Our lovely open-plan restaurant has traditional oak-beams and contemporary furnishings with a harmonious and relaxing ambience. The perfect setting for you to enjoy a romantic dinner, family celebration or night out with friends.
Our Head Chef and his brigade are passionate about food. Every dish on the frequently changing menu is freshly prepared from the finest ingredients – locally sourced wherever possible.
Norfolk is rich in great produce and our kitchen’s philosophy is based on seasonality, provenance and flavour. Game, fish, meat and vegetables are chosen with care daily. We have a close relationship with the finest suppliers in the county and they know that we insist on buying the best. We don’t do run-of-the-mill at The Parson but we do believe in offering great food cooked with passion and flair.
Special dietary requirements are all happily catered for. Please advise when making your reservation.

    Four of us visited today for our annual Festive get together. The food was cooked to perfection and presented very well indeed. Everything tasted fantastic. This delightful pub has a lovely vibe. The staff are truly exceptional, friendly and welcoming. We are very lucky to live within a few miles and will return in the New Year. Couldn't fault a thing.

    We dine at the Parsons every time we travel from Chesterfield to Norwich to visit family, we have never been disappointed (except when our first choice of menu was not available due to popularity), highly recommended.
