Weavers Wine Bar & Eating House in South Norfolk

The food was amazing , everything was cooked beautifully and the staff were very attentive and informative . Amazing value for a set 2 or 3 course with just the right size menu to choose from . You know if a menu is too vast it’s not doable for the chef to be all his own work . Thank you everyone . We had a lovely evening

What an absolute gem! Delicious food, fantastic service and great ambience. Lindsey and Jane were perfect hosts. Will be back!

I am not from Diss and and unsure wheee to book for a meal. Booked Weavers and wasn't disappointed. A warm and attentive welcome from the owner as soon and we walked through the door followed by an amazing meal. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back.

Fabulous restaurant. Got to be the best restaurant in Diss. Lindsey our host was friendly and welcoming. The menu was interesting and food didn't disapoint. The aspagerus with ham hock and poached egg was superb. The Hake main course was excellent.Wish i had taken photos to add to this review. Highly recommended. Will definitely visit again.

Have had lovely dinner here but called in for Sunday breakfast which they have just started. Got to say it was absolutely delicious, top quality produce and a very generous full English at a very fair price. Lovely welcome and friendly service. Thanks and will be back soon.

Breakfast was delicious! Probably one of the best Eggs Benedict I’ve had and the poached eggs were cooked to perfection! They cater for allergies and staff are super friendly. Would 100% recommend!

We called up when they opened on a Friday but they had no tables - then they called back 15 mins later saying one had become available and I’m so happy it did! The staff were super friendly and welcoming, couldn’t have made us feel more at home. The food was incredible - my wife had the special mushrooms on toast, and I had the Parmesan panna cotta which was superb - I’ve never had anything like it! We lucked out as they had beef wellington on the specials, which was so tender and flavourful, couldn’t have asked for more! Will definitely visit again next time we’re in Diss!

We were planning on eating in one pub/restaurant but fully booked and another place closed at 7pm, but we were directed to try Weavers on Market Hill in Diss. What a find!!! Positively EXCELLENT food. They deserve many kudos for their very good service and Chef who made our stay in Diss!

Had a lovely evening meal of 2 courses. I had main and dessert and husband starter and main, sufficient for our appetites. Pity we were the only ones in restaurant but Linsey was perfect host. Thoroughly enjoyed our meals.

Finally managed to attend this establishment, as its been on our list for two years. We both had steak followed by cheese and biscuits. The service was good and not intrusive. The steaks and indeed everything on the plate was really good. As the menu was listed at two or three courses we opted for the cheese and biscuits, which was a very good choice.

Excellent food and wonderful staff. I am coeliac and they cater for me brilliantly. We are definitely going back.

Beautifully cooked and presented meal, friendly and efficient service. This was our first visit to Weavers since Lindsey and Joshua took over the reins and they are clearly running a most excellent restaurant. We had a most enjoyable evening, would highly recommend!

From walking in the door to the last mouthful of dessert we could not fault anything about our evening spent with Lindsey and Josh. The service and food were excellent as always. Lindsey makes a particular good expresso Martin ( even made it a decaf one from me). I had the fish cakes to start followed by Risotto which was a rather large portion so sadly I had to leave some for the amazing jam sponge pudding which was light and airy. My husband started with the arancini balls followed by the mushroom sausage roll to complete his meal he had the apple and rhubarb crumble which in his words is to die for. Please note he is not vegetarian but really the options. We are so lucky to have this little gem of a wine bar on our doorstep. See you soon guys.

This is a great spot for fine dining. Right in the centre of Diss,easy parking. The staff were lovely, particularly the co-owner Lindsey who made us very welcome. We were 2 couples on holiday and had wonderful food, so good that we went back 3 days later. Excellent, will definitely come again when in the area.

This bright characterful restaurant set in a picturesque part of Diss is Very welcoming and comfortable with very professional staff Serving Beautiful food skilfully prepared cooked and presented Our group of four were very attentively looked after. Food was very flavourful, and sourced locally of excellent quality Generous portions, of delicious food Highly recommended.

Decided to go somewhere a little special for my birthday, unfortunately was very disappointed.First of all the positive was the staff who very welcoming and friendly. Now onto the negatives..My partner is a vegetarian and the choice was very poor and chose the Risotto which was a small serving (very tasteless)and came with no salad or anything.I had the steak which was ok (but nothing to write home about). The desert can only be described as very poor.I had the stick toffee pudding which basically was a sponge with a caramel sauce over it.(the sponge probably bought in.)My partner went for the nutty biscuit type desert which was so hard it was difficult to break into.(probably been frozen and re cooked) In summary the cost was over £82 which included 2 glasses of wine. Totally overpriced and completely underwhelming.Certainly wouldn't recommend or go back. Don't be taken in by the hype.

