Went on a Sunday with family. Outstanding food, including possibly the best roast I've ever eaten. Service started off well when we were one of two tables in the restaurant but as the restaurant filled up the staff were overwhelmed, and there weren't enough staff in the floor to provide the level of service that the setting and food warranted. Would definitely go again though if nearby.

A delightful find, but very well hidden! I booked NEST Farmhouse for a Valentines dinner, and - driving there through unlit and unmarked roads on a dark and snowy night - left full and happy. While the outside of the building is slightly confusing, looking more like a hotel than a restaurant, the inside is warm and welcoming, with a large hearth at one end. We were seen and seated immediately by our friendly waitress (Abbie), and offered the night’s specials. For a starter, I ordered the parsnip and apple soup which was thick, hearty and delicious, but not enough to spoil my appetite for the main course. We had both ordered the beef with the root vegetables and garlic potatoes. All the meats were locally produced, which you could tell, given the juicy taste and texture - just the way I like and ordered it. For dessert, I ordered the apple crumble, while my partner ordered the mini doughnuts with the orange sauce, which arrived warm from the oven, and were light to the bite. The bill was very reasonable, and I was happy to tip, given both the excellent and attentive service, and very high quality food we had received. Overall, a perfect valentines dinner, and I will certainly be back at Nest Farmhouse next time I am in Norfolk.

We enjoyed a beautiful Valentine’s Day dinner at NEST Farmhouse — oysters with sparkling rose wine, Chalkstream smoked trout with homemade pumpernickel bread, whole brill with charred kale, a side order of sweetheart cabbage and apple rhubarb crumble for dessert. It was all beautifully prepared and presented and completely delicious. Our only gripe is that the local rose wine, Cobble Hill, is no longer available by the glass and price has skyrocketed to £66 a bottle! That’s really quite steep, though we understand this is the producer’s price increase rather than NEST’s.
