Welcome to The Ingham Swan.

I invite you to discover our 3 AA Rosette, Michelin Recommended Restaurant located in North East Norfolk just minutes from the coast. It’s a place where I grew up, where I developed an insatiable appetite for the finest and freshest food. 

We offer fine dining in a relaxed, show-stopping setting thanks to our heritage building. We’ve got a cast-iron commitment to seasonality, taking great pride in bringing dishes together that embrace every season. Our locally-inspired menu changes daily across our Lunch & Dinner Du Jour, A La Carte, Taster and Sunday Lunch; featuring Ingham Swan favourites, brand new dishes as well as ideas and flavours from my time on BBC2’s Great British Menu as well as from time spent in the kitchens of leading London restaurants. 

So whether you are dining with us, or stopping over in one of our rooms, we’ll do all we can to ensure your Ingham Swan experience is a memorable one.
