My friend and I met for brunch and she suggested Bill's - I had never been before, and I was…read morepleasantly surprised! The hostess was a delight, as were the servers. We took some time to decide (too much chatting due to not having seen each other for a while), the waiting staff was very patient with us. My Diet Coke came with crushed ice, my friend had a freshly pressed juice which she loved. My friend had the avocado on toast, I opted for the full English breakfast. About that full English breakfast - I am pretty sure it is the best I have ever head. Less than eight quid for two thick slices of toast with sunny side up eggs, a Cumberland sausage, rashers of bacon, mushrooms and beans. The menu offered additional offers of crispy potato (hash brown) and black pudding. I asked whether I could substitute the mushrooms and beans for a hash brown or pudding, and expected there to be a charge? No charge. Very, very pleased with everything. Excellent service, delicious food, superb atmosphere. Definitely a fan, I will return!

A fantastic warm and friendly feel as soon as you walk in, and an array of locally grown and produced foods welcome you through the door - an array I have been assured will expand as they further establish.

The full English is fantastic, highly recommended and I am not sure why, but the coffee was by far the best I had all week (was on holiday there)...so good in fact, I had 2. If you are in the area, go in, say hi, shop, have coffee (2 even) and drink it all in, trully is a lovely place. We passed by it every day for a week and each time we said 'oh, we should pop in there!' and only did on the penultimate day of the holiday...but returned the next day too for breakfast, kicking ourselves for not going in sooner:)

As I said I would seriously recommend the sharing platters if you drop by, in particular the seafood option.

Its a small cafe, always clean and I'm guessing that it can cater for about 20-25 people at a time.

The staff are always polite and efficient. Deffo recommended if you want a quick cuppa and a bite or a huge hangover defeating fry up!

Caught in the rain again and considering how busy this tiny cafe was it was looking bad, however like Moses at the Red Sea the people parted on our arrival and we settled in for a breakfast. There are only five tables and three outside of the Unthank Kitchen, so it certainly is cosy. One pays for their food first up and on seeing the menu they certainly specialise in breakfasts. There are also various sandwiches, but many are big breakfast bap based. So if the breakfast is the speciality and the price an eye opening £5.90 (there were cheaper options but my word I was famished and the beer sweats were on) I was hoping for something special. There was the option of chips or hash browns, frankly chips for breakfast is a gastro crime, although you'll get more for your sterling. On arrival I was suitably impressed, an enormous plate that sat like a cuckoo in the nest upon the table. It was twos up all the way with two bacon, two browns, two eggs, two sausages with a pile of mushrooms and beans. The bacon was fried to perfection and the eggs perfect. The keystone holding it all together were the sausages, allegedly award winning they were something super. A good sausage in a cafe these days is hard to find, they're usually standard deep fried bread filled garbage, these had meat and herbs and tasted superb. The whole monster was washed down with a big free mug of Earl Grey and I contemplated the hours, like a crocodile digesting a wildebeast, I would have to spend with the breakfast in my belly. Only one gripe for this friendly and good value cafe, no black pudding.

From the looks of previous reviews, Waffle House is a local staple well-known to residents and…read morevisitors alike; yelp is not highly utilised in Norwich yet this business has a higher than average review count. Even without yelp, I'd know how popular this place is because it's in all the guides and is a restaurant I'd initially seen and heard about when starting at the university. It's one of the first breakfasts I had in Norwich and is easy to find in the city centre. As expected, it was busy but we didn't wait too long to be seated. The queue ended up being much longer after we finished. There are multiple floors but we were on the ground level towards the back dining area--just a tad bit of a tight squeeze around our table. We ordered three dishes: a granola and fruit bowl to share, the Mixed Fruit & Nut Waffle, and the Waffle House Breakfast (mine, which included a waffle, free range scrambled eggs, field tomatoes and mushrooms, and bacon rashers). While the savoury bits were okay, I found the namesake waffles, and ultimately the plate itself, to be forgettable...or below average at best. With a spattering of other superior breakfast and lunch eateries in the city, Waffle House is not one I'd return to. I know I'm deviating from the general review consensus, but I wasn't particularly impressed with my dining experience and a relative of mine had an even worse meal another time. However, the service was fine, and my dining companion liked the meal (sweet options) and coffee more than I did.

Ever the open minded traveller (and food lover) when I found out that I would be visiting the Wildebeest Arms a local popular gastropub run by a top local chef, I was excited! My excitement extended to elation when I learned that instead of Sunday brunch, Britts tend to enjoy something called Sunday Lunch, which is served in the early afternoon and most typically involves you consuming the traditional meal of roast beef with Yorkshire pudding - OMG! So take it from this Canadian, back home - in Toronto, there are a lot of places that offer a Roast Beef dinner, specifically Irish/English pubs, and you know what - they do alright by the tradition, but, more often than not, you're getting something overcooked and just missing a soul. I've never had authentic British cuisine before, and say what you want about it... but it's hearty, it's seasonal, it's delicious and just feels good! The Roast dinner/lunch special was about 20GBP if memory serves so in CAD $ that's about $35. Everything was incredibly tasty and cooked perfectly, however, some members of our party noted that sections of their beef was a touch over cooked. On the other hand, my order was perfection, my only complaint - and maybe it's the glutton in me, but the serving I received was much smaller than that of others at the table. I was a tad disappointed about this since it was the part of the meal I enjoyed the most. The size of my meat (pause for a laugh) aside, the entire meal including the YSP (Yorkshire puds), the potatoes and root veggies were all on point and cooked masterfully! I was feeling peckish still at the conclusion of my meal and somehow got talked into ordering another UK seasonal favourite for dessert - Sticky Toffee Pudding. OMG x2, this cake is basically like a piece of dessert concrete and if I had about 25% room left before, I was properly 45% over capacity following my consumption if it. But so worth every sinful bite, especially the to die for caramel sauce the whole dish sat in.. nom nom nom nom.
