The Whiffler in Norwich

Dirty disgusting full off drunks drink driveing.loud rough lot.dirty toilets.spoilt my night with my freind 82 yr old with cap.nipping my butt

Went in to this pub today. First of all the kids menu is all gluten. No choice whatsoever secondly asked the rude bar staff if I could have a mixed grill and have my rump medium. The guy behind the bar then told me I will have to have it how it comes because of the way its cooked. Lol I wounder how they cook there steaks. I then asked politely if I could bring a mac ds in to the pub for my 2 year old if me and my sister still ordered the mixed grilles with a rump that comes out at the crooks choice not yours lol. They said no. And then starting whispering and snickering about me questioning there method of cooking steak. Stay clear of this pig sty

Not impressed sameold.walk in all day drinkers.tables dirty.short staff.toilets mel.service at bar.grumpy.gone down hill fast

Used to be able to accept standard of Food , with prices almost doubled on some most items - Not so much anymore - was much much quieter than normal Which explains why it was so empty compared to usual Won’t be back 😞

Always a please to come in and be served by Ismael great to have some banter Prices and drinks are what you expect of a spoons and being local handy to pop in.

Gone down hill.over a year now.no control over drinkers loud .aloud to stand around.shouting and swearing .when kids are around.think they own pub.inside and out.not family freindly

Twice now this has happened in this pub.old boy fell down steps .never even called ambulance.31st jan.after a mix day off drinking real ales .he fell in the toilets.he 81 yrs old.just no 999 got him a taxi drunk.is there going ne a 3rd drunken fall 10 pints is not on

Disgusting still same old .toilets dirty.tables not clean.food on floor.ques.for people.but the day drinkers get top priorty.theycshould have a room on there own.surpose to be family pub..not with them there plus drink drivers there go say no more

Tea tea was cold.que was big.tables not cleared.day time drinkers.loud .whole place gone down hill.not good for kids.with drinkers balling.toilets digrase.stink.tables outside seagulls eating left overs disgusting

Went for a drink which was a very good price but there was a big lack of staff meaning you had to queue up,I wasn't impressed by the cleanliness and the gents toilets were discusting with 2 urinals taped off as not working and a very strong smell of pee so with lack of staff no one was checking,weatherspoons is going downhill yes the beer is cheap but the hygiene non existent and that's supposed to be one of the better ones,perhaps environmental health need to stop sitting on there annals and start checking places in norwich

Nice place nice food.nice staff.plenty parking.nice company.so freindly..Nice place for a meet up over coffee

Seems to have lost its appeal,always was a friendly local,perhaps needs a better manager,all for people having a good time ,but there were quite a lot of children in,and they don’t need to see and hear bad language

I was a bit disappointed with the response to last review for here as the manager responded that I’d not been here on that day and that I hadn’t eaten here… unable to edit my review I posted my receipt and picture of my meal and reminded them that the date of the review isn’t the actual date of visit as TripAdvisor ask the “month” of your visit, which I had put correctly. Nevertheless, I have been back, I’ve had a fry up last week, which was disappointing for a Wetherspoons as they usually do excellent fry ups. It was fine and decent value, just not up to the standard of the Queen of ICENI in the city. I had a quorn Katsu curry yesterday as part of their curry day and thought it tasted fine but was a very small portion. One thing it doesn’t let you down on is the quality of ales, always good and new guest ales every week.

Ok the food isn’t usually great and they have been known to give me out of date tonic, but I have to give credit where it’s due, I ordered the managers special masala curry for £3.99 and it was lovely and came with two naan, 2 popadoms and chutney and rice, it was delicious. I’ve also been working my way through their ales daily over last couple of weeks using my CAMRA discount and I’ve found some lovely Real Ales.

This is my local and often come here with the missus for a cheap meal and a few drinks. This morning, I witnessed one of the workers, a large oldish gentleman dressed in black, whose actions have totally grossed me out. He had a cloth which he used to clean tables, around the bottle bin, pretty much everywhere when he was clearing up plates etc. Then when new cleaned cutlery came out, he dried them with the same cloth while sorting into piles. Ewww ewww ew

Good visit, grabbed a couple of brew dogs and a panini with an ex colleague. Busy, not as cheap as it used to be. Food was ok, the IPA was great.

