The Unthank Arms
Run by experienced landlord Nick De’Ath for over 30 years, The Unthank has earned its place as the heart of the Golden Triangle.
We offer a warm and friendly welcome and great value food in a lively pub atmosphere.
Upstairs, our light and airy restaurant is ideal for a leisurely meal and is the perfect venue for your party, function or meeting. We can offer a wide range of menus including buffets, and can accommodate up to 200 guests in total (with seating for up to 70 upstairs). The restaurant is also available during the day for meetings, conferences and seminars.
Our large garden is also available for your summer parties and we have a selection of delicious BBQ menus.
We serve our delicious menu all-day, everyday. If you’re peckish after lunch and before dinnertime we’re ready with the full menu available. With tables inside, in the garden or in our covered Courtyard we’ve got plenty of space to welcome you (although we always recommend booking)
Our customers LOVE the vast choice of interesting, imaginative and seasonal dishes on our main menu – and that’s before they’ve even been tempted by the daily specials as well! Our aim is to cater to everyone’s tastes – from a classic Unthank burger or fish and chips to more unusual dishes for more adventurous palates. You can get a look at what’s on the New Spring and Summer menu here but you’ll have to visit to find the daily specials as well. Whether you find yourself tempted by a bowl of delicious loaded fries alongside a pint or you want to relax and enjoy a leisurely lunch or dinner we have something to suit you.
On Mondays and Tuesdays we invite you to cheer up the start of the week with a free glass of wine with our pasta specials (look out on social media for what the chefs have dreamt up!).
On Sundays you just can’t beat one of our traditional Sunday roasts – choose from beef, pork, chicken and vegan nut roast (although you can still choose from the whole menu if that’s not for you!). We serve our roasts year round and all day on Sundays – from midday until 7pm.
We know how many people are more interested than ever in where their food comes from so we source as locally as possible and have been working with some of our suppliers for many years. We’re the perfect choice too if you follow a specific diet – with plenty of vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options and flexibility as we make everything from scratch so we can cater for everyone.

Celebrating at The Unthank
If you’re organising a wedding, civil partnership, birthday party, christening or other special event we would be delighted to help you. We can accommodate all sorts of different sizes and types of events.
Classic Victorian bar – seating up to 40 – ideal for a smaller, relaxed meal with close family and friends and no pretension. This is our main bar area downstairs.
Airy Upstairs restaurant – seating up to 70 – a self-contained space to gather your guests together, enjoy delicious food and perhaps speeches and cake.
Large relaxed garden (and a covered, heated Courtyard too!) – perfect for a summer afternoon or for some drinks before you sit down to eat.
The Whole Pub – if you’re looking to celebrate with a larger group we can make the whole pub available on a few selected dates – perhaps combine your ceremony or a drinks reception with a wedding breakfast and a fun-filled evening with music and laughter.
The Unthank is an accessible location in the heart of Norwich’s Golden Triangle, with parking available.
Weddings and Civil Partnerships
The Unthank is an original venue, and can be tailored to suit you. You can include whatever personal touches you want to add, allowing you to exercise your creativity.
We have a team of experienced, friendly, professional staff who’ll provide unobtrusive and capable service.
We don’t apply any hidden ‘wedding’ charges – our prices are equally good value whatever the occasion. If you choose to have any ‘extras’, from balloons to a DJ, you simply pay for what you want to have.
You can take a look at our BUFFET MENU HERE and our SUGGESTED SET MENUS HERE but we’re expert at guiding you to what menu or style might suit your event so please do get in touch and we’ll be happy to help you put together your menu and timings to make sure your event is a success.
Parties
For parties you can choose from the same excellent range of informal and formal food options – we have great ideas for delicious food walked around to your guests so they don’t need to stop enjoying themselves to eat. We can provide an extensive choice of music or you can use one of our recommended DJs. We are licensed until midnight with later hours available by arrangement.
We can organise flowers, balloons, music, cakes and any other details you’d like taken care of.
Celebration Dinners
If you’d like to gather your friends and family to celebrate a special occasion we can seat groups of almost any size. We can offer a host of SUGGESTED SET MENUS HERE or you can choose from our seasonal main menu in advance.
Come and look round – you’re welcome to pop in anytime but for a chat about what we can offer give us a call on 01603 631557.
