Pub · Norwich
Reopened after years shut and given a proper refurbishment, this is a traditional Norwich pub that's come back warm and lived-in rather than stiff — good for a family lunch without anyone feeling out of place. There's a large free car park, buggy access, high chairs and a kids' menu, plus a new patio out back for when the weather behaves. Sunday roasts are the draw: tender beef with well-flavoured gravy, juicy chicken, and a venison pie with generous trimmings that people talk about. Food generally arrives fast — one table had theirs inside 20 minutes — though clearing plates and bringing the bill can lag once it's busy. Worth knowing: prices sit at the upper end for a pub (£7.50 for three scoops of ice cream raised eyebrows), and Sundays get busy enough that booking is sensible.
