‘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 really enjoyed our food and service was good. It was a little cool so could be warmer and I’m afraid I’m not keen on dogs in eating areas. Generally really happy though. Many thanks.

    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.
