Suns out The Smokehouse,
Ormesby Widely lauded for serving up the best burgers around, this southern American-style diner has a wide range of home-cooked and in-house smoked meals on their menu.

Zaks has been a staple in Norwich and Norfolk since 1976. Its famous chargrilled burgers are still made from 100% British beef by the same local company and are cooked fresh to order. Each 6oz patty is served in a toasted bun with beef tomato, lettuce, red onion, dill pickle, mayo and a choice of ‘taters. Our go-tos are The PB (smooth peanut butter, maple and red pepper glaze, bacon and crispy red onions), The JD (complete with Tennessee whisky glaze and MJ cheese), and the Godfather (mushrooms and Italian cheese on a garlic sour dough bun). Vegetarians and vegans are excellently catered to here, with all the same burger choices as meat eaters, swapping the meat for Moving Mountains vegan patties, facon and other plant-based ingredients.
