This being said the establishment is a very pleasant place to be, the garden area is lovely, there are nice drinks on offer at the bar and the safe are all very accommodating. As I said I would seriously recommend the sharing platters if you drop by, in particular the seafood option.

The teeny weeny Unthank Kitchen, the final stop on my Norwich trip and a very special final stop it…read morewas. Caught in the rain again and considering how busy this tiny cafe was it was looking bad, however like Moses at the Red Sea the people parted on our arrival and we settled in for a breakfast. There are only five tables and three outside of the Unthank Kitchen, so it certainly is cosy. One pays for their food first up and on seeing the menu they certainly specialise in breakfasts. There are also various sandwiches, but many are big breakfast bap based. So if the breakfast is the speciality and the price an eye opening £5.90 (there were cheaper options but my word I was famished and the beer sweats were on) I was hoping for something special. There was the option of chips or hash browns, frankly chips for breakfast is a gastro crime, although you'll get more for your sterling. On arrival I was suitably impressed, an enormous plate that sat like a cuckoo in the nest upon the table. It was twos up all the way with two bacon, two browns, two eggs, two sausages with a pile of mushrooms and beans. The bacon was fried to perfection and the eggs perfect. The keystone holding it all together were the sausages, allegedly award winning they were something super. A good sausage in a cafe these days is hard to find, they're usually standard deep fried bread filled garbage, these had meat and herbs and tasted superb. The whole monster was washed down with a big free mug of Earl Grey and I contemplated the hours, like a crocodile digesting a wildebeast, I would have to spend with the breakfast in my belly. Only one gripe for this friendly and good value cafe, no black pudding.

It serves up a decent fry-up, ideal for curing those hangover blues. The staff are nice and friendly, sympathetic to your plight no doubt. I took my parents there and they weren't as impressed, it's not the Ritz, it's just cheap and cheerful with a nice outside terrace overlooking the road, ideal for people watching. Think of it more as a bacon and egg based Wendy house than some posh getaway to impress the folks with. Go to 103 for that kind of thing!

The award winning Bond Street cafe is up there as one of the best greasy spoons in Norwich…read more Situated on Bond street opposite Earlham cemetary, it thankfully doesn't cater for spirits and ghouls! Its a small cafe, always clean and I'm guessing that it can cater for about 20-25 people at a time. There is a wide selection of food, which ranges from the notorious buster breakfast to daily roast dinners, and there is no problem if you want to change items on the menu to your tastes. The staff are always polite and efficient. Deffo recommended if you want a quick cuppa and a bite or a huge hangover defeating fry up!

My friend and I met for brunch and she suggested Bill's - I had never been before, and I was…read morepleasantly surprised! The hostess was a delight, as were the servers. We took some time to decide (too much chatting due to not having seen each other for a while), the waiting staff was very patient with us. My Diet Coke came with crushed ice, my friend had a freshly pressed juice which she loved. My friend had the avocado on toast, I opted for the full English breakfast. About that full English breakfast - I am pretty sure it is the best I have ever head. Less than eight quid for two thick slices of toast with sunny side up eggs, a Cumberland sausage, rashers of bacon, mushrooms and beans. The menu offered additional offers of crispy potato (hash brown) and black pudding. I asked whether I could substitute the mushrooms and beans for a hash brown or pudding, and expected there to be a charge? No charge. Very, very pleased with everything. Excellent service, delicious food, superb atmosphere. Definitely a fan, I will return!

Find this one on the food court level of Chapelfield Mall beside the escalators. It's themed as an all-American diner that serves up American-style pancakes and breakfast, hot dogs, burgers, and milkshakes. Because they frequently offer student discounts--sometimes as much as half off meals, especially on student shopping nights--I've had a little bit of everything here whilst studying at the university. The breakfast plates are okay as are the burgers, and their chilli dogs are probably the closest you'll get to a Coney-style hot dog in Norwich. I was a fan of their Tabasco fry seasoning, which unfortunately seemed to have dropped off the menu (it was pretty spicy).

Have only eaten breakfast at Ed's, so I can't comment on the burgers…read more All fresh, good quality ingredients, perfect eggs, the best hash brown I've had since I can remember. Good service and very clean. I recommend the All American which is streaky bacon, 2 chipolatas (small sausages), hash brown and two pancakes with eggs on top, with a pot of maple syrup, a bit pricey at £7.25 but very good none the less. Coffee is ok with free refills. This is a chain, but the food and service don't reflect that, it's always a good way to start a days shopping.

We opted to sit outside, but the outside seating area was extremely small. Be prepared to be cramped anywhere you sit as the inside is limited for seating space as well. Nonetheless, the waiters were very nice and attentive. While my business partner drank a bloody mary (he said it was the best he'd ever tasted), I ordered a pint of Adnams Ghost Ship. I like my beers a little on the hoppy side, so this choice was perfect: not too hoppy, but still carries a citrus taste. With a menu heavily slanted towards brunch, I ordered the traditional English breakfast and was satisfied. Not the best I've ever had, but certainly worth recommending to the casual visitor.

We came one morning from brunch and loved the eggs! They do a fine cup of coffee as well. The "American Style" Pancakes where however anything but American Style. Being an American I can say I've never laid eyes on a pancake like that and I've had my share. They tasted nice, but it was essentially a couple scones made from pancake batter. We went back again for breakfast a few weeks later and brought friends from London with us and tries more of the egg dishes, bacon, and chorizo this time which were all stellar. Franks is quickly becoming our favorite breakfast and brunch place in Norwich. This Thursday we are planning of stopping in for dinner to give it a go.

Unfortunately there are no menus, just black boards located around of brekafast, mains and dessert, which is slightly confusing and overly complex. Good location and props for the seasonal, healthy menu, it was just a bit too cluttered for my taste. Will try again on my next visit to the UK.
