Fantastic meal Ludo and his team fitted us in with no drama although i made a mistake with my booking. A great meal with professional friendly service.

Took my mum for her birthday. She had never done a taster menu, and has always been skeptical over the idea. I'm a big fan of taster menus but had never been to the Stoke Mill. I am pleased to say we both had a fantastic time, and the food was superb.

We went for my husband’s birthday lunch and had a great meal. Also we must commend on all staff, who were very nice, professional and friendly. I am vegan and GF and everyone went out of the way to accommodate my dietary restrictions. I had tofu to start with and saffron risotto for main followed by something amazing and fluffy for dessert. My husband had chicken liver pate, sea bass and cream brulee. Everything we can recommend 100%, all beautiful! We can’t recommend this place enough, very uplifting experience! Well done all team!

Excellent celebration lunch. Peaceful setting, modern without being stuffy, service very welcoming. Food was very good, a broad range of choices with excellent depth of flavours and textures carefully combined for a delicious meal. Beef beautifully cooked, and vegetables aldente, so full of flavour. Thank you to the team for a memorable visit. We will be returning soon!.

Lovely restaurant in a small village. Friendly staff with great service and reasonably priced menu. Straightforward, well executed cooking,

Booked as a present for my mum. Staff were very helpful at the point of booking, advising about accessibility and arranging so we could park at the back for ease of access for my mum. Very quick email responses and a call on the morning of the booking to double-check everything. Food, service, ambience was all excellent. We really had a great time and look forward to coming back again soon!

Great first experience with this place Highly recommend the Norfolk souffle as starter. The bavette steak was tender and full of flavour. We also loved the raspberry Bakewell tart, it was perfect to have with coffee/tea. Will be returning.

First time here celebrating a great friend's birthday. Service was great with just the right amount of interaction. Food was exceptional, so full of flavour that you just didn't want each fork full to end. This was in the 'normal' restaurant, not the STORE which has the Michelin star, so god knows what the food is like in there. 100 a head its a treat meal by my, what a treat. Definitely returning.
