The best restaurants in Thorpe Hamlet Norwich East of England

We walk into the city weekly, the departure lounge is always our first stop. The main reason is, in my opinion it’s the best coffee in the city. We do not eat often but the food we have had is always good The current owner is a nice guy who always chats .

We have just had the most amazing lunch, we were party of 6, wine perfectly matched with our meal, fat juicy mussels followed by the most delicious ox checks that just melted, with fab chips, finished off with the most delightful chocolate mousse & passion fruit sorbet, pure joy. We could not fault the service and delicious meal, in the centre of stunning city of Norwich Femi & Belinda are the fabulous hosts

We had a wonderful evening meal, service great, ambience too and the food was outstanding. We were the only people in the restaurant all evening and were made to feel very special. We will definitely be back next time we visit Norwich.

Fantastic chicken burger, thanks

We were visiting as a special treat for our sons birthday. The service from the waiting staff was very good and the food came out nice and quick. This is an expensive restaurant, expect to pay around £50 a head just for the main meal so I was expecting good quality food. However, I was very disappointed with the quality of my piece of steak. I always order rib eye and I fully understand this is a fattier cut of meat compared to say sirloin or fillet but the majority of the meat was inedible due to sinue and thick, white fat, the type that is never going to melt when cooked resulting in chewy inedible meat. I did bring this to the attention of the waitress who then asked the manager to come over. She did apologise but then went on to say that it was just my ‘bad luck’ due to the cow! She went on to explain that all cows have different levels of fat and I had just been unlucky! This is no way to talk to a paying customer and more so, insult my intelligence! I am shocked to have experienced such bad customer service from a very respectable restaurant. On their website it says their philosophy is, I quote : “Prime is built upon our passion for delivering both an excellent service and the highest quality of food.” On this occasion, the service and quality of food did not meet their so called standards and I have been left feeling very let down and angry. When I received the bill, I had still been charged full price for my steak which I was surprised to see as I hadn’t been able to eat it. I paid the bill including the steak because it was a family meal which didn’t want to spoil it and thought I would express my disappointment formerly. I did email them but they never even had the decency to acknowledge my email hence why I am writing this review.

My husband and I called here for a drink Saturday evening on the way to eat out somewhere nearby, with another couple. The football crowd had left, pleasant surroundings with just the right amount of people to make a good atmosphere. What was bizarre was that the staff insisted on serving our drinks in plastic glasses. We questioned this, and said that all other tables we could see had proper glasses, but were told they’d booked tables to eat and were allowed proper glasses. Crazy, as we sat on a table in the middle of other tables, all with proper glasses!

Dirijo un sitio social de Norwich Norwich Social Adventure y hemos usado Cafe Pure varias veces. Muy buena cafetería con un personal muy amable y servicial. Buena selección de comida en oferta, buena variedad de café y té, incluido descafeinado. También hacen chocolate caliente y bebidas frías. Bonito plan de asientos con muchos asientos y mesas por dentro y por fuera. Tiende a estar un poco ocupado entre 8. 15 am - 8. 45 am de lunes a viernes con personas recogiendo bebidas en el camino al trabajo, lo que demuestra que es un lugar popular.

We called into this small café for a light breakfast. We were surprised to find they sold pastel de nata ( Portuguese custard tarts). We enjoyed two of these with flat white coffee, sat in a small space in the window.

Quick and easy wrap. Kind welcoming and service throught and a delicious wrap prepared. I will definitely be back. Thank you again.

Great chip shop amazing battered sausages, chip cut size a little small for my liking, but best tasting around the area

Absolutely amazing quality as always. The food always arrives hot and tastes incredible. Such good value for money and the staff are always amazing and they listen too so the order is never wrong. Thank you.

Me sorprendió mucho descubrir que esto era tan encantador que, por alguna razón, a lo largo de los años pensé que era una especie de buceo. El restaurante estaba muy limpio, bien ventilado y luminoso y el personal encantador. Buena comida también.

We like to discover new cafes and small restaurants where breakfast lunch coffee and cAAAke are served. Firstly the location and position of this Café is fabulous. This is helped by the wonderful surrounding garden beds. Well stocked colourful and really well looked after. The Cafe is located in an old classic attractive grade 2 building, ( Pavilion ) reminiscent of a stately home! Large tall windows allow lots of light inside, and brought a smile to our faces as we entered. Dog friendly too! We had mistimed our intended breakfast visit as this finishes at midday and the lunch menu then commences. Staff were most helpful and friendly & tables clean. They don’t take tips here but encourage you to donate to the charity running this cafe ( and the community supermarket in Hall road amongst many others … see their web site ) we did donate our tip … it’s easy! Will try and make breakfast next time !! Ps can you believe parking is still free !!!!

This place was a last min decision, and it proved to be a good one! i went with a female friend so the atmosphere was just right for the company! x

I never normally write reviews but the Seoul burger with loaded fries is banging!! 2nd time ordering now, it's now one of my favourite places to eat
