Garden House Banham Banham Road, Banham, Norwich NR16 2BY

"Was not impressed looks more like a 1960s truck stop. Mixed grill chicken was raw, cauliflower and brie soup was more brie than cauliflower it was so thick I could have laid bricks with it. We asked for 2 cappuccinos it came out lumpy, milk was off. No atmosphere in this place whatsoever unless you are local watching rugby or playing pool"

"A friendly local pub that serves hearty food and a warm welcome. I think it has recently been taken over and the pub and restaurant have been given separate areas in a refurb The bar area has what sounded like local tradesmen having a friendly pint after doing a morning’s work. The restaurant is more pukka, with families and couples enjoying their lunch. I am mid bike ride from Cambridge to Norwich and arrived cold and hungry. I’m glad I found this place, I am now parked by the fire and am no longer wondering whether I have toes. The landlady saw me shivering and loaded it up with a big pile of wood. I had a steak pie with mash. It was much much better than I was expecting, the suet pastry was near perfect, well flavoured meat and perfectly cooked veg. Even the mash was tip top! The outside area looks like it’ll be good in summer but honestly I was seeking the fire as soon as I saw the smoke!"

"Such a great pub. Recommended by friends and did not disappoint! Fantastic young staff, friendly locals, good beer selection and top notch food cannot fault it. The pub has character and a cool atmosphere. 10/10."

"We had booked for a Saturday evening last month as part of 100th Birthday Celebrations for our Mum. Family all enjoyed the great range of authentic American food. Portions are huge, you do need to come hungry. Place has real character, lots of film and pop memorabilia. Service is friendly. Food cooked to order but worth any wait. You know this is not part of corporate chain, prices even in these times are great value. If you enjoy hearty, American themed food cooked by chef who has real passion and pride in what they do, you will not be disappointed. Thank you again to all who made our meal so special."

"Visit was at the start of June 2021. We arrived here on the basis of other reviews. It was still showing more of a pub menu. On arrival, the pub has an American theme and a nice member of staff checked with the Chef to see if they could fit us in, due to another booking in an hour after our arrival. We were given the go ahead, drinks ordered and seat taken. Nice amount of choice. Order taken, and our food did not arrive for over an hour. There was only one other table in of 6. There were 4 of us. The food was not pleasant. The burger was as if it was cooked then deep fried. The burrito was so salty I was unable to eat it. During our meal my husband left to use the toilet, he returned without using the loo due to state it was in and was clearly blocked. We got the bill and left most of our food. Good points - nice girl serving our table. The fried chicken wings, I was told were very tasty. Personally, I wouldn't return for food."
