I really enjoyed this place - walked in off the street on a Tuesday in November and got a table - it was probably half full. Lovely food and good service - nice wine selection to boot. My only criticism which is more about me not picking the right venue rather than the place itself, is that it is quite... More

Considered and perfectly cooked food, impeccable wine matches, relaxed and friendly atmosphere; Roger and his staff must be due for a Michelin accolade sometime soon. From a couple of real foodies, this was simply the best meal we have ever had in Norfolk. More

Whilst Roger Hickman's restaurant is small, one doesn't feel cramped despite the fact it is always busy. The food is imaginative; beautifully cooked and presented. The quanities between different dishes is quite pronounced - the venison (main course) was nouvelle in the extreme, whilst the scallops & pork belly (starter) was quite generous, as was the duck breast (main course)....

A friendly little restaurant in the centre of Norwich. Combining the set lunch and the a la carte provided a wide selection of tasty food. Smoked haddock soup was delicious and filling. Beef cheeks were lovely. The rhubarb and ginger anglaise was fantastic. Service was attentive and friendly. More

We went here for lunch and i thought there were a few glaring errors that i don't expect from a restaurant calling itself 'fine dining' 1: On the lunch menu, one of the main courses was described as 'Roast Fillet and Belly with.....' When i enquired what animal this was, the waiter replied 'Oh it's Pork' and laughed as if... More

On a bitingly cold evening we were warmly welcomed to this top class yet unfussy restaurant. We chose the Tasting Menu and savoured small yet vibrantly flavoursome portions of beautifully presented food. Scallop with belly pork, sea bass and salsify, Foie gras with fig chutney with pain d'espice , ox cheek and fillet beef, cheeses and a tart orange dessert... More

We have eaten at Roger Hickmans about 4 times in the last year, and have always had a very good meal. Roger is fast becoming the restauranteur to beat in Norfolk, as he seems to be winning lots of awards. Some of his courses are excellent, and I would expect him to be challenging for a Michelin star some time... More

We went for my husband's 40th and so we splashed out and had the taster menu with the wine. Although £140 each we both though this was great value for money for the food and the wine. The amuse bouche and the other little touches were brilliant, service was amazing and this was a brilliant start to our weekend in... More

I visited RH with my family in December. This was my second visit to the restaurant and to be honest I have to question why..... From start to finish the experience was fantastic and a "foodies" idea of heaven. From the marinated olives on the table to the outstanding cheese board, I cannot speak highly enough. The wine we had... More
