Farmyard

"The bold green exterior makes this fresh-faced bistro hard to miss. As its name suggests, the cooking centres on unadulterated local ingredients, and at the heart of the on-view kitchen is a Big Bertha charcoal oven, which adds plenty of flavour to the various meats and fish. For dessert, the Farmyard Chocolate Bar is a perennial favourite. The lunch menu represents good value." - Michelin Inspector

We were impressed. We enjoyed the food. It was obvious the ingredients are fresh and locally sourced. We ordered from the set menu, 3 courses for £30pp. I had the ham hock terrine and my wife the French onion soup to start, we both enjoyed these. We had the duck for main, which was cooked perfectly, it fell apart in the mouth. We also shared some chips, they were very good. For dessert we had the dark chocolate and amaretto delice, this was amazing. The service was excellent and the atmosphere quiet and calm. Food is expensive here, but portion sizes are good and food quality is to a good standard. We would recommend.

Really good food and a groovy place. Stopped here for some lunch and would recommend a visit. Only reason atmosphere is a 4 is because we went on a weekday and it was quite quiet in there. We got the set lunch menu. 1 with Gnocchi for the main which was delicious and fresh, the other with a fish cake which was also very nice. They have the lunch portion sizes down to a T as we left feeling satisfied but not too full that we needed an afternoon nap.

A quiet lunchtime service on a Tuesday, but attentive enough to make the meal a pleasure. Food was good, with great local ingredients and good flavours. Amazing artwork on the wall by local and Scrawl Collective member, Will Barras too, which makes the establishment a visual delight too. Something many establishments cannot claim. A definite recommend, should you be in the vicinity.

Amazing experience. The food is fantastic from the ideas to the plating to the flavours. The chocolate bar didn't fail to live up to it's name. If I had one suggestion, that would be to be more descriptive in the menu of where the ingredients come from for each dish. For a restaurant that boasts about local ingredients, it's nice to know more about exactly that. We loved the whole experience though.

Had a great Friday lunch with my mom. Comfort and delicious food. May set menu was definately worth it! Hope to come back again while next time visiting Norfolk ☺️

Visited for the first time with family and friends. The food was exceptional, good size portion for me, incredible taste and presentation! The service quite relaxed, not disturbing you every 5 minutes to check in with you. We were amongst first clients, the service seemed a bit slow, but it did not really bothered me. They have a good variaty of beverage. The atmosphere at the table was lovely, but music too loud and the style playing didn't really fit in (club style music) which personally I didn't mind, but I believe a jazz or somthing smooth would have been in better sync with the place. The chairs not too comfortable, and nowhere to put your coats (I had a long coat and the chairs are low). Some degree of child friendliness, but not really suitable for toddlers, very few options of meals @dinner time (in our case), mine had a sandwich and other bits brought from home. However, they have baby highchairs. Overall, I believe it was a nice experience and I would gladly visit again!

Nice meal and the waiter was friendly. I didn't rate it 5 stars because the triple cooled chips were too dry (more like crisps) and the mayo was less than a tablespoon size. The pork collar was okay but a tiny part pink (pork must be fully cooked because their meat ican easily house a parasite) Overall, a good pricey restaurant for hanging out.

I think perhaps I expected too much from my visit. I had the crab starter, tasty but small. Then we shared a cote de beuf. I was surprised neither the waiter nor the kitchen staff knew what breed the steak was. It was cooked to perfection with a great crust but rather grizzly and a bit tough. Can't blame the restaurant for this, but I do think serving balsamic glazed shallots on tops is a mistake as it overly influences the flavour of the meat. The wine was an average tasting malbec, and I have had much better at a similar price point. One further observation, the steak knives were possibly the worst I have ever used. I might have been better off with a butter knife. I'm glad I checked it off my list of places to visit.
