Our Inspector's view

Despite its rural name, Farmyard is slap bang in the heart of Norwich and it’s a modern bistro with an uncompromising attitude to sourcing quality local produce. Everything is prepared in the open kitchen, including the daily sourdough bread and hand-made butter. Meat, fish and vegetables are cooked over charcoal on the ‘Bertha’ oven and there is an intelligently curated wine list full of interesting bottles. Tender belly pork turns up at the starter stage with charred baby leeks and Chinese XO sauce foam. To follow, there’s slow-cooked belly and roasted rump of lamb with celeriac, mushroom and fenugreek.

About the area

Discover Norfolk

The North Norfolk Coast is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and probably the finest of its kind in Europe. Here you’ll find a string of quaint villages and small towns – Holkham, Wells-next-the-Sea and Cley next the Sea are 21st-century favourites, while Sheringham and Cromer are classic examples of a good old-fashioned seaside resort where grand Victorian hotels look out to sea. Further round the coast you'll find Great Yarmouth, one of the most popular resorts in the UK and packed full of amusements, shops and seashore entertainment. And let's not forget Norwich, the region's only city.

Norfolk prides itself on its wealth of historic houses, the most famous being Sandringham, where Her Majesty the Queen and her family spend Christmas. Many of Norfolk’s towns have a particular charm and a strong sense of community. The quiet market towns of Fakenham and Swaffham are prime examples, as well as Thetford, with its popular museum focusing on the TV comedy series Dad’s Army which was filmed in the area.
