‘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.

    Food was excellent, really really good. The service was incredibly slow, took about 45 minutes to get starters even after querying with the serving staff. Then a long time for mains and for puddings. Really unfortunate as the food is incredible.

    Our meal was delicious. The starter I had was outstanding. Fresh ingredients with unusual flavours paired together. The service was excellent but the tables slightly too close together. I definitely would recommend for a treat meal.

    Great service, awesome food, good value. The only thing I’d suggest is more potatoes with the confit duck!
