Nowhere near as good as it was five years ago. Far more interesting in serving Deliveroo or Uber Eats delivery people rather than those actually in the shop. Waited over 20 minutes for takeaway fish and chips. the food was overcooked and inedible.

A barely average meal today. Rather greasy and fish overcooked. Chips were OK. They used to be very reliable for a great meal but no more and too variable. I will need to give them a break for a while to see if they recapture...their mojo otherwise will need to seek alternatives as quite disappointing on this visit, sorry to say.More

This place I believe cooks in Beef Dripping the chips were very greasy and the fish was very oily they said they use vegetable oil which is most likely to be palm oil which is very saturated fat. It is not cheap either you would...get a better meal at your local chippy Avoid like the plague. Also the restaurant looks a bit tired and not very nice to look at. Go to the Ivy for top nosh every timeMore

This is always our No.1 to go for fish and chips, but on this occasion we were so disappointed. We waited half an hour then our food was dried and tasteless. The fish was like cardboard and the batter hard. The chips were awful. So...disappointing. Really does not make us want to return. Usually such a beautiful meal! Very disheartened!More

Sorry to say but not good on this visit. Chips were much thinner than usual and were greasy. Oil seemed old. Cod looked a good size but was largely batter but the batter was at least crispy. For the price charged a poor effort and...will not visit again for a while and hopefully this is not indicative of the future.More

Been coming here for years, the food is always wonderful. The staff are lovely and always up for a natter. Cara is wicked. Food is very affordable and they always have cosy lighting up.

It's dirt simple really - there is nowhere better. Absolutely nowhere. The quality of food, the service, the atmosphere of the bomb shelter-like starting area. There is nothing that needs improvement. Nothing. Not a thing. I've just been in and even though I'm three sheets...to the wind, I'm composed enough to know there's nowhere I'd rather have got dinner after the beer festival. I got the chips and chicken fillet burger and a pickled egg, and it was exactly what I needed, fresh to order. They forgot my bun and, rather than make me pay for one, accepted it as their error and added it anyway. This is without remembering the number of family lunches they've done for me and my family absolutely perfectly, in terms of service and quality. We always consider this place as our lunch venue whenever we come to town. Best chippy in the country, bar none. Look no further. Simple as.More

Popped in for a quick Friday lunch whilst waiting for an appointment, left really dissapointed. Chips clearly had been sitting under heater all afternoon as they were dry, overcooked and utterly flavourless. Battered sausage was passable at best. Clear to see its lost its crown...as the best chippy in Norwich since it changed hands.More

I’m surprised at recent negative reviews. We had lovely cod and chips with fantastic mushy peas. Bit pricey but everything is these days. For a birthday treat it was worth it. Extensive menu. Crispy batter and not greasy. Especially liked that the cod was skinless.

Been visiting this chip shop for years, this is the first time I was left disappointed. While the prices go up, the portion sizes seem to go down. The food was over cooked, and way to crispy, this used to be the best chip shop...in Norwich and always cooked to perfection, sadly wasn’t on this latest visit.More

Such a shame! I remember when the Grosvenor first opened and gave Aldeburgh Fish and Chip shops a run for their money. We used to go all the time and recommended it to everyone we knew. Sadly those days appear to be over. Had another...meal there tonight and again the fish was utterly flavourless; it literally tasted of nothing other than the batter. I wonder if it was fresh? The chips were ok but pretty meagre portions. And it's expensive! Cod/haddock £9.50, chips £3.50, whilst Aldeburgh fish is about £5.50 & you'd expect Aldeburgh to be pricier. I don't mind spending more when food is good but the only thing my meal had going for it was it was very hot. Come on Grosvenor! You were once the best chip shop in town, you can be again if you get your fish supplier sorted out.More

Visiting Grandson from South America asked for fish and chips as his birthday meal and we are so pleased we choose Grosvenor. Usual high standard of food and they really made fuss of him and made his visit special. Thank you so much, really appreciated!

After my last review with overcooked fish I'm glad to say everything was back to normal and superbly cooked fish and chips. Great meal and enjoyed by us all. Light batter, beautiful cod and fluffy chips crisp on the outside. One of the best chippies...in Norfolk.More
