Belgian Monk in Norwich

Ah, the Belgian Monk – it's one of those places that just warms your cockles on a chilly Norwich evening. I've got to say, diving into their extensive beer menu feels like a proper adventure; whether you're after a crisp draught or something more unique from the bottles, there's bound to be a gem that'll have you coming back for more. The food's another highlight – those mussel pots are legendary, and the rest of the menu pulls in some cracking Belgian and Northern French influences that make every bite feel special. The team behind the bar are dead helpful too, always ready with a recommendation or a chat, which makes the whole experience feel genuinely welcoming. On the flip side, it's popular, so you might find yourself disappointed if the mussels have run out or if there's a glitch with booking online – it's a minor niggle, but it happens. All in all, if you're up for exploring some top-notch brews and tucking into solid grub without breaking the bank, it's well worth a visit; just plan ahead and you'll have a cracking time with your mates.
