A Norwich pub will celebrate French food, drink and culture with a special set menu and wine pairings.

The Weavers Arms was opened in Muspole Street in July 2023 by George Colley and Natty Crothers, who also run the pasta bar Yard in Pottergate and at The Stanley pub. 

At The Weavers Arms, they offer traditional pub fare such as pies, toasties and Sunday roasts. 

But at a special upcoming event, there will be something completely different to try.

Under French law, the wine is released at 12:01am - just weeks after the grapes have been harvested.

At the Norwich event, guests can expect very young, fruity and easy-drinking wine. 

For the main course, there is a choice of cassoulet and buttered greens, Soufflé Suissesse or steak frites and green sauce. 

Mr Colley said: "This is our first special event but we have a few Christmas ideas and would like to utlise the church over the road." 

Tickets cost £70pp with sittings at 5pm or 8.30pm - book and see the full menu at theweaversarms.com
