We are a family run business passionate about engaging with the local community and creating unforgettable moments. Our belief is that excellent produce does not travel and we pride ourselves on using the finest that East Anglia has to offer.

The property boasts a 32 cover restaurant space, within this, a 12 seater private dining/conference room. Serving seasonal and ever changing menus all year round.

Since taking over the business in 2022, we have made the addition of our outdoor space, with a large enough footprint for an 80 seater stretch tent. The soft bark flooring, picnic benches and pergola, make both an ideal and flexible location for both team building activities and family events.

Our ambition is to create a truly immersive experience where you can both feel at home after a long day of meetings or spoil yourself as part of an indulgent staycation. With eleven beautifully decorated and well equipped bedrooms nestled next to our intimate restaurant, which is situated at the heart of this original coaching inn. The wooden beams and Hypnos beds come together in merging the old with the new.

This extension to our main restaurant space, built using reclaimed timbers, really does feel like a marry into the history of the building. The versatile space can hold private parties or meetings on a boardroom style table up to 12 guests. Along with flexibility to be completely screened off from the rest of the restaurant with soundproofing doors. It can be used for conferencing or parties requiring privacy, as well as having the option for the doors to be completely opened to share the atmosphere of the main restaurant.

For corporate usage, our main restaurant serves lunch to the public Thursday through Sunday. Giving you an option to use this space for break outs or an assurance of privacy during your daytime agenda. Package Description: We believe that no two events are the same. Every guest has a different specification of what they require, their budget and agenda.

With that, we aim to offer a completely bespoke package. Room hire starting from £150, with as many or as few extras you would wish to add. Buffet or Set lunch options, A La Carte or Set Menu dinner options, bedroom accommodation, Tea, Coffee and other refreshments. All tailored to your needs.

    Fantastic meal, service that went above and beyond and food with some real memorable moments. Such a special evening spent dining here, we felt so well looked after - especially me being pregnant and my many dietary requirements - they knew exactly what would work and what wouldn’t and no question or ask was too much. There was a perfect amount of food theatre that not only made for some special moments that we’ll remember for a really long time but also weren’t just there for the look - they really added something special to the dish. Clearly the menu has been incredibly well thought through. Fantastic meal, wonderful wine flight (for the husband!) with some excellent wine stories. Would definitely recommend for a special evening

    What an amazing experience! The food was a solid 10/10, and the service went above and beyond — truly an 11/10. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable, making the entire experience feel special and memorable. It wasn’t just a meal; it was an experience. We can’t wait to return!

    Wow,Wow,Wow. Please do not overlook this venue it is absolutely a superior place to stay and eat. We went there for a very sentimental celebration and the host blow us away with there kindness, understanding and we could not fault anything. If you like fine dining with food that blows your mind this is the place. The host knowledge of wines, foods and also of the area is above and beyond. The accommodation was immaculate very clean and comfortable, quite and has everything you need. Lovely having the bar open all day to grab a drink of hot coffee liquor after a walk with the dogs. Treat yourself small venue that packs a big punch. Well done to all the staff you have it nailed.

    An overnight stay perfect in every way. Beautiful food - in house dry aged beef and veg picked from their lovely garden. Having been to the local "competition" in the region, there is simply no competition. Cozy rooms and top tier service all round. Can't wait to come back in the new year. Thanks Jake, Katy and staff!

    We booked Sunday lunch to celebrate my fiancé's birthday and couldn't have been more pleased. From the moment we walked in we were really impressed by the staff, everyone we spoke to was friendly and professional. The atmosphere was lovely but most importantly of all the food was first class. Overall, can't recommend enough, top marks to everyone involved you are a real credit to your business. Great food at very reasonable prices.
