2014 In this guide... You’ll find some of the very best the Broads has to offer in terms of eating experiences, including traditional pubs, speciality seafood restaurants and cosy riverside tea rooms. Every business featured serves local ingredients - which could include beef from farmers, game from estates, samphire and seafood from the coast and locally-grown fruit and vegetables. And even better, these establishments have been quality checked by independent assessors and scored highly. Quality in Tourism judged that all achieved at least 60% in their tests. The Broads Authority started the Quality Charter scheme back in 2001 with just a handful of establishments. Today, there’s a fine range to choose from and each year standards get higher. So relax and enjoy the Broads - Britain’s Magical Waterland - and take your pick. At the back of this guide (pages 17 to 22) you’ll find lots of ideas for other things to enjoy in the Broads - boat trips, canoeing, cycling and much more… Contents Restaurants by location Note 4 Acle Please phone to check details such 4-5 Beccles as opening hours, access for disabled 6 Brundall people, and availability of vegetarian 6 Burgh Castle and vegan food.
