A hit city pub and hotel is set to celebrate 10 "fantastic" years in business.

The Georgian Townhouse has been a hit destination at the top of Norwich's Unthank Road for a decade.

Run by The City Pub Group, which is also behind The Cliftonville in Cromer and The Hoste Arms in Burnham Market, the business is set to celebrate its birthday with a weekend of events.

"The Georgian Townhouse is continuing to grow, which is fantastic," said general manager Isabelle Simpson.

Isabelle, 29, joined as the manager three months ago, having left The Swan in Ingham and with experience at the Wildebeest and Dunston Hall.

"It has been a really exciting time to come into the business," she said.

"We are heading into our prime era, especially with weddings, with 58 booked for 2024.

"It's one of the busiest years we've had yet."

Way back before the Georgian Townhouse was a restaurant and hotel it was a school, then a war hospital, and then a steak restaurant, before undergoing a major renovation and reopening to customers in June 2014.

However, the work hasn't stopped there, with the site continuing to undergo renovations in the following years.

"We have recently renovated our garden space, which can now seat up to 480 people, and unveiled our Stables Bar, which is a function space that can seat up to 60 guests," said Isabelle.

"We have further renovations planned for early next year but are still considering where we might work on.

"While nothing is set in stone, we are looking at revamping our restaurant, bar area and reception. 

"We are putting the heart back into the Georgian Townhouse and want people to know that this is the place to be.

"I'm looking forward to leading it into a more prominent position."

Across the weekend, customers will be able to enjoy canapes, frozen rosés and negronis - which Isabelle describes as "cool and funky" - and a 'family fun-day' on Sunday with outside games, a bouncy castle and a craft hut running all afternoon.
