. Keep doing exactly what you're doing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Had such an amazing time at The Wallow for my birthday tonight! My partner and I were greeted by Kyla on the door who talked us through the dining process and asked our wine preferences, before proceeding to provide recommendations based on what we’d given and offering her own favourites for us to consider which was lovely! Nadine served us and was absolutely brilliant, made sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves for every step of our dinner and had some lovely friendly chat with myself and my partner, and took some great pictures to commemorate the night as well! Got given a free glass of champagne to top it all off! Amazing venue with brilliant staff and a gorgeous selection of food and wines, 10/10 will be back again! 💃🏼

We stopped and chilled here on a wet afternoon. Rather than have the multiple wine option we had the one bottle. We really enjoyed the experience and, probably next time will go for the multiple wine option. We didn’t eat, but we saw the food served to the people on the next table, and it looked delicious, they didn’t leave a crumb!! Definitely worth a visit, it’s a lovely place to sit, relax, chat and chill.

What can I say. My husband and I hired out the Wallow on 25/10/23 for our wedding reception and we were blown away. The Wallow has been one of our favourite places for years so was a logical choice, but the evening was so perfect. They gave us free reign with decorations, music etc which allowed us to create a night that was perfect for us. Our guests had the best time and no doubt they will have several new regulars!! A huge thanks to Laz for organising the event with me and to Iona for the running the evening. You are all amazing.

We ordered the deluxe cheese board for two of us along with two sides. It was enough food despite having an early lunch and does come with crackers. The wine card and tasting is a fantastic idea. Staff were friendly, polite and knowledgeable. We were mostly taken care of by Laura who I could not fault at all and is everything you would want in the service industry when you go out. The Hungarian dessert wine was incredible. Highly recommend!

Went with my friend and we had never been before, as soon as you walk in the decor and details hit you with WOW. Laura was our server and was so helpful. She showed us how to use the card for the wine and gave us tips on what to try. She clearly knows her stuff. It seemed to run smoothly as there were 3 floors, 3 sections for servers to attend so people wouldn't be forgotten. We were always checked on, and when we got out Wallow board with extra bits...we had the best time. The food was amazing. The smoked salmon was the best I'd ever had,the mushroom paté was creamy and flavourful. The only thing I'd say was the salad wasn't needed 😅 cheese, wine and meat, and I'm set.

I was really shocked that the money you put on your wine card is ‘forfeited’ (taken would be a more appropriate word) after 1 year. The staff were able to tell me exactly how much I had left on my expired card, but refused to transfer it to a new card. This seems like an unethical and short-sighted business practice - what a deterrent to returning customers just to make a quick quid!

THE best bar in Norwich! A huge selection of wines to try at your leisure, lovely staff, comfy seating over 3 floors, incredible food and reasonable prices 👍 We loaded our card up with £20 and tried at least 9 different types of wine, then bought 2 bottles to take away because they were SO GOOD. The Wallow board for 2 was HUGE and so well put together. It was also my partner’s birthday and he was given a complimentary glass of champagne! Cannot recommend The Wallow enough 👏

A unique idea for a self service wine bar. Lovely warm and welcoming atmosphere and super friendly, helpful staff. To get wine, you are given a card when you arrive which you top up with money (note this is non-refundable but the card stays valid for a year). You go up to the machine, place card in slot at top, grab a glass to place under the spout and then press and hold your selection until it fills your glass. The food was incredible too and great value as you get so much for your money. A great place to go and I will definitely be back

I enjoyed my visit. Nearest parking is probably St. Andrews car park. There are a few tables outside for when the weather is right. Inside you are greeted with three floors of casual drinking space. Be warned it can get noisy and crowded so time it well. Also it's much quieter in the basement usually. There are a number of automated wine dispensers and a good selection of whites and reds. You can order to the table.or you can preload a 'wallow card' with non-refundable credit and then go and dispense for yourself with the card. This usually works well. They have a small selection of foods and I'm impressed with the cheese boards and the baked camembert. Give it a try - it's a nice lunch hideaway or after work recovery bar.
