The Ingham Swan A 14th Century Coaching Inn. Award-Winning Relaxed Fine Dining and Rooms by Chef Patron Daniel Smith. Located in Ingham, Norfolk. Michelin recommended.
(977)

A warm welcome to The Ingham Swan, a 14th Century coaching inn situated in the picture perfect hamlet of Ingham, North Norfolk. The Ingham Swan, is chocolate box pretty with its thatched roof, bundles of historic charm and rural setting flanked by Ingham Priory, overlooking picturesque North Norfolk countryside. The building was originally part of Ingham Priory, that was until Henry VIII ordered its dissolution. Fortunately the Inn survived this destruction and remains to this day under the careful management of Chef Patron Daniel Smith. Daniel is Norfolk born and bred, and passionate about serving good, honest food, from a regularly changing menu dedicated to seasonality, that is reasonably priced, within a relaxed setting and with personal service to match. The Ingham Swan has been sympathetically transformed into a fine dining, yet relaxed restaurant serving modern British Cuisine. Inside we have created a beautiful 50 seat restaurant, full of character and original features and keen to uphold The Ingham Swan's original roots as a country inn, we have also retained the original bar, to enable both drinkers and diners to enjoy alike, whether it is a pint of Woodfordes real ale, a pre-dinner aperitif or a glass of wine from the extensive by the glass list. The well stocked bar caters for all. And for those wishing to extend their stay and explore the local area (or perhaps just enjoy a fabulous Ingham Swan breakfast!), there are seven well-appointed and stylish en-suite bedrooms in the converted stable house next door and character cottage located around the corner. Booking is recommended at all times.

A little glimpse into our past… 🦢

The Ingham Swan as it once was, complete with its thatched roof, traditional pub sign and the village Post Office just beyond.

Much has changed over the years, but we're proud to be part of the history of this lovely corner of Norfolk.

We'd love to know if anyone remembers The Swan from years gone by, or has any old photographs or stories to share.

“Recognition like this matters because it reflects the work that goes on behind the scenes, every single day.” Daniel Smith, Chef Patron

À la Forestière.
A little French culinary tradition, a little Norfolk woodland.

Meaning 'of the forest', Forestière is a classical French preparation celebrating the rich, earthy flavours of mushrooms and other woodland ingredients.

It's the inspiration behind one of Chef Jordan's new autumn dishes - Pan Roasted Halibut, Confit Garlic Pomme Purée, Sautéed Rainbow Chard, Locally Foraged Girolle Mushrooms, Pickled Kohlrabi Discs, Kohlrabi Leaf, Celeriac Purée, Poached Brancaster Mussels, Mussel and Sorrel Broth.

A meeting of woodland and coast, brought together on one plate.

Freshly delivered. Ready for the weekend.

A fresh delivery of seasonal vegetables, straight from the Norfolk countryside and into our kitchen.

We're proud to work with local growers, including the Tacon family at The Tacons, who have been farming in Rollesby for three generations and supply us with so much of the fresh produce that features on our menus.

Outstanding ingredients, thoughtful cooking and a real connection to the Norfolk countryside.
