Snettisham Restaurant Guide

This “Norfolk gem”, a former coaching inn on the north coast, is well-known for chef-patron Kevin Margeolles’s “fantastic, precise and experimental cooking”, “produced with absolute dedication”, while his wife “Jackie is tireless at front of house”. It’s undoubtedly “expensive but worth it”, with “comfortable, very well equipped rooms for an overnight stay” as well.

Norfolk chef Lewis King and wife Aga have “struck a winning balance” at this small ex-coffee shop, whose honours include the GFG’s accolade for Best Local Restaurant in Britain – and where “the atmosphere and décor is nothing outstanding in the best possible way – a simple yet tasteful interior that feels very calm, cosy and welcoming”. In the kitchen, Lewis turns out “extremely high-quality and creative food” (much locally sourced) from short and long set menus, while “passionate yet knowledgeable” Aga ensures a “fantastic” welcome and wines.