Works visit with colleagues, we firstly noticed that the prices have all increased. I opted for Quorn wrap and chips, I had very few chips, but I love that they have BREWDOG Punk IPA.

Myself and my family was out to celebrate an occasion we are also regulars here. We was all having a really good night and your manager Emily decided to say she’s not serving us no more when all of us had done nothing wrong yes we was all having a laugh and a little merry but that was it. I approached the bar to which she said I’m not serving you lot anymore I said why to which she said I don’t have to have a reason. I said well you do as we’ve done nothing wrong we ain’t drunk or causing trouble. She is a poor member of staff and is always very moody towards staff and customer's. Unfortunately for the pub she has let it down massively which is a great shame as the other staff are brilliant.

I’m not normally one for a complaint but on this accession.. a regular visit to the whiffler while sitting at our table having a few drinks with no problem sitting chatting!!! Went to the bar to get another drink and was told im not being served anymore??? Why I asked and for no reason just got asked to leave by Emily apparently a new manager 🤣🤣 clearly with no customer experience!! Thanks Emily

We are regular at this pub came for breakfast this morning my breakfast came out and due to allergies I had to change a lot but I can’t fault the young lady that bought my breakfast out Charlie the blonde one then noticed there was a mushroom which I am highly allergic to noticed straight away she took the breakfast back got it changed to a fresh one Thank you

I got excited by the sight of the sun and headed to the nearest beer garden to my work. I ordered a curry and beer as part of deal and a burger and coke (except I’d selected tonic accidentally on the app) after we’d finished eating our drinks came out. The waitress wasn’t going to take pity and swap the tonic for a coke until I noticed it went out of date February 2022! (We are in May) she then offered to give my colleague a coke.

My family and I have always enjoyed going here for a good value meal, but never again. The tables weren't very clean, the whole place needs a lot of TLC. Ordering on the app is OK, but whoever is doing the cooking needs to retrain or get some more experience. There is no comparison to other Whethersoons in Norwich, none. We ordered 2 large mixed grills and 2 burgers. I don't think any of the meat elements could have been cremated more, they were hard, charred and just warm- the plates were inconsistent too. Dreadfully disappointing.

So nipped in for a quick breakfast this morning and was pleasantly surprised. The Whiffler was clean and welcoming. The staff were polite. The food was at the table in double quick time and tasted fantastic. Great big plates with hot, crispy toast, not cold...

Good value deli meal. I had the chicken and bacon cheese. Not much filling but the panini was nice and I tried the new Corona Pint was great!

Called in for breakfast. Mugs dumped on the table with no indication on where the coffee machine was. Worst breakfast I’ve had for a long time. Well below the usual Weatherspoons standard. No pride in presentation at all, and portion was very small. Although we...

We visited yesterday just wanting a bite to eat, but it was a hassle, which you don’t need on a Sunday night. First, I asked for a kopperberg strawberry and lime gin& lemonade and was given a cider and lemonade? My fiancé was almost given...

Went there for my Birthday where I had unlimited Tea ana a Sausage Cheese and Egg Muffin for £2.49. The muffin was ok pretty much what was expected for £2.49.

Ordered some food, new Christmas menu out, they refused to give me the food or my drink and then told me they couldn’t give me a refund or my food. Worst Wetherspoons service I have ever had. I’ve been to spoons all around the country,...

Disappointed to see that my last review wasn’t replied to and no apology made for the terrible standard of food (picture was provided) despite seeing the manager has responded to other reviews. I had to meet a colleague here, I must say the steak deal...

A friend took me for lunch today 26th July 2021. Neither of us had been here before. We are so impressed with a large car park, such friendly attentive staff, cleanliness, and great food. We both opted for a jacket potato, one with cheese and...

I visited on Thursday 15 July with 45 minutes to have a coffee and quick bite to eat. Brooklyn's customer service went above and beyond what I expected - before accepting my order he checked with the kitchen that it could be prepared quickly. He...

Charlie went above and beyond for our needs, he has such good customer service and I will be returning to have drinks and food again. He needs a raise he’s such a lovely guy and helpful

Charlie was a lovely, wonderful service. He went above and beyond to help give us the best possible service. Will definitely be returning. Big up Charlie.

