  “Very polite and helpful staff. Food was okay, lacked seasoning and spice but over would dine here again. They have an excellent beer tap selection.”

  “I recently visited The Whiffler because of positive experiences I had there in the recent past. On previous visits, I had always received my meal promptly, so with less than an hour available before a rescheduled meeting, I was confident I could order, eat, and still arrive at my destination with time to spare. Unfortunately, this visit was very disappointing. After waiting more than twenty minutes with no sign of my meal, I approached the bar to enquire about the delay. A senior member of staff informed me that food orders were running approximately twenty minutes behind and that I should have been told this before placing my order. However, I had not been made aware of any delay when ordering. I decided to wait a little longer, only to discover that the waiting time had increased to over thirty minutes. As I was unable to wait that long for what was a traditional English breakfast, I accepted the offer of a refund. While I appreciated the sincere apology from the staff and the prompt processing of the refund, I was nevertheless disappointed with the overall service. Had I been informed of the 30-plus-minute wait before ordering, I would have made alternative arrangements rather than placing my order and waiting unnecessarily. Clear communication about significant delays is essential, particularly for customers who may be dining within a limited timeframe. Regrettably, this experience fell well below the standard I had come to expect from previous visits 😞”

  “Ordered this morning and sat with a very small service dog near to busy road away from pub and people then was informed that we should not have been served and we had to leave. after service was refused due to the dog not having its book with it. And refused a refund. Terrible service and rules. Other branches of this pub have been accommodating in the past shame this one has to be different”

  “Had all day breakfast. Chips obviously refried. Eggs like rubber and bacon was obviously cooked ages ago and pulled out from the bottom of the Bain Marie . I won’t be using it again.”

  “Excellent spoons. We were on a business trip to Norwich. Had to visit all 3 spoons. This one was on our way home. Grabbed an nice Sunday brekkie. Table nearby were listening to their mob full blast loud and the staff where on it in seconds. Politely asked offenders to desist. Amd they did !! Nice people in this area. 😍. Food was good typical spoons. Carpet not very special. Historical artwork framed on walls. Not a lot of parking on busy times. Generally Excellent spoons 🥳”

  “Today we had an extremely disappointing and unacceptable experience with the blonde, glasses-wearing duty manager. Her behaviour was shocking. She was arrogant, condescending and aggressive from the start. She even forgot to give us the proper glasses for our refills. When I asked for help, she spoke to me while eating, with vegetables literally hanging out of her mouth. She banged on the table, raised her voice, and even spoke aggressively to my children – something no staff member should ever do. She also gave us wrong information, in a way that felt discriminatory and racist, which made us feel completely unwelcome. We left feeling extremely disappointed by the service and the way we were treated. Absolutely unacceptable experience.”

  “This was a great pub for drinking, with pretty lights from the ceiling! The statue by the wall is a neat addition and counter is well-presented, spanning a long length too. I had a pint of Stowford Press, appreciating the cleanliness and atmosphere was good.”

  “Very happy really. Recommend to us as a cheap and cheerful place to eat and that's what we got. Portions appeared to be quite small, but we were all 4 (2 kids 2 adults) fed well enough for about 30 odd quid. Hamburger didn't really taste of that much, chips were perfect, which is a win in my books, staff were all friendly and efficient. Pepsi max tasted like it came out via an old hosepipe, but then I've never liked pepsi lol. Location isn't exactly glamorous being on the ring road but that made it pretty easy to get to. There was just enough parking so that was nice. Clean toilets. I quite liked the decor with old maps of Norwich in. Not sure I'd make a bee line up here again, but pleased with the general Spoon's vibe if we need grub up the city again”

  “Quite impressed with the rear garden, but not the frontage. I had the heathy fiesta brunch for breakfast with unlimited hot drinks for around a fiver. Plenty of room inside with a large open plan and small private hideaways. Some interesting descriptions of the history of Norwich on the walls.”

  “This Wetherspoon is located at NR6 near Boundary Road. The restaurant offers around 20 car parking area for a maximum stay of 3 hours, where not many other branches can offer. Food is fresh and tasteful when compared with other locations. Customers are seldom waiting for long time to have food serve on table. Comfortable seating area both inside and outside. Highly recommended to try.”
