"I had high hopes for Sunday lunch at the Britons Arms after reading so many 5 star reviews. What a disappointment. Yes, the building is a historic one but the interior is not charming. Furniture was cheap and basic, tables were sticky. All this could be forgiven if the food was good but it was really awful. My fish pie was watery and inedible, and I couldn't eat more than two mouthfuls. My companion's beef roast was a horrid school dinner style mess. Piled high, yes, but dreadful quality, overcooked beef and roast potatoes that looked and tasted like they'd been cooked days before. On the plus side the service was good the younger waitress who served us was friendly and capable and apologetic when I said I didn't like my meal. In hindsight I really should have complained more forcefully and not paid but hey, we're British and tend to shy away from complaining in restaurants! There are so many cafes and pubs in Norwich so do yourselves a favour and steer well clear of this one. Oh and there was no loo roll in either of the toilets!"

Some of the best lamb I have ever tasted, in a wonderful location and accompanied by a great selection of wines. The menu looked like one where you couldn’t put a foot wrong.

Such a treat of a place! The Britons Arms is defined by attention to detail; everything was excellent, from the mains, the sides, the salads, toasties, and desserts, down to the playlist playing in the background! Brilliant staff too :

My fiancé and I went here for his birthday dinner. This was a great place to go to it had delicious English food with fresh herbs and a great flavour. My fiancé said the lamb was the best he'd had in years. I am a vegan, and my food was great too. The wine selection was great, with local and international wines on offer. The place is on a really beautiful street in Norwich, so you get a lovely view.

I was hoping for a good meal here as I had been before (which was nice) but sadly not. I had the Lamb 'stew ' which wasn 't a stew at all. The dumpling was flavourless and cold in the middle (I 'm thinking frozen) and the Lamb was also just about tepid in the middle. The mix of different beans had what seemed like vast amounts of chutney in so that was all you could taste and made it very acidic. There was no overall decent flavours in the meal whatsoever, I had to add a fair bit of salt just to get some taste. My girlfriend had the mushroom soup, which came with a cheese toastie. The soup tasted like water with a very slight hint of mushroom and really did not taste good at all. Overall, ve...
