Our lovely open-plan restaurant has traditional oak-beams and contemporary furnishings with a harmonious and relaxing ambience. The perfect setting for you to enjoy a romantic dinner, family celebration or night out with friends.
Our Head Chef and his brigade are passionate about food. Every dish on the frequently changing menu is freshly prepared from the finest ingredients – locally sourced wherever possible.
Norfolk is rich in great produce and our kitchen’s philosophy is based on seasonality, provenance and flavour. Game, fish, meat and vegetables are chosen with care daily. We have a close relationship with the finest suppliers in the county and they know that we insist on buying the best. We don’t do run-of-the-mill at The Parson but we do believe in offering great food cooked with passion and flair.
Special dietary requirements are all happily catered for. Please advise when making your reservation.

    The food was great and big portion size. The service was slower than expected. The catering staff did not inform which items on the menu were sold out until after the order was placed.

    Had the venison. So tough I couldn’t cut it. Waited for someone to come to the table to ask if all was ok but they were busy and no one came until we were all finished. I would have asked for a replacement meal. They did offer a complimentary drink but I was driving so declined. In the end they removed the cost of the meal. Went home hungry as all I had to eat was a very small amount of potato and vegetables. Portions could be bigger

    2 courses for £16.95 good value but on the day the Chicken Carbonara was very oily which spoilt the meal. My wife who is vegetarian struggles with the lunch menu as we have been a couple of times and that would be nice to be offered something different, think it's time for a menu refresh, especially with new owners.

    We enjoyed lovely Sunday lunch in very pleasant surroundings, with very obliging and affable service. Prices were around the average for eating out at a ‘gastro” pub these days. We’d be very happy to return!
