This is probably as good as you will get eating in East Anglia. I’ve been here a few times over the last few years, and it gets better each time. There is a large bar and pre-meal waiting area. There are a number of menus, featuring seasonable and mainly local food. There is some very skilful cooking going on in... More

Have been here before but not for a while. Today it was Sunday Lunch and as usual it was just excellent. For starters I had goats cheese, one portion cooked and one portion cold served with a little apple and hazelnut. My husband had what I would call a Scotch Egg with a difference!
