Saracen's Head

Located at the gates of Wolterton Hall, one of Norfolk's best hidden historic homes, the Saracen's Head comes as a pleasant surprise with an ever changing menu and a lively range of dishes with which to delight those prepared to hack their way into the more remote parts of this idyllic county.

Robert Dawson-Smith and his kitchen team produce some interesting dishes, changing even between lunch and dinner each day, starters or snacks could consist of Morston mussels with cider and cream or the addictive regulars' favourite of crispy fried aubergines with garlic mayonnaise or crostini of marinated anchovies.

Main courses always include several fish, meat, and serious vegetarian options, such as medallions of Gunton venison with red fruit or seared scallops with rosemary and cream or baked avocado, apple, tomato and mozzarella. Those in the know keep room for their wonderful, though highly calorific, puddings, like old fashioned treacle tart; brown bread and butter pudding or rich baileys and dark chocolate pot with orange jus.

There is a world ranging wine list on a bottle. And if you can't face the drive home through the lanes there are rooms at the Inn too!
