Spent my birthday at The Wallow with all my friends and family we all had the best time!! There was about 25 of us so they had closed the first floor so we had the whole area to ourselves. The wine was fabulous and the food was soooo good. The staff are so friendly and really helpful. I will 100% be returning soon and i would highly recommend this place to everyone! Massive thank you to the staff for everything!
Favourite place in the world. Service is the best and love being in there whenever we get the chance. Fire and sofas awesome in the winter. Fantastic wine selection. Alice & Matt are legends. Could not recommend anymore!
Been here on a couple of occasions now and think it's my favourite place to go in Norwich! Chilled atmosphere, great service, amazing food and of course, the best selection of wine!
Such a grown up, chilled out place - I always love it here. Whether a cozy date night or a laugh with the girls, this place is just perfect. Especially if you go on Wednesday when it’s 25% off all wines (before 9pm though, we got caught out by the cut off time!). A great choice of wines and it’s a brilliant idea to have taster sizes meaning you can try lots of different wines without committing to a full glass. Prices are reasonable and the service is just fantastic - laid back but attentive.
Decor is simple but comfortable and it’s a great place to people watch too!
Tasty deli counter offers nibbles to snack on to soak up the wine, heaven!
Love this place and look forward to returning soon.
Amazing service, great food and absolutely love the bubbles and wine on tap!!! Highly recommend this place!
One of Norwich's best independent restaurants. The staff are always friendly and helpful. Whilst the wine and food is affordable and delicious. And who wouldn't love the novelty factor of "vending machine wine"!
Great place if you fancy nice wines with delicatessen foods. Spoke to the owner whilst we were there, she was so friendly and explained how the self service wines worked, she also made us a fantastic board of cheeses, meats, salad, chutneys, olives you name it, it was on it, all so fresh and tasty. Great place to meet up with friends x
Loved this place, very relaxing and a great place to chill after a difficult day.
My brother introduced me to this place after the Norwich beer festival and I just loved it. The place is so unique, a great place for friends to meet or for couples to go to be romantic. I've been during the day, tea time and evening and the ambiance is great. I like the idea of putting money on a card and choosing your own wine from a plentiful choice. No queuing or waiting at a bar. Took my friend last night and she loved it, prices are reasonable and the candles just set the tone. Staff are brilliant and helpful, nothing is too much trouble. I will definitely return again and again. ❤️
Fantastic afternoon. Wines little more expensive than other places but worth it for the surroundings. Very attentive staff, on hand to assist where needed. Will be back for sure 👌🏼👍🏼🥂🍷
Me and friends came to the wallow you celebrate my birthday xx we had a great time trying new wines and eating lots of cheese. The staff really looked after us xx great service great music great people great places xxxx can't wait to go again xxxxx
Went for lunch today with wife great food and drink and waitress when out of her way to look after us as she has before all staff r very good
Lovely experience last night. Excellent food and service, the wine in the machines was top notch. Really good fun and I will definitely be coming back
Good food, mighty fine tunes & a novel way with the wine, love this place �🍽�
Love love love it! Went in the first time this week, I’d never heard of it but it came up on Google maps as a bar near the restaurant me and my partner were eating at. From the moment we entered the staff were lovely. The bar is comfortable but stylishly decorated with two floors of seating. Ofc the interesting concept of the restaurant is the self service aspect where you can add money onto a card and fill up your own glasses from a selection of wine in their machines. But if you’re not ready off that kind of commitment (which we weren’t) they have a wonderful selection of wines from the bar which are reasonably priced. They also offer food which we didn’t try but a nice touch.
First time visiting. We had an amazing evening. Couldn’t fault a thing. The staff, in particular Dillan and Lona were very friendly and helpful. Would and have highly recommended
Went with my friend and we had never been before, as soon as you walk in the decor and details hit you with WOW.
Laura was our server and was so helpful. She showed us how to use the card for the wine and gave us tips on what to try. She clearly knows her stuff. It seemed to run smoothly as there were 3 floors, 3 sections for servers to attend so people wouldn't be forgotten. We were always checked on, and when we got out Wallow board with extra bits...we had the best time. The food was amazing. The smoked salmon was the best I'd ever had,the mushroom paté was creamy and flavourful. The only thing I'd say was the salad wasn't needed 😅 cheese, wine and meat, and I'm set.
Excellent platter( wallow board)a good variety of meats, cheeses, side dishes with crackers. Tables are rustic but for those of us with longer legs they are a little uncomfortable. Staff were all great, friendly and knowledgeable.
A perfect lunch with my wife and our dog! The chap that greeted us was epic, giving a great explanation of the great wine setup (pay as you go card and vending machines, with some wonderful and interesting options from small vineyards). We had the recommended Wallow Board for 2 and loved it all. Highly recommend the crab terrine too, separate order. High five Wallow!
The Wallow hosted my daughter's evening wedding reception. In short, everything was perfect.
Friendly staff who worked so hard to make sure the event was perfect. And it was. Thank you to you all 🙏💖
Had such an amazing time at The Wallow for my birthday tonight! My partner and I were greeted by Kyla on the door who talked us through the dining process and asked our wine preferences, before proceeding to provide recommendations based on what we’d given and offering her own favourites for us to consider which was lovely!
Nadine served us and was absolutely brilliant, made sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves for every step of our dinner and had some lovely friendly chat with myself and my partner, and took some great pictures to commemorate the night as well!
Got given a free glass of champagne to top it all off! Amazing venue with brilliant staff and a gorgeous selection of food and wines, 10/10 will be back again! 💃🏼
We stopped and chilled here on a wet afternoon.
Rather than have the multiple wine option we had the one bottle.
We really enjoyed the experience and, probably next time will go for the multiple wine option.
We didn’t eat, but we saw the food served to the people on the next table, and it looked delicious, they didn’t leave a crumb!!
Definitely worth a visit, it’s a lovely place to sit, relax, chat and chill.
A unique idea for a self service wine bar. Lovely warm and welcoming atmosphere and super friendly, helpful staff. To get wine, you are given a card when you arrive which you top up with money (note this is non-refundable but the card stays valid for a year). You go up to the machine, place card in slot at top, grab a glass to place under the spout and then press and hold your selection until it fills your glass.
The food was incredible too and great value as you get so much for your money.
A great place to go and I will definitely be back
Amazing food, atmosphere, service, and, of course, wines. Only thing I can fault is the bread, there was a few kinds that all tasted the same and didn’t seem fresh- don’t know why you wouldn’t use one of the many lovely bakeries in the area.
