Mr Postles’ Apothecary is a cocktail bar and food venue at 2 Upper King Street in Norwich. Its theatrical 1820s apothecary theme gives the room a playful identity, with drinks presented as potions and elixirs. Food service, table bookings and a substantial menu make it suitable for a meal as well as a later evening at the bar.
The food is organised around social dining. Small plates include crispy chilli beef, baked camembert, tempura calamari, pork belly and vegetable choices such as sweet potato and spinach saag aloo. Chicken or cauliflower wings come with a choice of sauces, allowing a table to build a varied spread that works naturally alongside cocktails.
For a fuller meal, burgers range from a cheddar cheeseburger and southern fried chicken to combinations with brisket, pulled pork, brie or chilli jam. Loaded skin on chips add toppings such as three cheeses, pork, vegan chilli or portobello mushroom. The kitchen says dishes are created on site and uses local ingredients wherever possible.
Vegan, vegetarian and gluten free markings make the menu easier to navigate, though guests with allergies should still confirm preparation with staff. Live music on Thursdays and resident DJs at weekends shift the atmosphere as the evening continues. Mr Postles works best for diners who want hearty sharing food, inventive drinks and a lively setting rather than a conventional quiet restaurant.
