NORFOLK'S FINEST, SERVED WITH SOUL

“Where cosmopolitan cooking meets hero ingredients”

We celebrate extraordinary produce from both near and far, from Norfolk’s day boats and heritage farms to carefully selected global ingredients, only the very best makes it onto our plates.

Led by Executive Chef Jack Gosling, The Harper’s kitchen brings together world-class technique and the finest ingredients. After honing his craft across Australia, Asia and Central America, Jack spent six years at two-Michelin-starred Spectrum in Amsterdam’s Waldorf Astoria. Now back on home soil, he works closely with local farmers, fishermen and foragers to create dishes that are both globally inspired and distinctly Norfolk.

Whether you’re here for an unforgettable evening of fine dining at Stanley’s, the legendary Sunday roast at The Blue Bell or cocktails and small plates in The Courtyard, you’ll discover why The Harper’s kitchen is well worth travelling for.

Our dining spaces

Stanley’s

Stanley’s is where hero suppliers and hero ingredients meet refined technique – think Cromer crab and dry-aged Norfolk beef served with a side of panache. With our seasonal 5-5-5 menu (five starters, five mains, five desserts), we keep things focused on flavour. It’s the very best of fine dining – exceptional food in a space that feels like home.

Open Wednesday – Saturday.
