Local ales from local breweries supporting and championing small businesses around Norfolk.

We bake, grill, smoke, cure and roast some of the best local produce we can find from artisan producers, growers and farmers because we love local, support independent and are passionate about fresh food.

From making pasta to baking bread and using fresh local game and seafood, we always try to start from scratch with the abundance of amazing produce found in Norfolk. Where we use inspirational produce from other artisan suppliers, we endeavour to find the best and showcase their flavours and talent.

Spread across five decadent areas, our restaurant, garden, pagoda, den and courtyard are perfect for a moment of escapism, hidden away in the Norfolk countryside. A casual get together between friends at lunch, a romantic meal for two in the evening or watching rugby with family over a perfectly cooked roast dinner.
