Restaurants near St John the Baptist Cathedral

It’s been a while since we’ve had an Assembly House afternoon tea and had forgotten quite how good they are compared to others available. We were warmly greeted at restaurant reception and quickly shown to our table. After a suitable time gap our drinks request was taken by a friendly and efficient staff member, our pots of tea soon arriving. Our multi tiered tea stand then arrived with an explanation of all the delights thereon, with a request to just ask when we were ready for our scones and/or wanted our second pot of tea. Every tier was a delight as were the scones. Several other tables opted for the ‘doggie box’ but I’m afraid we scoffed the lot. We have a Norfolk Passport card so we’re entitled to a 10% discount. A lovely ‘afternoon out’, delightful food in a charming setting with very pleasant staff. Thank you.

Excellent food and service, thoroughly enjoyed our lunch there!!

We were a party of 6 and this was our first time at The Ivy and it certainly didn’t disappoint! The service was from start to finish was excellent and the staff were so welcoming and friendly. The food was delicious and we especially loved the festive snowman dessert! There is so much attention to detail at The Ivy especially with the festivities. We had the best evening and will definitely be returning!

Never had a raclette in UK before - great idea and very well delivered. Everything was delicious and arrived promptly. Loads of gorgeous cheese, plus roasted veg, bread, charcuterie, pickles etc, washed down with creative cocktails. Great that there’s a vegetarian and a vegan option. Tart for pud was good too. Price seemed very reasonable for such a substantial meal. Looking forward to the next chef in the New Year already!

Excellent service despite it being busy.Fab food.Very busy with lots of Christmas parties but still quick service.
