Sip, savour, and linger beside the Norfolk Broads with a menu that follows the seasons, celebrates local growers, and invites you to slow down over beautifully crafted plates.
Our chefs work closely with Norfolk producers, fishermen, and growers to create a menu that shifts gently with the tides and seasons, from vibrant starters to comforting mains and indulgent desserts.
Celebrating the freshest local produce
From the first spears of spring asparagus to autumn’s slow-braised meats, every dish is designed to feel both familiar and quietly surprising. Expect vibrant vegetables, day-boat fish, and thoughtfully sourced meats, all plated with an eye for colour, texture, and balance.
A curated multicourse experience
For those who love to linger over every course, our Chef’s Tasting Journey offers a leisurely progression of plates that showcase house signatures, refined techniques, and stories from our kitchen and local suppliers.
Available on selected evenings, this journey can be paired with a tailored wine flight from our cellar. Please advise us of any dietary requirements when booking so we can shape the experience to you.
Our menu is designed to flow effortlessly, whether you are joining us for a relaxed lunch on the terrace or a lingering dinner by candlelight.
Refined beginnings
Begin your dining experience with light, lively flavours. You might find Norfolk beetroot carpaccio with toasted hazelnuts, house-cured salmon with citrus and pickled fennel, or a comforting bowl of seasonal soup served with warm bread.
Menus change regularly, but every starter is crafted to awaken the palate without overwhelming it.
Heart of the table
Our mains celebrate generous, comforting flavours with a modern touch. Popular dishes include slow-cooked lamb shoulder with rosemary and garlic, pan-seared sea bass with coastal herbs, and seasonal vegetarian creations that make vegetables the star.
Many dishes can be adapted on request; simply speak to your server and we will gladly guide you.
A gentle, indulgent close
Bring your meal to a graceful close with rhubarb panna cotta, a lush dark chocolate fondant with seasonal accompaniments, or a British cheeseboard with chutneys and crackers.
Desserts are thoughtfully portioned, ideal to share or to savour alongside a glass from our dessert wine list.
Thoughtful dishes for younger diners
We welcome families and younger guests with a dedicated selection of dishes created to be both enticing and balanced. Expect smaller portions of house favourites, alongside gentle flavours designed with children in mind.
We are always happy to adjust seasoning or accompaniments; please let us know what would make your child feel most at home.
Creative, considered choices for every guest
Vegan, vegetarian, and allergy-friendly dishes receive the same care and attention as our signature plates. Chefs work with naturally flavourful ingredients — from hearty grains and pulses to vibrant seasonal vegetables — to create dishes that feel abundant and satisfying.
Please share any dietary needs at the time of booking or with your server on arrival. Wherever possible, we tailor dishes to suit gluten-free, dairy-free, and other specific requirements.
Our cellar has been curated to complement the kitchen: expressive wines, local ales, and craft beverages chosen to highlight the flavours on your plate.
From crisp, mineral whites to elegant reds and celebratory sparkling wines, our list focuses on producers who share our respect for land and craft. You will also find a considered selection of dessert wines and digestifs for a leisurely finish.
Ask our team for pairing suggestions to match your chosen dishes, or explore our dedicated wine page for more detail.
Alongside fine wines, we pour local ales, carefully mixed cocktails, and low- and no-alcohol choices. Presses, juices, and soft drinks feature British producers, while our coffee and tea service offers a calming close to your meal.
We are delighted to recommend beverages that suit your tastes, whether you favour something bold, bright, or subtly aromatic.
From riverside Sunday lunches to intimate celebrations, we offer tailored menus to match the moment.
For celebrations and business events
For private groups, our team crafts set menus that balance seasonal highlights with guest favourites. Whether you are planning a family celebration, a milestone birthday, or a discreet business dinner, we work with you to shape a menu that feels personal and welcoming.
To discuss private dining, please contact us with your preferred date, approximate guest numbers, and any special requests.
Classic roasts by the river
On Sundays, the restaurant fills with the comforting aroma of slow-roasted meats and caramelised vegetables. Look forward to traditional roasts served with seasonal sides, rich gravy, and all the trimmings, alongside lighter options and vegetarian centrepieces.
Sunday lunch is a popular occasion — we recommend reserving in advance to secure your preferred seating time.
Al fresco moments on the water’s edge
On warmer days, selected menu items are available on our riverside terrace, where you can watch boats drift along the Norfolk Broads as you dine. Think sharing plates, seasonal salads, and chilled drinks enjoyed in the open air.
Terrace availability is weather dependent. For the latest information and sample terrace menus, explore our terrace page.

Rooted in Norfolk, mindful of our footprint
Every menu begins with our relationships: with local farmers, fishermen, foragers, and artisans who share our respect for the land and waterways surrounding the Norfolk Broads. We favour seasonal produce, responsible fishing, and suppliers who prioritise animal welfare.
In the kitchen, we work to minimise waste through careful menu planning, creative use of ingredients, and thoughtful portioning. Our wine and beverage list also reflects this ethos, with a preference for producers who farm sustainably and bottle with care.
If you would like to know more about a particular ingredient or producer, our team will be pleased to share the story behind your plate.
Whether you are joining us for an unhurried Sunday lunch, a celebratory tasting journey, or a simple supper by the water, we would be delighted to welcome you.
