The Garnet

You'll find The Garnet right on Market Place—that bit of Norwich that actually feels like a proper city square. It's got the kind of straightforward pub appeal that works whether you're after a quick pint, lunch with mates, or something more substantial. The place pulls a solid crowd without ever feeling try-hard about it; just good food, decent drinks, and the kind of service that doesn't make you feel rushed or ignored. If you're round the city centre and want somewhere that does the basics brilliantly rather than chasing trends, this is exactly where you'd end up anyway.
