Back in July and when the weather was fantastic and sunny, I visited Norfolk. This was a weekend break, and I got to see GoGoHares sculpture trail in and around Norwich as well as visit Norwich Castle and other attractions in Norfolk and the surrounding area. I stayed for a long weekend and chose "The Plough Inn", which is located on a main road just outside the village of Marsham, which is about a thirty minute drive to Norwich. The room had a nice bay window, and this is best described as a pub bed and breakfast. I am writing this post because the food was so delicious, and I had the best food that I have eaten this year at "The Plough Inn". Normally, I enjoy trying different new places when I am away, but the food was so good that I visited both evenings for my meal in addition to the two breakfasts that were included in the bed and breakfast rate.
The rooms at The Plough Inn are about average; the bed could have been more comfortable and it looked a little tired, but the room was spacious and had a wonderful bay window. What really makes this place special is that the food is delicious. The chicken that I had was perfect and tender with flavour, including a nice sauce and sliced potatoes.
Dessert was equally satisfying with panna cotta served with fruit and meringue, and the chocolate brownie was nice. On the second night, I had ham and eggs, which is a simple mean but delicious. It included chips, and while I am normally not a big fan of chips, these had a lot of flavour.
I did not get a photograph of the breakfasts, but guests can have a cooked breakfast with toasts and fruit. The bacon was delicious here, and I should have asked for my scrambled eggs well done as they were a bit too soft/runny for my tastes. (I dislike runny egg though I know that people in England generally prefer eggs on the runny side.)
Overall, this was a lovely stay, and I do hope to return again next summer to sight-see and enjoy more excellent cooked food. I just hope it does not change before then as I will be disappointed if it does. Oh, and my comments here are all my own; I've not been asked to write this but thought that it was such a nice place that I needed to include it.