Charlie was amazing! Best customer service in the world💕 he deserves a raise :) from nelly emily and Ashley and Lilly :)

my wife and I decided to pop.in for breakfast and it used to be nice but it wasn't today ,food was lukewarm ,looked messy ,coffee was warm from machine ,when we arrived we did the track and trace etc ,sat down and waited to be...

Staff were very slow serving drinks tables were dirty toilets were disgusting wall was mouldy gone downhill

Me and my husband rarely go to a Wetherspoons, however I really enjoyed this visit. The food was surprisingly tasty for the cheap price, I especially liked the “Signature Sirloin”. We sat outside due to good weather, and our server Jordan was very friendly and...

Was just here with two friends, guy that works here is an absolute jobs worth and told us to get out if we were gonna ‘take the michael’ of him? He is obviously very self conscious as we didn’t even notice him up to this...

Worse service i ever came across, i went whiffler today as my daughter wanted to treat me to a fathers day breakfast. We ordered our food and drink at 10.00am and wait till 10.30 and still no breakfast so i went ask the staff at...

Come here every weekend, the manager Tanya is always brilliant and very welcoming as well as Brooklyn and all of the other employees.

brilliant service, staff are so lovely and friendly, i’m a regular costumer and i love attending here every week! Tanya and Brooklyn are stunning people ! definitely recommend !

Not the best. Dirty tables, people walking round without masks on. No hand gel in the dispenser. Staff were friendly and polite and food was ok

Perfect cheap Friday night out, good selection of drinks and food. Special thanks to Jane and Diane for amazing service and always making me laugh.

I ordered the Friday special, fish and chips, the fish came out in two bits, inside was so tough I had to spit it back into a tissue, the I was bending the fish back abs forth to show the waiter how tough it was...

After years of breakfasts at the Whiffler, we've become increasingly frustrated with the service over the last few weeks. Completely empathise with the current regulations and many of the staff have adjusted well. However, my little boy for years has eaten 2 portions of maple...

This place has become our regular breakfast haunt but seems that since COVID the standards have declined. No obvious disabled spaces but we were lucky a space became available reasonably close to the entrance just as we arrived. We ordered and paid via the app....

Diane gave us the best service, and was so kind ❤ love her xxx she deserves a promotion, always receive kind service from her x

the management is fantastic and very friendly, the employee micheal was very friendly and funny, this pub is the place to be

We decided as the press announced that restaurants and pubs were supposed to close friday, to have a quick meal out. The staff were amazing, they were told whilst we were there they had to close. Every member of staff there remained upbeat and chatted...

Ten of us went out for a birthday celebration could not believe how busy it was (steak night) served really quickly meal was really good excellent value for money would definitely recommend 👍would like to try curry night and the fish and chip night if...

Good food and fantastic service from a lad called Brooklyn. He went out of his way to ensure our visit was pleasant. There was a delay with my 8 year olds meal and he really cared, and ensured our visit was still a great experience....

Arrived Sunday lunch time. Busy, but we were able to get a table for four. Ordered using the phone app - really easy to use. Drinks arrived shortly followed by our food - exactly what we had ordered. Very tasty and excellent value. If you're looking for quality and value for money, this is definitely a place to frequent. All day Brunch available Sundays.

Had a great meal here, the menu is your usual Weatherspoon's fare, although there was some managers specials. There is a wide choice of drinks. The main thing was that there was plenty of room so it didn't feel claustrophobic as some can.

Visited on Saturday 22nd Feb 2020 just after 8:30 in the morning and ordered 2 large breakfasts and a tea and coffee. The breakfasts arrived fairly promptly and although we were both hungry, having just driven for 2 hours as visiting family, the disappointment was overwhelming. 2 fried eggs on each plate were rock hard, looked as though they had been sitting around for a lengthy period of time and were only lukewarm. Lukewarm was the problem throughout as the bacon, sausages and beans all were only lukewarm at best and probably only because the plates were at least warm. My wife never, ever, complains, well she did today and that sums up how poor these meals were. Yes, they did replace both meals, but by then we had both gone off the idea, but it should not have happened in the first place. You seriously have to question staff in both the kitchen and servers who deliver food that is not up to standard and is visibly so. A table next to us, said to us, yes ours were awful as well but we didn't bother saying anything but will not be returning. I suspect this is not what you want to hear but given the food this morning I can understand the sentiments.

