hand picked restaurants

Originally built as a mill way back in 1750, it first became a restaurant and then moved on to become the hotel that it is today. The Wensum Lodge Hotel provides a breathtaking view of the River Wensum flowing under an ancient bridge and past the front terrace, while a stream gurgles through the rear garden.

Those who love outdoor pursuits are in for a treat, as guests can avail themselves of complimentary fishing, and, if you are lucky, the chef will happily cook your catch for you! The warmly lit restaurant serves British cuisine and customers can dine amidst traditional surroundings.

Located in a quiet courtyard setting, in the heart of Fakenham, D'Inacios offers a modest and tranquil ambiance to enjoy a relaxed and meditative dining out experience. The interior, done up in whites with contrasting dark furniture, creates an airy and spacious feel.

A seasonal à la carte is to hand for lunch and dinner and encompass well the modern interpretations of classic British and European dishes infused with world flavours. Begin with a platter of prosciutto, chorizo, pickled onions and olives, served with a salad, or a goats' cheese and a red onion bruschetta. Follow with baked cod loin or pan seared supreme of local chicken for a hearty meal. Amongst light lunches seared sirloin minute steak and the beer battered fillet of haddock are two good options.

D'Inacios serves exclusive coffees all day, in a south-facing courtyard under, perhaps, the most ancient wisteria to be found in East Anglia.
