Travel Guide to Norwich: Eat, Shop, and Explore!

Norwich City Guide
We took a day trip from London to explore Norwich - an ancient town in North Norfolk. We're going to share the best places to eat, shop, and explore as we discover the beautiful market town of Norwich. As a bonus, we're travelling with our Corgi, so every location is dog-friendly as well. We hope you enjoy our sustainable travel guide to Norwich.

Fra Kost [Vegan Bakery]
We arrived early morning on Sunday and our first stop was a Danish inspired bakery called Fra Kost. Everything here is completely vegan, and the coffee and danish buns were excellent. The perfect first stop on this Norwich travel guide!

Norwich Cathedral
We spent the next hour walking around, and taking in the city, eventually arriving at Norwich Cathedral which has adorned the city's skyline for over 900 years. We found the Cathedral and the people working there warm and progressive, and spent a few moments enjoying the quiet solitude before leaving for lunch.

Where to Eat in Norwich
Norwich is peppered with good places to eat, and we were recommended The Hashery, a brunch spot, as well as the Deli in Jarrolds, a local department store.

JC Pinto [Brunch]
@jcpintonorwich
But as we were walking we came across a bustling cafe called JC Pinto, and had lunch here instead. Benaisha enjoyed a veggie burrito while I chowed down on a delicious quesadilla.

Where to Shop in Norwich
After lunch we decided to do a bit of shopping, of which Norwich has a many options including a mall, which we decided to skip, and a local market with small businesses and eateries.

Norfolk Retro [Vintage Store]
@norfolkretro
Instead we walked over to Norfolk Retro -- Benaisha does love a vintage store, and had arranged to meet the founder Laura to learn more about her up-cycled furniture and antiques. Everything is also available on her Instagram page, so don't forget to take a look.

Tofurei [Vegan Cafe]
@tofurei
A few hours later we made our way to Tofurei to meet another small business owner named Jenny, to learn more about her unique tofu concept. She kindly fed us a warm bowl of tofu noodle soup, and the most delicious tofu cheese-cake. Everything here was both gluten and dairy free, but super delicious.

The Gunton Arms
@guntonarms
Benaisha and I visited our last stop of the day The Gunton Arms, a wildlife estate spanning over 1,000 acres. The pub at The Gunton is a must-visit on your trip to Norfolk both for the food and the warm and inviting atmosphere. The unique thing about this pub is the walls are covered in contemporary art, being founded by the eccentric art collector Ivor Braka, who uses the pub as an informal art gallery to display his collection.

We enjoyed a glass of wine, some locally sourced venison, and a generous portion of fish and chips. A perfect ending to a day well spent.

Visited Norfolk 15 years ago, never left....best county in the UK.

[Journeys-of_Jake_Simon]

Norwich is quite simply the best city of the South... a perfect eclectic mix of old and new.... born, raised and oh so proud of it.

Glad you like our city, thank for sharing your experience!

Loved meeting everyone in Norwich - such such lovely, warm people! Excited to go back and do some more exploring :)

[mopo]

I had to leave Norwich because I was made redundant during covid and I miss this place so much. It is truly fine city!

[macjuk]

It's worth mentioning that Norwich isn't in North Norfolk - the featured Gunton Arms however is. It's a 50 minutes to an hour drive between the two.

Every ounce is gold so make sure she is happy and safe

Loved this video! Norwich here we come!

[edwardfrisby]

interesting to see my home city from an outsiders perspective and surprising to see my old boss from when i worked at tofurei

[dalefountain]

I am a citizen of The CITY of NORWICH. One thing we hate is people calling our CITY, " market town"! A part from that nice video. You and all others are welcome to visit our City.

[hormazmehta]

[yogamarinade]

I wanna visit Norwich and try the tofu restaurant! Loved seeing you guys in the video! Can't wait for the next trip with your Corgi :)

[shakethatemulsifier]

Great video! I am a local and haven’t heard of some of these places. Super vegan options too 😊

[garybreed-notley]

I’m a Norwich lad now living in Liverpool. I do miss aspects of Norwich however wouldn’t change my decision to move to Liverpool one bit. Great review

[caitlinyoung]

Love the Corgi and the workers in Tofurei, they are the sweetest!🤍

[theactualdashman]

Thank you so much for the video. The missus and I decided yesterday to choose Norfolk over France, and your videos have convinced us that we can have the same quality of life right here in the UK.

Welcome to Norwich, Such a beautiful place with plenty going on

[seabear]

As someone who grew up for half his childhood here before moving to London, this made me so nostalgic to go back. Thank you for painting the city in such a beautiful light. Subbed ☺️

A wonderful watch of my home city this Christmas morning. Thank you for painting such a beautiful picture of Norwich.
Sometimes I forget to see its beauty when I work in it everyday, and thank you for highlighting all the yummy vegan places we cherish. I'm not vegan but dairy intolerant and swear by Biddy's Tearooms for tea and cake. I highly recommend them and hope you return soon 🫶✨
