A Norfolk pub in a restored 18th-century watermill has been named one of the top 100 restaurants in the UK.

Sculthorpe Mill, near Fakenham, features in the 2023 list by independent restaurant and bar guide SquareMeal.

It was compiled using reviews from SquareMeal food critics and thousands of public votes. 

Sculthorpe Mill, which also features in The Michelin Guide, was the only Norfolk spot to make the list at 96.  

SquareMeal said: "This pretty country pub and hotel is located in the heart of rural Norfolk and is the perfect spot for a cosy bite.

"Along with fresh seasonal menus, this converted mill is packed full of character and charm."

Sculthorpe Mill reopened under new owners and sisters Siobhan and Caitriona Peyton in July 2021 after a huge refurbishment.

Elsewhere in East Anglia, seafood restaurant Sur-Mer at The Suffolk in Aldeburgh placed at number 91.
