The best restaurants in Thorpe St Andrew South East Broadland East of England

Finally visited and can't wait to return. Wonderful service from really friendly staff. Delicious Thai lunch. Sitting by the river in the sun. What more could you want. It's just such a lovely spot. Search it out, it's worth it. But there's only a couple more days of the season. We'll have to be patient and wait for the spring to return. Can't wait!

One of mine and my partners favourite Indian Places to eat in Norwich, the food and service is just 10/10. Beautiful flavours, Amazing environment.

The New Posh Menu is splendid. The old menu was great if you wanted a meal deal or a reasonably priced lunch and that is still available. Now, in addition, Dave has created a Michelin star type menu for us foodies. Among the new delights are harissa salad,oysters,cromer crab various steaks and my favourite whole sea bass.This beautifully cooked and I suspect locally sourced fish comes with usual and 'Heritage' beetroot,slightly sweeter and more fragrant. Nicely presented salad and succulent saute potatoes.Well worth the price. Ithouroughly reccommend you try it. Welcome back Dave.

I feel harsh about 2 stars as the food I had was great and for the most the atmosphere was good. I was with a large group that reserved a table and ended up having a couple people adding on that left 1 (me) not having a seat. So conversing with a waitress they were happy for me to sit at the end of the table on a sofa this way I wouldnt have my back against the work outing I was attending. It was also mentioned to me that others may sit at the table aswell due to being lunch time, again completely fine. However as I was still eating my food i was approached by a blonde female waitress that rudely demanded I was to change tables as it was lunch time so 2 ladies could sit. Having a mouthful of food I was taken back from how I was approached. Reluctantly I moved not to be given a table but to be given a chair sat between 2 tables. Although I was with this group I'm now blocking wheel chair access to 3 out of 6 wheel chair user's + the people pushing the wheel chairs. Up until this point we were all having a wonderful time. We would of happily had more drinks but due to how this was handled we hastily left.. all 13 of us! That's £40 just on another round of hot drinks. I don't write reviews but this poor customer service has been bothering me all day!

Loveday and Partners. Financial Advisers are 1st class

Very good service very polite and they speak to you

Great place busy very polite staff

family room had lovely view over river Yare and pub garden. Staff friendly and clean, pleasant room. Carvery was tasty!

Beautiful pub, great location and scenery especially on a sunny day. Shame about the food.

So, me and my good lady went here for breakfast this morning, 22/09/24. She asked for eggs benedict and I asked for the full English. My drink was coke and I asked for no ice, of course it came WITH ice but no big deal, I let that go. The meals arrived and my partners was Eggs Royale NOT eggs benedict that she had asked for. I pointed this out to the server and she whisked it away and apologised. My Full English only had one sausage, the menu states sausages, sausage with an S on the end implies more than one and I said so. Also a flat mushroom, as on the menu is not HALF a mushroom, again I pointed this out to the server, along with the fact that my toast had no butter on it and none was provided or offered. The half tomato, again tomato on the menu is NOT HALF of a tomato, looked like it had been cooked before and kicked around the kitchen a few times but I let THAT go too. The poor girl was very apologetic and went off to get my butter, sausage and the other half of my mushroom, along with my partners' eggs benedict, which came back suspiciously quickly considering we had waited for half an hour for our meals previously, and sure enough, she could taste the salmon in it when she started eating. The "chef" had obviously swapped the salmon for ham and sent it back out, luckily my partner is not allergic to salmon.. We ate it and I paid as we were both so hungry that neither of us wanted to try to find somewhere else to get breakfast before the cut off time but we were both VERY disappointed by the whole thing as we expect better from any restaurant but especially one that I THOUGHT was a quality establishment, I was obviously very wrong about that based on this experience, shocked really isn't a strong enough word..

Best carvery I've had in years, potato's cooked to perfection gammon was very juicy and fresh very friendly staff. What more could you want

We had a fantastic birthday lunch for my Mum. Staff members Poppy, Nicole, Carolyn and Abbie were very helpful and attentive, which made the visit very enjoyable! I had the signature burger with a side of halloumi fries; both were fantastic. My mum had the steak pie, which you can’t go wrong with, as it comes with a good portion of veg. My dad had the toad in the whole which was from the specials; it does lack veg, however he said it was great. For dessert, we had a sticky toffee pudding and a trio of dessert which we shared among us. They also made a board with a small bit of brownie that said Happy birthday on. Like i have said, the service was great and so was the food!!

Thought we would give The River Garden one more chance and unfortunately we were disappointed as we were on previous visits. A group of possibly regulars standing at the bar were extremely loud and using offensive language. Out of three meals two were passable but the fish and chips were inedible particularly the fish. It was vastly over cooked, dry and crispy. It would have been returned but the kitchen was then closing so there was no point. It’s a shame this pub doesn’t up its game where the food is involved as the outside area is well kept and makes a great setting for a Summer drink and food. Unfortunately no more chances!!
