‘Great British food in a striking riverside mill’

A true hidden gem, Sculthorpe Mill is a breath taking pub buried in the heart of the glorious Norfolk countryside built atop the River Wensum. Originally a watermill dating back to 1757, it has been lovingly restored by sisters Siobhan and Caitriona Peyton and they have created a haven for foodies and pub lovers alike, as well as one of the best pub gardens in Norfolk. This is a stunning contemporary dining pub, complete with chic bedrooms and a menu of expertly crafted modern British dishes.

Sculthorpe Mill’s seasonal menu changes regularly to make the most of Norfolk’s bountiful produce and all our core ingredients are locally sourced, foraged from land and sea before being passionately turned into award-winning dishes.

Come spring and summer, our garden is the ideal pace to enjoy an evening meal alfresco, or even just a crisp glass of rosé as you listen to the rush of the river or the buzzing of bees in the flower garden.

Was Looking forward to taking friends here for lunch. Total disaster, our food order Was forgotten, waitress apologised and gave us 3 slices of bread for 4 people to keep us going - waited another 20 minutes. Starters were nice (all cold so not sure why we had to wait for them to be cooked), we then had to remind her to clear the plates and waited another 40 Minutes for main course. Will not be back.

We were heading out for a sail with Coastal Explorations in the morning and were staying in the area. Someone recommended this restaurant and we weren't disappointed. From the aperitif to the dessert via some amazing dishes including spaghetti with hazelnuts to chicory with pears and walnuts, we went on an incredible and unexpected food journey. The drinks were delicious and also not overpriced. Those serving us were super friendly and helpful and the overall ambiance was welcoming. Would definitely recommend.

The building has such a cozy warmth to it with its low ceilings and exposed wooden beams. Food is excellent, highlighting many local Norfolk sources of produce and alcoholic beverages.

This is a gem of a place. Seated by a wood burner which gave that extra warmth and ambience. Food was delicious and expertly plated ( venison pate and confit of duck). The staff were friendly and attentive . Highly recommended for a quiet, intimate meal.
