New start for
The Wheatacre White Lion was given a new lease of life when Jay Meades took the pub on last year. Jay picked up the keys in September and spent two months giving the pub a complete refit. Jay opened the doors on No- vember 10th and from there he has not looked back. Located in picturesque south Norfolk, the White Lion is certainly a rural village pub, but one with a twist. Enter the pub in the winter months and you are greeted by a roaring log fire giving the building a warm cosy feeling. The bar is stocked with all your

favourite local ales as well as a good selection of lager, cider, spirits, wines and soft drinks. The stylish country décor sits somewhere between contem- porary village cottage and rural hunting lodge – it really is a stunning place to be. From the outside the imposing building looks welcoming, with a large gravel car park to the front and huge gardens and campsite to the rear. With the bar well stocked, Jay knew a good food offering was also a priority. With this in mind he began looking for a chef. As luck would have it he was introduced to head Chef,
Martin Jarrett, by a friend of a friend and the two have worked closely together ever since. Martin has over 20 years’ ex- perience as a chef and has been Head Chef at many notable local restaurants. When Jay approached him he liked the idea of working at this excit- ing venue whilst having the freedom to design and create his own menu. Naturally, with so much experience, Jay is only too happy to leave the kitchen in Martin’s hands. Martin has put together a menu which includes some tradition- al classics along with a selec- tion of seasonal specials. How- ever, the menu certainly has his stamp on it and the dishes are cooked using fresh, local ingredients before being beau- tifully presented. Already, in the first couple of months, the team have become renowned for their food which includes a gorgeous traditional Sunday roast with three meats availa- ble, and a weekday lunch menu with special offers on two and three course meals. Everything is made in-house, so you can be assured of the finest fresh food. Jay also runs an events busi- ness. So, along with Martin’s experience of catering for events, the Wheatacre White Lion is now the ideal venue for all occasions. The large res- taurant can seat plenty but for parties that will need additional space there is a marquee avail- able to cater for big numbers such as weddings. Everything is handled in-house and Martin can work with clients to design a menu to fit taste and budget - whether it is a simple buffet or
a more formal sit-down meal. Please ask the team for any further details if you would like to know more about holding an event at the White Lion. There is always something go- ing on here. Whether it is the monthly quiz on the last Mon- day of the month or Piano mu- sic in the bar on a Sunday with David Johnston. The next event is Valentine’s Day on Wednes- day 14th February. The cost is only £25 per person which cov- ers a three-course meal and live music from local artist Mark Anthony. Again, please call to book your table. Jay has a simple vision for the
pub. To offer good food and drink and be open and inclu- sive to anyone and everyone that comes through the door. The pub is family and dog friendly so why not book a ta- ble and come and see what it is all about? For any further in- formation please call the team on 01502 677388 or find them on
