Melville and Sons

In the bustle of Norwich City Centre, Melville and Sons delivers a confident, contemporary take on comfort and craft. The mood is unhurried and appetite-led, encouraging guests to settle in and let the table fill at its own pace.

Begin with something simple and satisfying, perhaps warm focaccia with whipped butter and oil, before moving to small plates that balance finesse with fun. Beef tartare arrives with egg, a chive emulsion and crisp potato chips, while fried chicken finds lift in ricotta and a lick of hot honey. Flatbreads bring a playful streak: Drunk in NYC nods to buffalo chicken with ranch dressing and blue cheese, and Ain’t Mushroom layers wild mushroom, caramelized onion and garlic.

For heartier appetites, a pork tomahawk glossed with Café de Paris butter hits a savoury stride, and a charcuterie board invites leisurely sharing. sides keep things lively, from pomme frites with confit garlic aioli to charred hispi cabbage dressed in vodka sauce and parmesan. To finish, classic tiramisu rubs shoulders with a butternut squash pudding crowned with whipped coconut cream and chocolate.

Whether grazing or going all in, diners will find a rhythm that suits. Book a table, follow your cravings, and let Melville and Sons do the heavy lifting — you bring the company, they will bring the flavour.
