Favourite Norwich lunch spots - part 1

Norwich has some great spots for lunch. Here are some of my favourite (and great value) options:-
Shiki, Tombland

This Japanese restaurant in Tombland is situated close to the Cathedral and has a great value lunch menu with noodles, soup, curry & sushi on offer. The Bento boxes (£10) are a great option to try a few dishes too (I've yet to sample one - mission for 2015!).



Beef Yaki Soba, £5.95

Flaming Galah, Ber Street

Sample of seres of delicious Aussie pies at Flaming Galah, with classics such as garlic chicken and mushroom, beef and onion and beef and stout pies alongside more unsual offerings like spicy Panang curry, chicken satay, seafood chowder and goats cheese. Upgrade for £1 to get the Bonza Deal (mash potato, mushy peas and gravy). 


The Aussie Deluxe, £4.95 when purchased as a Bonza Deal

Pizza Express, St Benedict's Street / Bethel Street

The Leggera Superfood Salad is such a great choice for a healthier lunch. Without chicken, this is under 300 calories and is super filling. A mix of leaves, cucumber, roasted butternut squash, beetroot, mozzarella, avocado, pine kernels, lentils with balsamic syrup and fresh basil. 



A beautiful view of St Peter Mancroft Church on Hay Hill can be seen from Pizza Express at the Forum.





Mambo Jambos, Lower Goat Lane

Mambo Jambos is a bit of a Norwich institution and a popular place to go for group meals out. Specialising in Mexican and South American flavours and super-size portions, you will never leave hungry! Unfortunately forgotten by many for lunch, definitely worth a visit for one of the Mexican offerings or a delicious Hoagie for under £8 (Sticky Pig with BBQ pork, onion rings and cheese is my winner!) 


Sticky Pig Hoagie, £7.95
