Norfolk-born Tom Kerridge has successfully turned this characterful beamed pub into a world-renowned destination – and as such, you’ll need to book well in advance. Arrive early for a drink beside the log-burning stove in the appealing bar, then head through to the smart, rustic restaurant with low beams, flagged floors and nooks and crannies aplenty. Refined British dishes are elevated to new heights yet remain reassuringly familiar, and the chefs aren’t afraid to push the boundaries while at the same time knowing when to hold back. Sourcing of ingredients is given due reverence, execution is confident and presentation is first-rate. The playful dishes are often the best. For an extra-special occasion book The Shed, an intimate dining space with a special menu prepared by a dedicated team. The luxurious bedrooms are dotted about the town.
