The Grain Store
Tucked away on the North Norfolk coast, The Grain Store forms part of The Maltings hotel – a collection of former brick and flint barns that have now been converted into bedrooms and this rustic restaurant. The lunchtime menu is simple and concise, while dinner offers a wide selection of small and large plates, plus those designed for sharing – such as lamb tagine or a Norfolk fish platter, to which you can add some local oysters. Each dish comes with clean, honest flavours and the wine list is keenly priced – head over to their small shop to take a bottle home with you.
