The Unthank Arms

Tucked into Norwich’s Golden Triangle, Unthank Arms is a much-loved local where heritage meets modern ease.

Recently refurbished, it balances polished style with a relaxed spirit, the sort of place that feels just as natural for a lingering lunch as it does for a convivial supper with friends.

The kitchen charts a modern British course with gastropub influences, leaning into bold yet comforting flavours. Think warm bread and olives to open, or spiced onion pakoras with mango chutney mayonnaise and pickled red onion.

From there, a classic rump steak arrives with peppercorn sauce and crisp skin-on fries, while braised harissa lamb brings fragrant heat, cooled by tzatziki and brightened with gremolata, feta and toasted pitta. Bar stalwarts are treated with care too, from ale battered haddock and chips to the Unthank burger layered with Monterey Jack and smoked bacon.

To finish, the double chocolate brownie with dulce de leche and vanilla ice cream tempts, as does a raspberry and white chocolate cheesecake with a glistening berry compôte.

Book a table, settle in, and let Norwich’s warmth do the rest.
