From the outside, this village inn looks like just another traditional Victorian boozer, but inside it has been thoroughly rejuvenated & gently remodelled – complete with smart bedrooms & a separate restaurant housed in a clean-cut converted barn with a vaulted ceiling, oak trusses & wooden floors. The kitchen takes its cue from Norfolk’s seasonal larder for a menu of confident modern ideas: lamb loin might be accompanied by a rosemary rösti, braised savoy cabbage, smoked garlic jus & artichoke purée, while Morston cockles turn up in a dish of steamed cod fillet with brown butter & creamed leeks. Back in the pub, the bar menu promises crowd-pleasing staples (burgers, chicken pie, vegetable curry) & a smattering of on-trend tapas – perhaps haddock goujons with chorizo & basil aïoli.
