Featured Salthouse Restaurants
1. Morston Hall
British, Modern restaurant in Morston Holt
“A favourite place in Norfolk” – “Galton Blackiston and team continue to be at the top of their game” at this highly commented-on destination (amongst the top 50 outside the capital in terms of the volume of feedback in our annual diners’ poll) near the north Norfolk coast, where the “conservatory-style dining room overlooking the gardens is a lovely setting”. A favourite choice for a gastronomic break, “the wide repertoire of outstanding tasting menus changes every day” (seven courses for £135 per person): “reliably wonderful food” from “locally sourced produce” with “exceptional presentation” and “portions that are just right”. But while all the many reports it attracts rate it well this year, a number also note that “sadly prices have risen, and it seems really expensive now”.
2. Dun Cow
British, Traditional restaurant in Salthouse
Purdy St - NR25
This “thoroughly reliable pub” is “just a short stroll from the coast” with views across the salt marshes. “Everything works well despite the casual, almost laid-back approach”, while “the imaginative menu is definitely a notch above the pub norm”.
3. Wiveton Bell
British, Modern restaurant in Wiveton
Blakeney Rd - NR25
Overlooking the green, this village pub-with-rooms was acquired by East Anglia’s Chestnut Group in 2022. Some reports this year suggest that “things have started to slip” under the new regime, and that what “used to be a favourite” is “no longer quite as special as it once was”, but “at its best, the food is excellent” still (and, despite the critiques, its locally sourced pub classics have so far retained their Bib Gourmand).
4. Wiveton Hall Cafe
British, Modern restaurant in Holt
1 Marsh Lane - NR25
2021 Review: Fans are “happy to report the continued success and popularity of owner Desmond’s venture on the north Norfolk coast” – lionised in a BBC TV series, and combining “really good freshly cooked” farm food with “lots of outside space to run around in”.
5. The Moorings
British, Modern restaurant in Blakeney
High Street - NR25
A “great-value” menu featuring plenty of fresh fish, along with local meat and game, has attracted a loyal following for this “very friendly” family-run North Norfolk venue over more than 20 years. Co-chef/founder Angela Long has ensured that standards remain high since the loss of her husband, Richard, two years ago.
6. Meadowsweet
British, Modern restaurant in Holt
37 Norwich Road - NR25
“Holt in Norfolk is a jewel of a market town, and Meadowsweet is a little jewel of a restaurant with rooms” that’s won acclaim as “a superb addition to the county” since its 2021 launch by Greg Anderson and Rebecca Williams. “Service is personal and spot on” and “the house and dining room feel warm and friendly without trying to be bleeding edge”. When it comes to the “ambitious” ten-course menu for £130 per person – “every dish is thoughtful and delicious” with “chefs all working out of a tiny space and involved in introducing the courses”. “Prices seem to have risen sharply since they got their Michelin star, but we think it’s worth it!” – “worth the journey… bravo!”
7. Anchor Inn
British, Modern restaurant in Morston
The Street - NR25
2021 Review: “Relaxed, friendly” and a “brilliant pub”, just along the coast from Blakeney, which was taken over by old school friends in 2011, and swiftly given a retro, nautical refurb’; the “delicious menu” takes in local north Norfolk catch and game.