We went as a family for lunch on Mother's Day. This must be one of the busiest days of the year but we were given a warm welcome and the staff were friendly yet still professional throughout. There was something for everyone on the menu and the food was beautifully presented and delicious. The two mothers in our group even got a pot of flowers to take home - a lovely final touch

I loved this restaurant for years under the previous management for special occasion meals. My first visit under the new management not so much not the fabulous creations that you wouldn't dream in daily cooking at home. In fact it was just like home cooking but at the highest price we have ever paid at this restaurant. Chips were never served here before it would be a dish of lovely crispy roast potatoes with another dish of fresh vegetables. My meal was served with matchstick size chips and sticks of leeks. The pork loin was also not as tender as it could of been. My husband had steak with salad and chips. Our starter was a tiny blob of cream cheese with crumbs of something and the frangipane wasn't that special I have had better. We went as my daughter bought us a voucher for Christmas but I suspected that the previous chef at this restaurant could not be matched before I went and I was right. It was OK for and average price but it wasn't and average price it was the most expensive price we have had there. My review as always is my personal experience.

Really lovely meal today (17th March) with friends. Great food and great service. We all really enjoyed it and can’t thank you enough.

We had a lovely three course meal recently with excellent service, we couldn’t fault the evening. Not much to say other than it was delicious!!

Upon arriving at Weavers the welcome was warm and friendly. The atmosphere was good and the food was very tasty and well presented. The two course lunch menu represents good value for money. The restaurant is spotlessly clean its comfortable and a relaxing place to...

Visiting from out of town we enjoyed the quality, thoughtful and focused menu with lots of nice touches (e.g. chefs homemade bread). Front of house service very helpful and attentive. We didn’t have our coeliac family member with us in the end but the restaurant...

Brilliant Sunday Roast. We both had roast beef with all the trimmings. Perfectly cooked. Staff are fab. Highly recommended.

Visited on Friday the 10th of February with my wife. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and instantly makes you feel welcome and comfortable. We were greeted in a lovely positive manner and had our costs taken whilst we were taken to our seats. We were...

we went for lunch yesterday and had a superb meal with very good service by our server lady forgot her name

Great food Fantastic service and good price New owners have taken over and my first visit since but it was as good as before and would definitely recommend a visit

Standing ovation to Joshua and Lindsey! We treated ourselves to the special New Year’s Eve six course tasting menu. Every course was extremely tasty and portions were generous. Also there were extras not expected such as a glass of fizz on arrival and bread and...

We visited for lunch on Saturday. The food was delicious and service from Lindsey was wonderful (a rarity now a days!). We will definitely be back!

A miserable wet and cold day. We walked into Weavers on impulse for a light lunch. Lovely greeting from Linsdsey, followed by a delicious cottage pie, a glass of very pleasant house wine and an excellent coffee. One of us has a mobility problem but...

Went on a Saturday evening for our silver wedding with one other couple. We have always enjoyed meals at weavers in the past. Unfortunately it was not what is was! We had a table at 7.30 so not particularly late but were told immediately the...

Weavers has always been a firm favourite of ours in Diss and this was the first time that we visited with the restaurant under its new owners. ( albeit they informed us that they were nearly at their first anniversary!) We went for Sunday lunch...

We thoroughly enjoyed the evening menu and choices available. The restaurant has maintained its character since the change of ownership which is pleasing to see.

Superb start to end! Greeted by lovely Lindsay who made us feel very welcome. We were the only diners for 1/2 hour but the atmosphere didn’t feel empty. There was adequate choices from the either lunch or dinner menu. Beautifully presented and cooked to perfection....

Having recently moved into the area, we didn’t get a chance to try Weavers under old ownership, despite hearing many wonderful reviews. That being said, we visited for Sunday lunch with the new owners and can confirm the food is absolutely beautiful! Certainly a step...

Some friends visited us and wonted to go to a proper restaurant. So we had a lovely meal at weavers & really nice wine, the staff are very nice and it’s a really nice venue. The Menu is fairly limited & the sweets are a...

Visited on a Wednesday night, as a passerby in Diss. I was amazed by the quality of food and exceptional value. 3 courses for £34 in Essex it would have been double. Large glass of very good wine £7 again would expect to pay double...

To celebrate our special anniversary we visited Weavers for the very first time and were greatly impressed. The food was absolutely lovely, surroundings lovely and lovely service from Lindsey. We loved it so much that we have just booked again for Sunday Lunch!

