Welcome to The Ingham Swan.
I invite you to discover our 3 AA Rosette, Michelin Recommended restaurant in North East Norfolk, just minutes from the coast. It’s a place where I grew up and where I developed an insatiable appetite for the finest, freshest food.
We offer fine dining in a relaxed setting, with the character of our historic building providing a backdrop that is unmistakably The Ingham Swan. We have a cast-iron commitment to seasonality and take great pride in creating dishes that make the most of what each season has to offer.
Our kitchen is led by Head Chef Jordan Caswell, Norfolk & Suffolk Chef of the Year 2026, working alongside me and our team to create menus rooted in Norfolk and shaped by experience, creativity and the very best seasonal produce.
Our menus evolve constantly across Lunch & Dinner Du Jour, À La Carte, Taster and Sunday dining, bringing together Ingham Swan favourites alongside new dishes and flavours.
Whether you’re joining us to dine or staying a little longer in one of our rooms, we look forward to welcoming you to The Ingham Swan.
our Restaurant
Relaxed fine dining in an intimate setting. A restaurant with roots. Our kitchen uses hand selected seasonal produce straight from the soil.
Menus
Menus are regularly reimagined featuring dishes that are made with hand-selected produce from trusted farmers and growers. Each dish leaving the kitchen is thoughtfully designed so every element on the plate has an integral role in showcasing the best quality produce across our menus. Our locally-inspired menu changes daily across our Du Jour, A La Carte, Taste of Norfolk (Taster) and weekly on Sundays featuring Ingham Swan favourites.
Please note these are sample menus therefore we can’t guarantee these dishes when you dine with us.
Seasonal Set Menus | Special Menus
At the end of your meal, any optional service charge that you leave is a direct reward for the team who made your experience special. We therefore ensure that 100% of the service charge goes to the team in the restaurant where it was given. It is entirely your choice whether or not to pay this service charge.
our Rooms
Luxury Norfolk accommodation with seven bespoke ensuite rooms where you can take time to relax and unwind.
AA 5-Star Silver Rated Rooms
Four of our rooms are located off the central courtyard in the converted coach house, just a few steps from the restaurant. Or opt to stay in one of our three contemporary Superior King rooms, with feature bathrooms located in our Norfolk cottage, just a short stroll around the corner from the restaurant in our self-contained cottage accommodation. Our rooms are the perfect place to contentedly sleep off a memorable meal and make the perfect extension to your dining experience. Wake refreshed to enjoy a carefully-curated breakfast to set you up for the day the following morning.
our Kitchen
We live and love the finest and freshest food where smell ends and taste begins. Inventive cooking - a tribute to modern British cuisine. We cultivate a nurturing environment, so that talent flourishes and our chefs feel inspired.
Daniel Smith

Norfolk-born, Daniel has an impressive track record over the last 30 years which includes working for the acclaimed Michel Roux Jr at the two Michelin starred London restaurant, Le Gavroche before moving back to Norfolk to work with another renowned chef - Galton Blackiston at Morston Hall where Daniel achieved his first Michelin Star as Head Chef, aged 23.
