Restaurant Café welcomes top chef in the Norfolk Broads
Wroxham Barns is already immensely popular with residents of and visitors to Norfolk, who have for many years enjoyed its homemade food. Chris’s task will be to maintain the restaurant cafe’s traditional lunchtime favourites such as beef pie and locally reared sausages and mash, whilst developing a new range of lighter lunch dishes. He will also be developing the breakfast offerings and the Sunday lunch menu and has introduced a new, more extensive wine list to accompany the lunch menu.
Chris plans to use locally sourced and seasonal produce wherever possible in the new menu. "I am already looking forward to the next few months when local asparagus and spring lamb will become available." he says.
The cakes and puddings for which Wroxham Barns is famous, including homemade scones and treacle sponge will of course remain on the menu. They will continue to be made by Janet Sharp, who has for many years has held the title of ‘’Queen of the Cakes’ in the Wroxham Barns kitchens.
Ian Russell, director of Wroxham Barns said "Our tea rooms have always been popular for our cakes and home-made scones, but we now want to offer our visitors something more. Hopefully people will become to see Wroxham Barns as not only a great shopping destination, but somewhere where everyone, whatever their age or tastes, can have a jolly decent lunch too; one that uses local ingredients, and is freshly made on the day in our kitchens."
