The Glass House is like a roulette wheel because you never, ever know what you're going to get. It's consistently inconsistent but the staff are excellent and it's garagatuan layout somehow seems awkward to navigate. The garden seems to get the sun for about 30 minutes a day somehow and always seems to be cold. The bar is huge, but the queue always seems to be three deep. Food arrives quickly but it's seldom what you ordered and sometimes this is good and sometimes this is bad. Yesterday I got a lemon and herb chicken instead of a chargrilled chicken with gravy and mash and peas. The mixture of flavours was particularly unique and one I'm only ever bound to encounter again at the glasshouse. Still, the pints are cheap and the app works well and just about everyone in the world is here for ages, because no one can afford to session drink in any other pubs any more. Notice how the food prices are creeping up though? If its going to serve 'cheap and cheerful, no-frills slush' then I'd like that to be reflected in the price. £14 for a lemon and herb and gravy and mash combo just isn't going to cut it.

The pub is within five minutes walk of the train station (just turn left, go down the slope, cross the road into the pedestrian area and keep going straight ahead). The member of staff who served me just didn’t have a clue – the beer my husband wanted wasn’t available – so she could not recommend another (her manager had to). The wine I asked for (on the menu) she didn’t know what it was (so had to ask the manager) … Apart from the staff member it was an enjoyable place to sit outside in the autumn sun. The food (chips and onion rings) arrived at our table literally as I returned with our drinks – hence the 3 star score.

If you have been to a Wetherspoons before you know what to expect. I visit with my Dad every few weeks, and the lunchtime is busy enough to mean getting a seat is the first step. There is plenty of seating downstairs and more in a light and airy up stairs. Also outdoor seating which is great in summer. Real ales are always a great choice here. And excellent value for money. Food is very reasonably priced and a good choice. Look out for the daily specials that are even cheaper than normal. Last time we visited our mains came in under five minutes and were very tasty and filling.

Fabulous place, inside and out 😊 As wetherspoons go, I'd say 8/10, mainly holiday trippers and visitors to Norwich I'd say, not a rowdy franchise at all like some.
