The Marsham Arms Coaching Inn - Norwich

We called in for a spot of lunch. Wow the best Venison pie we have ever had. Excellent flavour beautiful pie crust and the veggies cooked perfectly.

My family have been coming here for years for special occasions, but I am guessing that the chef has changed, as has the menu. They used to do a brilliant pork belly with crackling and black pudding, but this appears to have been changed. So we had a roast instead. I chose roast beef and although very tasty, was not pink as promised, and also there was not one piece of greenery on the plate, just lots of beige and a few carrot batons. The gravy was too thick and not up to the usual standard. The dessert list was also not very inspiring and nothing chocolate at all. The staff are great and very helpful, but the menu needs to be adapted. There is plenty of fresh green produce at the moment like green beans, if not cabbage.

This place might be nice if the food was cooked. The cabbage was not cooked and very crunchy to eat. The carrots were the same not great. The turkey had no taste to it at all. After arriving with two freinds we then had to wait a further 20 minutes to sit down to order a carvery. On going to the counter they had ran out of turkey for the ladys we were with and they had to then wait a further six minutes while we started to eat our food. After asking to have a couple of drinks knocked off the bill the girl who was serving was lost and decided to lie and say i had bullied her well sorry the only person who was doing that was Bradley mr i am so he thought. The other man perfect gentleman would never go back.

We dropped in for mid-week lunch on the off-chance, not having booked. The welcome was very warm and we were showed to a table without delay. The menu options were not hugely extensive, but there is something for everyone. My wife had scampi and I had the lasagne. Being reasonably quiet, our food was delivered without undue delay. Both dishes were well presented and delicious, especially the dressing on my side salad. The staff were very pleasant, attending to our needs immediately. The overall cost of the meal was not unreasonable and we would wholeheartedly recommend a visit.

Such warm friendly and welcoming staff, Sunday roast was exceptional, pork fantastic, highly recommended
