Bodega bringing The Diner to Yalm Food Hall in Norwich

Yalm, in the Royal Arcade, has announced that The Diner will be launching next Tuesday with Edd Watkinson from Bodega at the helm. 

The concept kitchen will offer a range of New York-inspired menu items similar to the sandwiches and street eats they have become known for.
