The closest pub to Top Farm is The Plough
(01263 735000) in Marsham, just over a
mile away, back into the village and then south down the main road. It does pub grub standards (fish and chips,
pies, etc), Cromer crabs, as well as slightly more adventurous stuff – lamb
shanks, duck confit, pork belly and the like. In Aylsham the Black Boys (01263 732122) right
in the centre of town does really good food and is a nice place for a drink. There’s also The Bucks Arms (01263 732133), now run by the same people, right
outside Blickling Hall – the food is excellent. Slightly further afield, and only really
feasible with a car, there’s The Saracen’s Head (01263 768909) in Erpingham, a few miles north of Aylsham, which is a
lovely family-run gastro pub with rooms to stay. There's no shop on site and nothing in the village,
so the closest place to stock up on provisions is Aylsham, three miles north.
