The Pantry - Jarrolds' first restaurant - is preparing for its next chapter...
The Pantry has long been the perfect spot for a relaxed lunch, a catch-up with friends, or simply tea and cake. As the first restaurant in our historic department store, it has offered a welcoming place to pause and unwind for guests.
The Pantry’s success over time means its beginning to see signs of wear. A refresh is needed to restore its vibrancy, ensuring the environment matches the quality and popularity it continues to enjoy.
Now undergoing an exciting refurbishment, The Pantry is being reimagined by designer Vicky Allison from Urban Interiors, the first business supported this year by the Jarrold Growth Fund. While the space will reveal a fresh new look, it will retain the same charm, warm welcome, and hearty food its guests know and love.
New Design: Norfolk's Pantry
Rooted in our love for the Norfolk countryside and a true appreciation for all things local, this concept draws inspiration from the natural beauty, heritage, and character of the surrounding landscape. Vicky’s vision thoughtfully blends earthy tones with layered textures and warm wooden accents, creating a look that feels both grounded and inviting.
Natural materials and tactile finishes play a key role, adding depth and subtle interest throughout the space, while maintaining a calm and cohesive aesthetic. Soft, organic colours echo the fields, coastline, and open skies of Norfolk, bringing a sense of the outdoors in.

“It’s an incredible honour to be the first business selected for Jarrold 2025 Growth Fund. This opportunity will have a lasting impact on my studio’s development. The support and belief Jarrolds have shown in me, and my vision means so much, and I can’t wait to make the most of the training to push my creative boundaries even further.” - Vicky Allison

The Future of Norfolk's Pantry
Norfolk's Pantry will continue to celebrate the food our customers know and love, with no dramatic changes to the menu. Much-loved favourites, including hearty hot breakfasts, traditional lunch options, and the convenient self-service, will remain at the heart of the experience, ensuring familiarity and consistency for returning visitors.
Alongside these staples, Norfolk's Pantry will introduce a selection of lighter, healthier breakfast options, responding to growing demand for more balanced choices. Guests will also be able to enjoy a new build-your-own artisan sandwich offer, allowing for greater personalisation while showcasing quality, locally inspired ingredients.
At its core, the purpose of Norfolk's Pantry remains unchanged - to provide a wide choice of fresh, flavourful dishes, all prepared with a focus on health and seasonality. By continuing to champion locally sourced, seasonal produce, the offering stays true to its roots while evolving in thoughtful, customer-led ways.
