You can expect to find unparalleled natural beauty at the Best Western Annesley House Hotel in Norwich, which sits just a stroll away from the historic city centre. The hotel is located in a tree-lined conservation area just outside Norwich's ancient city walls, with plenty to do nearby. The hotel itself is made up of three Grade II listed Georgian buildings and two coach houses originally built in 1832. Their conservatory restaurant enjoys views over the water garden, with menus changing frequently, but standards remaining exceptionally high. The bar offers an array of delicious nightcaps to end your evening in comfort, if a first-class hotel is what you're looking for, you have come to the right place. Norwich Castle, Norwich Cathedral, the City Hall, and St James Mill are among some of the 12 gems of Norwich, and all less than 10 minutes’ drive from the hotel. For some scenic walks, the Norfolk Broads is right on your doorstep when staying at the Annesley House Hotel and offers many breath-taking rivers and lakes to admire. If you still have some free time, the pretty coastal villages of Cley, Wells-next-the-Sea and Cromer are only a short drive away. If you are driving to the hotel, make sure to enter both the hotels post code and house number 6 into your satellite navigation system to take you right to the doorstep.

Situated in a bohemian part of the city, the modern bistro vibe perfectly suits this simply decorated restaurant that carries its unfussy ethos through into the cooking. Chef-Owner Richard Bainbridge is proud of his Norfolk roots and an ambassador for the region’s larder, and his understated dishes rely on top quality ingredients to lead the way. They serve a range of menus, varying in length and with vegetarian and, on request, vegan options available.

The sister to Italian restaurant Benoli nearby, this compact, rustic-looking spot instead turns its attentions to Spain, with a roster of tapas staples plus daily blackboard specials. Sharing is of course the way to go here, and the well-known dishes pack in all the satisfying flavours you’d expect, from the pan con tomate to a number of pork options and a great tarta de Santiago with olive oil ice cream to finish. It’s all perfect paired with a glass from the concise Spanish wine list or the cocktail of the day.

Set in the heart of a pretty village and fronted by an attractive terrace, this former pub is now a laid-back restaurant offering satisfying modern cooking at a wallet-friendly price. The menus range from a particularly great value daily selection to an ambitious à la carte and an inventive tasting menu, all exhibiting the kitchen's skilled control of flavour and balance. Dishes like chicken liver parfait and dulche de leche cheesecake might sound straightforward, but they're executed with such aplomb. The friendly service team are eager to please.

Stoke Mill Restaurant
Traditional Cuisine
£££
A 700-year-old mill makes a terrific setting for this characterful restaurant spanning the River Tas. You can feel a palpable sense of history not only in the mill itself, but in the knowledge that the adjoining building is where the Colman family started making their famous mustard back in 1814. The cooking, for its part, consists of technically adept versions of straightforward, classically based dishes where the ingredients are strong and the flavours are distinct.
