Wig & Pen in Norwich

Had a most amazing Sunday roast. It's enormous and beautifully cooked.

Excellent Mother’s Day roast. Superb. Service brilliant. Great food and drink selection - will return ASAP!

Beer and Food were very good per previous visits, but food service was unexpectedly slow without any expectation or heads-up being given when ordering, so we spent 40 minutes nursing our drinks waiting for our light lunchtime meal and cancelled the activity we had planned to do after lunch.

Popped in for drinks and wish we had stayed longer, friendly staff lovely beer.

Fantastic pub! We enjoyed a spectacular Beef & Ale Pie ( which we will no doubt return for) the most delicious gravy ever plus the nachos was well enjoyed too. Our dog Neville was also warmly welcomed with treats & a bowl of water on arrival - Dog friendly!! We will definitely be back!! The Ale and GnT hit the spot too 😊

Wanted a quiet pint with a mate on a midweeker. Chilled, cosy atmosphere. Aim for an after work pint in the week as may close early.

Had a Sunday lunch here today for a family birthday, there were lots of us..The food & service were superb, nothing was too much trouble..I’d like to say a big thank you to the chef & the staff for such a fantastic lunch. Would have no hesitation in returning.

Incredibile food and great atmosphere

Great pub, good food and very welcoming friendly staff 😀 👍

Had welcome drink on Boxing Day. Busy, cosy and friendly

We hadn’t been for nearly a year, partly because it’s always booked well in advance. Today we had a table & the landlord remembered how my partner likes his gravy served!

Really fantastic food - the steak and ale pie was the best I’ve ever had - plus super friendly service and a great selection of well-kept ales. Beautiful location too.

Had a nice pint out side .fair price

Argyle on tour !! 9hrs to get here by train but a 20 minute walk to this pub and with a nice real ale in my hand it mattered not. Nice bar staff....very friendly and even guided me to a few more pubs on the way back to Carrow Road stadium. Lovely old traditional pub steeped in history. Sadly, another bad day for Argyle.....we got stuffed 6 - 1. Ah well....only another 9hrs to get home....

Had a lovely Sunday roast here. A fine place to stay an hour whilst the rain came down. Good selection of wines and beer and the fun was nice. Cauliflower cheese was mild. Would recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Great pub, food was excellent and arrived promptly and hot.

Didn't eat but food looked fab, real Ales and very dog friendly would definitely go back

The best scotch eggs in Norwich! Alex behind the bar is a delight. Didn’t want a full meal so a scotch egg was perfect as they were huge!

The food is good but the menu a bit static. It's got all the beers and some good ales normally. The service is the best so what's not to like in what is just a great old local pub. A lovely place with a good outdoor area too.

Food ok, overcooked burger but ok. Reasonable selection of ales.

Nice enough place with reasonable food but beer selection lacking for me. Mainly pales/IDA'S and no decent bitter or dark ales.

Very friendly staff, great service, and a good selection of beers!

We hadn't made a reservation for lunch but we were very lucky to get a table. I would highly recommend booking for Sunday lunch. The Sunday lunch menu offers roast beef or chicken or a nut roast. There were also 3 other options, plus dessert (which none of us had room for) My daughter got a smaller plate (no issue accommodating that) of the roast chicken which was just so well cooked. Very juicy and full of flavour. Husband and I went for the roast beef. Again absolutely cooked to perfection and really generous number of slices. All the roasts came with plenty of seasonal vegetables plus the best roasties my husband says he has ever had out. Yorkshire puddings were crisp and light. The roast dinners come with a gravy boat so you can add as much or little as you like. Service was really good, the staff were all very friendly and welcoming. There's always a lovely atmosphere here and we will definitely be visiting again.

The London welsh male voice choir held their après here last weekend after s wonderful concert in the Cathedral. A great welcome and plenty of beer choices

Great atmosphere, good food and super staff, highly recommend

Great little pub very friendly good menu

Been to several "wakes" at this venue,sadly but all have been well organised & food & drink 1st class.

What a great find. Great range of beers even if I was only on the soft stuff. Good food. Wished I had ordered the loaded chips what a creative idea with so many variations. Great service, attentive whilst very busy lunchtime. Offer of local knowledge in terms of walks and convenient parking. Definitely recommend a visit.

