You can also sit in the courtyard on a nice day surrounded by plants from The Watering Can, which is based at the site.
2. Goodies Food Hall, Pulham Market
This award-winning food hall in south Norfolk, along the A140, has a fantastic restaurant, with its fry-up one of the best in the county and it uses meats from the on-site butchery.
