“The Assembly House strikes me as a Norwich landmark, not just a hotel, especially with its roots stretching back to 1754 Georgian architecture. It seems the kind of place where celebrations find a natural home, a backdrop for gatherings large and small. I particularly like the sound of 'Beforenoon Tea'-a playful twist that encapsulates the spirit of the place.”
