Just a stone's throw from the North Norfolk shoreline sits this splendid country house surrounded by well-kept gardens, where you can spot ingredients being grown that will later feature in the constantly evolving tasting menu. Top-notch produce is at the bedrock of the classically based cooking, which often features foraged coastal ingredients, such as the samphire and purslane that give a salty kick to the terrific hake en croûte with a seaweed beurre blanc. Make an event of your visit by staying overnight in the main house or in one of the more modern garden rooms.
