"The fantastic tasting and great value pizzas, along with the great selection of beers save The Norbiton from a poor review from me. I come to The Norbiton quite frequently because it serves a purpose as a great place to have good beer and really good value (and delicious) pizzas. Not that I tend to go for this, but I do like the fact it’s so on top of the sports calendar for those that want to come for that. Due to its position and the fact it is undoubtedly quite popular for the reasons I mention above, the atmosphere is generally quite good too. My main bugbear with The Norbiton, and similar pubs like it which offer a contemporary pub aesthetic and encompass an emphasis on ‘craft beer’, is that the staff service and engagement with its customers is actually really poor in comparison to those that make an effort with their customers. For some reason, places that align themselves with this aesthetic almost seem as though they’re ‘too cool’ to engage as you might expect from any other hospitality environment, serving customers as though they’d just woken from a deep sleep or as though they’re simply not that interested in serving you. It has to be said there are some friendly members of staff that smile, say hello, and generally engage like you might expect, but they are in the minority. I only labour this point because The Norbiton has a great formula other than the reception it’s customers get, and it’s the element that doesn’t cost anything that lets it down for me."

"It was 2:35pm and service had closed at most other places. We had low expectations in fact, and food would be a positive. With a young family incredibly hungry after swimming, we just needed a friendly face, somewhere to sit and the promise of food fairly reliable. This place did that and more. George gave us with a friendly and professional welcome, explaining the layout clearly and although it could be up to 45min wait for food, the atmosphere was very welcoming and we had the choice of a booth or a place under the tipi near the fire pit. Something for everyone. The fact we could go to the bar and order drinks ourselves instead of waiting for table service meant we were in control of the first part of our experience. This helped with hungry/thirsty kids. Then, we had the option of ordering via the bar or a QR code on the table and the menu clearly stated a section where bits and bobs would come slightly before anything else-again-very helpful for a hungry family. The booths had their own two-tier overhead heating lamps which enabled us to keep warm safely, and contain our children with ease. Our bread starters came fairly rapidly and that brought a smile all round. We didn’t mind a bit of wait on our pizzas because that had been communicated to us from the get-go, and when they did arrive they were delicious. Thank you for a positive experience with professional and helpful staff. Will recommend to others visiting the area."
