The Ingham Swan
I invite you to discover our award-winning restaurant located in North East Norfolk just minutes from the coast. It's a place where I grew up, where I developed an insatiable appetite for the finest and freshest food. We offer fine dining in a relaxed, show-stopping setting thanks to our heritage building.

We've got a cast-iron commitment to seasonality, taking great pride in bringing dishes together that embrace every season. Our locally-inspired menu changes daily across our Lunch & Dinner Du Jour, A La Carte, Taster and Sunday Lunch; featuring Ingham Swan favourites, brand new dishes as well as ideas and flavours from my time on BBC2's Great British Menu as well as time I have spent in leading London restaurants.
Services
Four of our rooms are located off the central courtyard in the converted coach house, just a few steps from the restaurant. Or opt to stay in one of our three contemporary Superior King rooms, with feature bathrooms located in our Cottage accommodation, just yards from our front door. Our rooms are the perfect place to contentedly sleep off a memorable meal.
We're always on the lookout for people serious about a career in hospitality to join our growing team. Chef Patron Daniel Smith and business partner, Gregory Adjemian are owner-operators of G&D Ventures. Norfolk born & bred, their business values are based on trust and confidence and their skill sets complement and underpin their business objectives and goals.
Please view our Sample Menus - but it is important to note that we are unable to guarantee any specific dish as our menus change on a daily basis with the changing seasons and availability of the very best ingredients. Our A La Carte, Du Jour and Taster Menus are available both Lunch and Dinner from Monday to Sunday with the exception of Sunday Lunch when we offer a dedicated Sunday Lunch Menu.

The Festive taster menu was absolutely amazing. Each course was beautifully presented and tasted divine. Faultless and I am in awe of the work that must go into them. Brilliant.

Third time there and just as good as the first time. Brilliant staff, delightful surroundings and just the right amount of time between courses.
Nice to see a full recovery from the devastating fire they suffered a few years ago.

Excellent food. Well cooked, well presented and served with care.
We live in Essex and were on our way to Wells on the North Norfolk coast but on recommendation made a deter to The Swan at Ingham for lunch and were very glad we did.

Had one of the best if not the best meals we have ever had cannot fault anything from outstanding service to delicious food. We had the menu du jour which was not only delicious but great value as well given the standard of the cuisine. We will definitely return the next time we are in the area I only wish we lived closer.

Our waitress was lovely (that’s the 1 star) but the food was well below average, especially considering the price. Barman had no idea what an Old Fashioned was which was comedic. Perplexed at why most meals are covered in an odd oily green sauce? Started with the scallops with chicken (bizzare combo) there was such little chicken it was barely worth mentioning on the description. Scallops were tiny & over cooked for £16.50 I’ve had tastier elsewhere. Apple sauce underneath did not compliment the dish at all, too sharp for delicate scallops. The pigeon breast starter was nice. Nothing to write

Fantastic decadent luncheon with friends for a special occasion. Absolutely delicious food and far exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend and return. It's not a frequent place to visit if you have to budget! For special occasions its perfect.

The Ingham Swan was an ideal dinning experience. The 7 course tasting menu was perfectly sized and absolutely delicious. The paired wine flight was spot on. The staff was very knowledgeable. All in all, I will be going back.

A lovely evening with a delicious menu. Service was brilliant with good attention to detail, friendly conversation and precision timing. The Ingham had kindly rearranged a table for us, with the acceptable request of needing the table back for a relay- otherwise we would have stayed all evening.
