Found on the corner of Fishergate in the oldest part of Norwich, The King of Hearts Café is a light, airy space with views over the river Wensum and the Cathedral.
Originally a Tudor Merchant’s house, The King of Hearts still boasts many original fixtures, including beamed ceilings, original fireplaces and an amazing mullioned window in the Tudor Hall.
A wide choice of teas and coffees, plus a range of delicious home cooked food (scones, soup, paninis, jacket potatoes, salads and larger main courses for those with a big appetite!) make The King of Hearts café an ideal venue for meeting friends, relaxing in between sightseeing or shopping or simply relaxing with a newspaper and watching the world go by.
In addition to the café, which is decorated with calming colours and natural materials to give a sense of relaxation and wellbeing, The King of Hearts houses an Art gallery and craft shop. With so much to offer, it is easy to while away whole afternoons at this vital and unpretentious Norwich gem.
Café open Mon-Sat 9am-5.15pm.
Gallery & Shop open Mon-Sat 10am-4pm.

Upcoming Events At The King Of Hearts.
Gallery Exhibition 5 May – 31 August 08.
Exploring Textiles: A celebration of past and contemporary uses, from functional to decorative.
Parallel to the Sainsbury Centre’s Cloth and Textiles Now, the King of Hearts is exploring the same field with a slightly different emphasis, in that instead of being international, all artists are from East Anglia; also, instead of focussing only on contemporary works, this original exhibition seeks to make a bridge between past and present. A cross-over between modern and traditional uses, the Show begins with 19th century lace work on clothing and Edwardian embroidery, and concludes with adventurous contemporary installations.
Entrance to the Gallery is free. Opening hours Mon-Sat 10am-4pm. Most of the work is for sale.
