Stoke Mill - Merelani

Amazing well made food and up their with the best in Norwich. The restaurant is in an old mill which makes for a lovely location to eat. I find the service a little off sometimes but I'm sure they mean well and do their best when busy.

Lost a star, and almost 2, for the fact that one of the senior front of house staff could do with reminding how to speak to colleagues, especially in ear shot of guests, phrases like “I’ll chop your head off” don’t have much place in any work environment. However, the remaining staff were great and the food, atmosphere and setting all excellent and so it feels unfair to not provide a just review on that basis.

Have been regular customers for years. The food is terrific. But have been trying to book a celebration in Store, and hit brick walls. One member of staff was very poor in the way she treated us, calls not returned as promised, said she was too busy etc. etc. But the owner would rather side with her, despite us telling him exactly what she said. They have lost a significant booking (at least £2,000) but don't seem to care. So we will not care about going back. There are plenty of other restaurants.

They enjoy a nice 3-course menu for £30, all presented on a high standard, the minute steak was cooked to perfection, the small appetizers just put the icing on the cake.

It has been many years since we went to Stoke Mill and so glad we returned. Went for lunch, for main we both had the Halibut with King prawns, mussels, squid, paella rice,lobster bisque, the way everything was cooked was excellent, so tasty, for dessert we had the Hot Chocolate Fondant, it was heaven. The lunch was expensive but well worth it, the staff were very pleasant and the restaurant has a lovely atmosphere. I would highly recommend.
