    Another fabulous dinner at The Steam Packet! The menu is small but interesting and there is a big focus on local and seasonal food. The menu changes all the time, so it is always different. I particularly love their homemade icecreams - this week was rhubarb ripple and there was also fresh mint and chocolate chip!!!!! We also really love the atmosphere and the staff are always fantastic - thank you - I have already re-booked for next week!

    Really lovely welcome, attentive service without being intrusive, food was delicious. Prices reasonable (slight negative was that service charge added right bill). Will be back. Loved it.

    I shared an excellent shepherds pie . Dessert wine lovely with pear and almond tart. Sweet space. Attentive waitress. Watch hard working chefs take their craft seriously. A gift to Norwich.

    A very enjoyable evening with delicious food and wine, friendly service and a great environment. The devilled mutton kidneys and the thatched farm mutton with chard were particularly good. Thank you to everyone in the Steam packet.

    Paid an extremely high price for the T-bone steak which was tough and extremely chewy. Mentioned it to the waitress- the chef came over to apologise and offered us a dessert which we declined. Such a shame as I’d heard great things. I unfortunately won’t be a returning customer
