Norfolk Restaurant Week

We’re taking part in Norfolk Restaurant Week this November. Join us from 2nd–6th and 9th–13th November for a special set menu, bringing together seasonal dishes and the good food you know us for. Fires lit, a warm pub and a table full of good food – a great excuse for a midweek lunch or dinner.

A Proper Pour

Whether you know your wine or just fancy a decent glass, there’s plenty to get stuck into on our list. We’ve got the easy favourites, bottles from smaller makers, a few less familiar grapes worth trying, and wines with a bit of age and character behind them. Pull up a chair, have a look through, and find something that suits the moment.
