"On entrance, the hotel looked lovely. Stunning views all around and a nice looking hotel, unfortunately this set us up for a big fall. The house is old and in desperate need of updating, it seems to attract an older generation of people and the ambience in the restaurant was somewhat flat. We had an experience voucher for a 2 course set meal. The waitress told us it was a main and dessert, but my husband wanted a starter so was happy to pay. He ordered the scotch egg, which came out nicely presented, but £9 for half a scotch egg...!! If this was true fine dining, which I assume this hotel is trying to do, then perhaps we might accept that but it was nothing special in the slightest. We both ordered pork, I specifically asked if it was cooked a little pink, which I dont like, i was told no. However, when it arrived, it was definitely too undercooked for my liking. Being on a voucher, I didn't feel I could complain too much so my husband ate it. The pork was served with soggy sweet potato fries, which had ridiculously been left in gravy and the meat was wrapped in soggy, fatty bacon which they claimed to be pancetta. Vegetables were some overcooked cherry tomatoes and very strange pickled cauliflower, with no option to order any side veg. I eat out a fair amount and have always had the choice if ordering sides. Dessert was a double chocolate terrine, sounded nice on paper but reality was a sugary slab of something with only a hint of chocolate. The waitresses were not particularly helpful or professional and at the end of the meal, they charged us for 2 desserts, even though I had stuck to the 2 courses with the voucher. Apparently, it should have been starter and main included, not the mains and dessert we were told originally! Overall quite a disaster, I could have cooked something far better at home with little effort. Very disappointing."

Had a lovely meal. Service was a little slow as a large party came in but would go again.

They had a delightful 3-course dinner that was beautifully prepared, and they plan to return in the near future.

So disappointing, the food was dreadful. No atmosphere at all and the service was dreadful. Would NOT recommend to anyone. Voir le carte

This is a country hotel with a quirky feel about it. The downside to the dining experience was the service which was ok but we have had better.

The goat cheese tart (starter) was clearly mass produced and merely heated on the premises. The main course was OK but was the standard of pub food; no better. Very large dining room; only one other couple. On the plus side the wine was inexpensive.

I usually hesitate to recommend restaurants to others because everyone has different tastes, but I have no doubts about recommending Brooks. Every dish we had was delicious, the service was both friendly and efficient, and the entire meal was a great value. We actually stayed overnight as part of a package that included dinner, breakfast, and a lovely room. Thank you, Brooks, for making our wedding anniversary so special! Voir le carte

My birthday was a disappointment. When we arrived, the bar was in complete disarray, with unclean tables, takeout containers scattered around, and even clothes left lying about. We ordered drinks, but when we asked to open a tab because we were enjoying them, we were told that the restaurant was closing due to being at capacity. Our reservation had been made and confirmed, and we even received a reminder. What is going on with their booking system?

we came to brooks country house on 04.08.19 for a night stay. when we arrived, we were greeted by two friendly recipeists who checked in and showed us in our room. they said there was a birthday party in this night, but it shouldn't be too disgusting. we have settled in our room, which we unfortunately felt for updating and a really deep cleanliness. put on the shower, fragrant smell and crack everywhere! we have booked a table to eat 8 o'clock and after approx. We wait 5 minutes in a small dining room. we ordered our foods and appetizers were bought near enough immediately, which we a little shocked as they are clearly produced. I had the mushroom soup that was good, but I would not recomme...

"We were staying in the local area and the restaurant had been recommended by previous guests at our cottage. As we were celebrating a birthday we made a reservation for Saturday evening via the website. This was quickly confirmed by return email, but I had...to follow up with a phone call to provide my credit card to confirm the booking. The restaurant is a converted mill with some retained original features. We were pleased to see they were pretty busy. After a warm greeting by our friendly host we were shown to our table on the upper balcony area. This was more intimate than the main restaurant. We were given a small appetiser of a prawn salad in a lettuce leaf while we browsed the menu. There was plenty to choose from and some very interesting flavour combinations. My wife chose scallops and I had a braised brisket to start, followed by pork belly for my wife and lamb two ways for me. There is a very good wine list, but we went with one of the three house reds, which was very reasonably priced and delicious. While we waited for our food we were treated to an Amuse Bouche of tomato soup. This had a lovely fresh tomato taste. We also had some delicious bread with oil and balsamic dip. The courses were very good. The scallops with samphire were perfectly cooked and had a wonderful flavour. The brisket was very tender and had some lovely spice to it. The mains were equally delicious. The pork belly had been cooked perfectly, with a lovely crackling to it. The meat just melted and it came with a very nice celeriac and apple gratin. The lamb was a sous vide rump and a shoulder. It came with minted gnocchi. The flavours were delicious. Unfortunately we had eaten so well for the first two courses we didn’t have room to try the desserts, but the looked lovely. We finished with coffee and truffles, and a Cointreau for my wife, which provided a small comedy moment when the barman came over to check what we had ordered as the waitress had ordered a coffee and poncho!! The staff were so friendly and hard working. The atmosphere was good and the food delicious. We had a wonderful evening and would recommend the Stonemill wholeheartedly. It’s a shame it’s so far away from Norwich, but if you are local or staying in the area you should definitely go."
