Stoke Mill

Norfolk, Stoke Holy Cross - Modern British - Restaurant - ££

Overall Rating: Good

Uniqueness:Does the establishment stand out in the context of the local area? Good

Deliciousness:How delicious is the food? Good

Warmth:How warm is the service and the hospitality in general? Very Good

Strength of recommendation:How enthusiastically and widely would you recommend the establishment? Good

* The restaurant has added a seven-course taster (£85) to its repertoire.* Back in the day, Jeremiah Colman and his people milled mustard within the white weatherboarded walls of Stoke Mill. Now, bar some monochrome pictures of generously bearded Victorian men, and the river Tas still flowing through on its way to Norwich, there’s little to remember that industry. The handsome building is busy in other ways, however, drawing a steady stream of appreciative diners into the contemporary, airy space to eat at Andy Rudd’s table – and be looked after by a warm and welcoming front-of-house team. Guests come for the chef/co-owner’s appealing bistro-style cooking, kicking off with complementary canapés and warm home-baked bread. Next, there might be a fluffy twice-baked soufflé, tangy with smoked Norfolk Dapple cheese (its richness balanced by spinach) or, perhaps, local asparagus with fried quail’s egg and hollandaise. To follow, try monkfish...

Back in the day, Jeremiah Colman and his people milled mustard within the white weatherboarded walls of Stoke Mill. Now, bar some monochrome pictures of generously bearded Victorian men, and the river Tas still flowing through on its way to Norwich, there’s little to remember that industry. The handsome building is busy in other ways, however, drawing a steady stream of appreciative diners into the contemporary, airy space to eat at Andy Rudd’s table – and be looked after by a warm and welcoming front-of-house team. Guests come for the chef/co-owner’s appealing bistro-style cooking, kicking off with complementary canapés and warm home-baked bread. Next, there might be a fluffy twice-baked soufflé, tangy with smoked Norfolk Dapple cheese (its richness balanced by spinach) or, perhaps, local asparagus with fried quail’s egg and hollandaise. To follow, try monkfish (lively with the flavours of Thailand) or sea bass with a generous crab croquette and zippy warm tartare sauce; alternatively, you could honour history with braised beef cheek accompanied by Colman’s mustard mash. Finish with a cheerful lemon posset – a deliciously sharp discovery as you spoon through passion-fruit foam and sorbet, fresh blueberries and pieces of meringue to reach the set cream itself. An excellent-value set lunch offers three courses for £35, including a glass of house wine and coffee.
