Located next to the historic Church Tower of St. Michaels in Beccles is the acclaimed Swan House restaurant which brings a decadent European touch to the culinary scene of this charming town. Since opening in 1993, they have come to represent fine Anglo-International cuisine served in a relaxed and laidback atmosphere, with cosy log fires in the winter, whilst the terrace and whitewashed courtyard offering delightful al fresco options.

A typical à la carte menu could bring you starters of pan-fried breast of pigeon served with parmesan croutons and beetroot chutney followed by a main course of beef cheek served with fresh asparagus, potato and carrot purées on a rich cabernet sauce. Rich desserts, the likes of a Belgian chocolate bread and butter pudding served with crème Anglaise and dark chocolate sauce, can easily do away with any plans you might have had of sticking to a diet. Over 50 wines from across the world make their presence felt in the drinks list, which also features international bottled beers.
