    Had only heard good things about this place and they are all true. Fantastic evening in an intimate, atmospheric environment. Not sure there is anything quite like this place in the city. Food was top notch and the service was on point. Can't wait to come back.

    We had a really great evening here. It feels a little like a family run French bistro; everything beautifully served and imaginatively cooked. And they play vinyl records! Recommended.

    We have been regulars at the Steam Packet for some time but this was the first time we had eaten there. And we were not disappointed. The restaurant is small and intimate, beautifully decorated. Our server was delightful - really attentive and friendly. And the food was absolutely amazing. My beef and venison pie was to die for. We will definitely be going back.

    Another absolutely fab dinner at The Steampacket. They have recently won Best Restaurant & Best Newcomer at the Norfolk Food & Drink Awards and deservedly so. The atmosphere is casual & cosy and the staff are friendly, efficient & professional. The menu is small (a good thing in our opinion) and the dishes are creative and interesting - it is always refreshing to see unusual dishes being served as there are quite a few restaurants these days which just the serve the same type of boring food that they have been doing for years. The menu changes almost every day I believe. Thanks guys - we are booked to come back in November so already looking forward to it!
