Morston Hall Restaurant in North Norfolk

The food, the Staff, the attention to detail, everything was faultless, one of the better experiences in life, highly recommended, you will not be disappointed

We were very fortunate to be able to get a table here on a Monday night at fairly short notice, as you would expect with a Michelin starred restaurant it’s heavily oversubscribed. The service from the welcome to the bill was pretty faultless. A mix of formality and informality. The food was exquisitely prepared and the tasting menu delivered the quality we had hoped for. The only downside was that there were no real surprises, the skills and the flavours before us were high quality but there wasn’t much in the way of risk. Perhaps we were expecting too much! The wine flight was explained with real knowledge and was an exceptional accompaniment to the meal. Atmosphere in the restaurant was lacking a bit. It’s difficult for venues when they have to space tables out more than they may have done before social distancing measures but it does mean that they struggle to break the formal feel where everyone has to speak in hushed tones. Minor criticisms, I know. It seems a tad unfair given how high quality everything is but when you pay this sort of price, you do expect as close to perfection as you can get!

So it’s very difficult to get a table here, so we were very excited.Our service was impeccable and the food was super. Clearly some big talent in the kitchen. After our meal we were all saying it was ok but not wow. It occurred to that the issue was the room.There was a too formal feel no music which is ok but it felt like a library. It needs some soul.

We had the most amazing stay here. It was absolutely faultless. We stayed in the Samphire suite, spacious, functional and clean. Great team and amazing food. We will be back

One night stay ... we’ve been many times and it never fails to wow us! ... the rooms in the Pavillion are lovely... a sitting area with a flame effect fire, lovely big bed, fab bed linen and lovely bathroom. Everything is thought of... proper scissors and sewing lit, shoe horn, hot water bottle, homemade mini shortbread biscuits. Then on to the dinner... what. can I say.... perfect delivery, perfect presentation, and the most fabulous flavours. Galton just knows how to put it all together. From start to finish the whole thing is so professional. The lady somelier completely knew her game... as did all the staff. A pleasure to witness. The following morning was a breakfast so gorgeous! ... anything was no trouble. We are so lucky to only be an hour away from this masterpiece .

Amazing food ! All the courses from canapés to desserts were beautifully presented and so tasty. Just a couple of disappointing factors, we were served some delicious crusty beer and treacle bread which made a lot of mess on table, being a Michelin star we would expect this to be cleaned but we had to ask and the waiter just brushed off with his hand, we asked for an extra chocolate and very reluctantly we were told we could only choose one! We also asked to purchase two extra glasses of one of the wines from pairing but was told this was not possible . Kieron was excellent and certainly knew his wines and was friendly unlike the waiters that brought the food but overall a lovely experience just let down by a few minor points for a Michelin star restaurant.

Experienced friendly and relaxed service whilst being professional. A set 4 course Sunday menu which included bread (amazing sourdough), canapés, chocolates and coffee for £65 a head. The food was superb from start to finish with a special mention for the pastry chef whose dessert was outstanding. A lovely experience.

We were lucky enough to be able to secure a table for today after a cancellation and it was fabulous. We arrived around 12 noon and were seated at a table in the beautiful conservatory area. We started the dining experience with canapés which included Ham Hock with Galton’s Piccalilli plus two further choices which included smoked salmon and Comte and Cream Cheese. A monkfish dish followed then the main course which was the most exquisite Hereford Beef. The desserts were amazing and included the most delicious Passion Fruit and Brillat-Savarin Cheescake and Michel Cluizel Chocolate. The whole meal finished with coffee and homemade chocolates. The service was fantastic with the waiters not being able to do enough for you. We will most definitely be back and will make sure that we book in time, what a joy it was to eat here today.

We were very lucky to stay for 3 nights in early October. We were housed in Campion which is one of the pet friendly rooms in the Pavillion. Accommodation was superb and the food even better! The whole experience was first class. All the members of staff were so helpful and interested in us as guests. This included the lovely lady who looked after our room and the gardner who was around as we made our way from our room up the path to the restaurant for breakfast. The restaurant staff were very knowledgable about the food and wine as well as being friendly. Galton came to see us at our table each evening as well as at breakfast. This shows just how much he cares about his business and the satisfaction of his guests - a true gentleman and an excellent chef!,

We visited Morston Hall as a couple and experienced a fantastic Michelin star meal.Staff were extremely attentive & polite, the atmosphere was very quiet and calm with tables laid out sufficiently to feel you have your own space and the food was fantastic with the Head Chef spending a few moments chatting to diners ahead of the 7 course tasting menu which changes daily.Our only feedback is that whilst the food was of Michelin star level, the cuisine is classic rather than cutting edge so if you're looking for the culinary wow factor to make the meal truly memorable was missing.Overall however, a brilliant dining experience.

We had a really lovely afternoon tea here we cannot wait to return and stay the night and enjoy the full experience later in the year.

The staff were friendly. The food was superb. The sccomodation was very good.We have only praise for this wonderful hotel and restaurant. The Michelin Star Chef and owner,Galton Blackliston, even personally prepared my wife's scrambled eggs and smoked salmon as he had offered to the previous day. His style was replicated throughout the hotel. We have dstayed and dined at 3 star Maison Pic and also the two star le Manoir aux quatre saisons, and the Morston Hall experience was the best of all three. We look forward to returning. This is the the model for all hotels aiming at "foodies" Thank you so much for your efforts in making our stay so perfect.

