About the restaurant

Rocky Bottoms started out as an 1800s brick kiln with a purpose to fire bricks. Eventually the brick kiln was unable to compete with larger competitors and closed down after WW2. Since this time the brick kiln has offered itself as agricultural storage until it collapsed and stood derelict.

In 2008 the brick kiln’s potential and need of restoration was spotted by local fishing family; The Matthews. After years of love and attention, Rocky Bottoms, as we know it today was born. Our doors opened in May 2015, just in time for the start of the crab season. We deliver local shellfish from pot to plate in a laid back environment. Rocky Bottoms believes in enjoying the simpler things in life!

Worlington

About the restaurant

First established in 1570, Worlington Hall has welcomed guests from near and far for over 450 years through the arches of the majestic manor. The Hall is currently undergoing a sympathetic and tasteful restoration to create a serene East Anglian haven that will live on for many more years to come.

The Worlington restaurant is the heart of our hotel - locally reared meats, coastal catches and hand-picked produce take precedence, perfectly paired with our wine list, make for an evening of dining in the Suffolk countryside that's truly memorable.

About the restaurant

‘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.

Beautiful surroundings and excellent food. We chose to eat outside as the weather was just right. It was a lovely, relaxing experience looking over the gardens. We will be back.

Gastro Pub

King's Lynn

About the restaurant

The Crown & Mitre is a Grade II listed building built as private houses in the 1600's and converted into a pub in 1743.
Since that date the premises have retained not just the name but also the licence. It’s now an independent freehold pub business. We have recently taken over and are eager to create something unique to King’s Lynn.

As an established company and our key team having over 100 years experience in the licensed trade, we bring all our love for great food, wine and beer to the Crown & Mitre for your delight.

Located at the end of Ferry St on the shores of the great River Ouse the pub is steeped in nautical memorabilia that adds a touch of quirkiness and gets you wondering how old they are and where it all came from.

It was a prom night so they were very busy, they still tried to accomadate all the other guests who were there. Meat quality was a little low, steak was supposed go be medium rare but was well done and full of gristle. Peppercorn sauce and chips were divine. So I think the price point was a little steep. But you are paying for the view and lovely environment. Your waitresses are very attentive and tried their best even with a hectic evening!
