Mark Poynton at Caistor Hall

Modern Cuisine · ★ Michelin

£££

The Caistor Hall Hotel is a Georgian country house with a contemporary flourish inside, and a manicured lawn and terrace for those seeking fresh air. Experienced restaurateur Mark Poynton runs the hotel’s flagship restaurant, offering a balanced seasonal set menu in a choice of lengths. The terse menu descriptions belie the complexity of the cooking, evidenced by technically adept elements such as a perfectly seasoned red wine jus with rare aged beef. If there’s a chocolate dessert on the menu, then you’re in for a treat.

Benedicts

Modern Cuisine

£££

Situated in a bohemian part of the city, the modern bistro vibe perfectly suits this simply decorated restaurant that carries its unfussy ethos through into the cooking. Chef-Owner Richard Bainbridge is proud of his Norfolk roots and an ambassador for the region’s larder, and his understated dishes rely on top quality ingredients to lead the way. They serve a range of menus, varying in length and with vegetarian and, on request, vegan options available. For those looking for a lighter bite, sit outside and order small plates from the Alfresco menu.

Bar Cerdita

Spanish

££

The sister to Italian restaurant Benoli nearby, this compact, rustic-looking spot instead turns its attentions to Spain, with a roster of tapas staples plus daily blackboard specials. Sharing is of course the way to go here, and the well-known dishes pack in all the satisfying flavours you’d expect, from the pan con tomate to a number of pork options and a great tarta de Santiago with olive oil ice cream to finish. It’s all perfect paired with a glass from the concise Spanish wine list or the cocktail of the day.

The Wildebeest

European · Bib

££

Set in the heart of a pretty village and fronted by an attractive terrace, this former pub is now a laid-back restaurant offering satisfying modern cooking at a wallet-friendly price. The menus range from a particularly great value daily selection to an ambitious à la carte and an inventive tasting menu, all exhibiting the kitchen's skilled control of flavour and balance. Dishes like chicken liver parfait and dulche de leche cheesecake might sound straightforward, but they're executed with such aplomb. The friendly service team are eager to please.

9.8km

Stoke Mill Restaurant

Traditional Cuisine

£££

A 700-year-old mill makes a terrific setting for this characterful restaurant spanning the River Tas. You can feel a palpable sense of history not only in the mill itself, but in the knowledge that the adjoining building is where the Colman family started making their famous mustard back in 1814. The cooking, for its part, consists of technically adept versions of straightforward, classically based dishes where the ingredients are strong and the flavours are distinct.
