Chef Andrew Jones returned to his Norfolk origins seven years ago after working for Richard Corrigan and Claude Bosi, to open this modern venue that “never fails” with its locally sourced meals – “we love going there for lunch”. He and his partner, Hannah, also ran The Dial House restaurant-with-rooms in Reepham for five years, before selling up in autumn 2023.

Chef-patron Andrew Jones learnt his trade alongside star chefs such as Richard Corrigan and Claude Bosi before launching this local/seasonal venture with his partner Hannah; it recently scooped three AA rosettes, and reporters had some accordingly “exquisite” dishes here. The owners also run Norfolk restaurant-with-rooms The Dial House, which doubles as an antiques and vintage store.

From Hannah Springham & Andrew Jones, also behind Dial House in Reepham, this contemporary bistro (est. 2017) is “such a lovely place to come and eat” and stands out even on a “street with many acceptable restaurants”; “the décor is minimalist” (it can be a tad “noisy” as a result) but is atoned for by an “interesting menu making great use of fresh local produce”.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