Everything about our stay was amazing, the food, the venue, the staff and what a fantastic welcome we had. Thank you for saving and making the first night of our mini moon. We loved so much we booked again straight away!

I visited here with my husband for their evening Taster Menu. Neither of us have been before. There is plenty of parking and we had no trouble getting a space. The whole dining room eats at the same time so you could attend from 18:45 for drinks and canapes at your table and food began at 19:30.The tables were well spaced out which was great for COVID and also enabled you to have conversations with your table without having to shout and yet also keep it intimate. When we asked for some water for the table, it was much appreciated that we were offered "tap, still or sparkling". We always just order tap water and don't like when people offer just still or sparkling. The food itself was delicious. This isn't the first Michelin we have eaten at but my favourite (so far). The food isn't pretentious and the flavours are 'normal'. You won't get snail porridge or something that looks like a fried egg but actually tastes like lavender ice-cream here. What you are served tastes of what it is meant to taste of. The menu had a variety of fish and meats and every course was delicious. I think my favourite savoury dish was either the chicken wing (how do you get so much flavour from a bland little piece of meat?) or the monkfish. My least favourite was the suckling pig, but this was solely down to my least favourite meat being pork. Just bad luck on my part and there was certainly nothing wrong with that dish itself. The sweet dishes were both amazing. The milk ice-cream was, I think, the best ice-cream I have ever eaten. And I've eaten a lot. The lemon tart was perfect and the Italian meringue was absolutely out of this world. My husband had a gin with liquorice to start and he said this was delicious. He also had the wine pairing and enjoyed all of these in different ways. He wasn't keen on the dessert wine on first sip as it was very sweet, but when he drank it with the lemon tart, it complimented the tart perfectly. The service was predominantly from very young staff but there were no issues as far as we could tell. They were all very polite and when asked about dishes, knew the answer each time. Galton did a walk around which my husband was especially happy with. The toilets were small (only two cubicles) and I didn't think they were as clean as they could have been. Nice toiletries though.The ONLY thing I could criticise is we would have preferred a bit more consistency in the service. For instance, the bread was delicious. Absolutely superb. The table next to us finished theirs at about the same time as us and were offered more. We finished just afterwards and were looking forward to being offered more too as we would have liked it throughout the meal to mop up the sauces (I'm Northern!) and to accompany the cheese course. But we weren't offered it and felt too awkward to ask ourselves. And again, at the end of the meal the same table near us ordered a coffee. My husband ordered the exact same coffee they did yet despite theirs being served in a 'normal' sized cup, my husbands was served in an almost espresso cup. We were visiting as I had surprised my husband for a special birthday of his. This was meant to be last April and because of COVID it was cancelled twice. I had explained it was a special birthday on booking and it was mentioned again whilst we were there but no 'extras' were offered to me on booking to make the evening even more special and the staff never mentioned it whilst we were there. But another table got a treat brought out and sang Happy Birthday. So I felt a bit awkward as I think my husband thought he was going to get the same and didn't.Nothing major though, we'd just like a bit more consistency between all diners. After all, we are all paying the same.Literally the only other thing that made me a bit uncomfortable was the COVID situation. The staff were all superb and all wore masks throughout service. We wore masks when first entering and kept them on until we sat down. We then put them back on when standing up from the table to use the bathroom. However, I only saw two other people wear a mask to go to the bathroom and a lot didn't wear them to leave at the end either. We had been seated in the first room so saw everyone arrive, leave and go to the bathroom. And it was honestly quite appalling how few people wore masks. Some even had them around their necks but didn't bother pulling them up. It is awful when the staff were so conscientious at protecting customers yet customers cannot be bothered to do the same back to the staff. We were the youngest there by a good stretch and to see so many elderly people not care about each other or staff that were working so hard is very sad. This isn't the establishments fault though and realistically, even if they had challenged these selfish individuals, they don't have to legally comply anyway so why should the staff risk getting abused?The tables themselves were really well spaced though and every other COVID policy they had in place was perfect. We both had the taster menu, my husband had a gin and a bourbon, one wine flight and one cheese course. The bill came to around £320. We will definitely return to Morston Hall. We would like to try the Sunday Lunch next, I think, and will return for the Taster Menu at a later date too. I cannot fault the food at all. The way the kitchen managed to get those flavours from 'normal' foods was outstanding and every course was delicious. We didn't leave hungry and were pleasantly full. Thank you Morston Hall and Galton. We had an amazing evening and wouldn't change a thing about our meal.

The food here is wonderful. We booked in for the night after having the taster menu, one meat one veggie. Absolute top quality , and the staff are so helpful and friendly .Everything is so fresh

We had a reservation in April which was cancelled due to lockdown, and rebooking became impossible as rooms get snapped up instantly. We finally managed to go for 3 nights to celebrate my OH birthday and had a wonderful experience. This time we stayed in the Sandringham room. What’s not to like?Service in the restaurant was impeccable, the dining room was airy and welcoming, every dish on the tasting menu was faultless paired with delicious wine.Galton was there in the evening and breakfast speaking to each diner which was a lovely personal touch - and it really added to the experience. We will definitely be coming here when we next visit Norfolk Broads.

