The 1559 - Broadland

I’ve eaten her a few times in the evening when staying on business at the hotel. Waiting times are generally long and the food pretty average. The starters are particularly underwhelming. A safe bet main is the Sirloin steak. I’d avoid most other options. Most visits start with an apology about what’s not on the menu tonight. As I say, stick with the steak and go elsewhere if staying more than one night. Good luck peeps!

We opted for the three-course meal with a bottle of house wine, priced at £59 per couple. Since I don't consume meat, I requested a salad as my main dish, which was quite mediocre but a good deal for the restaurant. The other main dish was a large steak that was unfortunately tough and flavorless. Despite the restaurant not being too busy, we had to wait thirty minutes for our desserts. Eventually, we had them delivered to our room, but it took another half an hour for them to arrive. The meringues I ordered were disappointingly hard and seemed to be store-bought. Overall, our experience was underwhelming.

The restaurant is in a lovely setting with well-prepared tables and nicely presented tea. The scones were fresh and delicious, and the mini mince pies were enjoyable. However, the sandwiches were a bit dry and could have been better.

We were staying at sprowston manor and we're planning on having a meal with my parents who still live in Norwich, so rather than going out we decided to eat in, I'm glad we did. The staff were delightful, friendly and helpful. I had the scallops with black pudding bonbons which is always a good test of the chef and I have to say they were cooked perfectly, melt in the mouth. The norfolk pork combo was superb with perfectly cooked local carrots. My partner had the salmon with samphire (a Norfolk delicacy and rarity) and again it was perfectly cooked. We rarely have dessert but the menu sounded great. I actually had the chessboard with 3 huge chunks of fantastic cheeses the mousse like quality of the goats cheese was amazing. Highly recommend this place.

Good food and great servıce, a lot of choıce food from breakfast buffet thank you Ersın and breakfast team.
