We hadn't been to a Tapas bar for years and decided to give Charlie's a visit. Do not be deceived by the outside, inside the restaurant is lovely and the dƩcor what you would expect in a Tapas bar. We phoned at about 5pm to book a table for 7pm but this could not be accommodated until 7.30 which was fine and as Sharon - the owner, said to us that they do not want to rush people with their food and do not want to overcrowd the restaurant so everyone in a group gets served together. The food looked amazing a good selection of dishes, there is only one chef (Sharon's partner) in the kitchen so they ensure orders can be dealt with efficiently as in our case we ordered six dishes and wanted them together. Whilst we were waiting we were served complimentary bread and dipping oil whilst we had a drink. When the food arrived it was beautiful , really hot and flavoursome and plenty for two of us and pricewise extremely reasonable. Sharon and the waitress ( I think her name was Emma) were really lovely and took time to explain dishes if we were unsure. I highly recommend Charlie's and will definitely return next time we are in Gt Yarmouth, although I do advise booking.

So we were staying local and I knew this place was here but being on the Main Street you presume itā€™s going to be tourist tucker, (well,it is kinda ). Having tried the Shed in gorleston of which I found terrible in my view , I love tapas and to eat here was the highlight of the weekend , the staff were friendly , food came quickly , im sure some wonā€™t find it so,great , I donā€™t give 5 stars very often , so itā€™s purely measurable on value for money , quality, atmosphere and staff , Hope to see you all again with my friends

What a great place to have dinner.On arrival you are made to feel welcome and not hurried in any way.They do a set meal where you chose 3 dishes which you have with your bread and dip then chose another 2 and if you really like one of them you can choose to have another plate of that or like us chose to swop for a dessert as we were full up. Everyone of our choices were first class from garlicky prawns to pork belly in a bbq sauce peppers with cheese or simply fresh fried calamari were first class.They also do very reasonably cocktails but we opted for a couple of bottles of dry white wine which were excellent.Well worth a visit.

Delicious tapas and excellent value for money. Charlie's doesn't look much from the outside, and you could easily walk past and not notice it. We saw it as one of the top rated in Yarmouth, so booked a table and, having now eaten there, it is clear that is well-deserved We selected six dishes for Ā£25 and ordered an extra dish on top, which was plenty for two of us. The chilli and garlic prawns and the potato and chorizo gratin were probably our favourites, but everything else was incredibly tasty too. Even though we'd had plenty between us, we couldn't resist the churros biscoff so the mini portion is a good option on the menu for those that want to finish with something sweet. The team that work there were great, asking if it was our first visit there, then explaining the menu. Nothing was too much trouble, and the service was quick without feeling as though we were being rushed. Overall, I would highly recommend

The staff are very attentive but not intrusive and the lady in charge took time to have a word with all of the diners and made them feel very welcome. On learning that one of our party was gluten intolerant they provided a gluten-free ciabatta so that she could enjoy the aioli dip.Highly recommended.

What can I say other than absolutely perfect. I found Charlieā€™s while pre holiday stalking tripadvisor. And thought it was definitely worth a try . Pre booked well in advance . Looked forward to it for weeks and definitely lived up to its reputation. Staff are lovely. The 3.2.1 all you can eat is genius. No food waste . Plenty to choose from and all very tasty . Sangria is a must . And cocktails really good value . And good selection of mocktails . By far the highlight of our week in Yarmouth . If it wasnā€™t 200 miles away I would be a regular.

The food was all excellent and plentiful ( we had to leave out the final dish of the 3,2,1 ! ) Tables were well spaced with gaps left. We saw tables, chairs and menus being thoroughly cleaned after guests left. If we return to Great Yarmouth we will certainly eat here again. Glad we had booked as they were full the night we visited.

We have had a lovely evening here. Charlies was recommended to us by our hotel. We did pre book as we knew it was popular. The staff couldn't do enough for us! The food was delicious and clearly cooked to order. Would definitely come back if we were here again.

I have never experienced anything as rude. Decided to give the resturant a try but after arriving at the door, was left for over 5-6 minutes with the staff just standing around and starring into space. Tried to get someoneā€™s attention but was completely ignored. Shocking service.

Has many good reviews and so we thought weā€™d give it a try. Needed to book as popular but then conflicts with website which stated it was closedā€¦ it wasnā€™t. Went for a 3,2,1 option for Ā£18 per person. First roundā€™s dishes were good (except for prawns which were so over cooked). Potatoes and pork dishes were very nice indeed. Plenty to choose from on the menu (including for vegetarian daughter) and the service was very good. Interior felt a little more like a seaside cafe than a restaurant but I suppose that is what it is. Worth giving it a go if you like tapas.

On Thursday evening 5 of us went for dinner at Charlie's and I have to say we had a beautiful dinner with excellent service . There's was loads of food and it was enjoyed by everyone ! I HIGHLY recommend Charlie's if you fancy something different to fish and chips in Great Yarmouth. We will definitely be visiting again when we are that way . Thankyou for a lovely meal .Carly

Lovely selection of food. As a hungry family of 4 we went for the 3-2-1 option and weā€™re thoroughly stuffed by the end. Every mouthful of every dish was great. The staff were extremely attentive and did not rush us at all which was a godsend. Our second visit and will definitely be returning.

Went in on a misty damp Tuesday lunch time. Though a little chilly inside, a lovely cafe with such pleasant lady in charge. Our sandwiches were fresh, great bacon and super sausages topped off with a
