About This Pub
Ah, The Belle Vue, it's one of those pubs that just hits the spot for a proper Norwich night out. I've got to say, the folks running the place are absolute stars; they're so approachable and make sure you're having a top time, whether it's a quick pint or a family do. The atmosphere is just lovely – warm, fun, and not at all stuffy, which is perfect if you're after somewhere to unwind and share a laugh. Prices are a real winner too; you get solid, no-nonsense food like a cracking full English at a steal, and the drinks deals are generous without skimping on quality. It's especially great for marking occasions, as it's accommodating and keeps things cheerful. On the flip side, it does wrap up by 11 PM, so if you're planning a longer evening, you might need to head elsewhere. And while it's all about that traditional pub charm, it might not wow you with anything extravagant – but honestly, that's part of its appeal for a laid-back crowd. Overall, it's a solid choice if you're looking for good value and a friendly face in Norwich.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Food was classic pub food nice. Cheap pint!
The Belle Vue was absolutely perfect as a venue for our family celebration event. The owners and staff were very accommodating and friendly and made the whole experience absolutely lovely. The food was excellent and food and drinks and excellent value and everyone had a really lovely time! Thank you so much - We can’t wait to come back!
A super friendly pub with solid, non pretentious food and a SUPER reasonable price!
Food - I headed down for a full English and they didn't disappoint, everything was well cooked and solid quality, super generous portions at a really good price, my fry up cost £10 and was a large and I felt full for like 6 hours. My partner had a bacon roll, it was like £2.50, full of thick cut bacon. Griddle pan cooked (there is a difference and it's awesome) and brilliant. Can't fault it!
Service - Super friendly, John and Sarah are lovely, they've run the place for a couple of years and are clearly passionate about what they do. Chatty and personable but not intrusive, again, can't fault it. They always have solid deals on.
Atmosphere - The Belle Veu is an old English pub and it feels like it, it's warm, clean and calm space, John is an ex-servicemen and it shows in the décor. I'd call it a local if you get me?
Accessibility - Fully wheelchair accessible, plenty of space and the bar isn't too tall. Parking is on street and very limited.
