About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for scenic views
‘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.

    We eat out a lot. Booked this for Mother’s Day and this was the best Sunday lunch I can remember anywhere. The sharing plates are sensational.

    Staff were extremely attentive during the busy Mothers Day lunchtime session. I arrived early but was seated immediately. Staff were friendly and professional. The food arrived very quickly and I thoroughly enjoyed both courses.

    We visited in March and we were not disappointed super friendly staff the food was absolutely amazing can’t wait to sit in the beautiful garden in the summer months enjoying a delicious non-alcoholic cocktail and some fresh seasonal produce. P.S - splashing out on the oysters is a must I wish I’d ordered 12 for a table of two - Outstanding

    Our lunch party of 7 ranged in age from 70's to 6, with dietary requirements including meat and non meat eaters, and gluten free. The kitchen and staff produced a delicious 3-course meal for each of us. Wonderful setting, warm and attractive dining room and friendly staff. Excellent.

    I went with two friends visiting the area. We all had duck main which was delicious (good portion size, beautifully cooked; red cabbage and potato accompaniment perfect) as were the carrot and spinach sides. Couldn’t resist dessert - crumble lovely but one friend had the clotted cream rice pudding and rated it 11/10. Service excellent- attentive but not obtrusive. Very reliable venue and a perfect evening meal.
