Weaving was a major occupation in Diss right from the 12th century with several guilds being set up which have interesting ups and downs that could merit a closer study of their history. Today however, Weaver's would refer to the remarkable restaurant and bar created by the talented William Bavin which now occupies pride of place on Market Hill and it's a well known spot for those wishing to dine on simple but tasty English fare, as well as those who yearn for more complex flavours.

The menu is infused with the rich bounty of the Norfolk Coast so expect to find starters of mussels tossed with garlic butter and finely chopped shallots finished with Chardonnay and cream followed by seared strips of Scottish salmon over asparagus and pea risotto with a beurre blanc sauce. End with the banana and toffee trifle with custard, Madeira cake and whipped cream and there are more than 120 bins in the wine list at Weaver's featuring most of the world's wine producing areas.
