One of the pleasures of staying at Ormesby Manor is choosing how to spend each day together. You might cook a banquet at the Manor, plan a picnic beside the Broad, or visit one of Norfolk’s many restaurants.

Here are a few local places to explore, from easy breakfasts to special occasions.

Farm Shops and Relaxed Lunches

Colmans Farm is just across the road from the Manor and a lovely place to pick up seasonal vegetables, local produce and something for the table back at the house. For a café stop as well as a browse, Hirst’s Farm Shop & Café in Ormesby St Margaret is a short drive away and offers breakfasts and lunches alongside its farm shop and fishmonger.

For lunch with a view, head to The Waterside at Rollesby Broad, approximately 10 minutes away by car. Its café and terrace make it an inviting stop after exploring the area.

For a meal built around seafood, The White Swan Fish & Seafood combines a fish shop and restaurant on Great Yarmouth’s North Quay, approximately 10–15 minutes away by car.

Make an Evening of It

The Ingham Swan, around 20 minutes away, focuses on seasonal Norfolk ingredients. Further afield, The Gunton Arms is approximately 30 minutes away and brings together local produce, art and its distinctive deer park setting.