We decided to treat our friend to Afternoon Tea having heard recommendations from our family. Afternoon Tea is served in the relaxed atmosphere of the conservatory by friendly and welcoming staff. The tea itself was excellent from the quails scotch egg to the delicious cakes.

An excellent dining experience which sets a high standard of extremely tasteful food and good wines all perfectly served in very spacious pleasant country house. Each dish was a careful balanced combination of flavours which stunned the taste buds. Excellent value for a high quality dining experience. If quantity and price are you main concerns then this fine dining may not be for you.

Came here for afternoon tea and then the tasting menu, whilst on holiday in wells next the sea. It was fabulous .the afternoon tea in the conservatory on a sunny day was just perfect, setting, food, service all wonderful. Returned a couple of days later for the tasting menu, which we loved. We were in the next room to the best conservatory, but the food and service was excellent. We highly recommend you try this wonderful restaurant.

Being born in Norfolk and living in London. I finally got to go to the famous Morston Hall, having cycled and driven past it many times! Expectations were high due to the great reputation it has and we were not disappointed. They suggest to arrive around 6.45, which we did and we were able to have a glass of champagne in the garden before the service started at 7pm with canapés. This is a taster menu, and we also opted for the wine flight which is an additional £70 but worth it. The food was fabulous, highlights were the Wagu beef (from Suffolk, but we’ll overlook that) and the Celeriac and Kings Lynn shrimp veloute. The cheese board trolley was also a lovely touch. The staff were lovely, helpful and knowledgable. Only fault would be the atmosphere is a little stiff, could maybe do with some light music or someone on a piano. Food and service however are impeccable. Recommend for a treat.

Really lovely afternoon tea with my husband, the sandwiches were delicious and the gooseberry cake/treat was delicious! The coffee was lovely and the service was great! Hopefully we will be back for an overnight stay with dinner at some point in the near future!

This was our first Michelin Star dining experience to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We had the seven-course taster menu - we had to book months in advance to get a weekend booking which is always a promising sign! We were impressed that the chef took the time to personally meet every table, and also saw that several of the guests were regulars who'd struck up lovely relationships with the staff. The food was incredible, each mouthful an absolute treat with textures and flavours to die for. We were really impressed by the professionalism, knowledge and warmth of the staff who created such a wonderful atmosphere in the dining room. We would 100% dine here again and would love to return for our next special occasion. Thank you for the perfect ending to our anniversary weekend away!

We visited twice, once for afternoon tea and once for the tasting menu.Firstly, the food is fantastic. I've had so many mediocre afternoon teas (especially in beautiful settings where establishments rest on their laurels), but this was wonderful. The gooseberry choux is the best choux pastry I've ever eaten, better than any I've had in France. The manjari chocolate confection also exceeded all expectations. Overall, couldn't fault the afternoon tea. The jam is the best I've had, way better than any you'll get in Fortnums and I ended up buying 5 jars. Service was equally good, we had a perfect time and really appreciated how well looked after we were. Kindly, the gentleman looking after us also found us space for the tasting menu!The tasting menu was fabulous, it's so well done from the canapes (exceptional) to the sourdough and raw butter (never thought I'd get so excited about bread and butter, but it was amazing). The subsequent 7 course tasting menu was similarly lovely - the crab and shrimp crumpets, brill and puddings were particular favourites! The chocolates were also a pleasant surprise, as good as you'll get at a dedicated chocolatier (I'd say they were on par with Rococo). I also really appreciated that they accommodated me with the wine flight (I couldn't manage the full flight, so they let me have half a flight). Overall it was a great experience. The only niggle I had, was that the lady sommelier spent a lot more time describing the wine to the older gentleman at the table next to ours; she skimmed over these with me and just told me the names. Nonetheless, a great experience and I'd happily go back. As a tip: book in advance and ask for a table by the window I'd they're available.

I really enjoyed our visit here, we stayed 2 nights which means 2 tasting meals. My husband hadn’t realised it was only that! Plus he’d booked and it was World Cup football night on day 2 so please excuse our early departure from the table!The meals were delicious, the 2nd day was quite different to the first and more to my taste.. They catered really well for dietary requirements and we met the chef.Breakfast was lovely as well, there’s a lot of variety and the portion sizes are sensible so you can have a couple of things like some fruit and then eggs on toast.It would be nice to go back in non covid times as I expect there would be more interaction and a friendly atmosphere rather than functional as places have to be at the moment.The hotel is near the coast so we went on seal boat trip and did some walks before moving up the coast to Holkam… another review on the way!

Fantastic Michelin star restaurant. 7 course tasting menu was amazing!! Wonderful place in a lovely setting. Service and food is the best we have tasted on the Norfolk coast.

Totally enjoyed the whole experience , no negatives just positive on all level , thanks to everyone for making this special

Long awaited return visit. It didn't disappoint. Warm welcome to guests for dinner ,bed and breakfast. Service and food exceptionalThe menu is different every day and the most is made of local grown and sourced ingredients. The imagination and presentation of the dishes is fantastic. The staff knowledgeable and helpful. Lovely experience. We will return as soon as we can.