Haven't been to The Whiffler for some time, went with friends for the Thursday curry, have to say we all enjoyed and not forgetting the excellent prices.

A standard Spoonies experience. I’ve always had a soft spot for this one. The food is quick and the staff always attentive. I like the new app to order food. But also feel it’s taking away the chance to interact. And you can’t make special changes to your order.This place is a wee bit rough. The usual suspects line up before opening ready to hit their breakfast beer. But that adds to the charm. Since moving to the US I miss a good Spoonies. Was great to be back.

Okay food standard quick and easy food. Stopped here and took my grandkids to skating. Small kids portions but my bbq burger was nice

Cocina clasifícate! FOH ¡Limpia y deja de chatear!Pedimos comida a las 12. 53 y dijo 15 minutosSalió a la 1. 44Nos dieron una bebida de cortesía después de esperar 30 minutos, pero aún esperamos 15 más.Nuestra queja fue tratada de una manera profesional por la que estoy agradecido y el personal parece ser muy trabajador, excepto que entramos en mesas sucias en todas partes y el personal que hablaba en el bar, le pidió a alguien que limpiara la mesa y me entregaron un paño seco. que tuve que ir y mojarme del agua potable. Golpear y limpiarmeLa comida salió y faltaban artículos y frío / calor, los frijoles estaban calientes, el tocino frío y el budín negro, le mencionamos esto a nuestra camarera y ella se ofreció a calentar y le preguntamos cuánto tiempo, pero nos dijeron que no sabíamos cuánto tiempo la cocina está ocupada. era como olvidarloComo camarero, entiendo que los platos calientes normalmente significan comida caliente, este no era el caso, el plato era comida caliente fría / tibiaComemos todo porque teníamos hambre, simplemente no volveremos porque Wetherspoons nos ha decepcionado mucho, este tiene que ser el peor en el que he comidoNo hay problemas con FOH, aparte de no limpiar y chatear en el barLa cocina se soluciona, no debería tomar más de 45 minutos sacar dos brunches y una hamburguesa que también se quemóEn general, vaya al Bell o la Reina de Iceni en Norwich City, ya que nunca es una mala comida, servicio rápido y mesas limpiasLo siento Whiffler, no volveré

He estado yendo a cucharillas durante años, siempre me encantó hasta hace poco las últimas tres veces ha habido diferentes problemas, pero anoche comimos ensalada fría de pollo sin vida con solo una pieza de salsa de barbacoa de cebolla roja de una pulgada con sabor aguado fue horrible.

Have never used this wetherspoon before and out of all the ones in the city this is by far the worst.Arrived lunchtime had a few empty tables all of which had not been cleaned just removal of plates and glasses.The food when it arrived was luke warm so very dissapointing.The whole place just looked unclean and think the place needs a stronger managment team.On the basis of this visit it will certainly be the last.Come on get the basics right clean the tables and serve food hot

Llamado el viernes por la noche para pescado y papas fritas, el pub estaba lleno pero las mesas estaban limpias y los platos despejados

Arrived at 08:25 and already many people already there. Ordered 2 full breakfasts and 2 mugs for tea/coffee. Total price was £13-10 and this includes unlimited refills. Lovely breakfast served, which in part could have been hotter, but overall we loved them and with 2 slices of toast included. Really enjoyable and very good value. Watched the rugby and had several mug refills during the match. Would visit again for sure when nextin the area.

Nos encantó el aspecto del pub cuando pasábamos, así que decidimos probar el almuerzo. Tan pronto como entramos, estábamos muy contentos, pero cuando comenzamos a mirar los diferentes menús, ¡me horroricé de que los menús en sí parecían sucios, viejos y pegajosos!

We called at this pub today after a morning shopping it was very busy so my husband ordered via the Wetherspoons app we waited some time for our drinks to arrive my husband could see them on the bar so politely asked the barman if they were ours as we could see them there for the last 10 minutes Jordan the barman said they’ve only been there 2 minutes I don’t deliver the drinks my husband replied we’ve sat and watched them standing there Jordan arrogantly replied I’m happy to stand here and argue with you all day !!