We popped in here one Saturday lunchtime as we hadn’t tried it since the previous owners had sadly left. Although you cannot compare the old and new as they are completely different and we loved the new menu and choices etc. The wine list is...

We have lived in Palgrave since September 2015 and have always wanted to visit here especially as I have recommended it to my guests in my airbnb. I was not disappointed. Every mouthful was amazing. Lindsey was our server and she was so lovely and...

Very friendly staff and the food was excellent In fact I wanted my starter of the Plaice fillet With capers and roasted fennel to go on for ever. It was so yummy My main of risotto was cooked perfectly. Went with a group of friends...

Fabulous food, excellent service, great atmosphere. We stumbled across this restaurant in Diss and oh what a find. Fine dining at a very reasonable price

Perfect dining establishment with very friendly staff (served by Lindsey and Jane). The food was excellent, the duck dish absolute perfection and my other half said the Cod was perfect as well.

Waitress polite but not engaging. Made no conversation. A piece of toast was served with very salty butter. Unusual we thought. It was crunchy and loud to eat. Asparagus starter was bland. No flavour at all. The Hollandaise sauce was hardly visible or had any...

A really caring friendly atmosphere was a good start. The wine was delicious and the wood pigeon starter both tender and tasty. My sirloin steak was also cooked to perfection and the apple crumble finished off the feast joyfully. I was particularly impressed by the...

Weavers is wine bar and restaurant with great character and serves excellent food. This is our first visit to Suffolk and Diss. We'll definitely be booking here the next time we stay locally.

We had a delicious meal as a family celebration here. Our waitress, Poppy, was fantastic and made the evening special. The 3 course menu was ideal, clearly a smaller number of choices meant the food was freshly prepared, which I think is very important. Thoroughly...

Our first visit since the new owners. There's a good range of meals on the menu. We had a really nice meal, although a full house and on mother's day, the staff coped with efficiency and a smile. We will be back for more soon.

Four of us enjoyed our meal, two vegetarians and two meat eaters. Staff very friendly and attentive. Would definitely go again.

Great food served on time at a fair price. Not a vast menu choice but everything you would want for a standard level of menu.

We enjoyed the meal although it obviously wasn't Weavers as was, the food was very nice. It must be difficult to take over one of the best restaurants in East Anglia. I would go again but not on a regular basis. They do have a...

We had a lovely evening at this great find whilst staying on a break in Norfolk. The price of the menu for the quality of food was very good value and the food was SO excellent, we highly recommend if you are in the area!

Visited Weavers under new ownership, fantastic evening. Highly recommend for great tasting food at a fantastic price. Thanks to our servers also who contributed to a brilliant evening. We’ll be back!

This Diss institution is closing down after 34 years of serving great food and excellent hospitality to the community. We wanted to ensure that we went as close to their last day as we could. Superb service great food as normal. We both had to...

I called tonight just after 6 pm to make a table booking for next week. I was told that they were too busy to take my call and could not make a booking but would call me back. They took no name just a number....

Love it here just wish I lived closer. Such a wonderful restaurant with the tastiest food. Beautifully presented plates wonderful staff and unbelievably well priced. A small restaurant so if you’re unable to book a table you can preorder a takeaway. One of my all...

We had a three course take away from Weavers this evening, excellent all round, the chicken livers were beautiful, pink and soft, skate wing with lovely fresh vegetables and a super panne cotta for my wife and gorgeous ginger pud for me !! A bottle...

Had a take out meal for 4 - very professionally served by Katrina out on Market Hill ! The presentation and packaging was very impressive as were the contents ( as always )

We haven't eaten out regularly since returning to UK 6 years ago after 14 years in France, as we eat better at home than at most restaurants being retired hoteliers and my wife a rosetted chef. Eating-out has become such poor value: £80 + a...

This is just a really nice place to go for a special meal. The service was excellent and it represents very good value for money. There was plenty of space and we felt very safe. All three of us really enjoyed our evening there.

We had a meal here for our anniversary and it was as always a super meal in a lovely atmosphere of an old beamed building. Our slow cooked steak was so tender it was like butter. The fresh veg and roast potatoes were lovely and...

We were passing through on our way to Sussex and looking for a place to eat lunch. We had the fixed price 2 course lunch. I kept the bill to remind me to write a review because it was so good and now a month...

We visited for a birthday meal. We opted for three courses and all were thoroughly enjoyed. Generous portions of bread arrived with the starters and similar sized portions of vegetables with the mains. The restaurant has lots of little alcoves which enables the tables to...