We have eaten at Morston Hall on several occasions before today. We had a lovely Sunday lunch. We had amuse bouche, pea and pancetta veloute, skate with brown shrimps and caper, Hereford lamb, and apple tarte tatin. After lunch we were served their home made chocolates. We shared as lovely bottle of Provence Rose.It was a lovely meal, served by very pleasant staff. We look forward into returning.

One of our treats during our visit to Norfolk was afternoon tea at Morston Hall. It came up to expectations in everyway. Our table overlooked the charming garden and we were treated to a wonderful selection of savoury & sweet treats together with exquisitely presented teas. My personal highlight was the quails scotch egg.As you would expect in an establishment such as this, the staff and service is immaculate.Next time we will book for dinner but sadly on this occasion our travel requirements didn't allow for it.Thank you all the Morston Hall team.

At a time when things in our country are looking a bit bleak( lockdown) this was such a wonderful treat . A belated birthday present from my husband. So pleased we were able to attend before everything closes down. Fabulous place, wonderful food and staff that were so lovely, must be so hard wearing a mask for such a long time. A treat to meet the chef , made us feel very special.

The food, service, wine and value for money here are all incredible. It is a warm, welcoming environment in which everyone is served the same 7 course menu, creating a lively ambience. We dined 2 nights, once cooked for by Galton, Chef Patron, and once by Greg, Head Chef. Both meals were divine. Fish comprised the majority of courses on both evenings and the meals were sublime (one slight letdown on a Brill and leek dish which was average rather than brill) but the general standard was almost faultless. Service was attentive and friendly and totally unpretentious.A glorious standard well deserving of its Michelin star and that has adapted well to COVID restrictions; always felt safe and secure and meal finished in an unhurried way before 10pm. Highly recommend the wine flight and this place in general. Worth a massive detour to take in its loveliness. I have done a separate review of the hotel, which is equally glowing!

We have eaten here a few times in the past and it gets more intruiging the way they mix flavours and foods that are just divine. If Galton is on site he always makes a point of speaking to eat table and welcoming them, very personable and a great chef.

First visit with our children. Service attentive, food absolutely delicious and more filling than we thought, but we were able to take a little box home. Most definitely recommend, only thing was, not long enough!

It’s a pleasure to be able to say that a £95 a head menu is great value . Every course was good but the vast majority were stunningly good - some just elicited the single word “wow” .Great food . Excellent service. Top end but not at all snooty or snobby. Good wine list .Will definitely recommend to our foody mates .Really class operation- so good for a special occasion.Totally on top of Covid stuff too

It was very hard to get a table here. It’s that exclusive! Around the area there are some lovely places to eat, but this is of course head and shoulders above the rest considering it has a Michelin star. The staff were very accommodating to let me and my wife and child arrive, we were very thankful for the service that they provided and of course accommodating the fact that we have a two month old baby with us.As expected, there is an air of grace and an ambience of sophistication that surrounds this establishment. The grounds are beautiful, the service is friendly, respectful and professional. As you get your table he were greeted with the most decorative display of cutlery and china.What followed was a seven course tasting menu, you are greeted by the head chef before your courses of even start, which is a lovely touch and you do not see in establishments in central London as example. You can tell he is proud and is open to discussion about his background, and the menu, which makes the occasion even more special. The food I must say it was absolutely delicious. Everything was cooked absolutely perfectly. You can tell that all of the food was sourced with care and love, but I was a bit disappointed that there wasn’t more locally sourced menu additions, with a lot of the produce coming from Dorset and Scotland as example. Part of me did want some locally reared pig as example.However the scallop with beef shin was delicious, as was the duck with beetroot and five spice sauce, but the highlight was the pistachio and chocolate soufflé which is a combination that I’ve never had before and absolutely outstanding. The only thing which is bugging me here, is that I’ve had dinner like this many times. There wasn’t really anything very imaginative with it all. It’s almost too classic. I’m starting to see a shift in the way that food is delivered, lots of street food restaurants now occupying the tastebuds of the newer generation. Even other Michelin star restaurants are starting to become a little bit more creative. I understand the chef was classically trained, and this is absolutely perfect in today’s world and for the setting that you find it in. However this meal is a lot of money, and I just wish I could walk away and say that I had something different. Was I blown away, yes with the quality but no to the imagination. However this is an outstanding experience.

Visited 11/09/20. Stayed overnight and had meal. Couple.Our first visit but hopefully not our last.Lovely room in the main house (Beeston) which had separate seating area, large bedroom and good sized bathroom. Lovely room overall.We sat in conservatory for meal which is lovely. Well distanced and staff all masked. Lovely that Galton came round the room a couple of times and chatted from a distance with us and all tables.Food was all very good. Our advised preferences were complied with.All food was excellent. Mrs W did not like the hare because it was a little too rare for her taste but that was only slight negative.Overall a great evening. Breakfast following day was excellent too.Very pleasant stay

Great food, fresh ingredients cooked beautifully. Beautiful grounds. 7 courses but quite liked the idea of leaving it in the chefs hands and you get amuse bouche.

