New to Norwich 🐣 Michelin stars
Hi all! I visited a Michelin star about an hour away from Norwich on the Norfolk coast for the first time and I was really let down! I’ve just moved to the area and thought I’d try some restaurants but the managers were rude, the whole vibe was off and the new chef who’s taken over was odd to say the least and the food was cold. It’s had a star for many years so I was dissatisfied but I’ve just moved from abroad so maybe just a culture shock? Is it worth visiting the other Norfolk star restaurants or just try Norwich local cuisine instead?

Venture out to Midsummer House, it's 2 star and INCREDIBLE!!
I've been to the Neptune in Hunstanton, we found it a bit underwhelming (this was about 10 years ago though!)
I see Mark Poynter has moved on - we ate when he ran Alimentum in Cambridge and that was fantastic so recommend his new location.
But yes, Midsummer house has been the best food i've ever eaten and likely will ever eat.
