The trade in Norwich
Norwich eats at the Market and drinks in the Lanes
Norwich's trade sits inside the old walls and the bend of the Wensum.
Who trades here
The street-food stalls, the chip stalls and the coffee counters of the Market, the restaurants, the wine bars and the cafés of the Lanes and St Benedicts Street, the old inns and the dining rooms of Tombland and Elm Hill, the late bars of Prince of Wales Road and the chains of Riverside, the match-day pubs on the walk to Carrow Road, the world kitchens and the old pubs of Magdalen Street, the neighbourhood pubs, the bakeries and the brunch cafés of Unthank Road and the Golden Triangle, and the riverside pubs, the farm shops and the dining pubs on the roads out to the Broads and the coast.
The week and the year
The Market from Monday to Saturday and the lunch queue that runs round the stalls, a Friday and a Saturday night in the Lanes and on Prince of Wales Road, the Canaries at home and the pubs that fill along the river, the festival in May when the city puts on its shows, the Royal Norfolk Show at the end of June, the Lord Mayor's Weekend in July, the students from September to June in the Golden Triangle, the summer visitors on their way to the Broads and the coast, Christmas under the lights on Gentleman's Walk, and the January weeks when the city eats with itself.
How people arrive
Norwich station is the end of the main line from Liverpool Street, under two hours away, and brings the trains from Cambridge and the Midlands, the Bittern line brings Cromer and Sheringham, the Wherry lines bring Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft, the A11 brings Cambridge and London, the A47 brings King's Lynn one way and the coast the other, the park and ride sites ring the city, the airport brings the flights, and the cathedral spire stands at the end of every view across the river.

The brief
What a Norwich restaurant website has to do
The Market and the Lanes are a lunch and a dinner
The Market sells lunch standing up to people with twenty minutes; the Lanes and St Benedicts sell a table and an evening.
Independent is the city's word, so show who you are
Norwich chooses its independents on purpose, and the visitor has read about them before the train gets in.
Say the Lanes, Tombland, Magdalen Street or Unthank Road
A search for dinner in Norwich could mean small plates in the Lanes, an old inn on Tombland, a world kitchen on Magdalen Street or a pub on Unthank Road, and they are different evenings and different money.
The county comes in for the day
Norfolk shops, banks and goes to the theatre in Norwich, and a show, the festival and a Canaries Saturday bring the whole county to the same streets.

Questions people ask
Web design in Norwich: the questions people ask
How much does web design cost in Norwich?
From £1,650 for Website – Starter, the same in Norwich as anywhere EDC works. The pricing page lists every package and what it includes.
Do you design websites for businesses in Norwich other than restaurants?
EDC builds for the food and drink trade: restaurants, cafés, bars, pubs, tea rooms, bakeries and delis. A site for a stall on the Market or a restaurant in the Lanes is built by someone who has run one.
Who designs restaurant websites in Norwich?
Epicurean Digital Consultants, based in Wimbledon in London and working in Norwich by train and by video call, founded in June 2024 by Ali Solak after twenty years running hospitality operations.
Do you cover the Golden Triangle, Thorpe St Andrew, Wroxham and Wymondham as well as the city centre?
Yes. The Golden Triangle, Eaton, Thorpe St Andrew, Sprowston, Costessey, Wroxham, Wymondham and the villages toward the Broads are part of the same trade as the Market, and the local search work names the street and the village as well as the city, so the right people find the door.
Do you need to visit the restaurant?
One visit is usual at the start, to see the room, the kitchen and the walk from the station or the Market; the rest is by video call and email. Norwich is under two hours from Liverpool Street, so a visit is a day, not a week.
Where this page's design comes from
Studio Nord, one of the concept sites in the Web Portfolios
This page takes its large quiet type, its hairline rules and its warm ground from Studio Nord. It is a concept site with a fictional brand; no business on it is real.
