Norfolk is a veritable gastronome's paradise with more than its fair share of delights for foodies with the Fisherman's Return being a good example. Located in a traditional 17th century brick and flint dwelling made up of a row of fisherman's cottages, complete with red pantile roof, the heart lifts on first sighting, and thoughts of a decent pint of Adnams and honest English country cooking quicken the heartbeat. And unlike some other mirages, it's all true.

Traditional dishes such as fish pie with cod and prawns in a white sauce, topped off with potato and cheese set the pace, and these are only the starters. It should hardly be necessary to remind oneself that here, seafood is king so keep a weather eye on the specials board with crab, lobster, mussels and a positive cornucopia of fish that come and go with the boats and the tides. Service is friendly and unpretentious and the wine comes from a list that is relatively modest and at ease with the surroundings.
