A New Start In Norwich

Hello everyone,

My name is Aris and I would like to tell you more about a story that’s recently been on the paper. My other half, G, our business partner, Tom and myself have recently open the doors of the Vagabond Cafe and Pasta House to the public. Our restaurant is located in Norwich, more precisely on the Riverside on the boat that used to be the Thai on the River.

 

The barge has been in Norwich for about thirty years and, together with the Sea Cadets, has been one of the main features of the riverside of this city. The Cadets have left only last week and we are now the only large boat to represent the boating community in the port that Norwich officially is. The restaurant itself has been transformed many times over the years, starting off as a burger place, moving on to Asian cuisine and in particular Thai cuisine until only last year. We found it empty and in decay a few months ago and because of our love for boats and our passion for fresh tasty food, we approached the owner with the idea of opening a new restaurant in it, which he agreed to. We immediately started working hard to fix the inside of the place and make it suitable to cook and serve food in and after three months we can proudly announce to the whole of Norwich that we are ready and full of enthusiasm to make this place again a great feature of the beautiful city that we live in !

 

We are now open for both lunch and dinner with an all‐you‐can‐eat menu of fresh made egg pasta with a variety of authentic Italian sauces prepared with fresh ingredients every day. We pride ourselves with serving food from our own country (that’s right, Italy is where we are from) and sharing with you the amazing experience that delicious food provides. Moreover, we operate as a sit down and take away cafe all day long and play all kinds of exquisite music in the evenings, ranging from classical guitar solos to local jazz band performances .

 

We hope you’ll appreciate our passion, be intrigued by our idea and overwhelmed by curiosity to come and pay us a visit. We’ll be waiting with open arms !

Welcome to the forum 'Appleteabee' and I hope your new venture goes well, for you all. I'll look forward to nipping in, when next in Norwich. I absolutely adore good freshly made pasta and sauces... :1_grinning:

I wish you every success.  Have you thought about tidying the boat up from the river - it looks a mess and not so inviting (Or it did if you have already done it)  We will be in Norwich this summer onboard 'B.A' so we may get a chance to call in

Thank you everyone for your support, I hope to see you all soon to have a taste of some very special food ;) 

Griff, I know the boat doesn't look great from the outside, but we're working on it and will soon replace the cladding. Our main asset at the moment is the food and that's why I'm inviting everyone to come in, be it to eat or have a look and a chat (the inside actually looks quite smart). The main idea is to make the boat a feature of the city again and we're planning to start by spreading the word that our food is worth trying. The esthetics will be improved as soon as possible :)
