Rocky Bottoms in North Norfolk - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Exceptional !!! We love this place and cannot recommend it enough. Lovely friendly staff. Food as always was perfect, we had mackerel pate, garlic mushrooms, garlic crevettes, fish & chips , grilled haddock & chicken burger , cooked to perfection, the side salad are beautiful and full of flavour & quantity. Extremely lucky to be able to sit alfresco looking over the sea on a mid September day. Just wish we lived closer as this would be our local. Can also recommmend the Crab Hut for superb crabs & crevettes to take home. Looking forward to coming back next Spring unless we can sneak a cheeky weekend away in before then.

My cousin who lives in France and married to a French man wanted him to taste true fresh Norfolk seafood. Not generally sea food eaters ourselves we had to rely on reviews and this place did not disappoint! Our party ate a full seafood platter, the special garlic lobster platter and haddock curry and we cleared the lot!! Then we had the most yummy desserts too. Lemon posset , Rocky mess and creme brulee. We loved the place the multiple rooms give it a unique quirkiness. Dog friendly without being outside. Friendly staff and not all teenagers. Loved nothing between it and the sea. We'll definitely be back as will our French family one day!!

Everything lived up to our expectations at this excellent restaurant. My wife enjoyed her lobster Thermidor as I did my lobster pappardelle. Service was prompt and friendly. This whole enterprise, coupled with the family’s own fishing boat, is to be applauded. We would definitely come again.

Food seemed very average. Haddock was pretty tasteless, get much better in the local chip shop and wife's crab was pretty average, didn't strike us as being fresh locally caught. Write ups are brilliant, so maybe we hit it on a bad night...

Having looked at local reviews and then read their statement on their own menu we were looking forward to a special meal and a promising ambience. We were sorely disappointed. My crab salad - salad was good, potatoes average but the crab brown meat was watery. My husband's haddock and chips was positively third rate, that's if it was even Haddock!??? As we only live a short while away. We won't go back in a hurry and won't recommend. The service was poor. Long faces not the smiles and brightness promised. Hair dangling in the food, not tied up. Basic hygiene. And requests for iced water not carried out and the next table took them three requests to get their table water. We were also stuck in a non window room. Being the main corridors between serving areas. If I wanted British rail food on a British rail station. I'd go there.

We visited for a birthday lunch. The staff were welcoming and friendly. The food was delicious. We had Calamari, Crab, a seafood Tart, all was lovely.

We have been several times to rocky bottoms and have never had a bad meal. Seafood was delicious and our dog was happy in the bar area. Lots of cravettes in our portion and handmade chips were delicious. The garlic sauce on both lobster and cravettes was delicious. The only thing we noticed was that the half lobster was priced at £27 on the menu and the bill had it down as £30 (this we only noticed once home). Service was good but 13% service charge does seem a bit steep when the prices are already high. We also felt slightly rushed with the experience as we were in and out in an hour and at £200 for a dinner for 4 we would have liked a longer meal.

A beautiful spot to have the most wonderful lunch. I had natural oysters followed by Crab salad and hubby had Mushrooms on toast then surf ‘n’ turf with lobster, ALL DELICIOUS. A lovely bottle of wine mad the long walk back to Cromer hard work but it was well worth it! Great service from our waitress Kate!

Great dining location. Very warm and personable welcome, great service by all of the waitstaff. The avocado crab dish was extremely tasty, the crab was very fresh and sweet tasing. We both had the grilled haddock for mains again excellent. Highly recommend

This venue is dining out on it's reputation for good seafood. It is expensive but the food is not impressive. It is distinctly average with a high price tag - when compared to other venues in the area. They put a service charge on the bill of 13% and then ask you in front of everyone at the till if you are happy with that. They will then take it off, but you should be at liberty to give your own tip or reject a tip in with the privacy of the card machine. Felt rather backmailed into paying a tip at this level. Meal - whilst fresh was pretty tasteless. Not great.

We called in at Rocky Bottoms after a walk along the coastal path. This is one of the most authentic seafood restaurants you will find and a must if you like seafood and are in North Norfolk. We had lobster thermidor and crab and it was outstanding. The chocolate brownies were also wonderful. The owners are also the fisherman and it is explained that some things may not always be available if they haven’t been able to catch them. I note from some of the reviews that it is very expensive. This always makes me think that if you mention the price in a restaurant review you probably can’t afford it!