I have been many times before and always loved the service and food and selection of drinks.

We visit this restaurant often as it’s close to home, my biggest complaint about this chain is that whenever I order a well done steak I only get a medium or medium rare. I am sorry I’m different than most and I need a steak cremated that’s the way I enjoy a steak. Why oh why can’t they get it right. New staff tonight so not on usual form although I was asked if I wanted a dessert because the steak was un eatable I did decline as all I want is that my steak is cooked to my liking. Please.

Ordered two breakfasts this morning. On both breakfasts the beans were stone cold. The bacon was cold and also my toast came out as bread with no explanation. For a first visit it certainly wasn’t a good impression

Place really is looking tired now and in need of a re-fit.

Call in for lunch. Although very busy, the place was kept very clean.

Really great staff including the “African sunset” coloured hair gentlemen on Friday afternoon and the lovely purple haired barmaid xx

sunny weekend,the pub/restaurant very busy.Staff were amazing,nothing too much trouble,went the extra mile and made everything so nice

Very busy night and staff trying hard but meals let them down. I had 10 0z gammon and was that thin it was more like bacon. My husband had Tennessee burger and was covered in cheese. No mention of cheese on menu and my husband can’t stand it. Nobody came to ask if food ok so had to put it in review.

Had a few problems From the start as they didn’t have 3/4 of our order (including the fish, on fish Friday) but Jordan L more than made up for it. He was super apologetic and went above and beyond to ensure the rest of our visit was enjoyable. ‘Spoons get a bad rep but the service tonight was better than I’ve had in a lot of “classier” establishments.

Went for tea. Had a mixed grill. I was served bye Emily. I had a small issue with the food. Emily sorted the problem in no time she was very helpful. Nothing is to much trouble for her very good worker. Its nice to be served bye someone with a smile who is happy to help everyone.

Need to be re furnished plenty people go there for breakfast though and do have a Monday Club which is very reasonable for drinks

A typical Wetherspoons pub, fairly busy nice atmosphere and the food and drink is decent in flavour & price.

We visited one evening for a meal with our children. As the pub was busy there was a long queue to order food at the bar (which was clearly understaffed). By the time we had ordered we were told that there would be a wait for food - and that if we still decided to order, we would have to make sure our children had 'finished eating and are out of the pub before 9pm'. We also tried to order drinks with our meals and were told that we would not be able to order more than two alcoholic drinks as we were in charge of children!

Popped in on Wednesday night, not too busy. Was 6 of us and we all had Burger meals, with all plates cleared. Good speedy service from the staff, and great value as usual.

Food always tastes cheap, and it is cheap, would like better quality and pay a bit more. My breakfast last week was not good and only had half an egg

Lovely meal. So after decided to sit outside to let my friends dog out of their car so see a member of staff coming towards us to be told that Wetherspoons don’t allow dogs on their premises. Shame!!

Ayer tuve el cremoso risotto de champiñones para el té y no me gustó en absoluto porque tenía un sabor extraño. No recomiendo a nadie que lo tenga ya que era tan malo y no lo reemplazaría con otra cosa o ofrecerme mi dinero de vuelta Aparte de la comida, es un lugar encantador para ir si estás buscando un lugar barato para cenar

Mi amigo (f) y yo (m) estábamos cenando y poniéndonos al día en Whiffler, que es un establecimiento encantador que frecuentamos a menudo.

Went here for breakfast, very disappointing, the plate was so cold and the food was also cold, sent them back and the next meals were cold also, we were there quite early so not many customers, horrible experience! Will not return!

Paré para tomar un brunch aquí y, para ser sincero, fue sorprendentemente bueno: tienen una opción de desayuno saludable. Digo que los cereales sanos están llenos de azúcar. Sin embargo, tuve huevos, muffins, etc. y fue realmente muy agradable. No se cocinan demasiado como algunos de estos lugares.

Hi I visited your restaurant today with my husband your blonde barmaid made it very clear she fancied him I swiftly asked her to stop flirting with him and she smirked at me she's lucky I didn't make a scene many thxs Susan x

Stopped here before attending a funeral as we had never been before. Staff were friendly and food was good. Pub in itself could do with a bit of a revamp though.

