A visit to Byfords is about the whole experience. This is a family-run business offering fresh, local food that’s cooked on the premises. But it’s far more than simply a collection of delicious dishes.
A visit to Byfords is also about the atmosphere. This intriguing building is steeped in history and provides a magical environment for all sorts of occasions, from a quick coffee or working lunch to a leisurely meal with friends. People of all ages and backgrounds come together at Byfords, and consequently there’s always a buzz. The food may be posh but it’s certainly not pretentious and the service is efficient yet informal. So how should you dress to eat here? Just go with the flow and wear what you like - simply relax and enjoy yourselves.
Byfords is without doubt one of the town’s most beautiful buildings. Believed to be Holt’s oldest house, this flint-fronted, Grade II-listed property has a wealth of character, with all sorts of attractive nooks and crannies. Some of its floors may be crooked and its doorways rather narrow, but together with the brick and flint walls, beautiful pamment floors, and intertwining rooms, these all add to the atmosphere. Some rooms have feature fireplaces, others open on to an alfresco terrace, while the light and airy conservatory is ideal in all weathers. And the good news continues - upstairs you’ll find a range of beautiful guest rooms boasting oak beams, flint walls, marble bathrooms and, of course, all the latest mod cons.
