British, Modern Restaurants in Caistor St Edmund
1. Stoke Mill
British, Modern restaurant in Stoke Holy Cross
Mill Road - NR14
On the River Tas, this 700-year-old mill was once home to the business that became Colman’s Mustard and has been run by Ludo and Andy Rudd since 2013. We had good, if slightly guarded reviews about its longstanding restaurant, but none of its new, more exciting offshoot – Store – which opened in 2021 and where Hazel Yuill and Liam Nichols won a Michelin star in early 2023 for their seven-course tasting menu at £110 per person (hence we’ve left it unrated).
2. Brasteds
British, Modern restaurant in Framingham Pigot
Manor Farm Barns - NR14
Brasted’s Award Winning Restaurant is located in the picturesque privately owned village of Framingham Pigot. With its warm, inviting décor and friendly staff it’s the perfect choice for any special occasion or celebration. Our A La Carte Menu changes on a seas...
3. The Wildebeest Arms
British, Modern restaurant in Stoke Holy Cross
82-86 Norwich Rd - NR14
Locally born chef Daniel Smith’s “modern British” cuisine at his village pub-restaurant on the edge of Norwich is “always a winner” for its “imaginative flavours” and “excellent service”. “We eat here regularly and it’s first-rate both for the food and the pleasant atmosphere”, while “the set lunch and the tasting menu are both brilliant”. The venue’s name is left over from a previous African-themed incarnation.
4. Roger Hickman’s
British, Modern restaurant in Norwich
79 Upper St. Giles St - NR2
“The best restaurant in Norwich (which is not intended to damn with faint praise!)”, according to fans of Roger Hickman’s “classy” and long-established dining destination in the city centre (which narrowly edged ahead of nearby Benedicts this year in our annual diners’ poll). All reports applaud the “very assured cooking” – “deeply flavoured with deft presentation and lovely combinations, without a single gimmick or fad”. Service is “willing” (“polite, charming, considerate, good-humoured!”) and “the room itself is elegant, and the napery satisfying”. One gripe – “it would be better to have their more extensive à la carte menu back in the evenings, but I guess the focus on a tasting format is a sign of the times”.
5. Benedicts
British, Modern restaurant in Norwich
9 St Benedicts St - NR2
Chef-patron Richard Bainbridge’s “brilliant, fresh and exciting food” wows reporters at the restaurant he opened with his partner Katja almost 10 years ago. With “great staff and a wonderful ambience”, it is yet again plugged by many diners as “the best in Norwich”, but its local rival Hickman’s just had the edge in our annual diners’ poll this year, due to a small minority of critics who found the food “hyped and average” (“but we might have hit them on a bad day”).
6. Farmyard Restaurant
British, Modern restaurant in Norwich
23 Saint Benedicts Street - NR2
Chef Andrew Jones returned to his Norfolk origins seven years ago after working for Richard Corrigan and Claude Bosi, to open this modern venue that “never fails” with its locally sourced meals – “we love going there for lunch”. He and his partner, Hannah, also ran The Dial House restaurant-with-rooms in Reepham for five years, before selling up in autumn 2023.
7. Mark Poynton at Caistor Hall
British, Modern restaurant in Caistor St Edmund
Stoke Road - NR14
Ex-Alimentum chef Mark Poynton opened an eponymous restaurant at this country house hotel ten minutes’ drive from Norwich in March 2023, with Byron Franklin as his head chef. The debut allowed little time for feedback in our annual diners’ poll on their offering which features a five-course menu for £75 per person; or a nine-course menu for £100 per person.