Gorgeous pub very close to the cathedral. It has a good range of beers and excellent menu. The portion sizes are generous, we had two baguettes and a side of chips with mozzarella and chorizo. There is efficient and friendly table service.

Didn't have food, so can't really judge. Everything else was really good.

Great food great beer very nice cheers

We stopped here for lunch just before a 3hr drive home, the staff were warm and welcoming, the food we had was absolutely perfect, well the staff made the atmosphere which was very friendly and helpful.

This pub is cashless. Didn't know until I got in there.

Great good, great staff and always friendly. My favourite in Norwich

Excellent pub. Very friendly staff, great drinks and great prices. Many thanks 😁

Many thanks for amazing welcoming service and food 😀

We took our dogs there today for Sunday lunch. Lovely sunny day, and busy. Didn't have to wait that long for our food! We had roast chicken with all the trimmings, Thai curry, and steak in ale pie, roast spuds and veg, cooked just right, nice and crisp broccoli 🥦! Lovely meal, thouroghly enjoyed by all of us.

Love this pub and have done for years just outside of the city centre. Lovely atmosphere and good food with friendly staff Sports on tv and a perfect beer garden. What more could you want.

Booked here to go for lunch as slightly out of the centre and dog friendly, she had her own bowl of water ready on arrival and treats soon followed. Two of us had the burger and two had pie, we all really enjoyed it and definitely no room for dessert! Friendly staff and we would definitely go again, 😁

"Wow, I just stumbled upon the most charming pub! It's an absolute gem!" The Sunday roast was beautifully cooked and delicious and the cheesecake was sublime! We will be back ,well done ,👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Had been intending to try the Wig and Pen for some time, today we finally came along. We had the Sunday roast and it was excellent. The service was amazing and even thoug the place was very busy the young lads serving us gave us genuine attention., and took the time to talk to us. An all round positive experience, we will def be back again soon

Lovely Sunday lunch with friendly staff,

Very tasty food and great service

Had Sunday lunch. Can highly recommend the Steak and Ale pie, followed by Apple Crumble !

The bar tender was very friendly and attentive. I had the steak pie which had lots of meat, served with fresh vegetables. My partner had chips with mushrooms, brie and cranberry which he enjoyed. We will definitely be back again!

Good place, decent beer, were nice to my dog 👍

The service was given with a smile and the food was excellent in this traditional cosy pub. The roast dinner was delicious.

Lovely pub, made to feel very welcome. Food is very good, especially the Sunday roasts.

Really enjoyed my experience here. Great service and delicious food. I would come again. Great hostess and made us feel so welcome.....thank you.

Birthday celebrations at Wig & Pen. Staff friendly and welcoming, food great. Lovely old pub and will be back.

Lovely atmosphere and service. The food was good. Decent. Large portions.

Fabulous venue Delicious food and excellent draft beer. If you visit Norwich, truth Wig n Pen. A historic pub.

Great food and beer, really nice atmosphere and attentive team. Thank you!

Beautiful old pub in Norwich historical district. Good drinks selection, nice staff. Do visit.

Great for a lunch but don’t be blown away with the dinner options. I can go into a long berated review and be overly negative but this serves no real purpose.

Always a friendly welcome , good food, outside seating, smoking area. 6 cask lines,9 draft lines.

Seemed a nice and friendly when we popped in for a visit 👍🏻

Popped in for a light lunch, good service and lovely food. Good value for money.

Excellent pub, tucked away from main areas of the city of Norwich. Cathedral views. Outdoor seating, very popular in summer months. Polite and friendly staff

Lovely helpful staff who found us a table even though it was a football Saturday

First time we've visited the Wig & Pen. Amazing food with great service. Reasonably priced and good range of beers. Highly recommend their Sunday roast. We had roast beef and roast chicken and it was excellent. Also recommend their steak n' ale pie with veg. Superb! Will definitely visit again.

