Since opening in 2021 in the Norwich Lanes, pasta and cocktail bar Yard has built up a big following and it is now set to expand. 

Yard in Pottergate is run by George Colley, also behind Brick Pizza, and Nathaniel Crothers and customers can tuck into authentic Italian dishes. 

Due to its success, the business partners were looking to open at a new location to meet demand.

Meanwhile, The Stanley pub in Magdalen Road was in need of someone to take over the food as Danomey Kitchen is leaving on Saturday, March 4 to open its own premises.

Mr Colley said: "We're good friends with the landlord David and when he said Danomey was leaving we jumped at the opportunity as NR3 is a real up-and-coming food area and the place to be." 

It will be open Tuesday to Friday 5pm to 10pm, Saturdays, 12noon to 10pm and Sundays 12noon to 5pm.
