The story
Pip’s Norwich operates as a compact Latin kitchen that opens exclusively on Friday and Saturday evenings. Steve Bishop-Laggett oversees the minuscule prep space, designing a short menu that rotates every month. His approach to Latin cuisine prioritizes whole cuts and organ meats, treating each ingredient with deliberate technique. The limited schedule guarantees fresh sourcing and focused execution for every seated guest.
Thick slices of beef tongue pair with tender lamb neck, herby green chorizo, and cowboy beans swimming in a rich bone marrow sauce. A shrimp ceviche tostada cuts through the richness with shredded cabbage, radish, and a sharp cocktail dressing. Cactus fries arrive alongside a prickly pear barbecue glaze, offering a sweet counterpoint to the savory spreads. Each dish reflects a careful balance between rustic Latin cooking and precise plating.
Wood panelled walls display mounted foxes, deer, and various horned animals, creating a gallery-like backdrop for intimate gatherings. Recognized in The Good Food Guide for its consistent quality, this venue caps seating to four guests maximum. Soft Afro-Cuban rhythms play over the speakers while tequilas and Cuban rums rest on the back bar. The weekend-only format keeps the energy focused and the service consistently attentive.