Fantastic!! Amazing!!! Brilliant place, the food was outstanding and the service was second to none. The staff could not do enough to help us tonight, the food portions were fantastic. We had to ask for a take away box for the chilli nachos as the portion size was amazing. Thank you for an amazing night guys. Would highly recomend this place. ❤❤❤❤❤

Nice local beers and good food. Popular with football crowd.

Great service and beer. The food was good too but their roast potatoes seem to be deep fried.

Popped in whilst doing a networking event and the staff were so accommodating.

We tried this pub for the first time on Sunday for food and drinks. The service was excellent and friendly, with a good choice of beers and local ales. We both had Sunday roast which was superb and definitely the best I have had for a long time. We will definitely be back!

A nice pint, in a nice part of Norwich- job done

Excellent in all respects. Advise to phone and book if possible

Really lovely older pub near the cathedral. I visited in the evening and there were plenty of people but the service was quick and it wasn't too loud at all. You can either sit inside or outside depending on the weather and how you feel. I had the fish and chips which arrived quickly. It was really tasty and the food was hot and fresh. I'd definitely return if I was visiting the area again.

Lovely pub with friendly staff, great food and a nice atmosphere. The fish and chips were excellent. Highly recommended.

Lovely pub with a nice area to sit outside and enjoy Norwich

Friendly staff. Good criends. Delicious Sea Bream & noodles. What more do you need?

Great food goodb price. Great setting

Pie and fish and chips, pint of IPA and a medium Sauvignon, £41 - look no further! Fabulous inside (as far as we went) and lovely outside seating place. The pie was a major event all on its own. Highly recommended.

Excellent food and service. I will certainly go back. I have just been back for lunch and took a friend. Lovely coconut prawn salad and my friend had a feta cheese baguette with salad. Also excellent value for money.

Great food, good atmosphere & excellent hospitality!

Lovely place to sit in the sun & enjoy a cold drink or two.

Can't fault the pub very good food and service

Friendly, helpful service with good beer and food.

Great place to eat great service hope was amazing

Location is nice with parking nearby, food selection was more designed for a lunch rather than a dinner but was still very good for a Pub. Members of staff were very kind and friendly but service was slow, would return but no rush to go there for food

If you're visiting the city this is the best place to stop for lunch. Especially Sunday lunch but book cause it gets busy, the roasties are a must. Always Clean, lovely staff and dog friendly too.

Enjoyed Sunday Lunch with friends. Lovely atmosphere & ending up spending 5 hours there! - Revisit September 2022 & repeat 6 hours spent eating, drinking & chatting with friends again! Revisited 30 April 2023 for drinks & a bite to eat with friends. Again good food, great staff & good atmosphere. Would recommend

Very old Norwich pub. Friendly staff and good beer.

Good choice of ales, tasty food and lovely staff. They don't accept cash anymore. Surprisingly quiet on Friday night, so they closed at 9:30.

A really friendly pub ..First time in there and we were made to feel really welcome

Lovely service, food was good, ambient is cozy. Suitable for families and pets.

We went Sunday lunchtime, didn't fancy a roast so had a tasty halloumi wrap instead! Friendly staff, cosy atmosphere inside, toilets lovely and clean! Haven't been to this pub in a very long time, but will definitely be popping in again soon!

Lovely pub just up from the magistrates court in Norwich. A good range of local beers were on tap and well kept. The staff were friendly and had good knowledge of the beer. It's lovely in the summer when they open outside and you can watch people while drinking a beer. They also serve food but, on this occasion we didn't eat there. Would definitely recommend that you visit.

Lovely lunch here last weekend. Really friendly staff. Yummy food and a traditional pub vibe. Loved it!

Friendly staff and great real ale

One of the best pubs in Norwich. Great staff, food and beer.

Straight forward selection of food, main courses as well as wraps and baguettes. Great staff and an unpretentious atmosphere.

4/10 for food and value for money 10/10 for staff and service.

Good selection of beers, pulled pork loaded chips highly recommend. Proper pub.

Went to wig and pen for my sisters birthday today and The food was amazing.... Polite stuff especially Alex felt very welcome definitely be going again

Very nice warm pub. Unfortunately there was no food available on this visit, but still got a friendly welcome and drinks of my choice.

The dog loves this spot. Nice open fires and great service.
