Bang In Wells in North Norfolk

Food was edible but the curry was not home made and tasted like it was from a jar. Partner had the burger and chips were under cooked. Little disappointed considering the reviews. The waitress was nice but the waiter could have worn a smile

My wife and myself went to Bang in Wells while on holiday. And what a fabulous place it is we were very impressed by how clean the place was and the tables were clean top and sides. And food that we had was top notch, a wonderful experience. My wife who needs gluten free food had no worries as when we ordered they checked and double checked that the order was as she needed. Thank you B I W we will be back.

Recommended by our b&b for breakfast but we decided to check it out the night before for tea! Hubby and I both had crab salad with house pickles......one of the best crab salads we have had. The pickles were amazing, crab was lovely, if a tad small. Staff friendly. Absolutely can recommend. We went for breakfast next morning and had superb full English...spot on again with food and staff.

Quirky and a one-off, but fast becoming a firm family favourite on our trips to Norfolk. Great choice of dishes, many unique to Bang, attractively presented and using fresh local produce, served with a smile. Perfect!

Food was delicious, especially the fish platter and the nachos. Server was really helpful and welcoming. Would definitely visit again.

This was our first stay at Bang in Wells, staying in the Tewksbury room, and we hope to return soon. The room was very spacious and tastefully decorated with a very comfortable bed. It was a very quiet room and we had a good nights sleep. A very good breakfast was served in the Bistro. The location was perfect for wandering around Wells and we would definitely recommend it to friends.

Delicious fresh mussels and salad, we had a fantastic lunch here, would highly recommend.

This is such a sweet cafe - we hadn’t visited in ages so decided to give it a go over the weekend. We had a lovely breakfast and Butterworths coffee, as well as fresh orange juice. Everything was really tasty and the staff were really friendly. Breakfast was served quickly and the prices are really reasonable for North Norfolk. Would recommend to all!

4 of us were staying in Wells over the Easter weekend 2025. Pre booked a meal and we’re not disappointed. Food, staff and ambience are fabulous, lovely evening from start to finish, would highly recommend.

Had an amazing breakfast here the service was brilliant and they were very accommodating to what I wanted for my full breakfast spot on ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lovely little bistro full of interesting things to look at. Nice art, beautiful courtyard very well kept with a super arrangement of plants & flowers. Food was very nice, well presented. We all enjoyed our lunch.

Lovely restaurant, great service, delicious food what more can you ask for. 4 adults one 3 year old. Nothing was too much trouble

Visited with family for coffee, ended up eating from the breakfast menu. Food ok and was served quickly. The staff were not friendly.no excuse really as they weren’t busy and most of them seemed to be just pottering around. Nobody asked if the food was ok, if we would like anything else etc. I had a similar experience the same last time I visited - I said before I went in they are a bit “frosty” in here, but thought I would give the place another chance. Unfortunately nothing had changed - plenty of places to have coffee in Wells where you are greeted warmly with a smile! Disappointing uncomfortable experience.

Popped in for a late lunch mid week, did not disappoint. Great food and service, friendly staff totally unhurried, well worth checking out

Brilliant little please for food and drink. Can’t fault the drinks/food, very good value for money. Dog friendly also, well earned brownie points on that front. Would return for sure

Great food, great service, on the expensive side, however on a par with other eateries in Wells. Still very enjoyable, certainly would and will visit again.

Great food, service and location.

Great place to pop in for good food, we had Smoked Haddock Cowder which was first class.

The food & service was very good. The hake my wife had was well cooked. I had the mussels. I’m a bit of a foodie & love my seafood. I can’t remember eating better mussels in the UK.

Very nice bar/restaurant in the city center of Wells on Sea. Only there for drinks but great viewsz dog friendly and very nice staff.

Independent serving great food. Did not stay in the rooms

Called in today for coffee and cake and tried the Slump cake. It was just fantastic! A must for any cake lover, tasty, moist and moreish.

