Enjoy winter warmer dishes washed down with a mulled wine in the secret courtyard at a Norwich hotel, which has been decorated for Christmas.

The Maids Head Hotel switches up its heated courtyard space every season to keep things fresh.

It uses local design business Smoke and Wildwood and the winter theme includes Christmas trees, fairy lights and table lanterns, with extra blankets provided too.

Dishes on the winter warmer menu include baked camembert with a sundried tomato and olive topping served with toasted ciabatta bread and roast turkey in a brioche bun with chips and coleslaw.

The sweet treats are warm mini mince pies and festive cake bites and the hot drinks include hot toddy, mulled wine and a Bailey's or regular hot chocolate.

The courtyard is open to everyone for food and drink, not just hotel guests, and the previous theme was an autumnal one with a red, orange and yellow colour scheme and pumpkins.
