Welcome To Bradley's

At Bradley's we try harder! Our a la carte restaurant and wine bar offer diverse menus with locally grown seasonal produce. We host a popular wine society and themed evenings. Our secluded courtyard and quayside tables are perfect for summer relaxation and the restaurant is available for private hire including birthday parties, society dinners, wedding receptions and other celebrations.

We look forward to seeing you soon. Regardless of how much time you spend with us... a relaxed coffee or a splendid three course dinner... we are sure that you will thoroughly enjoy the experience.

Bradley's, where dreams come true

Bradley's is the realization of a dream. My wife Julie and I both enjoy dining out however we have found that there are few establishments that consistently offer what we seek, namely fine cuisine matched with correctly served wines in an elegant but relaxed atmosphere. To this end we have created Bradley's on King's Lynn's historic waterfront.

The ground floor is given over to a relaxed wine bar and lounge where customers are invited to enjoy a light meal or a quiet drink while they watch the sunset over the river. The stylish restaurant is on the first floor with views of the river and is served by a customer lift. At the rear of the premises there is an enclosed courtyard for warm summer evenings.

Bradley's offer a friendly, non-smoking environment throughout the wine bar and restaurant.

The building itself has a colourful history. It was originally a Georgian Merchant's house, hence the Belvedere on the top floor, a lookout position for homecoming ships, the last surviving example in King's Lynn. In the mid 19th Century it became "The Mariners Arms" a busy, if at times tawdry, hostelry which eventually closed in 1968. Thereafter it had a number of uses and when we bought it was being used as offices with an upstairs flat. We decided that the refurbishment should be in the Georgian style to reflect the character of the building and have used original materials wherever possible.

And the reason for the name?

Julie breeds pedigree Labradors and Bradley is her stud dog. Anyone who meets him invariably falls in love with him, so it seemed an appropriate name which also elicits an image of the quality which we aim to deliver to our customers.