Delicious breakfast! Excellent service and I will definitely be back again. Would highly recommend!

Our first visit to Bang last night, although not our first visit to Wells-next-the-Sea. A comfortably busy Saturday night, meant there was an amiable buzz to the already occupied tables, when we arrived. The three of us were given a friendly greeting & immediately seated with menus at a scrubbed wooden table Bang's menu is just the right size, enough choice without being a daunting lengthy read. Drinks are a good mix of wine, beer, sift drinks etc. We chose a glass of NZ sauvignon blanc, a glass of Rioja & an Adams Ghost Ship beer. All were promptly delivered. We started with some shared warm bread with oil & balsamic dip. Very enjoyable. Our main choices were, one of the special curries, Chicken, Hungarian goulash & fish goujons & chips. Our food was freshly prepared & delivered. Everything was generously portioned, beautifully flavoured & attractively presented. We all thoroughly enjoyed our food, as shown by our empty plates! Desserts were also enjoyed - a delicious special pear & apple crumble with custard, a flavoursome Bakewell tart with raspberries & vanilla ice-cream & some salted caramel ice cream. The bill was extremely reasonable for the quality of the food, and the whole experience was a pleasure. We left the restaurant thoroughly replete & would wholeheartedly recommend Bang in Wells. We'll definitely return when we're next in the area.

I don’t really remember this place I had a fry up the mushroom look like they come out of a tin I had to wait for my toast as they forgot . And then it come out cold you couldn’t even speeds the butter it was that hard. .save your money and go els where .

Probably best value for money in Wells right now. Attractive colourful & welcoming ambience even down to the log fire. Well behaved dogs too, which by far is not often the case. The food menu is great & the choices we made were delicious & well prepared. Overall the price value & quality is very good. We had dinner on this occasion & will certainly be back again. We frequently visit for Bangs fantastic breakfast but now will have to consider more frequent visits. A really good place to visit in Wells any time of day it seems. Bang on !!!!

We have visited Bang on a number of occasions, however had not been for breakfast for some time. We both had the full vegetarian breakfast and it was excellent, well cooked, good portion and importantly hot, something other places find hard to accomplish. Whilst this was a Monday so a bit quieter than the weekend, the service was well paced and all staff were very pleasant and proficient. Would highly recommend.

Visited for lunch on the 9th Feb. Delicious food and fabulous service. The two young gentlemen were polite, swift and very pleasent, a credit to you. Husband had Fish finger sarni. I had the beautiful Brancaster Mussels. The ambiance is super and it was busy with lots of chatter and people clearly enjoying themselves. Thank you it was grand xxx

Very lovely pancakes! I had a pancake stack with blueberries, cream, and added bacon 🥓🥓 a real treat to beat the January blues. These were good value as I got a big portion for the price. If you are big tea drinkers I would recommend being sure to ask for builders tea to bring the cost down, and to save space on the small tables (and no tea pot faff). When we came the service a bit slow 🦥 but very friendly. We were on a high barstool table which wasn't the most comfortable, but also, we were a walk-in and grateful to have been seated. Toilets are in good order (has been the case across multiple visits). There's a courtyard.

Lush coffee. And staff so helpful and nice.

Called in for drinks and a bite to eat. Few vegan items on the menu, ended up having hummus and other dips with cheesy nachos. All of us had hot drinks (soya and oat milk available). Very busy when we called in but didn't have to wait to long. You can take your dogs in. Warm and friendly, plenty of tables. Called in here a few times would happily recommend.

We had a lovely evening at Bang in Wells. There were 8 of us; 4 adults and 4 kids. Everyone had a great time and clean plates all round. Not only was the food excellent but the welcome was warm and the service really friendly throughout. Highly recommend.

3rd time I've been here and it definitely does not disappoint! Very warm and attentive staff, lovely buzzy and cosy decor and feel. Interesting menu and seafood seems to be their forte. Had the platter this time which was delicious but also a huge portion/great value for money. Could have shared it. Had the mussels last time which were awesome and fish cakes time before which also great.

