They still do the Mac n Cheese, which is great, big fan of that. I had it again yesterday-October 14th. Great Alcohol selection as always, we had Prosecco little bottles again. Food & Drinks all at a reasonable price plus Staff are still lovely & kind. Also its our fave pub, nice & cosy inside. Been here many times, and still my fave pub.

Love this pub mainly for the fact you get a discount on food & drink with your car park ticket! As chain pubs go, this is one of the better ones, the food is decent & reasonably priced, staff are really lovely and there's plenty of seating inside and out. Sports lovers dream as TVs in all areas (incl outside) often showing diff sports (horse racing) Great pub, I frequent it waaaaaay top often!

We hadn't booked, but got in early enough to nab a free table and were glad we did, it was so busy. Hats off to the team working, they did not stop for hours. There was a bit of a wait to get to the bar, but that was expected considering how busy it was.

The 2 stars go to the nice atmosphere and the friendly lady behind the bar! If you want to eat, go somewhere else!! I came here because of the good references and ordered a salt & pepper chilli chicken. What I got were baked chicken strips and chips which looked as if they'd come straight out of the freezer. There were a few cold pepper strips on top - but no onions, no herb garnish and definitly no spices or chili. The curry sauce tasted nothing like curry. It was just a brown mush with a thick skin on top. And the sauce bottles at my table and the next one were nearly empty... There was some scent though as the table smelled of spilled beer. Sorry guys - this place really deserves better!

Enjoyed playing darts and eating here, the only let down which I will say is quite a significant one is the parking situation. The first two times I did not spot the signs as they are not clear and obvious, despite the owner insisting there is lots of signs (which there is to be fair) most people in the reviews including myself did not notice them. Nor did any of the people I took to the pub. In all honesty from what I can see is damaging your reputation, please move the meter to the front of the car park with a sign saying pay and display above so it is obvious. I am now awaiting two tickets which will need to be rescinded. I will still continue to use the pub as they do offer £3 off the parking which isn’t enough sometimes as I like playing darts for a while and now I know the parking situation and understand its reasons have no problem with it other than it not being clear and obvious despite the many attempts at making it such.

Pub itself is nice and welcoming, but the situation they've gotten themselves into regarding their car park is horrendous. Britannia Parking seems determined to make it as difficult as possible to spot that it is in fact a pay and display (poor signage, hidden meter) and I, like many reviewers, fell into their trap. I certainly won't be returning - there are plenty of options where parking isn't so convoluted.

I used to go and with the way Norwich parking was it was great I could go eat have a drink and park my car and come back have another drink and bite to eat before leaving. However went there yesterday and now you can no longer register your car at the counter as customer ... so from now on I will not be going there as parking is too high and onto of that you need to pay cash. The guy on counter was like no we don't do that even though I knew you did. Then took the board of the shelf... well one less customer and roughly 25 pound in your till instead ill pay it for parking take care

We'd booked a table here but when we turned up there was a massive noisy retirement party going on and our table was right in the middle. We ordered a bottle of wine first on the app but 20 minutes later it still hadn't arrived so I went up to the bar to ask. A rather testy bar operative didn't apologize but said they were 'going to do it next'. We also ordered food on the app and that came quickly. Our two burgers were quite good but my fellow diner's brioche roll was burnt. We may try it again on a quieter day but we didn't particularly enjoy the experience this time, sorry.

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.