I posted a review following my previous visit in 2017. Not being a local resident, my wife and I only go when visiting friends who live in Diss. We went with said friends again yesterday for lunch, the Prix Fixe menu being £16.95 for two...

As ever friendly staff/ service, dining experience & food quality didn’t disappoint. If you are looking to have a special dining treat in a clean, friendly, Covid safety conscious environment then I would thoroughly recommend.

Superb meal - the stater was a great twist on an old favourite of prawn cocktail. The main was incredible and the staff were friendly and helpful. I had the best dessert ever! I couldn’t fault it a thing about the meal or the ambiance. The price was good and I came away so excited about going back again.

First time after lockdown eating inside four chicken liver four pork two cheesecake and two pavlova all delicious the food is to die for The service was great as usual It was nice to be waited on and not have to wash up thank you all so much see you soon xxx

We visited on a break away after a recommendation from our Airbnb owner. The food was fantastic, we felt very safe with the covid measures implemented and they catered incredibly well for my wheat and dairy allergy. Thank you so much for a lovely evening! We absolutely loved our meals.

Saw this at start of a week’s holiday and booked for the first available slot. All meals chosen in advance on line. New Covid safe system was faultless. Had a fabulous meal at a very reasonable price. Would heartily recommend.

The takeaway we had last week cemented Weavers as my favourite restaurant ever, and I have been to quite a few. To provide a meal of that quality, still hot and perfectly cooked, as a takeaway and at that price, is remarkable. I have recommended it to several people. As I am currently confined to a wheelchair, it was a rare treat to have a restaurant meal. Well done to Katrina and the rest of the staff.

We had a take away meal on the 24th April as a special treat during these difficult times. Everything was very hot and it was lovely having a special meal that we didn't have to cook. The food was spot on as usual. Thank you William and Katrina and look forward to seeing you soon.

We had a fantastic takeaway last night from Weavers. All super-efficient. The meal was piping hot when we got home after a 15-minute journey. All three of us had different choices and each was absolutely delicious. Well done for the hard work that must have gone into perfecting this. We will book again with no hesitation. Thank you for making our Saturday evening so good in these weird times.

In these difficult times Weavers have continued to come up trumps with their takeaway service. Certainly the best takeaway we’ve ever had, the quality of food is as high as eating in the restaurant, our favourite restaurant. Congratulations and thanks to Will Katrina & Elsa L&J xx

Thank you so much William, Katrina and Elsa for a lovely takeaway meal tonight. (And the birthday meal last week!) Weavers has always been our go to place for celebratory meals, and the weekend takeaway currently offered in these extraordinary and frightening times is the most wonderful treat. It's amazing just how well you do it, and eating your takeaways at home feels like having a very special meal out at a really excellent restaurant (like Weavers!). My meal was so delicious last week I had exactly the same this week!Please keep it up, and like no doubt a lot of others, we, God willing, look forward to celebrating the end of these terrible times with a family meal actually on your premises.

Had takeaway dinner last night was super you preorder your meal and are given a time slot to collect tap on kitchen window and your dinner is bagged and ready The food is of the same high standard you would expect inside the restaurant in cute takeaway containers from the first bite to the last it’s delicious we’ll done guys for trading in this tough crazy world we will be back soon thank you stay safe ❤️❤️

Popped in for my birthday with friends Katrina and will never disappoint we all love the chicken livers and I had pork dish which is amazing crackling to die for delicious desserts and great service See you soon and thanks for a lovely lunch x

A really super lunch from the fixed price menu at lunchtime on a Tuesday.Hadn't booked so had to wait 40 minutes for a table. I think the delay was due to the number of staff on in the kitchen but don't let that put you off.On a cold day it was warm and cosy inside and the food was first class at a price that was very good value.

We have probably been to Weavers more times than anywhere else over the last twenty five or so years and are likely to continue doing so as long as those lovely people keep doing the same things! We recently visited this great place with friends and were treated, yet again, to an excellent evening of great food and wine combined with excellent service. This is a traditional local restaurant which remains consistent in providing lovely dishes served in very comfortable and relaxed surroundings.

Lovely food plenty of food to eatwith super service--friendly and warm. I liked in particular the way they took a popular chines dish and reworked it brilliantly A lovely meal for all 4 of us!

We all thoroughly enjoyed a fantastic christmas meal together. The restaurant was beautifully decorated for the festive season. The staff were welcoming and attentive and the food was to die for.

Superb food, ambience and staff. It's the second time we've been and we will be going again and again. Great choice of wines, the staff are polite and engaging. I can't find anything to complain about it was the first I had ever had Skate and it was delicious. Keep up the great work, it's a pleasure to dine out when you go to a place like this.

