I�ve just sat down to a meal at the Norwich Pub, the Walnut Tree Shades and I can�t express how disappointed I was as I suggested the venue to a friend!
The menu was straight of the 80�s with all the usual suspects of Burgers and Chilli and such like!
So not to make a comment without trying the evidence I ordered a Walnut Burger. When it arrived it was what I thought it would be. Two terribly cooked carpet burgers with loads of chips (Too much does not mean good!!!) and an awful side salad of limp lettuce and tomato. As for the bun, dry and stale.
The waitress did ask if we wanted sauces and yes we got them just like you would in a 70�s Transport Caf�.
On reflection the whole process was poor value for money with badly cooked dated food. I was embossed for the person that devised this food.

I went in this pub last saturday and was amazed at the transformation, the new owner has really reformed it into a nice clean establishment. The staff are friendly and approachable while the food is the best American cuisine in the city. I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone, i spent all Saturday night there and will do again this week!

Good pub well run, can't say much more nor do you need to.

Three hand pumps; Woodfordes Wherry, Buffys Norwegian Blue and possibly London Pride, I think. I had to ask for the Wherry to be topped up as it was poured quickly and had quite a head that sank quickly. For some reason this ended up being a big meeting point for our travelling ale fans on Saturday 08 August. The alley to the rear accomodated us as we drank and chatted.

I enjoyed this pub, not the greatest Real Ale range, but plenty of atmosphere and friendly. Lots of music memorabillia for a good afternoons read of the walls, plus cool background music. The guy behind the bar was a bit stroppy, but nothing to worry about. Laid back and relaxed and bang in the centre of town.

I love the Walnut Tree Shades, used to go there at lunch time and never wanted to leave. Last time I went in the Juke box was broken which made me sad, I hope they mend it :)

nice enough but a little dark with the windows hidden from sunlight. american themed deep south interior and menu.
