Premier Inn Norwich Nelson City Centre hotel

You're practically tripping over the railway station when you walk into this Premier Inn restaurant, which makes it stupidly convenient if you're grabbing a bite before catching a train or meeting someone fresh off one. The dining room has that predictable chain hotel aesthetic – nothing offensive, nothing memorable – but the location on Prince of Wales Road puts you right in the thick of the city's evening action. The menu sticks to the Premier Inn playbook: hearty British classics, decent steaks, and a solid breakfast spread that'll sort you out after a heavy night in the nearby pubs. It's not going to blow your mind, but when you need somewhere reliable that won't let you down, this does exactly what it says on the tin. The staff are switched on and the kitchen turns things around quickly, which counts for a lot when you're starving and everything else nearby has a queue.
