We had a gorgeous Sunday roast trying the pork and chicken - excellent food, amazing service, very, very loud.
Food - The food was excellent, I've had a great many roasts in my time and this was one of the best, as you can see in the video the pork pulled apart with a fork and it was so juicy, the chicken came as a supreme and was very generous, the only thing worth mentioning as a negative is there was such a variety of veg that the portions of each felt mean (that's subjective and barely worth mentioning)
Service - Fantastic all the way, ordering is split between food and drinks, food is ordered at the table and drinks are ordered at the bar. The server took our order really quick and the food came out very fast. They were attentive but not intrusive, A+. Drink service was swift and professional, we had soft drinks and after I had ordered they were brought straight to the table, again, this was swift. A service charge is added to the bill.
Atmosphere - The bar itself is aesthetically pleasing with a reclaimed, hipsterish vibe. It's a massive open space with the bar in the centre and this is where the issues begin. It's loud, aggressively loud, I couldn't hear my partner or the staff at all and given the complete lack of soft furnishings every sound echoes around and around. As someone with sensory issues I struggled. The seating and tables are mismatched which is cute but I barely managed to get my legs under the table as the seats were too tall, the tables are also packed in close and I spent half my meal with my back touching the person behind me. There is a soft seating area at the back of the bar which I didn't see until I had already eaten, it's a much quieter and more comfortable area and I really wish I had seen it earlier. To be clear it's pretty and if you're into the whole community eating, cacophony thing, it's a good atmosphere.
Accessibility - Poor, it's very tight, you won't get a wheelchair through it, it's loud so bad for people with sensory issues, there's no parking lot so you take your chances on the very tight streets outside and you'll struggle to order drinks as there are tables surrounding the bar.
After hearing about the roast dinners at The Rosebery it was time to book in and I was not disappointed.
The service and food were perfect and the kids portion was a good size to keep the little one busy. Plenty of choice with different meats, veggie options as well. The wine list is excellent and a couple of glasses of fizz were had!
I will definitely be booking again.
Finally get a booking at this NR3 gem. The pork belly sunday roast warls impeccable. Lovely scratching and plentiful portion. The atmosphere was lovely. We booked at 3. Sadly, we had to leave by 5, right to enjoy a lovely sunset outside
One minor point - it was VERY cold outside when we came for lunch (which was lovely) - a little tip - maybe pu a heaver curtain up on the doors in Winter, try and keep the heat in a bit. Lovely time had though, mulled cider was lovely, as was the foor and service. Will def come back qhen i'm in town.
We had the famous Rosebery roast (by Blue's Kitchen) and it really is the best roast I've had in Norwich by far. We were the last plates to be served so they also gave us all the meat that was left. We got beef, pork, and chicken and the beef was my favourite. The vegetables were also delicious and complemented the meats well. I particularly like the sweetness of the carrots. Would recommend for anyone wanting a good roast!
Rosebery is a lovely pub in the heart of NR3, with plenty of outdoor seating as well as lovely indoor space with nice high ceilings and welcoming decor. Staff are all super friendly and attentive. Blues kitchen do the food separately to the pub. But it is INCREDIBLE. I've never been disappointed and the every dish I've had has been a taste sensation. Their Sunday roasts I think is the best in Norwich (there you go I've said it) and can not wait to go back.
Stayed here for 2 nights when working away. Really nice B&B with free parking. The car park is a little difficult to park in when it's full but not terrible.
The B&B itself is lovely. It has its own entrance so you don't go through the pub. The room was good, with a coffee machine and pods. Really clean and spacious bathroom too. Also has a fan, iron and ironing board, and a hair dryer, which was much appreciated.
The breakfast is continental and in a mini fridge in the room. This suited us nicely. Even though its a pub, it's only noisy til around 11pm and then nice and quiet. Would definitely stay here again.
We also ate in the pub and grabbed a beer. Very very nice food. I had the buttermilk chicken burger and it was the most moist tasty chicken burger I think I have ever had! Unfortunately was too fill for dessert, will try for that next time!
I had a roast and I can say easily I was very happy with it! Great portion, and really tasty. I got the added side of rosemary hashbrowns which I would happily go there just for those 😂 10/10. The cocktail was also great. Thank you!
Really loved it. Will definitely eat there again
As always, my partner and I are on the look out for tasty vegan eats. We've walked past a fair few times but never had the time to visit so we made a special effort as we'd looked at the menu and were excited by the vegan options. The service was super quick and all the staff were very friendly and attentive.
The food was great! The hummus was smooth and rich and the chips were topped with a delicious satay sauce. The stand out with the panko bread crumb Oyster mushrooms. Damn it, they were good. They were nicely cooked and had a sweet, spicy and tangy sauce poured on top.
All in all, it was a really nice experience and based on the quality of the vegan options, they are obviously capable of much more so I hope for even more vegan options soon!
