‘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.

    Second time we have dined at Sculthorpe Mill in the last year. We have also been for drinks in the lovely garden in the summer. Sculthorpe Mill has a cosy ambience and a great menu. The front of house staff were friendly and attentive without being imposing. The food was excellent. One of our favourite places to eat.

    Cosy snug and lovely ambiance. Beef was amazing would have preferred carrots rather than puree albeit didn’t take away from the fact most flavoursome food for a long time. Tarte Tatin was fabulous still tart with lovely caramelisation. Definitely a go to for Sunday lunch again.