Found it to be dated and tired, had breakfast which was ok ,toast was cold and baked beans served in a stainless steel pot that was too hot to handle,tea cups too small to pick up safely,tea for two over priced

One benefits of visiting Wells in the down season is the ease of getting tables at cafes and restaurants, but the quality is the same as in high season here at Bang. From a good selection of lunches and larger meals I chose the Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich on Ciabatta. It was fantastic and well worth the 12 pounds, with well cooked lean steak in a slightly peppery cheese sauce. Delicious.

Lovely breakfast and excellent service.

Wonderful brunch with friends the day after the Wells Christmastide Event. Lovely atmosphere and great service

Cool atmosphere with wonderful food and great service. Have added it to our favourites list and will definitely be coming back!

An excellent place to eat. The staff are very attentive but not overbearing. Lovely atmosphere and decorations

Nice looking place but disappointing food. Went due to high trip advisor rating, but my curry was like a cheap tesco microwave meal, only expensive.

Had some delicious pumpkin soup with toasted sourdough accompanied by maple potato skins with siracha sauce. The team were all lovely, especially the chap who took our order. Very nice decor, buzzy atmosphere. 10/10

Had the best flat white in here that I’d had all holiday. Great food and friendly staff. Would love to stay here next time

Nice restaurant, took a little while to order and to get our drinks but food was nice. My wife and I shared the fish tray and it was very nice. Lovely lightly battered calamari. The maple potato skins are delicious. My son had the burger and he said it was good but not as good as one he had in the caravan park in Hunstanton a couple of days ago. Overall a very nice experience.

Had the fish platter, which was lovely but definitely more food than one person can eat. Dog friendly, which is always a plus :)

Lovely food, staff and atmosphere. Good value for money. Very tasty and good quality produce. Would highly recommend.

A quick Google before we left home in Sheffield suggested this great little cafe/bistro for lunch at our stop-off en route to Sheringham. Arrived just after lunch ‘rush hour’ and had a wonderful meal. Haddock chowder for my husband which was sensational - crammed with fish, mega tasty with super bread. I had the DIY crab- perfect dressed crab with a super salad, bread and mayo. Fabulous lunch, couldn’t have wished for better. Attentive and helpful service. Thank you

Service was prompt and friendly. Had better chowder and fish goujons from a chain pub. Would've been happy to pay for the mains, but disappointed with quality. Expensive for what was served . Sorry to say food over rated and over priced for what we had.

Customer service was not good didn’t feel welcome but the food was nice however not long after eating I had a upset stomach to say the least safe to say I will not be returning

restaurant only: food good, price fair and the staff were the nicest naaaaritch fans we've ever had the pleasure to meet

Exciting menu choices, big portions and really tasty food

Great menu, great service, great surroundings. Definitely planning to drop in again on our next visit.

Fabulous little bistro in Wells Next the Sea. Great menu, tasty food, very friendly efficient service. Our second visit to Bang, we will definitely return again when in the area 😀 highly recommended 👌

We were planning our trip to Holkham beach and wanted to have a nice breakfast after driving for 2 and a half hours and before we went to visit the beach. A quick search on Google suggested: Bang in Wells. We did not book in advance and just turned up. The place was quite busy but there was seating for us. We were greeted by a friendly staff member who quickly had to get a table ready for us. We decided to visit the loo while she was preparing our table. The toilets were clean and smelled fresh. The decor was tasteful. We returned to our table, which was ready. Although they were clearly very busy, we were served quickly. The staff member was friendly and helpful. Our drinks and food came in good time and looked well presented. We both had full English breakfast and we were very happy with the food. I asked for extras to be added to my breakfast, and it was precisely as I asked for. (You won't believe how many other places get this one thing wrong) The decor is nice and welcoming with plenty of quirky pictures and pieces to keep your eyes occupied while waiting for your food. I would definitely recommend you visit Bang in Wells for great drinks and food. The beach was only a 5 min drive down the road. We will definitely be visiting again.

