‘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 were greeted and treated really well. The food was very tasty. Starter delicious. Chicken pie meant for two was actually enough for three. Would have like a little more choice for our veggie companion. A beautiful setting.

Great overall. Felt the main courses are a little overpriced given how few vegetables come with the dishes but everything was delicious and the service was exceptional. It was good to be back after such a long time away.

The Mill is a wonderful place. 3rd visit is so many years and each visit has been excellent. Good beer choice and drinks selection. The food is excellent and staff are friendly. The garden and mill create a great place to meet and relax.

Meal took over an hour to arrive. Some portions were too small (sea trout). The place is lovely but the eating experience was disappointing.
