The Café at Brovey Lair
A very private place

Winner of the Good Food Guide’s Best Fish Restaurant 2010 award, The Café at Brovey Lair is still the Guide’s highest scoring restaurant in Norfolk and its chef Tina Pemberton one of the country’s top ten women running their own restaurant. She has a grade six for “Exemplary cooking skills, innovative ideas, impeccable ingredients and an element of excitement.”

The restaurant was the subject of a new TV programme for BBC2 called Restaurant in your Home (view footage ») and shows how Tina, ably assisted by husband Mike, can help aspiring restaurateurs set up a professional restaurant in their own front room or anywhere with enough space. There is a consultancy based around the programme and they are happy to talk it through with anyone who may be interested in starting a similar business. Just call 01953 882706 and ask for Tina or Mike.

“We took a real gamble coming to Norfolk where breaking gastronomic barriers is viewed with suspicion,” Tina said. “To choose pan-Asian fusion was audacious enough, but a set menu featuring solely prime fish and seafood cooked in front of guests on a Japanese teppan grill in a conservatory at the back of my house – well even I began to doubt my own sanity!”

Join Tina on a romantic oriental journey that will take you across Europe to India, Thailand, China, Japan and the Pacific Rim. Exotic, erotic, peripatetic - call it what you will, you’ll rediscover tastes and flavours you never thought possible at Brovey Lair, the most romantic restaurant in Norfolk.

Hedonistic and unashamedly secretive Brovey Lair is a private place where the food is orgasmic, the wines caringly selected and the overnight experience unrivalled. No kids, no dogs and no noise other than the cooing of black collared doves and Norfolk breezes gently whispering their way through eleven weeping willows. Blissfully hard to find and wickedly indulgent, once you’re there you may just want to stay for ever!
