Elm Hill Brasserie embraces the very best fresh, locally sourced produce to create seasonally inspired menus of classic French food. Managed by the chef/owner, Simon Turner, and his brother James, who runs Front of House, the brasserie has no 'airs or graces', ensuring that the focus is on creating delicious food, delivered in a warm, friendly and unfussy environment.

Located on what is often described as the most famous historic street in Norwich, the Brasserie occupies a corner plot where Elm Hill crosses Princes Street. From the huge windows you will notice the tip of the Cathedral spire towering above the surrounding medieval buildings.

Meat, fish, vegetables and fish all come from celebrated local providers and the menus change regularly and are kept short to reflect the best ingredients of the time. There is no such thing as a typical menu. As examples, during the summer months, you could find starters of soupe au pistou, Cromer crab soufflé, risotto of broad bean with 12 hour slow roast belly pork and a dish of pan fried calf's liver. For main you might be tempted by the Cromer lobster thermidor, Shropham reared rump steak, haddock served with samphire, roast red pepper and hollandaise sauce or the loin of pork with thyme and basil crust.

At Elm Hill Brasserie the cheese is treated as an institution and will be talked about long after the board is empty, whilst desserts are kept classic - think crème brûlée, nectarines poached in Monbazillac dessert wine and tarte au citron.

The wines are selected personally by the Chef and his team, to match the food, the season and to reflect the classic French nature of the restaurant. Elm Hill Brasserie offers pre-theatre bookings by arrangement and a well-priced set lunch and dinner menu Tuesday to Saturday.
