Plan a Spring City Break in Norwich
If you are looking for the perfect Spring city break in Norwich, the historic Maids Head Hotel offers an ideal base from which to explore this vibrant and beautiful city.
We currently have two tempting packages designed to help you make the most of your stay in Norwich. Choose between our two-night Shardlake Break, inspired by C.J. Sansom’s famous novel set in Tudor Norwich, or our one-night Stay and Dine package. Both breaks include the opportunity to enjoy dinner in our award-winning WinePress Restaurant, making your Norwich escape as indulgent as it is memorable.
Our Bobbin Bikes are available for guests to borrow to plan their own adventure, helmets and hi-viz jackets all provided complimentary. Remember to ask if our chauffeur is available to take you on a spin in one of our vintage Bentleys around our Fine City.

Dining is a highlight of any Norwich city break, and the WinePress Restaurant delivers a true Rosette dining experience. Guests dine from our seasonal menu, where Head Chef Alistair Grand and his talented kitchen brigade showcase the exceptional produce found on our doorstep. From fresh seasonal ingredients to carefully sourced local specialities, the dishes celebrate the flavours of the region.
Our Front of House team are equally proud to present a thoughtfully curated wine list featuring wines from local vineyards, alongside a drinks menu offering locally distilled gins, vodkas and whiskies. Beer lovers can also sample locally brewed ales, including our own lager, 1287, named after the year the earliest mention of the inn — then known as the Murtle Fish Tavern — appeared in Norwich court records.