We were determined to support our favourite restaurant with rooms as soon as was possible after restrictions were relaxed, and booked a three night stay on a dinner bed and breakfast basis. The joy is having three different tasting menus over the stayThe venue is Covid savvy, QR code on arrival, ,masks worn by all in public areas. Good availability of sanitizer as you change rooms.The staff are great, friendly, knowledgeable, and keen to ensure that you can enjoy the food, and the sommelier.. well frankly brilliant.We enjoyed the food immensely, and is a great touch that the resident “celebrity chef” comes around with the canapés and is happy to take questions on them or the menu.My partner has a soya allergy, and they were armed with this information in advance, and on the third night the amendments to the canapés and the Duck course were unidentifiable from my but were completely safe for her.There were some surprises in the vegetables, beetroot and apple whirls are stunning.

Partner had tried to book the restaurant a couple of months earlier, firstly for Sunday lunch then either dinner of afternoon tea but the restaurant was full all week. Being persistent he called a couple of weeks later to try again. The friendly voice on the phone suggested going on the waitlist for Sunday lunch. Two months later we arrived at our rental cottage on the Friday and that afternoon we received a call informing us we had secured a table for Sunday Lunch. Great luck! the restaurant is beautifully laid out. Covid precautions were in place (sanitiser, NHS App QR code etc all staff wearing masks. The set four course Sunday lunch was exceptional. The canapés were a nice touch. As it is a set lunch we were a little apprehensive regarding the lack of choices but each course was delicious and the team produced very interesting and tasty food. The service was very attentive but not pushy, definitely recommend.

A must do when it comes to eating out. The afternoon teawasexcellant with a choice of sandwiches and different fillings. As well as having two types of scones and a selection of cakes. Jam, butter and clotted cream also supplied, along with a selection of teas.

Upon arrival we expected to be asked to sanitise our hands and possibly have a temperature check. Instead we were ushered into the dining room (you can't sit in the lounge as we have done previously, due to Covid). That is fair enough. However, we were completely shocked that the staff were not wearing visors or masks. Our table was near a main walkway, despite it being very easy to pull it back. All of this added to us feeling very anxious. Staff do get close when placing and collecting meals and we just felt very vulnerable. Cutlery was placed on tables by staff, not wearing gloves who had previously touched a guest's mobile phone to take a photo - touch points! So many and not acceptable during a pandemic. We also felt that guests, as you can only dine for the Sunday lunch, should arrive via the conservatory so as to avoid going into the main Reception. Surely that makes a lot more sense?The food was nice but not too exciting. Some of the staff were clearly very inexperienced and not the standard one would expect in a michelin star restaurant.The toilets need some tlc - they are dated and clearly were not being regularly cleaned and checked during our time there. Hand towels had run out and paper towels were lying all over the place. Again, what is going on? We would not recommend or dine here again as we quite simply, did not feel safe. Other restaurants have given us much more confidence including those without a michelin star. Such a shame.

Myself and two daughters had the tasting menu with wine. We eat at nice restaurants a lot and this was up there with the bekst!I've never had a red dessert wine before? It would have been nice to have met Galton, I was lucky enough to meet Keith Floyd in the Maltsters Arms once but I guess he was busy in the kitchen?Lovely staff too who even managed to get us a taxi as we'd walked from Wiveton...Keep up the excellent work!

Well organised in current climate ... with friendly and attentive service. Delicious meal in relaxed surroundings.

We had dinner here last Friday. It's slightly different to last year in that pre dinner drinks and canapés are now served at the table due to changes to respond to Covid. Food, wine pairing and service were all superb. It's about a 4 hour drive away from us, but we are going to return again next year.

We stayed in the main house and the room was fabulous with a sitting area facing the front garden and absolute luxury. Dinner was a seven course tasting menu that changes every night. Outstanding well balanced dishes but not starchy accompanied by very nice wine. Dietary requirements were all noted, staff very professional and friendly. Galton came for a chat and made us feel very welcome. Breakfast was excellent with an extensive menu to set us up for the coastal walks. Highly recommend this fine dining place and hotel.

What to say about Galton’s Morston Hall restaurant? Let’s start with: food excellent, wine excellent. We stayed for 7 days, so with a different tasting menu on each day, we had a chance to see the full range of Galton’s cooking. The trio of appetisers to start were always interesting and inventive. The whole menu was well-balanced and showed terrific skill, with a lovely range of flavours, mostly from local produce. Perhaps in the “room for improvement” category were a brill course and a beef course, both of which were lacking in flavour, but that’s not bad, considering the total number of courses that we ate over the week. Perhaps there could be more innovation in the desserts, but they were delicious anyway. As for the wines, the list was good, varied and interesting. Importantly, the prices were extremely reasonable for a Michelin-star, with some of the lowest mark-ups I’ve seen in a long while.

After being locked away from civilisation for so long, our visit was perfection.From the warmth of welcome at reception, to the waiter who brought a bowl of water for my dog before he took our drinks order in the beautiful garden, to the excellent choices of wine, chosen by the charming sommelier.We stayed in Beeston, a suite with plenty of windows and a fan to keep us cool.Dinner was a fabulous succession of different tastes with matching wines.Served by attentive but not obsequious staff. A meal to remember.After a good sleep, a fabulous breakfast full of the freshest ingredients.A perfect stay which will be repeated.

