The owners of The Belgian Monk in Norwich celebrated its 20th anniversary this week and it has been the hardest year yet due to coronavirus, but adapting has been key to its survival.
Business partners Terry Hughes, 59, and Linda Smith, 52, opened the restaurant on Pottergate 20 years ago and it has become one of the city's most popular restaurants, known for its mussels, fries and authentic Belgian beers.
But when the nation went into lockdown they had to quickly find a way to maintain an income, so after two weeks and requests from customers they launched a delivery service of its popular Ter Dolen Kriek cherry beer.