Weavers know their customer base ! Over the years they have managed to develop a menu that includes the owner/chefs and regular clientele “must haves” with other additions which are always seasonally focused. The bar and wines prices are reasonable and they keep serving up what people want. Last night we visited again, starters included the “must have” chicken livers in Madeira. Mains, pork in Chinese style sauce, a marvellous Dover sole. Always with a good vegetable selection.

Delicious food, fantastic service, outstanding experience of fine dining. Will definitely be visiting again.

Weavers offers v. personable, friendly and exceptionally good dining experience. Restaurant has such a welcoming/cosy atmosphere. Menu caters for everyone’s needs-be it vegetarian, gluten free etc. Food is absolutely fantastic-seasonal, classic/ inspired combinations, hot, beautifully presented on plates & absolutely delicious. Our celebratory meal was made extra special by the level of care/ service we received. I would throughly recommended this as an evening treat especially during the week the restaurant is a bit quieter. Do not be perturbed by negative/personal comments posted by others-complete & utter/ jealous nonsense. Big Forks Up. 10 out of 10.

What a find this was! We travelled up from London for the weekend to visit friends in the area. Weavers was recommended to us and it could not have been better. The setting, atmosphere and food were all 5 stars. Our waitress Katrina was very attentive and knowledgeable, taking the time to explain every dish, including a description of where the local ingredients came from. Would highly recommend visiting this lovely restaurant. We’ll be back.

13 of us ate here during a business trip to Diss.

I can never fault the food or service here. The seasonal menu and quality of food makes me glad we have Weavers in Diss. I like that you can buy a carafe of wine. I look forward to dinig here again soon.

This was our first visit here, although our friends have been quite a few times. It's a charming building, with both upstairs as well as downstairs seating.

4 of us had dinner 4th May and what a lovely find.

Six friends enjoyed a delicious mid week lunch from the varied and changing prix fixe menu which offers good value for food of this quality - all intend to return. Recommend booking as it is not a large restaurant and be aware the stairs to the first floor additional dining area in this ancient building are very steep. Friendly obliging staff add to the relaxed ambiance of this locally popular restaurant.

Was of skiing so last meal in uk.Arrived was shown to table all very friendly.Then it started to all wrong given menu and yes had forgotten my ready glasses asked had they got a pair to borrow and yes they had ,so my day got better.Went for the hot liver in a sweet sauce on toast plus salad (but a nice neat salad)

This restaurant never disappoints me. Been there several times and everytime the food is amazing. Will carry on visiting Weavers for as long as possible. Fully recommend Weavers for an excellent place to eat. You will not be disappointed.

Consistently brilliant. Weavers will never, ever disappoint. Excellent team of front of house staff, delivering the best food. The whole menu is a delight and each visit is cherished.

What an outstanding restaurant. Been going there for 10 years and every meal I've had there has been excellent. The chef changes the menu dishes subtly all the time so youre there's always variation on favourite dishes. Couple that with a lovely cosy old world atmosphere and friendly attentive service. Just the best around here!

3 of us had different starters, the chicken livers were particularly good. Choices for the set menu were good and varied, something for everyone. Service was attentive and swift even though there was only one person serving and the restaurant was quite full.

Visited Weavers for the first time today and was greatly impressed.

Had a really great group Christmas meal in December and a friends birthday meal a few weeks earlier. The friends meal from the normal menu was pretty ordinary to be honest, not bad but lacking inspiration and that special touch .. I had a Salmon starter and could not get over how small the tiny chunk of Salmon was . Not even a mouthful.

I heard lots of reviews about this place and had very high hopes. Unfortunately I found it uncomfortable and the food was mediocre if that. I had a steak, I was not offered how I liked it cooked and it was pretty much a slim carving. I would not return.

Have been a customer of Weavers for 30 years and they never fail to provide consistently good food. Quality ingredients, imaginatively prepared and cooked. Friendly well trained staff. William is probably the best individual chef in the Diss area.

I have been to dinner in weavers on more than a few occasions,because it is one of the best venues for dinner in Diss or the surrounding area.its concistently good food,good service and a totally enjoyable evening.very intimate little restaurant good and varied menu a comprehensive wine list. Staff are attentive without being intrusive what more could one ask.(5 stars).I might regret writing such a good review if I can't get a booking next time(but hey ho) if it's good it's good.enjoy your meal!

Superb quality, incredible value for money & really tasty food - all 3 courses were fantastic. Could not fault at all - will certainly return despite living over 40 miles away. 3 days later and I'm still thinking about the delicious food.
