Open daytimes Monday – Saturday, Norwich Market has a smorgasbord of delicacies! It’s the place to head for quick lunches, delicious take-out, and exceptional vegan food. If you’re in the mood for Asian inspired meals head straight to Bun Box for donburi bowls or bao buns (or both, we don’t judge here), or Indian Feast for some truly delicious curries. Falafel & Friends have an extensive vegan menu, including (surprise) amazing falafel wraps, aubergine schnitzel, and ramen!
Or go for a market classic – chips, with lashings of salt & vinegar, from Lucy’s Chips. If you’re in the mood for something sweet – head to the Cuppie Hut! There’s plenty more vegan food on the market: just take a wander down the aisles to find out.

Don’t miss their soft serve ice-cream.

A much-loved Norwich favourite, Café Gelato has an excellent rage of sorbets – perfect for those light desserts, when you just can’t fit another bite in… We recommend getting two scoops (naturally), and asking for their recommendations, as flavours change with the season!
Cupcake & Co
Pop up to Upper St Giles for a delicious vegan treat – they stock brilliant cupcakes, biscuits, and much more! Cupcake & Co have a selection of vegan treats available daily, including a very moreish peanut butter cup. If you get there early enough, you could even grab a bunch of flowers to take home.
Looking for those vegan basics? Stocking up at home? Need seitan, cashew cheese, nutritional yeast, or something else entirely? Both Little Shop of Vegans and Rainbow Wholefoods have a great selection of essentials and those hard to find items.
Visiting Norwich and want to go for something familiar? Grab a burger at Gourmet Burger Kitchen, BrewDog, or Byron’s.
