A celebrity chef has spent his birthday in Norwich filming for a television series alongside a renowned restaurant critic.
Ainsley Harriott and Grace Dent enjoyed the city's food scene on Monday, February 28, as part of filming for a new series.
The chef, who celebrated his 65th birthday in the city, posted a photo on Instagram of his breakfast at the Assembly House in Theatre Street.
The former Ready Steady Cook presenter went for an order of pancakes with bacon, a fried egg and maple syrup.
The caption read: "Tasty birthday breakfast in Norwich before a day of filming."
The pair were later spotted at Cocina Mia, a Chilean street food stall on Norwich Market.
The owner of the stall, Ana Bridgman, posted a photo of her with the duo on Twitter.
