British, Modern Restaurants in Morston
1. Morston Hall
British, Modern restaurant in Morston Holt
“How I love Morston!” – a theme underlying many reports on Galton & Tracy Blackiston’s celebrated destination near the north Norfolk coast: “as usual, it was most enjoyable and relaxing, knowing that we were in the hands of a professional and well-run operation: service was personable and informal, and the cooking from well-balanced menus was confident and the portions exactly right, complemented by well-chosen and imaginative wines”; “and the accommodation is top-notch as well”. But while ratings here remain strong, a couple of long-term fans this year did note a slight tail-off in their experience (“the latter dinner, although very good, was a rather low-key affair and staff were perhaps less pro-active than usual”; “there appeared to have been a significant turnover of staff in the short time since our previous visit”) and it seems likely this is linked to the Blackistons’ aim to retire, with the property being put on the market in April 2024. (Apparently, though, there’s expectation of a smooth transition period as the Blackistons have offered to stay on as consultants to whoever purchases the property).
2. 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.
3. The Moorings
British, Modern restaurant in Blakeney
High Street - NR25
“Superb locally sourced seafood” is the highlight of the menu at this family-run operation founded by Angela Long and her late husband Richard, which has a “carefully built and locally supported reputation over many years” – “value for money and a great attention to detail is a special combination” that “attracts both locals and the many visitors to the North Norfolk coast”.
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. Wiveton Bell
British, Modern restaurant in Wiveton
Blakeney Rd - NR25
This village boozer-with-rooms par excellence overlooking the green was taken over by the Chestnut Group in 2022. While there are those for whom the “favourite” pitstop “has actually been improved since the takeover” and is now a “top-end gastropub”, there are also critics, for whom “the change of ownership has led to a diminution of standards”.
