Quick info
About The Norbiton
The Norbiton is a pizza-focused pub in Kingston Upon Thames, set in a corner building on Clifton Rd with high ceilings and a fairy-lit ceiling. Pizza is the main food, built on a Romana base with a range of toppings, and a grazing platter and hot snacks sit alongside it. The bar pours beers on tap with a wide choice. Sport shows on three screens, one large and two small. A function room and a large garden at the back give groups space for private parties, and the pub has hosted birthdays, a christening and a leaving party. It sits a short walk from Norbiton overground station.

Customer Review Summary
Pizza is what reviewers raise most at The Norbiton, described as fresh, with a crispy base, generous toppings and an interesting range, and one guest party noted how many attendees commented on its quality. Close behind is the beer, with loads of choice on tap, from craft options to a classic pint. Several also mention a grazing platter and hot snacks, and the garden, which one reviewer calls shaded and recently renovated. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and accommodating, especially for group events, with reviewers describing a 30th birthday, a Golden Wedding, a christening party and a leaving party. One reviewer praises the fairy lit ceiling in party photos. The main criticism comes from one reviewer who found the Romana pizza base uninspiring, a pint carelessly poured in a glass left wet then sticky, and only one speaker source for the sports screens. Another reviewer, by contrast, calls the value very good and enjoyed watching sports, and one guest party noted drinks were thoroughly chilled with plenty of water on a hot afternoon.

“A very cosy pub with a pleasant ambience both indoors and in the garden, with sufficient space. Very attentive and friendly staff no matrer how large the group. Good opportunity to watch sports if desired. The pizzas and hot snacks are very good quality. Very good value for money. Located in an "interior" street in a residential area so no traffic noise.”

“The most delicious pizza! So fresh and with a really interesting range of toppings. Staff always really friendly and welcoming. Brilliant beer garden with plenty of shade, recently renovated. Loads of choice of beers on tap. Spacious baby changing facilities.”

“We came to The Norbiton for an afternoon party to celebrate our Golden Wedding with friends and family. We really couldn’t fault the service, food or atmosphere. The staff were more than helpful and many of our guests commented on the quality of the pizza. The grazing platter was an excellent addition.The drinks were all thoroughly chilled and there was plenty of water to drink as well- very welcome on a hot afternoon.It was a very relaxing way to give a party.”

“One of the better pizza l have had amongst the many places eaten at. Good layout on seating facilities.”

“Pizza was OK - well sauced, decent toppings but uninspiring ‘Romana’ base that can do with inspiration from the pizza tonda from Rome rather than Pizza Express. Pub was OK - acceptable range of beers but my pint was carelessly poured and glass left wet then sticky. Vibes were OK - 1 big screen and 2 small screens for sports, but only 1 speaker source so not great for splitting programmes.”
