What can I say, outstanding quality and cooking. It was truly a journey of the taste buds. We sat and had pea and buttermilk velouté, stunning. Then the crab salad, this was something special, followed by lamb and new potatoes. The soft lamb against the smoky potatoes was perfect and to finish was a luxurious desert of 4 chocolate treats...

Liked the atmosphere which was like being in a slightly dated and quirky town house crossed with a farm house! The food was superb, not on the cheap side but you get what you pay for. The wine was superb and the service similarly so. We would love to return.

Visited 15 April. Brilliant ... really great concept for Monday night dining ... set tapas menu with 5 meat, 5 fish and 5 vegetable dishes to chose from and for just £12.95 per person you can eat as much as you like. Then a delicious dessert platter with chocolate brownie (nut free :-) ) with rhubarb syllabub and buttermilk ice... More

We visited last week and expected something special. We expected small portions but not that small! Bearing the prices in mind, there are better places to go to. Nothing was wrong but nothing had the 'wow' factor.

To celebrate my retirement, I arranged for 40 colleagues to share a meal with me at Farmer Brown's which proved to be a memorable occasion. The chef prepared a menu to suit our budget (3 choices for each of 2 or 3 courses) and we were not disappointed with our selections which I forwarded to the venue in advance. The... More

We ate at Farmer Brown's last weekend and were not disappointed. The food was of excellent quality and I was impressed that there were two vegetarian dishes to choose from. Normally there is only one on this kind of menu. The service could not be faulted and the food was delicious. My only quibble is that if anything the service... More

Farmer Browns young team of chefs and managers put together a great menu of 100% locally sourced foods, with a creative gastonimic twist befitting some of the most hightly rated restaurants in the country. We went as a party of 8, with an age range from 30's to 70's - and all appreciated what they ordered ! bit expensive, but... More

Lunched here with friends on a day trip to Norwich. Central location very close to the cathedral. We liked what we saw from the menu outside so rang and booked a table for 3 at 1pm. When we arrived, the waitress seemed a little flustered, explaining that she was the only one on duty and that service may be delayed.... More

Went there for a Christmas team meal. Were booked in at a set time and the main course eventually came almost 2hrs after our booked time. Food served almost cold on large white plates, when portion actually only filled the small centre of the plate. When we left we went across the street to the newsagent and all bought a... More
