7 Heaven Burger & Waffle

I saw this place advertised on groupon so decided that me and my other half would try it for half price burgers. Now what I didn't realise was that it was just for the burger, chips and other add ons are extra. Whist this is good if you just fancy a burger I'd rather just have a meal.

The restaurant is in the centre of the city giving it a prime location for customers. If you know Norwich it is near the market and Jarolds. It is a small establishment with around 6/7 tables but the decor is nice and inviting and a little rustic.

Sausage and Chips - Grosvenor Fish Bar

There are two fish and chip shops with an eat in restaurants within Norwich city centre... That I know of and three fish and chip stalls on the market (2 long standing ones and 1 newish one).

Now the market stalls are the cheapest options and there are 2 really good, long standing ones. One is Ron's and the other is Lucy's, personally I always go to Ron's as they do battered sausages and Lucy's has an un-battered one, but whenever I go to the market there is usually a queue for both. The other one is Chip and Dip and is relatively new and not as popular. 

The two
restaurant style shops in the city centre are Orford Plaice and Grosvenor Fish Bar! Now I have tried both and I have to say Grosvenor's chips are much nicer and the atmosphere is better... however Orfords Plaice is more central being next to Debenhams while Grosvenor's is down the lanes which is a little further out. I haven't had a chance to compared their fish yet but their sausages are around the same quality but Grosvenor's has three sizes. These two establishments are pricier than the market stalls but still really good value.

Grosvenors Menu has items that you'll find in most chippys but they also have specials giving them a good range to go along side their chips including squid, tuna, mackerel and Shark nuggets! I really need to try more of these but I always end up fancying a sausage.

Butterflies Coffee Shop - Norwich Camping & Leisure


Came to this little place inside Norwich Camping and Leisure, Blofield, Norwich with my grandparents as they had previously been here for lunch and said it was good. We were lucky to get a table for four as was very busy at 1pm. It was pouring with rain and was nice to sit inside (however there was a small leak in the roof and a small amount of rain got in). The coffee shop was inside the Camping centre which was made out of a small brick building and an extension made of what I would describe as an industrial greenhouse, this is where the coffee shop was located. 

They had a counter that was filled with homemade cakes. There was a wide range and
we had plenty to choose from if we wanted a sweet treat. There were chocolate tarts, Victoria sponge, coffee cake, carrot, cake, a giant batternberg, millionaire shortbread and some pies, as well as some flapjack looking things.


There was a good selection of sandwiches, jacket potato and some quiches and salads for lunch. I had a pot of tea whist my sister had a cloudy lemonade as they had a decent range of drinks but it wasn't the cheapest place I have eaten in but brilliant if you wanted to look around the camping and leisure centre.

The Ferry Inn


(Used a picture from markee13 off trip advisor to show the restaurant from across the river, all other photographs are my own.)

Went here for dinner with my grandparents, sister and other relatives for a carvery which was a nice change as haven't had one in ages. Although this was a little out of the way, about 30 minute drive from Norwich through Wroxham, it is in a lovely place for a drink or meal by the river.

Chinese Takeaway - Royal Dynasty

Parents were away so me and my little sister treated ourselves to a takeaway (we never have take away when parents are home) so ordered in a Chinese take away from just eat. http://www.just-eat.co.uk/restaurants-royaldynasity-nr3/menu 


They had the standard array of food available from a Chinese but me and my sister opted for the set ment B for 2.

Spring roll (2)
Sweet & sour chicken ball (10)
Chicken with mushroom
Special fried rice (2)(medium) 

That came to £14.50 and £1.50 delivery. Usually I don't like paying for delivery but there didn't seem to be any better options for a Sunday which was surprising and £8 each wasn't too bad for what we got, but I have had cheaper. 



The chicken balls were alright however ...
