A quirky 1650 riverside pub in Norwich with lovely water views, outdoor seating, high chairs and a kids' menu — food can be hit and miss.

Pub · Norwich
A river view and a proper carvery are the draw here, and the carvery is genuinely good — juicy beef or turkey, crisp-outside, fluffy-inside roast potatoes done with paprika and rosemary, plenty of veg and thick gravy, around £15 and big enough that nobody leaves hungry. Go earlier in the day if the carvery matters, as choices thin out by evening. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, buggy access and free parking, though spaces right outside go quickly. Outdoor seating makes the most of the river on a decent day, and it's a good spot to let restless children have a wriggle. Food comes out fast and the team are cheerful and unhurried with families. Worth knowing: the decor is tired and due a refresh — one parent says the food and service more than make up for it.

A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
