!! NEW FEATURE !!NorwichEatsA year in Love Norwich FoodWritten by Zena Leech-CaltonI’m Zena; cookery tutor, food writer and an ex-chef who studiedat Norwich City College. I was a chef for 15 years and served 15more as a cookery tutor with all sorts of foodie stuff in-between,including blogging.When I first moved back after a stint in London, I was disappointedby the food scene in Norwich having been so spoilt for so long.But things have changed…Norwich is now the best place to find vegan food in the UK but it’sall food that Norwich has embraced in total abundance. It’s nowa go to place to visit for amazing and varied cuisine with over 500places to feast or be watered in this fine city.I’ll be telling you all about it every month but for now to kick off, Ithought I’d run through 2019, which to be honest won’t fit on thispage.Norwich Market NewsAwarded the best largest open-air market in the UK with nearly200 stalls and half of them dedicated to food. Expansionhappened all over the market with Churros for the Peopledoubling up to include a counter, Bun Box quadrupled to includesushi, Fresh took up the stall opposite to offer hot Asian brothbowls and Sicilian Street doubled to add pasta and seating.Plus, Lucy’s Chips expanded to offer a dedicated vegan menu.Chimney’s arrived offering European rotisserie sweetened pastrycones. A new Chinese offering dim sum took over Puff & Bean.Plus, Walsingham Farm Shop opened as a Norfolk deli, takeawayand sit-in pie, mash and gravy cafe.Foodie EventsZena – it’s all about the food!www.lovenorwichfood.co.ukInstagram - @love_norwich_food@secret_menu_norfolkTwitter - @foodnorwich@menunorfolkThen there were the events like Proudly Norfolk Food Festival atthe Forum. They’ve dropped ‘Battle of the Banger’ but made theevent bigger with activities, cookery demos, street food and tonsof local food stalls. If you were missing a sausage all you neededto do was head to Aylshams Big Sausage Bash for a day of tastingand fine Norfolk produce.Open Venue started calling their foodie events ‘Dining Differently’.I went to their first Prosecco & Pudding event, with 40 desserts tochoose from, plus custard! With everything sweet from browniesto lemon posset. Look out for their regular events; Dining in theDark, Oktoberfest and the Gin Festival with other foodie highlightsthrown in in-between.So, as you can see I wasn’t kidding when I said there is simply toomuch to mention - I didn’t even have space to mention Panda Baror the gossip; like what’s happening to the pub at the bottom ofCow Hill?You’ll find me talking all Norwich Eats in my monthlyonline column at www.eastlife.co.uk and in each publication!New Restaurants, Bars & CafesWhen it comes to new restaurants hitting our Norwich streetsthere were plenty. Don Txoko a Basque style tapas are cooking onFat Elvis down at St Benedict’s Street. Harrys took over Pedro’s inChapelfield Gardens doing American very well. Upstairs in the oldMash Tun (soon to be Strangers Tavern), Gin Palace turned intoDoor Eighteen with The Gin Academy attached.Michaels Grill opened up in the Oaklands Hotel cooking on Berthain an open plan kitchen, so you can sit and watch the chefs. TheYork NR2 opened its doors again after being closed for a year withnew owners and a new-look modern British menu.Another takeover was The Last Wine Bar, with a new lookBrasserie, a top chef and an amazing menu – you must have heardof the famous Crab Doughnut - it made national news!A Kurdish kebab restaurant called Nergiz opened on MagdalenStreet, offering proper shawarma’s, homemade naan bread wrapsand Kurdish stews. Gem of Norwich opened in the old Prezzoopposite the station selling a mix of finely cooked Middle Easternfood.83