Just had a lovely family meal here, the food was delicious and the service was excellent!

Excellent cafe/restaurant. Staff were so nice. Food was excellent, we arrived a little late for breakfast but lunch time kicked in and had gorgeous fish finger sarnies, nice coffee in a lovely setting. Dog friendly. Highly recommend.

Didn't stay in the hotel, but had a quick bite to eat there, the food was really nice and the staff are really friendly and dogs are more then welcome inside or outside.

Beautiful comfy dog friendly rooms. Great comfort food menu. Thoroughly recommended.

Came here as a group of 4 , i personally think £96 for 4 mains , 5 soft drinks and a couple of sides is a bit expensive . My burger with cheese and chips was £20 , the chips were good , the burger was nothing special , to be honest it was no different to what I would do at home !! , the wife enjoyed her fish finger sandwich and my friend enjoyed her d.I.y crab sandwich . The service was good and the restaurant and toilets were lovely and clean 👍

Very pleasant atmosphere and lovely food

Popular restaurant located towards the top end of the village. Let's start with the Paella which unfortunately wasn't great. Outside you see big signs advertising the paella and on the menu it extolls that the "paella is back" so you expect great things, but sadly it was runny and really bland; the chorizo was tasteless and the colour resembled more risotto than the taste of Spain. That aside the staff were super friendly, my wife loved her Caesar salad and our friend's steak was well received although it could have benefitted from a rest before serving. Great selection of local ales and ciders, some pretty punch on the ABV scale. I would come back but I wouldn't have the paella...sorry Bang!

We had breakfast here, it was demand the staff were very friendly, a lovely calm atmosphere, with a pretty court yard outside, which is perfect in good weather.

Great service and tasty food, a couple of other places in Wells should take a leaf out of their book.

I haven't been in yet but stayed in a flat nearby when on my hols, it always seemed popular and had a nice buzz it open for breakfast,lunch and evening meals

We went just for food and it was fantastic. Nice surroundings, atmosphere was relaxed, food was lovely, obviously prepared fresh. I would defo recommend this from a restaurant POV.

Great restaurant & accommodation, ideal location, would definitely recommend, no parking so can definitely be a issue.

Great food - can recommend the bang bang chicken and the burger! Lovely and friendly service. Would return if we were in the area again!

Every time we stay in Wells-next-the-Sea we visit Bang for breakfast and are never disappointed! Very easy to swap/remove items from your Full English and they do child's portions of the menu too. My girls love the pancakes! Booking essential as it fills quickly!

This restaurant is well worth the walk up from the high street, our first visit was a couple of years ago where they squeezed a large group of us in one very busy weekend and everyone enjoyed brilliantly cooked fish and chicken burgers. A smaller group of us went back for the delicious fish platter washed down with an excellent Petite Chablis. Service is friendly and they were still accommodating walk ins with dogs and prams in tow!

Had lunch with wife here. Great food with a modern twist. Utterly delicious. Try it!!

Popped in for an early supper with the children. The children had Mac&Cheese I had the Paella and my wife a seafood platter. The term Mac and Cheese doesn't really do their interpretation justice, it was a world apart from the packet sauce dripping nonsense served by many restaurants - it was a master class in how it should be done. Likewise the Paella, this was made with real thought. For a 'full house' of general niceness the seafood platter was generous and the accompanying salad interesting.

Went for breakfast and can't fault the experience. Staff were professional and attentative. Food was tasty, well presented and delivered in good time. Great value for money and a pleasurable experience. We booked in advance, which was a good call. It was busy by 9am. Keep up the good work.

Well cooked food, great service. Portions a bit on the small size for the price they charge

We visited twice for breakfast during our stay in Wells. It has a great atmosphere and friendly staff. They were more than willing to accommodate requests for our 5 year old, which was great. Only negatives were that the poached eggs were overdone and the smashed avocado on toast tasted a lot like guacamole from a pot. On the other hand, my husband's pancakes were absolutely delicious so I feel like this is their strength. Overall, we enjoyed our time there but top tip is have the pancakes!