We visited for dinner on Saturday, having an unexpected cancellation and we were top of the waiting list! I had tried to visit for lunch about 12 years ago, when I bought Galston's book (some great recipes), so we were pretty excited. It didn't disappoint. The food was so unusual, many little hidden "extras" inside each course, and as we were not hurried we never felt too full for the following course. Even managed the delicious home made chocolates at the end. The pea and mint course was the best, but all quite fabulous. Just sorry not to see Galston there. Thanks to the wonderful staff who served us too....

Arrival check In, very efficient, staff very conscious of social distancing. We were a party of four and we had booked room in The Pavilion, we we were not disappointed. Amazing, good attention to detail, we had no complaints. The hotel is absolutely fabulous, subtle luxury and we found nothing lacking. The tasting menu was as expected (we had already read reviews) and we were not disappointed. We were two couples celebrating our Golden Wedding Anniversaries, and a good time was had by all. The hotel went out of their way to ensure COVID 19, safety. Well done to all staff. Highly recommend this hotel.

We were lucky enough to have a beautiful table in the conservatory next to the garden. The service was impeccable and a lovely way to enjoy Sunday lunch with everyone arriving together for drinks and canapés. The food was near enough perfect could do with a different pastry chef though. The whole event was delightful and look forward to our next visit.

Superb cooking of every course of tasting menu. What a treat. Amuse Bouche x 2, fabulous carrot veloute, wondrous quail breast wrapped in pancetta, glorious spelt risotto with ewe's milk, monk fish with raz Al hangout, fantastic pork including a sous vide ( cooked so So slowly) pork belly with a piece of filet and lovely vegetables, the. Pre dessert and dessert. WOW,. AND the wine was delicious and not over priced ( just). Service meticulously but not starchy formal- just very professional and friendly. Six stars.

A really wonderful restaurant. They were incredibly accommodating as I had some dietary requirements due to being pregnant, and the staff were so kind and helpful. The food was fantastic and the service phenomenal. My husband said the wine flight let it down slightly as he didn’t really feel they were worth £13 a glass, but in contrast to the excellence elsewhere, that’s really a minor thing. Would thoroughly recommend!

Perfection in all regards. The quality or the cooking was excellent with perfect service. The wine list is outstanding. All in all one of the best meals I have had the pleasure of eating.

Went here as a surprise for my wife’s birthday. The afternoon tea was fantastic the passion fruit and fruit cakes were perfect. Possible the fruit cake was the best I have ever eaten. Not pretentious at all, staff very attentive, grounds immaculate, just a shame about the Norwich City shirt. Thank you.

Recently visited Morston hall on a Saturday evening and the whole evening was fabulous. We have been here many times and the quality and service does not alter. Some might say it’s a tad too pricey but I have to say that you get what you pay for. Galton does not have numerous restaurants around the country that he never visits like other successful chefs, but he concentrates on his beautiful Morston Hall and creates fabulous menus using good quality local ingredients. The food and service is always of a great standard and Galton will always make the effort to come to your table for a chat. We will be back soon.

Had great evening meal followed by wonderful haddock and poached egg for breakfast cooked by the lovely Galton, love to see him with James Martin they really are Laurel and Hardy. Looking forward to returning came with a friend last spring just wanted to tick it of my bucket list but now preparing for another visit special

We recently stayed here in one of the garden rooms. The room was beautifully decorated and easily compared with a 5 star luxurious hotel. The staff are incredibly professional and nothing was too much trouble. We stayed for Valentines evening and had the 9 course dinner. Without doubt this was probably one of the best meals we have ever eaten. The breakfast however, was sublime! Everything at Morston Hall is so very special. We cannot wait to return in the Spring, to admire the beautiful gardens and of course the food!

Thoroughly enjoyable and relaxed atmosphere and delicious variery of treats ... beautifully presented and welcomed attention to detail

A superb dining experience. It's a set meal but don't worry - it's always knock-out. It isn't cheap - but it's worth every penny. It's very popular - so always book. I've eaten there a score of times and it's never been less than magnificent.

We had an absolutely fantastic perfect meal and stay here. Cannot rate it highly enough, the whole experience was great from the room, the meal and finally the breakfast. Thought the value for money was excellent considering the quality. Will be visiting again!

Stayed overnight for my husband’s 50th birthday treat in the Mannington which was a lovely quirky room. Dinner was absolutely sublime and every course was a fabulous celebration of the main ingredient and the bread was to die for. Would love to get my hands on Sally the sourdough starter :) The lobster ravioli and turbot were exceptional. Breakfast was excellent - highly recommend the smoked salmon. The service was outstanding with with friendly knowledgeable staff and Gorton welcomed guests at breakfast which was a lovely touch. I’ve been to quite a few Michelin rated restaurants and this was by far the best and least pretentious. I only wish we were closer so we could visit more often but will definitely be staying again.

We went to Morston Hall restaurant for our Anniversary and it was everything we could have hoped for. There is a 7 course menu which changes every day and you don’t know what you are likely to get but our menu was superb and they had taken account of my intolerance for chocolate. I received different petit fours which were lovely. Every course was delicious and cleverly put together. The courses are well judged so that you are full but not overfull by the end. All together a real treat.

