The Old Forge Seafood Restaurant in Thursford is an award-winning restaurant with rooms. We’ve featured twice on the BBC National Television News, appeared in a cutting-edge documentary on Channel 4 and have even had Hollywood superstar John Travolta dine in our seafood restaurant. We truly are perfect for a memorable getaway in Norfolk.
Our restaurant with rooms was originally a 14th Century former coaching station with a forge that has been beautifully renovated whilst retaining its original character, including York Stone floors and beams. You can even see the original iron hooks which tied the horse up in the restaurant.
We have 4 beautifully furnished en suite bedrooms available, including Text taken from bandbstays.co.uk a large double room with a bathroom. The rooms boast oak beams and include a TV, free Wi-Fi, tea and coffee-making facilities, biscuits or homemade cake.
Our award-winning restaurant uses local seafood to tantalise your taste buds, including shrimp, local crayfish, lobster, crabs and oysters. Much of the menu is purchased daily from the fishermen on the coast at Blakeney and Wells-next-the-Sea. Lots of the spices we use is from our own garden. We also provide succulent meat dishes, such as steak and lamb shank.
