This evening we went out for supper as we will no doubt do for the rest of our stay.

Wensum reflecting lights

We left the apartment and crossed the Wensum, now reflecting lights.

Wherry Road

We walked along this thoroughfare, called Wherry Road. We knew it from previous visits to Norwich: it is lined with restaurants.

Frankie and Benny’s

We made a show of looking to see what was on offer along the street but we had really already decided to go to Frankie and Benny’s Italian-style restaurant as we had done on previous occasions.

We both chose Ultimate Mac ‘N’ Cheese, which is a vegetarian version of macaroni cheese,

We had tea to drink though it was unfortunately served in the abominable way that is becoming all too common: you are served a cup of tepid water with a tea bag in the saucer for you to put into the cup yourself.

“New York Cheescake”

To follow, we both had something called New York Cheesecake though why it was called that I have no idea as I very much doubt whether it has been anywhere near America.

The food was good though the service was extremely slow. This was probably because they were carrying on a brisk trade in food to be delivered and restaurant customers such as we had to wait their turn.

Having eaten, we came straight back to the apartment. We made tea the proper way and settled in for the night. Tomorrow, our Norwich adventure begins in earnest!
