They said: 'Housed in a listed building in the heart of historic Norwich, this restaurant is cosy and comfortable, with romantic tables for two tucked into hidden corners, plus leather banquettes, and original artworks on the walls.

'Roger Hickman's Restaurant is Norwich's fine dining destination, holding a prestigious 3 Rosette Award and a Notable Wine List award, both from the AA.'

Roger Hickman commented: 'We are delighted to be picked as one of the top ten romantic restaurants in Britain. It's a real boost for Norwich as well, which has a growing national reputation as a city for that romantic break.

'We really hope that people who think we should win the top spot will vote for us in the poll – with Valentine's day coming up, it would be a real boost for local, independent restaurants in Norwich as a whole.'
