It’s a family affair

Think about restaurants and family, and the Roux name springs to mind. The story of the pioneering brothers, their children Alain (The Waterside Inn, Bray), Michel Jr., and his daughter Emilie (Caractère, Notting Hill) has been told often. So too has the Stein story. Rick Stein and Jill Stein’s three sons Ed, Jack and Charlie are all directors of the Stein restaurant empire.

Norfolk is a cliché-writer’s dream. Can anyone ever write about it without mentioning big skies, endless horizons, vast beaches, and timeless villages? As happens with clichés, they’re rooted in truth. See for yourself on an unhurried trip along the coast road between Hunstanton in the west towards Cromer in the east. Frame it with food, and take your time; those skies, horizons, beaches and villages are worth it.
