Restaurant · Norwich
Sitting a short walk from the castle, this is a big, bright grill place with clean lines and an open kitchen the children can watch, and it handles a family table well — high chairs, a kids' menu, room to get a pram in once you're through the door, and food that arrives quickly rather than leaving anyone to unravel over an empty plate. The staff get consistent praise for being warm and attentive even when things go wrong behind the scenes. Steaks are the draw, the tomahawk especially, and the gammon grill is a genuinely filling plateful for the money; sticky toffee pudding with plenty of sauce is worth saving room for. Two honest snags: there are steps at the entrance, and an 11% service charge lands on the bill.
