From falafel to burgers, there has been a street food boom across the country since the pandemic and Norwich is no exception.

The distance from The Last Pub Standing in King Street to The Whalebone pub at the end of Magdalen Road is just over a mile.

It could rightfully be named Norwich's 'street food mile' with its diverse mix of no-fuss dining outlets, where eating with your hands is often encouraged.

At the end of the road, The Whalebone pub regularly hosts street food trucks, offering everything from Thai food to pizza, and a stone's throw away on Lawson Road is The Brewery Tap with loaded chip buckets from Motherchip.
