Old Boots left this review about Norfolk Arms
A large Holts pub on the main crossroads in Glossop. Open plan but retaining a number of separate areas, the left-hand end being more a dining area and the right for drinkers. Surprisingly busy early on a Wednesday at 11am, some kind of old lady event was happening in the dining area. The counter is mainly to the right and has a tall banquette opposite and lower tables, chairs and banquette seating around the walls. Decor in the corners of the bar is domestic circa 1955, as pointed out there’s a fair bit of tiling and dark wood about the place. Four pulls and seven solos of Holts beers with a couple of T-bars of national brands on one face of the L shaped counter. The casks were Bootleg (Holts) Chorlton Pale Ale and Holts Bitter, good but not outstanding, with Holts Mild & Mighty coming soon. Similar line up on the shorter face of the counter. Beer garden at rear, the place is a bit of a maze with odd bits here and there, toilets are sort of at the back. Screens, machines and piped music are provided for your entertainment.

Surprisingly large and recently redecorated Holts pub. Really well done and there's a hint of Spoons on the varnish wood panelling. The green metro tiles are impressive. A plethora of pumps but a let-down as just the Holts Bitter and a guest in Chorlton Bootleg were actually on, the latter of which was pretty good (NBSS 3.5). The smell of pizzas in the air may not appeal to some. Thought it was decent in the context of Glossop. 6.5

Stopped off here on our way through the Peak District. Lovely and warm, nice decor throughout. Very friendly staff and the food was amazing. We had the cajun chicken baguette and the three cheese and roast veg baguette, both really nice and excellent value for money. Football on the telly in the bar but this was in no way invasive as we were in the dining room. Outside seating area for the smokers or when it is a tad warmer than the 5 degrees it was on our visit. I would definitely come here again.
