Best cheap restaurants in Norfolk picked by Galton Blackiston | UK News

As part of the Cheap Eats series in our Money blog, we ask Michelin chefs to pick their favourite place for a cheap meal where they live and when they cook at home. This week we speak to Galton Blackiston of the Michelin-starred Morston Hall in Norfolk…

Hi Galton, can you tell us your favourite places in Norfolk where you can get a meal for two for less than £40?

Allium in Downham Market, a family run restaurant which involves mum, dad, Joe in kitchen and James front of house. Open Wednesday through to Sunday, it has a great vibe on a Saturday evening and great food.

Bure River Restaurant, a tiny restaurant on the broads in Horning cooking lovely fish dishes.

Final cheap place is the Parlour in Binham, where they have a great restaurant and you put money into an honesty box for their local cheese from the village and raw milk from their farm – a great place to visit in Norfolk.

What’s your go-to cheap meal at home?

Toad in the hole with a baked potato and hispi cabbage and onion gravy.

A good tip I would say is to colour off the sausages in dripping then pour over the batter, which should be eight eggs, 250g plain flour, one pint of full fat milk, salt pepper and nutmeg. Whisk together and allow to sit for an hour til you use.

And this is how you do the hispi cabbage with cling film over the pan…

Wagamama owner to close restaurants as surge in costs drives annual loss | Business News

Restaurant Group, owner of brands including Wagamama and Frankie & Benny’s, has revealed plans to close dozens of sites while reporting a slump into the red during 2022.

The company said it was aiming to cut its leisure estate by about 30% to between 75-85 sites by 2024 from 116 sites at present.

That side of the business includes the Frankie & Benny’s and Chiquito names.

Restaurant Group, which has come under pressure from investors in recent months, said the 35 sites earmarked for closure were all loss-making.

It blamed pressures due to higher inflation which include energy, ingredients and wages.

The company said rising costs were the primary factor behind its plunge to an annual operating loss of almost £50m despite strong sales growth across its divisions which, it said, had continued at the start of 2023.

Total sales of £883m compared with a sum of £636.6m the year before when it had made profits of £11.8m despite continued headwinds from the COVID pandemic.

Shares fell by more than 12%.

Chief executive Andy Hornby said: “We’ve delivered a strong operating performance for the year in a market which has continued to pose a number of headwinds for casual dining operators.

Inflation eases but remains above 10%

“Current trading has been very encouraging to the great credit of our teams who continue to ensure our customers receive the best experience possible.

“We have a clear plan to increase… margins over the next three years and deliver significant value for all our stakeholders.”

Restaurant Group’s performance has been called into question by a number of institutional shareholders.

Last month, Oasis Management publicly called for the company to take immediate steps to restore market confidence.

Bloomberg reported on Tuesday that activist investor Irenic Capital Management, was also pushing for change.

It said that it had held had private discussions with the company over several suggestions, including potential divestiture of its pubs and concessions businesses.

It had also demanded that corporate costs were reduced, the report added.
