  “So pleased with my visit with my friend here. I have a dairy intolerance, and was so pleasantly surprised to get a menu dairy free with such a large choice. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the meal was so good and reasonably priced. Loved it, will definitely come again. Thank you.”

  “Very scenic, however service is non existent and the food we had was awful. Mixed grill the gamon & beef were very chewy, no flavour. The other order of our table was a steak which was fairly pink but that was ok, however it was so chewy like rubber. Such a shame as it’s a very nice place with great scenery. Wouldn’t bother for food but drinks definately. Seems the food quality has gone very downhill”

  “Food was a huge let down, Started with Garlic Mushrooms..... Arrived as 1 Mushroom, on dry toast with a splash of garlic sauce Mains.... Seafood Mixed Grill... Grilled to death, salmon was white, prawns were dry and crumbling, they even managed to burn the peas? How? I had the mixed grill, Again dry chicken, chewy steak, lump of gammon from a joint, not a gammon steak, the sausage and chips were ok though. £10+ for a double JD and coke, nearly paid for bottle there, £7 for my pint. The staff, when they were there, were pleasant and chatty, ended up ordering at the bar though, as we were waiting so long at the table. The overall atmosphere was nice, had a table by a window so we could at least see out to the river”

  “We recently visited The Rushcutters in Norwich for a family lunch to celebrate a relative's 60th birthday, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The riverside location provides a lovely setting, and the food was excellent. There were five of us in the party, although one person wasn't hungry and chose not to eat. The rest of us ordered main courses, all of which were well-cooked, flavourful, and beautifully presented. Our meals included a chicken and bacon sandwich with skin-on fries, two fishcakes served with vegetables, and a pan-fried chicken breast with vegetables and a delicious carrot and red pepper sauce. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals. We couldn't resist trying the desserts, and they certainly didn't disappoint. The sticky toffee pudding with custard was rich, filling, and served in a cast-iron skillet pan – something I had never seen before, even as a former hotel manager. The mini puddings with hot drinks were also excellent value. Two of our party chose the mini tiramisu, which was cleverly served in a coffee cup, while another had the mini Bakewell pudding, which was so generous they couldn't quite finish it! The total bill came to just £75 for four meals, desserts, drinks, and the non-dining member of our party, thanks to vouchers from the Greene King app. Outstanding value for money. Overall, a fantastic meal in a beautiful riverside setting with friendly service, delicious food, and great value. We will definitely be returning and would highly recommend The Rushcutters to anyone visiting Norwich.”

  “It's a very nice location on the river, and it's a lovely building. The staff are warm and friendly, with for the most part good service. However they did completely forget a hot chocolate that I ordered, when it was quite quiet too, and in the end we had to ask about it, and remind them. The prices appear to have become extortionate since my last visit, with a pint of beer and a pint of Coke costing £16 and something pence !”

  “This is our eatery of choice when we are staying locally. We have visited twice this week, once on Sunday 26.04.2026 are earlier today, Wednesday 29th. The Sunday lunches were excellent quality as was the fish and chips and the steak and ale pie we had today. The servers (Evie and Phoebe) on Sunday are the ladies today were attentive and polite. Never grow tired of visiting with the next planned for October. Cannot recommend highly enough.”

  “First visit and it won't be the last, what a lovely place, I love the interior, beautiful location, the food was very tasty and well presented, the staff were excellent and couldn't do enough for us, it did get really busy and at one time no available tables, 3 menus to choose from, daily, specials and a daily special so plenty to choose from”

  “Hands down the best Sunday roast I have had. Absolutely amazing experience, everything from food, atmosphere and service. The food was incredible. I got the beef rib and side of honey and mustard chipolatas (6 of them came). Everything was incredible. Generous portions, high quality ingredients and really good value for money. The food quality is unmatched. The beef was cooked so well, it was moist, tender and melt in the mouth. Came with all the trimmings and lovely horseradish sauce on the side. Got four roast potatoes, good helping of veg, stuffing, yorkie ect. For desserts, we got a sticky toffee pudding which was so moist, super light and fluffy. The triple chocolate brownie was so so good. Best brownie from a restaurant. Really chocolatey and rich. The clotted cream ice cream was also so smooth and paired really well. Lovely location and convenient parking. We went on Sunday at midday, they seated us tucked away in a private corner which I really appreciated. The timing and attentiveness was perfect. The staff were all very lovely. Would highly highly recommend!”

  “Really lovely restaurant, we visited at 1pm today (Monday) it was quite busy with plenty of bookings. The festive menu is really great, I had the confit duck leg, which was cooked incredibly and tasted so good. We also ordered pigs in blankets and roast potatoes as a side. Our deserts were really tasty too. I had the chocolate fondant with white chocolate icecream, my husband had the triple chocolate brownie with vanilla icecream. Carolyn was really lovely during our meal, she was really friendly and attentive too. The Rushcuttwrs is a really lovely restaurant in a beautiful area.”
