Our news at the Dial House and Farmyard
THE DIAL HOUSE
We’ve been up to all sorts over the last few weeks. Our bar is open – Adnams are kindly helping us with the finishing drinkable touches this week and Andrew and Dan are working on a small snacks menu to compliment our cocktails – and dreams … The handmade gold Cellar table in our private dining space for 12 is in and looking proud, we’ve soundproofed the chef’s table room so you can watch the chefs squirrelling away – without the language! We’ve launched spa treatments – for residents and this week for locals too as we open our dedicated beauty room. We’ve also launched a brand new website. Take a peek here … www.thedialhouse.org.uk
This month we’re ready to announce our calendar line up of new demonstration events and also launch the Dial House Christmas Hampers featuring all our local super suppliers.
The Dial House Christmas Hampers have landed! The Dial House Deluxe hamper will be on sale from October onwards and features treats from our local suppliers in a Dial House wicker hamper – the perfect local gift for loved ones.
Our Dial House Grand Hamper can be ordered this month until the last week of November and can be collected from us in a carefully packed apple crate on the mornings of 22nd or 23rd December and will feature the same treats as the Deluxe hamper plus key players for the perfect Norfolk Christmas – including a beautiful free-range turkey, local cheese, Norfolk cider, award-winning sausages and a smoked gammon for Boxing day PLUS an optional upgrade of a black winter truffle – all provided by our favourite suppliers at The Dial House and Farmyard, and including our own Christmas pudding. Keep an eye on our social media for the full list of suppliers. If you love local then you won’t want to miss this.

FARMYARD
Introducing the Farmyard feasting Menu
LONG LIVE BEEF WELLY! We’ve launched our Christmas menu and we’re extremely pleased to say that from 27th November and through all of December we’ll be creating sharing style Beef Wellingtons. It’s been an ambition of mine for a while to feature a few impressive feasting dishes, Henry VIII style, so I’m keen to kick it off with these. ARE YOU GAME? It can’t happen yet because we’re waiting for the first frost to officially kick off game season … but when it does, I’ve got plans for a pheasant Kiev on the menu … Keep a beady eye on social media for the launch.
NEW LOOK LUNCH We’ve relaunched our lunchtime offering this month – it now features special wines by the glass and a regular steak frites appearance. Two courses for £15 and three for £19. Carafe of wine also available. Don’t forget we’re also open for theatre dining from 5.30pm with our new set menu. So, you can have a light supper and be at the Theatre Royal in time for curtain call.
