This may have been a pub once but it is no really a tapas bar with limited facility for drinkers. On the evening I was in every one of the tables was occupied by diners with the drinkers clustered uncomfortably around the bar. It has the environment of a restaurant with a bar rather than a proper pub - this feeling is further exacerbated by the hams and salamis hanging from hooks around the bar

GKIPA and Theakstons XB on pump but really if you are looking for a pub in the area this is not the place and you would be better of going to the Skinners, Boot or Lord John Russell.

I'm surprised by the negative reviews. The Norfolk Arms is a bit pricey so I don't go often but whenever I've been it's been fine. The staff are ok - not TGI smiley but civil enough and helpful (incidentally, I'm middle-aged, plump and homely looking so there's certainly no trendy prejudice taking place).

Beware. On my first visit last Friday, the hideous barmaid gave me change of a tenner when I had given her twenty pounds. When my friend suggested she might apologise, he was informed that I was lucky she had refunded me. Will be back for their hell freezing over celebrations.

This is more a restaurant than a pub. The tapas is good, but the beer is not. If you are on a date it is superb, if not, avoid.

I had the misfortune to come across this pub yesterday and agree with the comments of earlier posters.

I meet some friends there who had managed to get a table which had a reserved sign for 7.30 pm on it and had been assured it was fine for them to drink.

Unfortunately mid drink we were told that we had to move as the staff had got the booking run and needed the table for 7. The waiter was particularly rude and hurried us to get off the table. We were then forced to stand and finished our drinks and the waiter simply shrugged his shoulders when asked what we should do.

So overall happy to take your money and happy to treat you like rubbish.

On the upside then ventured to the much more accomodating and friendly Lord John Rusell.
