Norwich Road

We like the Thai Food here, we think it is good value, but we have experience some slow service, so you could experience a bit of a wait, the English food we are less convinced about, Sunday Carvery is good value, but not as enjoyable as the plough, and too late in the lunch serving times and it can be a little tired.