This establishment is always the highlight of my birthday and early Christmas build up meals and this year was no exception. Beautiful cooking, wonderful well balanced menu and exceptional service, with each course a delight to eat.We would always recommend anyone to dine or stay here.

Restaurants don’t come much better than Morston Hall. Holding 1 Michelin star, the standards are consistently excellent. The 7 course taster menu is a delight, with each course just melting in the mouth. Unusually for a Michelin starred restaurant there is a reasonably priced selection of wine, although there are extremely expensive bottles if you can afford it! The service is superb from start to finish and the surroundings (both in and out), are beautiful. If Galton Blackiston is cooking he takes the time to speak with all the diners - a lovely touch. If you want a special evening out in Norfolk, then this is the place to go.

A most welcome return to Morston Hall for dinner, bed and breakfast on 18/12/19. Warmly welcomed on arrival and shown to room,which was very comfortable.

A wonderful experience for us both.The seven course taster menue was exquisite both in presentation and taste.From the canapes to the sweet course the food was excellent even bettering our expectations.The staff were first class,well organised,efficient,informative and friendly.

Morston Hall is set in lovely grounds with a lovely coastal walk a few minutes away. We have eaten on a number of occasions at this restaurant. We particularly like their Sunday lunch. The quality is superb. The food is sublime. The service excellent. It’s not cheap, but then you would not expect a Michelin restaurant to be cheap. Great for a special occasion. If you like fine dining, this is worth booking.

My wife and myself had visited Morston Hall a little while ago for a Sunday lunch with friends. Based upon that memorable experience we decided to celebrate a birthday there with dinner and an overnight stay.

This was our eighth meal here in the past three years. Our most telling comment is it has been consistantly excellent over that period. Food and Norfolk hospitality at their best

This is the first Michelin restaurant I have visited that runs the same routine daily and it works for me. Guests arrive at the same time for pre dinner drinks taken in the variety of cosy lounges within the hall. Each couple/group is then escorted to their table and enjoy the same 7 course menu that changes daily. The only decisions one has to make are “do you go for the flight of wines to accompany your meal?” and “ shall I end the meal with cheese and biscuits and port?” The wines are professionally explained by the sommelier who later runs through the extensive choice of cheeses.

I reviewed the restaurant under the hotel review. Unfortunately I have not stay as yet at this hotel.

It’s been a few year since we have stayed here, as a previous trip was rather disappointing.

Yet another amazing 4 night dining experience which we have been enjoying twice a year since 2016 the hotel has everything you could want and the Michelin star restaurant gets better and better not sure why that second star has not been awarded yet.

I was a little concerned when told that everyone ate at 13.00 hours - would it be like school dinner?

Having eaten here on several occasions we were looking forward to dinner on the 2 nights of our "Summer jSparkle" break. Yet again we enjoyed the occasion immensely- we particularly enjoy going to the lounge for drinks before sitting down, with all the other diners, for dinner at 8pm. All the staff are very friendly and helpful. The food was really wonderful: amazing presentation wonderful tastes and variety of dishes in the 7 course tasting menu, which changes daily. We decided to have the accompanying wine flight on both nights - again absolutely wonderful. Wines were perfectly matched to the food, and included many examples that we probably wouldn't have come across. We are looking forward to going back soon!

We sat in the orangery overlooking the manicured lawns. My daughter is vegetarian and I don't eat fish and horse radish makes me violently sick. When booking these dietary requirements were noted and replacement dishes provided - a very nice thought. Each mouthful was delicious and tea was regularly replaced. Amazing place for a special treat.

My wife and I had a fabulous evenings dining at Galton's restaurant, the food was sublime and the service first class, I have eaten in many Michelin starred establishment's and can honestly say that this ranks among the highest, for the life of me I cannot understand why Morston Hall has only the one star as the place deserves at least one more, furthermore the price means that truly fine dining is accessible to all.

Having dined here every year we come to Norfolk on holiday. It never fails to disappoint. They make me feel so welcome with my no diary/ no meat requirements. The food is always exquisite and the service is impeccable.

We keep coming back whenever we have the opportunity … had another great Sunday Lunch ! Would recommend for environment , service , food and good value

Come here to be spoiled and you won’t be disappointed. The only dinner option is to have the full tasting menu - which turns out to be far from being a hardship. We had carrot and ginger veloutte (5*’s), fresh local scallop in puff pastry (about 6*’s), endive and oyster mushroom risotto (yet more *’s), wild sea bass with cauliflower (divine), Dexter beef fillet with mushrooms (excellent) and raspberry soufflé (impeccably served and well presented and superb). Get the general drift? If you need a place for a great and memorable meal it, come here. It was terrific.

The Fantastic Morston Hall, Chef Galton Blackiston and all the staff were Amazing and so friendly. I booked for Sunday lunch, when booking I was asked of any dietary requirements, which I informed them I was allergic to shell fish. Not a problem at all, and on arrival, they checked and confirmed my requirements again. I noticed others had requirements also, which was also accommodated, No problem at all. Amazing Food, Amazing Staff, Amazing Chef, Amazing place. Judge for yourself some people just need to find fault with something!

