Feast on Country Produce
Our 2 AA rosetted restaurant is named after the local lords of the manor who would certainly have been welcome guests at The Dales in its heyday as a private house.
North Norfolk is a chef’s paradise with local game, fish and fresh produce readily available. They provide an excellent starting point for an imaginative menu with choice to suit everyone and the variety to encourage a longer stay. Our chefs make their own bread and have acquired a reputation for their home made biscuits served with coffee or afternoon tea.
Before your meal, you can relax in the comfortable Kings Bar or, in summer, you may prefer to take your drinks and canapés on the lawn. To accompany your meal, we have a selection of fine wines carefully kept in the cellar.
Locations
The Dales lies in its own sheltered grounds on the edge of the quiet village of Upper Sheringham. Sheringham Park next door, which was laid out by Humphry Repton and now looked after by the National Trust, is much visited for spectacular displays of rhododendrons and azaleas in season.
Just a couple of miles away you will find the North Norfolk coast, with its sweeping beaches, magnificent walks and renowned bird reserves. Inland, fine houses, pretty villages and leafy lanes are yours to explore.
The nearby market town of Holt is home to fascinating shops, galleries and cafes. Further afield the medieval city of Norwich is now rated in the top 10 best shopping centres in England.
