East Rudham, British, Modern Restaurant Guide

This conversion of an 18th-century watermill is owned by sisters Siobhan and Caitriona (whose brother, Oliver Peyton, is the figurehead of the family’s London catering business). Reports are not super-numerous but all positive, praising its “lovely food” and – in his July 2025 review – The Times’s Giles Coren came out as a big fan, having enjoyed a setting so idyllic that “you wouldn’t have to serve such good food if you didn’t want to. You could just charge people to stand here”, but whose food more than lived up to the setting, and included a juicy pork rib eye and roasted peaches that “sounds a bit suburban, a bit 1980s, but it works beautifully”.
