Food & Drink
Sample menus
Food is at the heart of The Gin Trap Inn offering. The kitchen focuses on seasonal, locally sourced ingredients, celebrating the best of Norfolk’s land and sea. Menus typically feature refined pub classics alongside more contemporary dishes, with an emphasis on flavour. Breakfast provides a generous start to the day, with hearty cooked options and lighter choices. At lunch and supper, the restaurant is popular with both locals and visitors, so advance booking is recommended, particularly at weekends and during peak seasons. The bar is well stocked with local ales, craft beers and, as the name suggests, an impressive selection of gins, making it an inviting spot for a pre-dinner drink or nightcap.
