Food scene
We highly recommend this place for a great meal! Definitely a local favourite, the Dabbling Duck is a dog friendly gastropub with a delicious menu. Make sure to book in advance so you can get a table at the restaurant, or if you miss out then check out the pizzas and street food available In the Barn at the back. We'd rate it as one of the top 5 gastropubs in Norfolk.
