Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

The Woodman Pub & Carvery in Norwich offers a welcoming atmosphere with "friendly" staff and "good value for money." While some diners found the carvery inconsistent, with "dry meat" and "thin gravy," many appreciated the "lovely homemade Yorkshire puddings" and "rustic, inviting" environment. It's a spot worth trying again for its potential and hospitality.

For a Christmas menu, the food I regret to say was no more than average. Service was attentive and friendly.

Second time at the carvery, this time the food wasn’t very warm. Didn’t complain as the gravy heated up the food and had sat down after being at the carvery. Did tell waitress when asked if all was well. Food would have been nice if warm.

It was one of the worst meals I have ever had the meat was dried up as it was the very end of the joint there was 3 of us we all had different meats and were all horrible the veg was mushy and cold and gravy was like water I have never complained about a meal in my life but that was the worse ever will never go back and will pass on to friends so they don’t make the mistake like I did one of my friends was in there as well with his wife he couldn’t eat his either and left
