The Norfolk Hotel

Century-old boozer The Norfolk Hotel has lived many lives. It’s one of Cleveland Street’s most enduring landmarks, serving punters in various guises since 1921.

Its revamp under hospitality giant Solotel sees a pared-back fit-out and swag of pub classics. This includes beef and VB party pies, rissole burgers like your mum used to make and roast chook rolls (with a side of gravy).

Or order from the Ricoas Tacos menu, offering five-tacos, two-quesadillas. There’s also vampiros in the mix – a hot tostada with melted cheese, al pastor and avocado salsa. Kind of like a crunchy, cheesy, hot taco.

For dessert, there’s a lamington ice-cream sandwich created in collaboration with Ciccone & Sons.
