A new dining space inside a converted Norwich church will launch with a menu featuring Scandinavian and Italian influences.

The Potting Shed is based inside St Simon and St Jude Church in Elm Hill, which is home to the award-winning theatre company Curious Directive.

As well as using their unique venue for performances, they launched the Botanical Garden Bar in 2020, serving drinks and pizzas, in response to the pandemic.

Due to its success, this has continued to run over the summer months and they have now built on this with a permanent indoor dining area. 

The Potting Shed will launch with a four-week residency from local chef Meg Greenacre, who also worked on their hit show Gastronomic.
