Our menu 

We regularly change our range of scrumptious chef's specials. Using fresh, locally sourced produce, our menu offers great variety. Find delicious warm meals in the Stables and an array of cakes, soups, sandwiches and snacks in our Muddy Boots and Farmyard cafés.

The Stables

You'll find plenty of choice at The Stables, from hot and cold dishes to soup, sandwiches and cakes.  We use local, seasonal produce wherever possible and have a continual supply of fruit and vegetables from the walled garden.  

Muddy Boots

You'll find wholesome, hearty snacks served all day, in a relaxing environment, and it's the ideal place to warm up after a blustery walk. Muddy Boots is next to Visitor Reception in the main car park and offers a cosy atmosphere, whatever the weather. Dogs are welcome.

The Farmyard Café

The perfect spot for a quick break whilst on a walk around the estate with your four-legged friends*. Grab a snack or hot drink and continue with your visit. You'll find the café in the Farmyard, by the bookshop, stamp shop and plant centre.

*Dogs are welcome in Muddy Boots and the Farmyard, but are not permitted on the main driveway, in the East Wing, house or formal garden.

The Bucks Arms

You'll find this seventeenth century traditional pub and former coaching inn, on the walk down from the main car park to the house.  A pub and restaurant with rooms, it's the perfect place to start or end your day at Blickling Estate or plan for a romantic winter break.
