Marina Bay Cafe in Great Yarmouth

Me and my bf were here with his aunt and uncle yesterday before we headed home and we had a decent good lunch being a hotdog meal and it was delicious The staff were amazing and deserve a great pat on the back Completely recommend if your in the area Solid 5/5 🙂

The food was awful, if I could give 0 stars I would.

Nipped in for a couple of English breakfasts, very basic but tasty food and friendly staff.

Amazing place and food great staff nice a friendly

Last-minute decision to take a ride out to Lowestoft on a Sunday morning to see some holiday homes for sale, after our costly trip we decided to stop by this lovely establishment for some Cod & Chips and the lovely sea view with clean sand.

Amazing place and food great staff nice a friendly

Busy bank holiday Sunday, but the staff were friendly, polite and helpful. They were well controlled, and the fish and chips were fantastic. Will definitely revisit.

We only had a takeaway of fish & chips so cannot comment on the restaurant but can say all the food we had was cooked fresh and was absolutely fantastic, helpful friendly staff (even under the immense pressure from weight of customers & the heat!). great portions cooked to perfection & under the circumstances, very quick service too. We enjoyed ours sitting on the beach & I highly recommend to anyone, this is a place to visit.

My self and my family approx 10 people purchased some chips, The staff was currently rude and the service was appalling I will not recommend.

Lovely fish and chips, excellent customer service.

Staff very efficient, nice fishcake and chips.

Staff very blunt and rude, chips were not cooked and everything extremely greasy. Not worth the expensive price tag.

Great little cafe right on the sea front. Pop in for a friendly cuppa and more.

My favorite breakfast place in gorleston. Sausages taste like butchers and not bad value for money

Came for breakfast on a sunny Saturday morning. There is parking out front but it gets very busy. The staff is very efficient so even though it was packed, we got our breakfast quickly. Bacon and sausage is excellent, really tasty. Beans, toast, hashbrowns all good. They don't do chips at breakfast. My wife said her bacon and egg roll was among the best she has ever had. Service was very friendly and fast.

Not the best of quality food used. Fish had no taste, chips ok. Tomato sauce watered down. Burger? That’s all you get no relish or salad in the bun. Basic food at quite high price for quality. Staff need to smile a little.

Call here occasionally for breakfast Stunning location right near the beautiful beach..if you get decent weather there are tables outdoors... The staff have always been very friendly and helpful, it is spotlessly clean throughout The breakfast is freshly cooked and always very tasty

Having visited this premise in Goulston many times during our childhood family holidays, my parents, husband and I decided to take a trip down memory lane before ending our long weekend in Yarmouth. From the moment we walked in, the friendly staff made us feel welcome. My husband can be quite particular about his fry-ups, but both he and my dad were thoroughly impressed with their English breakfast. Each component was cooked to perfection. A great selection, even better pricing. My mum and I opted for bacon rolls, which were equally as good but we were left envious of not having picked the full breakfast, especially the fried bread! Overall, our visit to Marina Bay Café was a wonderful trip down memory lane with the added bonus of exceptional food. If you’re in the Yarmouth area we highly recommend stopping by this gem for a fantastic English breakfast.

Lovely place to eat. Rather pricey but food reasonable. Can sit inside or out. Lovely views too

Been here 3 times this week for lunch has been fantastic. Brilliant cafe, staff are brilliant and the seating area outside is lovely.

Everything you want from a seaside fish n chippie!

Lovely fish and chips eat inside or outside great service lovely and clean toilets inside for customers

Excellent breakfast.The only thing that let it down was sauce bottles not clean Staff need to pay more attention.

Absolutely waste of money… customer service is absolute rubbish, I asked for food to be put in closed box as I was with my little one and said I don’t mind to pay for the box. The answer was a shocker- boxes for fish only… you can buy them, even her’s colleague next to her was in disbelief…. Quality of food is absolutely terrible, waste of money and time as well. Fell sick in the evening as well…

Worst English breakfast I've ever had. Coffee was good, that's why it's 2 stars, not 1.

Avoid at all cost!!! The worst fish and chips we have ever had. Tasteless, very dry chips which were heated up for at least second time. 2/3 of fish was very greasy batter which smelled of old oil. We chose cod but it was nothing like it. It was very flat and small piece of something very watery, probably quickly defrosted (being at the seaside, we were expecting fresh fish), not mention the horrible taste. We returned it as it was not edible but no one got interested why it happened. No one came to us to ask what was wrong so when we were leaving, we complained about it again but cook got crazy. He didn’t apologise at all. instead he started screaming that everything was fresh. He also didn’t let us finish any sentence, interrupting all the time with his raised voice: “Listen to me! Listen to me!” He brought the full bucket of fries in water and showed us what he was using. Mind you, it was 3.30 and they close at 4. There were no clients after us so I wonder who will be eating these soaked fries tomorrow!!! Horrible experience! We left not only hungry but angry as well!!! Refund was not even mentioned…

Nice cafe right on the seafront. Really nice atmosphere and very friendly staff. You can 'build' your own breakfast which is great! No vegetarian options but was still able to find something to eat.

