Briarfields Titchwell

Strattons is an award winning boutique hotel recognised for its unique style and strong environmental ethics. The hotel has 12 bedrooms, 2 self catering apartments, a 40 cover restaurant and an onsite cafรฉ deli 'CoCoes'.

Located in Titchwell, Briarfieldsโ€™ restaurant offers an inventive and constantly evolving menu. Simple starters include Scotch quails eggs with mustard and tarragon mayonnaise, cooked to perfection โ€“ crisp on the outside, moist sausage encases still soft quailโ€™s egg yolks.

The chic restaurant is open daily from 6.30pm and every Sunday Lunch. Everything is made on site and the kitchen has a committed philosophy to use the plentiful and abundant seasonal produce on its own Norfolk doorstep as well as eggs from the hotels hens, garden herbs and fruit from the orchard. On the menu you might see pigeon pie in rich puff pastry, roasted beets and pickled walnuts, 24 hour slow roast Oxborough black pig or roasted Norfolk quail with sage & olive oil crusted Maris Peer potatoes, cauliflower cheese, braised fennel, butternut hash or delicious chocolate jaffa tart with coffee icecream and jaffa syrup. Extensive wine list featuring some organic and bio-dynamic examples. Large groups, children and parties welcome.

Main dishes include 10oz, 21-day aged sirloin steak and chips, roast mushroom, tomato, dressed salad and homemade mustard, Sous-vide pork belly, prawn, chilli and dashi broth, new potato and coriander beignet, spring onions with crispy black cabbage. Dishes use meat from local suppliers and it is here that Briarfields excels โ€“ the hotelโ€™s owners favour fellow local suppliers and the quality shines through. Dessert lovers will be enchanted by plum tart tatin, laced with vanilla ice cream and honeycomb, Baileys bread and butter pudding and white chocolate cheesecake. Briarfields is truly a Norfolk delight.
