About Us
Our Story
Owned and managed by husband and wife team Nick and Briony De’Ath, De’Ath Hospitality is the home of some of Norwich’s best-loved pubs, bars and holiday-let accommodation.
With more than thirty years experience in the business, Nick and Briony are still passionate about providing the highest standards of service, an extensive range of drinks, food for every occasion and, with their recently developed holiday-let accommodation, a warm welcome for visitors to Norwich too.
Experience
Nick & Briony De’Ath have been working in hospitality (mostly together!) for over 30 years. We have grown our business from one pub to six – each with their own style, menus and atmosphere but the same high standards – and in 2022 began to offer holiday accommodation too.
We have been at the helm of The Unthank Arms – a landmark Norwich pub – for over 25 years. We are very much ‘hands on’ – we rarely have to ask our fantastic team to do something we haven’t done ourselves! We are involved in every aspect of our businesses from menu planning, sourcing suppliers, recruiting outstanding staff and being on hand to make sure everything runs smoothly. We do, however, place great faith in our teams who share our passion for delivering excellent quality, locally sourced, lovingly prepared food and going the extra mile to exceed our customer’s expectations. Our faith is repaid by the many compliments we receive about our amazing teams!
What We Do
We believe that pubs are the cornerstone of our culture and strive to adapt and bring you new ideas, flavours and trends while maintaining the traditions of a warm welcome, friendly staff, comfortable seating and the chance to socialise.
Our pubs are all different and reflect the sort of places we choose to visit – whether you’re after a top-quality, Cask Marque approved pint, a carefully chosen wine, a cocktail to savour or a coffee with the papers you need look no further. Most of our pubs offer an extensive menu as well as links with some of Norfolk’s most exciting and innovative street-food providers.
We love to travel in the UK and enjoy staying in quirky places in interesting neighbourhoods. We believe we have created two holiday homes in Norwich which will give visitors to the area the perfect starting point to grow to love Norwich as much as we do!
We have a unique three-bedroomed, detached house on Onley Street in the heart of the Golden Triangle and a beautiful apartment above the Red Lion, Bishopgate. Both sleep six guests in comfort and are equipped with everything you’d need from coffee machines to dishwashers! Huge, comfortable beds and luxury linens make any stay a treat whether it’s for work or pleasure.
