    Alex is an outstanding host! Great drink recommendations and always entertaining over pre-lunch drinks! Food was excellent. The cheese souffle starter I had was the best I've had and very tasty. Excellent service and the other courses were also great. We have booked again for a pre-Christmas treat at Bishops which is our favourite Norwich resturant.

    An excellent evening can be guaranteed by dining at Bishop’s. There is always a warm welcome from Alex and the front of house staff and you know that the food both by way of presentation & flavour is going to be fantastic, service excellent together with the overall ambience of the dining room. We wish Alex all the best for the future, but hope he doesn’t move on too soon.

    Went with 2 friends who hadn’t been before, they loved everything they had. We all chose different dishes and we can recommend them all. One friend said the soufflé she had for dessert was one of the best desserts she’s ever had.

    A splendid a la carte meal. All three courses were a delight. The presentation, portion size and taste of the lemon sole main course was especially good. All washed down with a bottle of tasty Chablis at a reasonable price. Well done Alex and the team.
