Bonallack Home Cooked is for people who want to eat and entertain well in North Norfolk without worrying about the catering. It supplies home cooked freezer food of an unusually high quality. Order on line and have it delivered to Big Sky Barn!

Waitrose delivers to our post code (PE31 8AG) several days a week. Is worth doing this in advance, as it can get booked up quickly. Barn is not on their address list yet, so use 'Field House' from address list, and put Big Sky Barn in delivery notes.

Tesco also delivers to our post code (PE31 8AG), most days. Closest shop is @ 20 mins away in Hunstanton. Is also in Fakenham and on the Hardwick Roundabout in Kings Lynn.

(Does deliver to PE31 8AG.) Good small supermarket @ 20 mins away in Hunstanton.

Small supermarket at Burnham Deepdale garage. Quite well stocked, @ 2 miles from the barn.

In Docking, small local spar shop, has the basics and a post office. Can be useful in a pinch. @ 3 miles away.

So much fresh pruduce in the area, from seafood and local cheeses to potatoes to artisan baking to soft fruit and my favorite, samphire in the summer.... It is so worth taking a little time to explore what is available.

Link to the internet guide to Burnham Market, comprehensive and really useful.

The renowned classic pub and restaurant in Burnham Market. Popular for good reason, book in advance! Does a good breakfast and delicious cream tea too. Lovely garden in the back, for eating and tables for drinking and people watching in the front.

This hotel has recently had a complete refurbishment and is even better than before. Calm, relaxed atmosphere and delicious food. The decor is new and a bit different from the standard gastro pub look. I like it.

Another 'Fying Kiwi" renovation, great addition to Brancaster. Most welcome!

Just 2 miles down the road, this is great for breakfasts and Sunday roasts in particular. But has good fresh, homemade food all the time. Only open for supper occasionally

This is just at the entrance to Holkham beach, so is a great place to retire to for a drink after a long walk, child friendly too. Food also very good and the design is Victorian Anglo Indian, very lush and quite special. Book for evenings and weekends.

Burnham Market. Handmade Norfolk ice cream, home baked scones, light lunches...

Fabulous views from the restaurant in Brancaster Staithe, must book in advance, very popular. Good stop for a drink on a coastal walk, as it is right off the path.

This old favorite in Thornham retains a real smugglers rest feeling. It is in a great spot to combine walking with a meal. In administation at the moment, the rumour mill says that it has been bought by the Marco Pierre White, Frankie Dettori group...)

Sedgeford, just a few miles inland from Brancaster, but away from the tourist path. This is a real pub with real ales and real pub food. It is unusual for the coastal area and very popular with locals.

Yes, this is the pub you remember from when you were a teenager. It is still popular with the teenage crew, but also has it's own microbrewery and a good play area in the beer garden. Pizza oven and chips! Good for place a family on a sunny evening.

Burnham Market. Homemade cakes, specialty coffees, sandwiches etc. Good for a respite from either wintry weather or summer crowds!

Stanhoe. This is a very handy local pub (more restaurant then pub really) by a sweet duckpond in a pretty village in between Big Sky Barn and Burnham Market. It has been renovated recently and looks good. Gastro Pub menu.

Is this the perfect country pub? I think so. Locals agree and it is very hard to get a table here without a booking. Great local produce, good beer, well chosen wines, good atmosphere. Delicious 'curry and a pint' for £10 on Mondays.

This feels very authentic, pub grub, and is both across the street from a beautiful village green and has a big beer garden in the back. Very cosy in the winter too. A real must try is 'Nelson's Blood' a house speciality, lethal but delicious.

Gorgeous old building in Holt. Cafe and Deli... Always very busy and bustling, really great cakes and lovely atmosphere at tea time. They do all meals, but I especially like breakfast there, terrific! Hugely child friendly too.

01328 738866, Chinese takeaway by the garage in Burnham Market. All the basic takeaway favourites, not bad at all.

In pretty Ringstead a few miles down the road from Big Sky Barn. Great place for a relaxing drink or snack. Walled beer garden. Near the great Peddars Way walking and the Courtyard Farm walking.

This is a classic Michelin Star restaurant and it has one! Formal and lots of foie gras. In Old Hunstanton, so very handy and apparently rich and delicious food.

Fish and Chip Van, Monday: The Green Burnham Market 5-7pm, then opposite Tourist Info Brancaster Staithe 7.15-8pm Tuesday: Next to Orange Tree Pub Thornham: 4.30pm onwards, Wednesday: by Church, Broad Lane Brancaster: 5-7pm. Happy to do private parties.

I think these are the best around (they fry new potatoes), and you really can't beat the seafront at Wells next the Sea for old fashioned seaside holiday atmosphere.

01485 518656, call to order your fresh fish and chips and collect, only 2 miles down the road.

This is in Walsingham and is a part of the farm shops complex. It has a brilliant fish/free range chicken and chips counter, all cooked to order and a quirky restaurant in another room serving only local produce, including beer and cider. Very individual

Leatheringsett. Flying Kiwi again... Lovely pub renovation. Good food, large play area and outside seating.

Local chef Galton Blackiston is gaining a national reputation, and has a Michelin Star* . Morston Hall is a formal place in a beautiful spot. If you don't fancy the trip, try his cookbooks in the kitchen at Big Sky Barn!

Seasonal cafe on the Wiveton Hall Estate after Blakeney on coast road. Totally beautiful setting, very seasonal food. Breakfast lunch and tea (also children's menu). Open 10am-8pm Shop with unique Bridgewater pottery. Worth the trip. Love, love it!

In Kings Lynn, combine with a visit to a show at the Corn Exchange, or a film at the Arts Centre. A real gem of a find in Kings Lynn, which is really short of good eating places. Other options are the fairly decent Prezzo or Nandos, Pizza Express...

I think this is the best local Chinese takeaway. It is in East Rudham, so is a 20 minute trek, but is worth a detour if you are coming past.

Typical Indian restaurant in Hunstanton. Handy for a takeaway.

I think this is a bit better than the Hunstanton Indian take away, but is a longer drive unless you are passing through Fakenham. See the link for a sample menu.

Good Indian restaurant in Holt. Seems to be mostly used as a take away.
