“A real gem in an unexpected location”, is typical of readers’ enthusiasm for this “absolutely perfect” little restaurant – a boon to the neighbourhood with its “lovely friendly staff” and “top-notch food”. The deceptively spacious interior is an attractive blend of old and new, cosy in the evening but light-filled during the day – there’s also a private walled garden for warm weather repasts. The Anglo-Mediterranean menu is a pleasing blend of old and new too, moving from panko-crusted Cromer crab cakes with pea shoot salad and broad beans to “mouth-watering” crème brûlée or maple and pecan semifreddo via Ligurian-style calf’s liver, fresh fish ‘of the moment’ or herb-grilled new season’s lamb with Parmesan-whipped potatoes, petits pois and red wine jus. Personable service is “second to none”, the wine list has plenty of decently priced selections and you can always expect the warmest of welcomes – no wonder The Mulberry is also rated as a local go-to for special occasions.
