Castle Quarter

You know that slightly guilty pleasure of grabbing food in a shopping centre? Castle Quarter does it better than most. Tucked between the shops just a stone's throw from Norwich Castle, this place has managed to gather a decent collection of eateries that go beyond the usual chain suspects. The beauty is in the variety – whether you're after a proper breakfast before hitting the shops, a quick lunch between errands, or even a late dinner after catching a film. The atmosphere buzzes with that particular energy of city centre life, shoppers mixing with office workers and tourists fresh from the castle. Sure, it's not going to win any awards for ambiance, but when you're in the thick of town and need something reliable, it does the job with more flair than you'd expect.
