About Horse And Groom
Horse And Groom is a pub on Market Street in Norwich, set up with a pool table and a fireplace and open to dogs. The bar pours hand-pulled beers alongside local beers. Planned events include quiz nights, and live music runs on some nights, so there is a reason to visit beyond a drink. The kitchen cooks a Sunday roast, and duck bonbons come out as a starter. For something sweet, it serves a chocolate brownie. Daytime visitors can also order cake with coffee, including a honey cake.

Customer Review Summary
Friendly staff come up most often in reviews of this village pub, which reopened under new management and has locals glad to see it back. Diners single out the Sunday roast and the chocolate brownie, one calling the brownie to die for. One reviewer also calls the duck bonbons a winner among starters that included smoked salmon, with cod loin and chicken for mains. The hand pulled and local beers are described as good quality and on top form. Live music, quiz nights, a pool table and a fire place add to what reviewers call a proper British pub atmosphere. The food draws the only criticism. One reviewer found the broccoli overdone with the chicken and felt the brownie needed a little more, though the cheese board was large and filling. Two others visited before the kitchen had reopened. One reviewer describes the landlord going above and beyond to host a large group of kids and adults for the World Cup final.
