KING’S LYNN
The Rathskeller Wine Bar and Bistro opened in December 2013. It is a family owned and run venture. The Bistro offers a freshly cooked menu of the finest homemade dishes using prime Norfolk produce. We source seasonal ingredients from local suppliers where possible, so the menu changes on a regular basis, with a variety of daily specials too. The Bistro offers a relaxed dining experience for everyone whatever the occasion. It is recognised not only for its fine food, but also for its friendly atmosphere and good service, nothing is too much trouble.
The Rathskeller has a handpicked wine menu to suit all tastes. We offer a variety of excellent and popular real ales, lager and bottled beers and a comprehensive spirit selection. Our Bar staff are more than happy to mix your favourite cocktail too.
