Arrived starving having been up since 2am and with nothing to eat except some airline nuts. Had some kind of chilli prawns as a starter. Chilli sauce was hot it was very synthetic.Chicken burger (recommended by my excellent server Alysha) was spot on. Just what I needed. She was very good in checking that everything was ok but not in that "I'm going to come and have a long chat whilst you trying eat your dinner"type way.Was empty so not much atmosphere but staff were friendly and helpful.Go there!

This was a first visit despite living only 3 miles away. On the strength of the reviews we decided to celebrate a family birthday here and I therefore emailed requesting a table. I received a confirmatory email very speedily and asking that we kindly pre-order starters and mains due to the size of the party. As certain members of our party wished for the pie of the day I emailed and asked what type of pie it was likely to be and the response was that perhaps we would like to state our preference and the chef would oblige. He or she did and it was absolutely delicious, as were all the other meals. The staff were extremely friendly and efficient . We will be back!

Reviewed By Emily E

The service was great, the pub was busy and catered to all without a hitch, it was cosy without feeling overcrowded, and the food was fantastic. It was probably the best roast dinner I've had whilst eating out. I'm usually let down by one aspect or more whilst having a restaurant roast, but every bit of the plate was fantastic. The veggies were cooked well and in season, the roast potatoes were fluffy, of a good size, and had a crisp on the outside. Plus the flavour was delicious. The chicken was perfect. It's hard to get chicken right - I'm particularly fussy about it - but there was a lovely chargrill on the skin, and it was seasoned wonderfully. The meat was juicy, but didn't fall apart. The big Yorkshire on top was crispy and satisfying, and the gravy topped it off. I followed it with a hot chocolate brownie with ice cream. Simple and classic, but very tasty and rich.All in all, you might pay a bit more than elsewhere, but you get the best roast in Norwich.Will be coming again very soon!

Reviewed By Andrew H

Having read all the glowing reviews we recently ate at The Buck. The pub is lovely, the staff kind and attentive but the food was distinctly average. We have eaten better pork ,better burgers, been served better house wine for similar prices within the area. We were disappointed at the very average offerings and will not return.I guess after many great reviews you can set yourself up for a fall? As other review testify on the whole people love the food and it's the first time in 5 years I have had someone mention our house wines. Love to know what you drank. It is of course horses for courses but I stand by our food and drinks offering and hundreds of happy customers agree. You are of course entitled to your own view. Maybe one day give us another go, I bet I can change your mind. Thanks for taking the time to write.

Reviewed By Snowleopards89

First visit and really enjoyed the world tapas. Perfect food to have in the pub with a pint. As well as the normal menu, there were specials on a little blackboard. In particular we liked the falafel, patatas bravas and the tempura prawns and veggies. Between 4 of us we had 12 tapas and olives. Really impressed with the selection, all food was fresh and piping hot. Reasonably priced and would return. Thanks for your review. We love the tapas too. We cook it all to order to ensure its fresh and hot which means lots of prep by our lovely chefs. Hope to see you again soon

I had booked this venue a while in advance as they have the back room which can be used for larger gatherings.For ease all the guests had chosen their starters and mains with the exception of the birthday boy. They couldn't have been more helpful from the getgo with menus sent through, orders confirmed, special children's choices.I had been to the venue earlier in the day to decorate the room, which unfortunately was in use, however by the time my daughter attended early to decorate the tables and the room were ready for us to surprise my partner. The staff were welcoming, very friendly and attentive and made sure everything was perfect throughout the evening. We weren't rushed out and in fact were there fairly late, they arranged the bills into individual groups which was a blessing for payments at the end. My partner and our family and friends had a wonderful night celebrating his 60th.Thank you to the team for a wonderful night. Well worth a visit as highly recommended for either a lunch or evening meal in couples or in parties great choices, great value.
