A Norwich Breakfast Institution

Located at 61 Heigham Street, this modest diner embodies the spirit of traditional English breakfast establishments, where quality ingredients and consistent execution matter far more than trendy décor or marketing.The Classic Full English
The menu centres on the iconic full English breakfast, featuring plump, juicy pork sausages, crispy bacon cooked on the griddle, black pudding, fried eggs with runny yolks, deep-fried mushrooms, tinned tomatoes, baked beans, and fried bread. Each component is prepared with meticulous attention to detail—the fried bread emerges golden and crispy without excess oil, eggs are cooked to perfection, and portions are genuinely generous.

This exceptional value, combined with the quality and portion size, means most diners won't need to eat again until evening. The diner operates Monday through Friday from 7:30am to 1:30pm, and Saturdays from 7:30am to 11:30am, making it accessible for early risers and those seeking a substantial breakfast before their day begins.Why Harty's Endures
