Hotel Norfolk or Suffolk, nice but traditional food

[Norfolkandchance]

Hi,

We are trying to book a hotel for my in-laws (mid 70s but fit and active) for their golden wedding. We were looking at places like Dunston Hall - around a couple of hundred quid for dinner, bed and breakfast.

Unfortunately, my father-in-law has a very limited range of food he'll eat and modern menus with jus, pestos, pine nuts or similar, even garlic, will concern him. He would genuinely find it very stressful and the evening would be spoiled. Basically he wants steak. He would not feel comfortable asking for a steak that came with a sauce without the sauce.

So we thought a posh pub, like the Victoria at Holkham, but even those seem to do every thing "fancy".

So we are looking for a nice hotel with nice rooms that does simple food. Any suggestions gratefully received!

Thanks

Thanks for all the replies. I'll follow them up.

My in-laws however, would not like anything "sharing" - they don't even really like buffets - and certainly wouldn't go anywhere near a spar / sauna!