An excellent BIG breakfast, sausages were to die for. Went xtra big and had beans AND tomatoes. Always a good meal.

Absolutely superb cafe run by very organised but very friendly staff. My wife and I had fish and chips and tea and coffee. The coffee was a good quality Italian Lavazza coffee. The tea was nice and the fish and chips was absolutely excellent. They also serve other no nonsense food like Jacket potatoes and fried breakfasts too. Lovely unpretentious cafe serving delicious food run by very helpful staff. A safe option for a decent meal at an affordable price. Recommended.

Nice food, friendly staff and good service

Good value. Always seems to be open every time we visit Gorleston. Lovely ice cream. It's always part of every trip.

An amazing oasis of food, laughter and community. Should be up there for a Michelin award....thanks for being there George, Cody, spurs, Debbie and Blondie

Just a nice walk out. Then chips. And ice cream

Lovely service, friendly staff and good food but absolutely awful ketchup. Covered my food in it to realise it was watered down cheap stuff that tasted awful. Ruined the whole meal. A good condiment can make or break a meal....this one was ruined by that nasty red liquid posing as ketchup.

Staff in takeaway side , very monotone and blunt , chips were rock hard not cooked well , shame

While on holiday in the area we came across this cafe.Decent ,honest food.No frills but a hearty breakfast,good service.

Great bacon rolls and cappuccino consumed here this morning, sitting outside in the sunshine. Great, fast service and helpful, friendly staff. We will definitely be back.

Very nice clean and tidy service excellent quality of food very good 👍

This is a clean and friendly place, was able to take the dog inside with us. We both had haddock and chips which on the surface looked very good, however the batter although crunchy on the outside was thick and doughy on the inside, the fish did not taste terribly fresh either, shame. I think it's because it's fried from frozen and creates a lot of steam inside. Shame.

Great food Great service Great prices

Pretty much what you would expect from somewhere like this. You can get most breakfast foods in any combination. The opening hours are very good. Staff are hard working and friendly. I would recommend it.

They do a good mug of proper coffee and that’s good enough for use. Very much a parkrunner favourite cafe and eatery..

Beautiful scenery, delicious meal, great customer service. I visited with my friend, and it was a warm reception from arrival, we made our orders, and we were served afterwards. I was going to order the all day breakfast but I wanted the harsh brown added to the meal, seeing that it was cost effective to have the big boys breakfast, where I would have everything included in the meal, I opted to give it a try, I enjoyed the meal, it was tasty, though I was so full at the end 🤣 as I took time to stand up 🤣 after eating. Nevertheless, I took a long walk down the beach and took loads of beautiful pictures 📸 while strolling, and the end it was a nice experience, and I would sure do it again 😀.

We popped in here due to the heavy rain today with my two dogs and family. We were informed the cafe was dog friendly so could sit outside or inside. You have to order at the counter, but food is served to you. We asked for the table to be cleaned, which staff did straightaway. I had jacket potatoes, cheese, and beans with a side salad for £6. My brother had fish n chips we he enjoyed. My mother had a bacon butty. The food was delicious. Reasonable pricing for the food and drinks. Only one toilet. Wheelchair friendly outside and a few tables inside near the entrance. They have a takeaway section to. Staff were friendly and approachable.

Excellent fish and chips best around !!!! The breakfast it’s just unbelievably tasty !! Very clean and tidy, very friendly staff all with a smile 😃

We have been to this cafe many times and have always found it great, but this visit I have to say the staff member who served me was not at all friendly and didn't smile once, as a person of a certain age she could see I struggled with the Google pay and I tried to make a joke of it but she just looked at me said nothing and made me feel very uncomfortable, not so sure I shall go back there now it's put me off.

Just had a wonderful Bacon&sausage in a roll both bacon and sausage tasted lovely washed down with a mug of milky coffee. With add views over the sea.

Delicious sausage and bacon bdp and coffee Sat outside overlooking the sea Prompt service with a smile Definitely recommend

Absolutely best Cod and Chips i've ever had. Fresh, flakey and cooked to order 11/10

Went to gorlestone beach for a walk and stopped at the cafe for a breakfast was very busy with limited seating but we got a outside table (dogs) ordered 2 breakfasts they came promptly (quite a few staff working) to say it was busy very nice food and plenty of it! Friendly helpful staff with the quality of the food it’s decent grub at a decent price happily visit again if I’m this way on

Fish and chips excellent highly recommended

Worst fish and chips ever! Absolutely gross I would call it!!! Fish tasted old, batter was doughy & stodgy! Chips were under cooked and hard Total waste of money went straight in the bin!