Food was actually quite nice, but service seemed awfully slow and not at all joined up, I wondered if the ownership had changed?

Delicious with gluten free options. Friendly staff and dog friendly! Great location with parking nearby which is free for 2 hours.

Great gluten free options! Super friendly staff and lovely food! Recommended!

Crab sour dough sandwich, pickles and local cider. Bliss

Booked for breakfast. We booked for 2 and a baby, ended up on a table for 2 in a corner with a highchair. Bit of a squeeze. Good atmosphere and everyone very friendly staff wise. Service very slow. Took just under an hour to get the food and not much before that for the drinks. Food was good, not amazing. Fatty bacon and what I would class as lazy scrambled eggs. Wifi did not work at all. Good loo's though and a baby change. 4 for friendliness, 3 for food and service speed.

Nice place with nice friendly staff, freshly prepared food lovely crab salad and very nice burger

We had a great stay in the beautiful and very large "Feathers" room. Everything about the room was perfect! Gorgeous plank floors, two fireplaces, comfortable bed, lovely sitting area and large, beautiful bathroom. The breakfast was amazing as well. We also ate lunch in the restaurant and it was delicious and creative. We'll be back!

Very cosy courtyard area, fairy lights, greenery, lovely vibe

A very warm welcome was experienced from staff and the eating environment was very pleasant. The food was prepared fresh and well presented. Even the dog enjoyed the visit. Have returned for many years when I am in the area. 😃🥞☕️❤

Excellent food and service. Dog friendly and good range of gluten free options too. Would highly recommend.

Excellent food (can recommend the paella). Staff friendly and helpful.

Had lunch here with family. Menu was a good mix of fish and interesting dishes. Nice seating area in small courtyard at rear. Good service

Had a great lunch, the mackerel was lovely. Great friendly service with a smile. I can't comment on the rooms, we didn't stay. Would have been a 5 star review but for the slight disappointment in that they don't have any alcohol free beers - a lot of people, like myself, visit Wells for the day and have to drive! However, that said, I will be visiting again.

We were staying in an apartment on staithe st, and the day we were leaving , we decided to have breakfast at the bang restaurant, booked a table for 2 on line night before, and pleased we did as it was quite busy, even at that time of morning( 9 am) and I know why, food was amazing, I am a coeliac and that wasnt a problem to them at all,, excellent portion sizes, and the builders mugs of tea are a must, staff are extremely friendly and very helpful and efficient, Thankyou to all at the bang, will definitely be eating there again at different meal times, next time we visit wells x

What a loverly little place. Super helpful and polite team. Great choose on the menu and great service.

Excellent breakfast and service, Will definitely be back for dinner soon

Nice food but too expensive for what it is

Lovely clean bistro, no smell and no sticky tables or floor like some other nearby eating places 🙈 Spotless and delicious club sandwich with triple cooked chips and gorgeous desserts if you can manage one as the portions are generous

Good service very friendly and good value for money food

Best coffee ever,great staff very friendly

Amazing DIY crab sandwich!! Great staff. Thoroughly recommend a visit when in Wells!

Good food, great service and wonderful location. The only downside is that the bar doesn’t have any beer on tap, just served from bottles. Plenty of small tables in nooks and side rooms plus is very dog friendly. Book a table in the high season to avoid disappointment. Walk in at all other times.

First time ever we had a Fish Finger Sandwich. Brilliant 👏

Can't speak highly enough of the food we had, BEST steak I've ever had, helped massively by the garlic butter. Service was very friendly and polite. Definitely worth the Price will be going back again.

Think my photos speak for themselves

We really enjoyed our seafood lunch here. It was very busy but the staff found us a table for us and our pram. Thanks very much!

Popped in for breakfast only. Very good selection on the menu. Full English tasty.
