The Edith Cavell — Restaurant in Norwich

We visited Molten, a cosy fondue restaurant above the Edith Cavell pub on a Friday eve when the pub was very busy, but upstairs in the restaurant it's a more quiet and relaxed atmosphere. The fondue menu is a 2 or 3 course set menu and between 4 of us we opted for 4 starter cheese fondues, 2 mains and 1 dessert... We all agreed the cheese fondue, which comes served with very good bread, was delicious... Gooey, exceedingly cheesey, well flavoured and extra bread given when requested to mop every last drop.. The main fondue is served as a cook yourself option, and we had one meat, and one vegetarian option...both served with a selection of dips and some side vegetables. The meat eaters were happy, not overwhelmed... but the vegetarian option consisted of some cubed tofu and gnocchi..both flavourless and just didn't work in a pot of boiling oil with the gnocchi completely falling apart in the oil, which we had been warned about when it was served 🤷‍♀️. We left most of it and have to say without doubt, in over 50 years of being vegetarian this was undoubtedly one of the worst dishes ever to have been served.. The final chocolate fondue however, was again fab and we all agreed that had we stuck to the starter and dessert options it would have been a great meal. Despite the main course we all had a fun evening, it's a different dining experience which is relaxed and unhurried... cocktails, drinks and service were all good and would recommend giving it a go for just the cheese and...

Unfortunately, my mum and 73 year old nanny were nearly physically attacked today by the so-called landlord who looked like he was nearly past his expiry date. He got in their face, in the women’s toilets, for wanting to use the toilet. My mum had an empty can which he snatched out of her hand. Correct me if I’m wrong but I wasn’t aware this was illegal, and definitely doesn’t elicit physical and verbal abuse.

If you enjoy being verbally and physically abused, feel free to enjoy your time at Edith Cavell.

in response to your sarcastic reply:

Call me old fashioned, but squaring up to and shouting in someone's face isn't a very pleasant experience and certainly isn't an acceptable response in any circumstance. This, alongside verbal abuse (insulting my mum on what she was wearing - a maxi dress and trainers), and snatching something out of someone's hand is in fact assault. You were extremely threatening and rude and your condescending response shows your attitude. My mum had an empty can and was not using your toilet, but was instead assisting her mother - who paid you £5 for using the toilet, despite your arrogant and threatening demeanour. You soon...

Overpriced, rude staff, poor use of very limited space with tacky decor and uncomfortable bar stools (though none at the actual bar for some reason?). Bizarre atmosphere - it can’t seem to work out if it’s a comfy ale bar or a mini night club, blaring noisy 00’s pop music to a near-empty Friday night. Coffees and cocktails are made by a machine, and half the food can only be ordered on Deliveroo. Feels a bit like you asked an AI to make a venue!

Edit: contrary to the owner’s comments I have never worked for Edith Cavell though I have been a customer several times - I was even photographed in the paper as their first customer when they reopened this summer. I do know someone who has worked here and was unfairly dismissed for calling in sick due to a long-term kidney condition. I chose not to mention that and keep my review specific to my experience of the venue which has been...