Very tasty fish and chip. Had 2 cod and chips and then a children’s fish fingers and chips. With a tea and a bottle of water. It came to £32, so not the cheapest lunch in the world. However the fish was well cooked with crispy batter. The chips were perfectly cooked and tasty and it was a good sized plate of food.

Where to start Positive - busy day and we had quick service. Food was hot. Negative - Ketchup rank which spoiled everything else. Also the chips looked white and fish didn't taste right. It wasn't the cheapest but there isn't any competition so what do you expect. Missed part of the order but didn't realise until getting back to our beach spot. Definitely not going again... next time meal deal before we get to the beach I think.

Popped in for a look with a friend who hadn't visited before.he fouñd the experience very good.we purchased our favourite brew but it was nearly closing and we left it to late for a proper visit.recommended👍

Beautiful fish and chips.. Best we've eaten in a long long time.. Crispy batter and lovely dry chips.. staff are amazing couldn't fault the place at all..

The food. was good, but the service was a little slow. It's OK to sit in, but nothing special.

We sat outside as we had 2dogs, we sat at the far end, we now know why this table was vacant, the smell and the dripping water was making a puddle, before we worked out what was going on, one of our dogs lead down she was covered in the stuff, we had just arrived and still had another 2hours before we could get into our chalet to wash her down, we ended up using the dog drinking water, 5 sets of people move away from this area and went to another restaurant while we sat somewhere else, and it put us off our food

Called in here for take away fish and chips. Really great tasting food and good service. Reasonable price too

Great place for breakfast just been food red hot and plentiful and quick service coffee was red hot lavasssa brand hot chocolate the best My wife has had and dog freindly

Just had a Great breakfast here quick service food red hot the best hot chocolate according to the wife and dog friendly

Excellent English breakfast, everything cooked as it should be, good portion size, sausages and bacon spot on and good value for money.

The cafe is in a great location and is exactly what you want from a beachside cafe. The food choice is classic cafe, with jacket potatoes, BLT, all-day breakfast, etc, and is presented nicely. There is indoor and outdoor seating and a toilet for customers inside. Inside is quite tight, with not much room for pushchairs and wheelchairs, but appears to be dog friendly, which is a bonus (assuming you like dogs). The main downside for me was the noise level. The combination of the music, conversation, and kitchen noise made it sound really loud, which I found a bit much. However, don't let that detract from the fact that it is a great little cafe in a good location, with free parking nearby.

We both had a roll which had bacon and egg in it, but the roll was a so doughy it stuck to the roof of my mouth.

Not very good at all. How has this chip shop gone so down hill in the last year. New owners?? Mucky!

Possibly the worst fish and chips I have ever had. Thick soggy batter, tiny fish, filthy store, even the white salt shaker was thick with black muck, and scampi that looked like it was from a bush tucker trail. This time last year to the day they were lovely, now disgusting and all fed to the seagulls.

Went with a small group, friendly staff brought food and drink to the table. Good value for moey

Lovely breakfast the sausages were meaty the egg was perfectly cooked a choice of tomatoes or beans plus toast or fried bread

We ordered Fish and chips yesterday. Service was awful and fish went into the bin. Avoid.

Food not great and the customer service was terrible. The menu didn't specify what pies they did. I asked if they haf anything vegetarian to be told 'yeah, chips'. Simple question I thought!

Two of us had fish and chips, one a baked potato, all excellent. Staff very obliging and friendly on a day when it was hot and they were really busy.

So lovely to see an old face behind the chip shop! The difference in the food is very noticeable and has improved 10 fold. The chips and the batter are like it was years ago. Very happy with my cod and chips today.

Very poor quality Haddock, batter was all doughy and not properly cooked, fish wasn’t properly cooked and tasted very old, also it had bones. Total waste of money as I didn’t eat it, chips was ok.

Ordered chips & cheese. Chips were greasy and anemic, no colour or taste and some were even still hard 😳

Great traditional cafe by the beach with plenty of indoor and outdoor scene does get extremely busy so would recommend getting there early as parking can sometimes be slightly difficult but the food staff were great is one of my local places to go to for a weekend day trip out even if just passing by 👍 to eat in all take away. Also they have a fish and chip shop which is really good quality as well forgot to mention. With a hidden little attraction around the corner a bit of banksy artwork which is above a bench great to get a little selfie as it's a claw machine ☺️

Yuk! City centre priced cheap garbage food. Chips were vile. Can’t believe so many people say the food is great …. They must never have been out of Gorleston 😂

Cheap and cheerful, staff are helpful and seating outside is nice

Excellent Breakfast. Extremely busy. More families and pensioner's.

