The Saracen's Head

Escape the ‘rat race’ for some Saracen’s Civilisation.

The individualistic Saracen’s Head is truly a lost wonder worth finding. It is a humble Free House under private ownership. Well known for its delicious style of cooking and mellow atmosphere it sits in the middle of Norfolk fields, sheltered from the humdrum of the everyday ‘rat race’.

Its relaxed and casual atmosphere belies the fervour in the kitchen as Robert Dawson-Smith and his team cook up some of Norfolk’s most delicious wild and tame treats. Sit back and enjoy the addictive ‘parlour room’ atmosphere: Roaring log fires in winter in the cosy bar and parlour areas, and there is also the delightful and sheltered courtyard for the summer months.
