    Amazing little place. I'm still not sure how he manages all alone but the service and food are excellent. Couldn't choose between the scallops, ravioli or crab tacos as best dish today.

    Probably the best food I've had in Norwich. The atmosphere and service is gentle and relaxed. We loved the wine too - we tried the Chianti. I will definitely be coming back hungry!

    Absolutely beautiful food. Very well prepared,presented and paired with absolute precision. Every flavour complimented each and every dish. The scallops were a personal highlight for me. Upon finishing i was left speechless by knowing that it was all perfectly executed by a one man only. Service,food and atmosphere was spot on.. One for the memory bank!!!! I wish him all the success and support.

  • 5/5 St Benedicts S. 1 year ago on Google
    Italy via St Benedicts street. Inviting cozy candlelit atmosphere. Lovely wine and a nibble; perfect for a relaxed catchup with a friend. The wild garlic butter and sourdough bread were delicious.

    We went for the taster menu a couple of weeks ago. Simply put every dish was amazing. This is the best food we've eaten in the UK, no really! Add to that the nice place, fair pricing, good value wine, and the lovely couple that run it...go on, go there now, you know you want to!

    We had Sam's taster menu which was exquisite. The flavours of every plate were sensational. Sam is a great cook and Lauren served us with great attention to detail and timing. We will be back and would recommend Corkscrew wholeheartedly

    Had a wonderful time at The Corkscrew. The atmosphere is so relaxed and cosy, makes the perfect place to enjoy a bottle or two of wine and delve into their delicious menu! Food was amazing! Samuel was so lovely and friendly, was obviously very knowledgeable on the wine and food. Can't wait to come back again soon!

    Friendly, helpful service from the busy front of house/chef/server. Great food - the breads are excellent and the home-made butter is amazing. Good pasta and house red wine.

    Outstanding food & very personal service. The chef was very accommodating for allergies, even going out of his way to buy specific goat's cheeses for the cheese board at the end! Lovely atmosphere too. Thank you for a lovely evening!

    Such delicious food! High quality, excellently prepared and a laid back atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Lauren S. 1 year ago on Google
    The small size creates a relaxed and intimate atmosphere which is perfect for enjoying delicious wine and a menu of small plates that changes to reflect the seasonally available produce.

    This has to be the best food I’ve ever had out side Italy. It was like going on holiday. Flavours I haven’t had for years. All the food was was incredible especially the tortellini. We had the mixed platter to start and the quality of the cheese and meat was superb. We then had a couple of nibbles as starter and a couple of small plates for our main. Everything was so good. We ordered roasted red Onion as a wild card because I wanted to see what could be done to make an onion worth it and it turned out to be the best dish. Just don’t know how he did it. Best place to eat in Norwich!!!!

    Fine dining at its highest level! Cosy and intimate atmosphere with candle lit, Sam is the best host, he accomodated the tester menu to our pescatarians requirements and it was absolutely amazing food and wine, moslty carefully sourced locally and in Italy, with truly good price to quality ratio. A real gem in the centre of Norwich, our go to place for romantic nights now, and would recommend to anyone to enjoy a special dinner in town. Also shout out to Sam for creating such elaborated tester menu, and coming up with a new one every couple of weeks, really impressive work. Looking forward to coming back again soon!

👍👍 What a great place in the centre of Norwich! We were really pleased with our meals- rib of beef, burger, scallops and prawns and a burrata salad. Service, quality of dishes and value were all very good. If you want a fine dining meal without the ponce and supplement then look no further. The Wine Ce...