Cant rate this place highly enough and a star rating of 5 isn't enough probably one of the best cafes I have visited , 100% recommend visiting when anyone is in Gorleston-on-Sea , was very busy when visited and was told would be waiting a while but 5 all day breakfasts and 1 jacket potato arrived piping hot in less than 10 minutes

We only had a drink service good

The cafe is in a lovely spot but I was very dissatisfied with my breakfast and my partners the meals came to our table I took one bite of the tomatoes they where stone cold I complained they took them away and came back they where just as bad I just had the good bits and left very dissatisfied

expensive for burnt food and takes absolutely ages also got beans instead of curry sauce

On a rainy day, the only place allowing dogs in. We don't really want to sit outside in the rain. Thank you Marina Bay.

Everything cooked to order and so wait time depends on how simple or complex your order is . Fish & Chips not cheap but quality is good .

Very slow service, and under staffed

Went for a stroll along Marine Parade and ended up here. Chatting to a local who drives 5 miles past 3 other chippies so I thought I'd give the takeaway side a try. It was really busy despite it being 12 on a Monday, but it's worth the wait as everything is cooked fresh to order. The fish was fresh, well cooked with delicious batter and the chips were perfect. The staff are really busy but very polite and welcoming. Will definitely visit again.

It was the worse fish and chips I have ever had. The chips seemed dry and seemed like they had been hotted up. The fish was just batter and a small piece of fish, when I started on it the fish was not white but a horrible yellow colour YUK!! I went to complain, but the shutters were down, I went next day and explained how awful it was, and the manager could not have cared one bit..all he said was Sorry!! Well for £21, I think he could have said I will reimburse 1/2 for you, but he probably thinks most people are there for the day, so it does not matter...The only good think was the Seagulls enjoyed it. But I would advise people to go to Gorleston Town "My Plaice or Yours" it is so much cleaner and service is good, and the fishn n chips is lovely, fresh and hot. We did not go the day we bought at the seafront as it was shut...but will never go back to Marina Bay.

Oh you have to go here, not only a great area to visit, but the food here is so good. We ordered a big boy breakfast including mushrooms and hash Brown's, black pudding extra but so essential. None of us could finish, and others who came in looked at ours and just had to have the same. It's clean, food is very tasty.

Enjoyed a lovely bacon roll to take away with a very nice Italian Lavazza coffee, also we have had fish and chips inside and thoroughly enjoyed it, highly recommended, there are toilets inside for customers only.

The coffee was definitely not the cappuccino I ordered. I did have a nice toasted teacake.

Well , want cod & chips and sausage in batter & chip, cod & chips came in a nice cardboard box , no problem but sausage chip and Gerking all wrap up individual , ask them why not put them all in one box like the fish & chips?? No !! Only for fish & chips! Great fun trying to eat & unwrapped all the sausage chip & gerking on the seafront!!! What a waste of packaging!! Fish & chips were nice , but sausages was a bit soggy!

Excellent service. Exclusive food!. Mind the brazen starlings that try and share your food ! 😆😆

Fantastic quality, lovely view of the beach

We always order takeaway battered sausages and chips from Marina Bay whenever we are at the seaside. Their battered fish is also excellent. It’s worth the wait because they’re making it fresh! They’ll wrap it for you if you want to walk along the seaside or you can sit and eat there. Honestly if you want more sauces or extra vinegar, etc just ask. They are all super friendly and will aim to please!

We stopped by for a quick bite to eat with our 2 dogs after a lovely walk along Gorleston Beach. We both had a sausage bap with a cup of tea, and the dogs had a sausage each. Portion size was plentiful, arrived quickly and tasted good. The dogs sausages came ready chopped up for them. Great little place, reflected by how busy it was, we will return.

A lovely little beach cafe selling the usual all day breakfast or breakfast related dishes and sandwiches. Order and pay at the counter. You will be given a number which is shouted when food is ready, acknowledge that the number is yours and food is brought to your table. We had a very tasty sausage sandwich and a mug of tea each for under £10 which I thought was excellent value. Parking is available outside. Dogs are allowed inside and there are a few tables outside too.

I went with my mum and had fish and chips and it was lovely. Great atmosphere and friendly and helpful staff.

Fantastic full English breakfast Lovely sausages and fried bread 👍

Very popular cafe with a beach view location. Really good value for price and the quality of food was superb. Accepting cards, parking nearby, dog friendly, eat in or takeaway, this really is a great place to visit and support. Seating inside and outside available Reccomended very much
