Pear Tree Inn – Norwich

Fabulous food, fabulous owner and great atmosphere! Went the first time as our son was playing footie in Norwich, kids were desperate to go back for the burgers, so the next time we were in Norwich we went back! Owner is very personable and all had a great time! Highly recommended! Can’t wait to visit again!

The Pear Tree always has a reliably welcoming atmosphere, whether I’ve been popping in for a quick half or settling in for an evening with friends. A great example of this pub’s excellent hospitality was back in December of 2020, when lockdown rules decreed that you could only order a drink if it came together with a ‘substantial meal’. Of all the Norwich pubs a mate and I visited one evening, to find out their take on a ‘substantial meal’, nowhere had put in as much effort with their food offering (nor priced it as reasonably) as the Pear Tree. A big pot of delicious stew was bubbling away, complete with dumplings! I have been in many times since, with every visit reminding me of what a lovely pub this is.

Drank our drink and left. Kitchen closed except for bar snacks. Jack Russell Dog was welcome though after about 15 mins of sitting quietly was told he wasn't allowed on the shabby couch, where he was asleep on my wife's knee. Suddenly, it felt like we should leave.

Wow what an evening , booked a meal at a restaurant which let us down. So we said get a chinese and take back to the appartment. Popped in the pear tree inn before getting chinese. After a few drinks we were asked you two look smart are you off to the theatre ?.No I said it is our wedding anniversary and we were going out for a meal but the restaurant has let us down ,so we popped in for a couple of drinks and we will get a chinese and take back to our appartment. WHAT!! said the landlord I see what I can do. About 10 mins later a bottle of Champagne on Ice turned up on the bar Happy anniversary from us all they said . My wife is chinese what would you like off the menu on the house. No your ok thanks I replyed ,No we insist. So the landlady made us a meal for free . Pop corn chicken with chips and bang bang sweet chille sauce, Hat Yai Chicken garnish with corriander Rice. Pork Belly Stir fry whith green beans chille and rice. Plus drinks all night . Thank you Leslie & Nick for your hospitality it was a fantastic jester to 2 strangers to your pub , you made one lady very happy saving the day .And we left as friends what a couple thank you again.❤❤❤❤

03.09.2022 Came on a whim. Pub was very clean and kitsch. Menu was reasonably priced and decent sized portions. Would visit again. £4 minimum spend on the card. £1.90 for a coke. Friendly and well-behaved husky in-situ.