One of the blonde female managers that works here is extremely rude and argumentative and caused a scene, resulting in us having to leave to get away from such terrible customer service. Other customers nearby commented on her rudeness. Such a shame considering we are frequent customers at the wetherspoons chain but this is the first and last time I will step foot in this particular poorly-run establishment.

Pop in there for lunch with my husband and my son. Went up the bar to order our drinks and food, my 19 year old son was with me. When I ordered his Strongbow cider, the girl asked my son, is the cider for you, he said yes, she then asked for ID, at the moment he doesn’t have any. I told her he definitely 19, but no she still wouldn’t let him have his cider, so he had to have coke. I was a bit Annoyed about it, because where we been before in the past, he had no problems. The meals came, which was nice but not a lot of it. We came out of there still feeling hungry.

Good place to drop into if passing, had come back from the coast and this place was on the way home. Very busy on a weekend evening, we were given a table for our group with little fuss. The meal deals were very good and fish n chips with a pint was well under a tenner. The children enjoyed their food, service was pretty quick despite being very busy, so all round a good value and easy experience.

This is a weathersplons pub and eatery. They are known generally known as good value but of a basic standard I am reviewing the whiffle right because we called last Saturday lunchtime because we had time to kill before a hospital appointment and needed some nosh. It was also handy on our line of route have spent the morning shopping in the city centre. I chose the wiffler over and above many of the Norwich city centre eaterys because it has its own free car park. And we we didn’t want to spend a lot. The pub and car park was busy but found a car space. And a table ordered for my self burger and chips deal this came with a salad garnish and unlimited free coffee of the style I wanted y wife chose the vegetarian lasagne and salad Ann unlimited cups f tea the food came quickly and was piping hot the salad was fresh. At a price £11.60 it was a bargain.

We were staying across the road from the Whiffler at the Norwich Mercure hotel. So went there for tea one night. It was great and the food was good and wholesome. But the best of all was the selection of gains, some of which I sampled whilst there! The prices too were very affordable. All in all a great experience.

Staff in this pub are lovely, the lady manageress is always pleasent ( think she is the manager) I nearly always use the app to order drink/food. Never had any problems.

the worse food i have ever had. bacon was so cremated it was the size of a fifty pence piece the beans were cold and also the fried eggs nearly looked like scrambled eggs and looked like someone had ate half of them.

Nipped in. No fuss tried one of the real ales for 1.99. Really nice drop... cracking staff nice pub and thank you.

We went in for breakfast, hubby had full English, I had American breakfast, the fried eggs were hard, sausages cold, and the pancakes couldn’t even be cut as they were hard, dry and cold. Bacon burnt to a crisp yet still cold. Waste of money, would of complained but only one girl serving and rushing about, won’t be returning again.

Visited on the evening of January 3rd and was delighted with absolutely everything. The staff were personable, efficient, professional and even assisted my disabled friend when he had an unfortunate incident with a mini cheddar.

Went here for a breakfast with husband I ordered the breakfast wrap husband had a traditional breakfast when they came mine was fine very hot and eatable husband's was cold bacon was all burnt to a crisp egg was hard only thing that was warm was the sausage I told the waitress she gave me a dirty look grabbed plate and said il do another when that came it was perfect how it should be but as I had finished mine I had to sit while husband was eating and he was sitting while I ate.We went out for breakfast as a couple not eat separate.When waitress brought it back she just put it on table didn't say hope this is better sorry or nothing.Dont no if I would go back.

Carpets and tables filthy, if we hadn’t have been desperate to eat we would have left before ordering. Staff seemed as tired as the decor. Food bland and cold at best only thing you could say in it’s favour was it was cheap and fairly quick

is looking very tired now and in need of a refresh. Front of house team were very good. Was busy when arrived at 11:30, seemed to be mainly tradesmen, guess because of the poor weather meaning could not work. Anyway found a table and ordered two big breakfasts within 5 minutes of arriving. Had a 30 minute wait for it, but ok due to it being quite busy. Eggs and hash browns were disappointing, bit cold, rest was piping hot.