My wife was excited to have been booked an afternoon tea at Morston Hall for her 60th birthday. However, on ringing up to book she was informed by the receptionist that dietary requirements such as dairy intolerance or a gluten-free diet could not be catered for. My wife spoke to the Receptionist and explained that it was a dairy intolerance rather than an allergy and that she could eat butter, cheese and baked goods such as scones, but could not eat cream, crème fraiche etc. The receptionist then spoke to the chef and they agreed to take the booking and make some minor adjustments to the menu.

We stayed a night in the hall and had the Tasting Menu. The meal was delicious and the flavours varied. All the courses were distinct in both appearance and taste. The staff were warm and friendly, and the chef made time to talk to diners that had stayed the night, during breakfast.

Everything was perfect. I originally did review after visit in Dec 18. But for some reason it had not been listed... we are going again soon. Highly recommended.

The atmosphere and service was delightful, unfortunately the food wasn't as good as it has been on previous visits. Butter in small dishes tasted very cheesy and was soft, not straight out of the fridge. Lunch was OK but nothing special, soup OK, fish course - Cornish Plaice alright but why not have local fish - main course - loin of pork OK but not very hot - desert very nice - cheese option (extra) at £6.50 pp was very expensive.

This is a really comfortable relaxing hotel. The rooms are stylish and welcoming. The staff are friendly and helpful.The restaurant is justly one rosette.

Amazing food and great service coupled with a beautifully appointed room, peaceful surroundings and great service epitomises this Michelin starred restaurant with rooms.

Have been visiting Morston Hall twice a year since 2016 and the food gets better and better every time if that’s even possible. The kitchen staff have excellent teachers in Galton Blackiston and the head chef Greg Anderson and an amazing front of house young team all working together in harmony.

I’ve been coming here since it opened along with my family and it never disappoints. The food and wine needs no commentary as it is top notch and in my view good value for the quality. The hotel is in a beautiful setting and you have a range of rooms to choose from together with the beautiful gardens for aperitifs and coffees. The service is always excellent as well.

Very nice setting a very nice building. Service is at times uncertain and clumsy. The food was a tad underwhelming, in view of the Michelin star. The wine list is well selected and with decent markup. Prices are OK.

When we visited here, it was a beautiful summer evening so we were able to have our drinks outside accompanied by wonderful amuse bouche with the most intense flavours. The tasting menu is exquisite and the wine flight is well matched - we found the knowledge of all the staff who served us was excellent and enhanced our experience. They seem to be able to use an appropriate level of humour and warmth which can be a difficult balance to strike. I could not describe the food in sufficient detail here to do it justice but we had a wonderful evening and i would recommend it most highly.

Just a Sunday lunch to review, but it was excellent for the £50 or so per head. Excellent service, attentive without being over the top, a nice ambience, and very good food indeed.

The tasting menu is fantastic, especially if you go for the paired wines as well. The atmosphere at Morston Hall is great as the decor is gentle English country cottage. The staff and service is tops - could not find fault at all.

We have been waiting to visit Morton for some time and finically had the opportunity, we booked a few months in advance, which is recommended. We stayed locally purely for this restaurant too, just in Holt.

From the moment we arrived to the moment we left it was perfection, from the staff , drink , ambiance and of course the food. I was so worried about not picking my food but I am so glad as I tried things I would never of ordered and loved them . 24 hours after dining and I still can not pick my favourite dish but one to mention was the carrot macaroon , Galton was cooking the night we went and this was invented that morning ! The strawberry dish was another standout dish but they were all so good. The cheese course was an additional cost but please try it as despite being full we wanted to experience all foods available and it was so good with such a choice of cheeses.

A great setting for a lovely lunch. The seasonal menu was delicious. We felt very well looked after as always.

This is a lovely place to stay and to eat. Our welcome was friendly and helpful and this was maintained by all the staff - nothing seemed too much trouble. We stayed in one of the garden suites - a light, comfortable, spacious area with everything you need and immaculately clean and maintained. Dinner was wonderful - we just love the style of food and are amazed that that such detail and care is continued with a menu which changes daily. We also chose the paired wines. The sommelier was lovely - very informative and obviously someone who takes a lot of pride and pleasure in her work. This was a special occasion so we treated ourselves to their picnic lunch - the most outstanding packed lunch I've ever had! The whole experience made a wonderful start to our holiday.

5 minutes walk from the sea and some beautiful walks

Having checked into our room earlier and a walk around the beautiful garden,we were ready for our meal .We started with a pre drink and canapés in the conservatory being overlooked by a picture of the owner and chef Galton Blackstock who happened to pass by and check everything was ok .We were led to our table in another room overlooking the garden we were having the tasting menu and decided to have the wine flight to accompany the meal.The food was cooked to perfection fresh,delicious and as you would expect from such a talented chef quirky in his presentation.The sommelier great in his choice of wine to bring out the best in the fantastic food.Served by great staff with excellent knowledge of food a great evening to celebrate a special night for us .

We have just enjoyed the most unbelievable meal at Morston. The head chef, Greg, produces consistently the best food we have eaten in the UK. It is a travesty that the restaurant only has 1 star - in comparison to the many average 1 star restaurants that we eat at in London, this is at least a 2 star meal. The wine list is outstanding whilst being affordable with many great wines priced cheaper than plonk in London. We hope that we will have a similar experience tomorrow - but only because we are staying in the hotel for another night. Quite outstanding.