Restaurant in a beautiful country setting by the sea with fishing boats & fishing gear all around. Outdoor seating. Big carpark. I ate a Cromer crab salad with new potatoes (Or chips if you want) Excellent service & everything clean & healthy. Yes I would return.

We were seated in the conservatory part with the views of the fields where the view horses and the sea. We were greeted by the team of staff who were in great spirits and gave a great feel and welcoming to the place. We were served by Abby and. ELLIE. They were very attentive to our needs.And the food was served in perfect timing. We had half a lobster each garlic.And it was great.

2nd visit as needed to bring our friends here. Pleased to say no one was disappointed! The food was fab, the staff were attentive and the atmosphere was great. We arrived a few mins early and were sat at the front with menus and We would have had more to drink whilst waiting for our table but sadly the staff were busy. One of our party became unwell (nothing to do with the restaurant) and staff kindly delayed our mains and helped us get our friend back to feeling better! We will definitely return!

Lovely meal in a great setting to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Food was wonderful and staff welcoming and attentive. Our third visit. Looking forward to the next one!

What a beautiful restaurant with great view of beach and sea, great outside area as well. Quality is fabulous the choice of seafood is incredible and so good. Staff were so helpful and friendly. We will definately be back.

Excellent food. Good fast service. Pleasant enough staff. Dog friendly. Easy to book table in advance. Plenty of parking. Pity it was too cold and windy to eat outside

Good food, but the price hurt... The night before we had extraordinary food at Gunton Arms for £183 and this was £200 for lunch... it was good, but I've had better lobster in Norfolk at a lower price... Enjoyable and fresh , but way too much for a casual lunch...

Arrived 30 mins before opening time but were welcomed in and advised kitchen not open till 12, which was fine as we were just passing. We both had scallops to start which came as 3 large ones each & tasted wonderful. I followed these up with lobster Thermidor chips & salad and Jo had prawn and haddock pappardelle, which she enjoyed. I wasn’t too keen on the Thermidor but that’s just me. We both had puddings. Presentation of everything was great and staff were attentive.

I wouldn’t recommend this place if you are just wanting fish snd chips . I think it’s mire of a sea food restaurant. We love sea food but today we fancied fish and chips and that’s what we ordered . We weren’t too keen on the batter . It’s gluten free and just not very tasty . The fish inside it was nice and fresh though . The chips tasted like they had been reheated too . I had a Runton mess for dessert which was underwhelming as it was shop bought meringues with berries and a small amount of pouring cream rather than nicely whipped cream . My glass of Albariño cost £11 . Fish and chips £22 . Dinner for 2 £86 as they add an optional 12 per cent service charge . We won’t be returning

We had a really delicious meal here, we had lobsters and a crab salad, plentiful portions and lovely fresh seafood. Our daughter had chicken and chips, tasty but small portion for price. The kiln was a nice quiet alcove for us to sit in. We had a nice enough server, but barely saw them, no check in on how our meal was, no asking if we needed more drinks, had to flag someone to get the bill etc,. If service charge is automatically included make it great service!

We popped in for lunch, whole lobster and small platter, both absolutely amazing, great flavours and very filling. Good service and location

What a lovely place. Plenty of parking Great setting with sea view Lovely staff Clean and spacious seating Fabulous food If you’re not a fish fan I recommend the chicken poke. Fish and chips excellent. What’s not to like? We will be back! Oh and dog friendly too 👍🏻

What fabulous food we had after a lovely walk along the coast We had fish cakes and haddock both where delicious followed by lemon posset was to die for x

Just so good! Dog friendly table (a relatively new policy I think), friendly and faultless service and of course amazing food. Fish and chips was sublime - hot, flaky fish, the lightest and crispiest batter and perfect chips. Also had the lobster which (so I’m told!) was perfect. We will be back…. Often!

What a find! Excellent food, great service and good atmosphere. We had the best oysters, crab and lobster we’ve had anywhere. Highly recommended. 5*

The best sea food meal we have had. Family celebrating an 80th birthday. We had the sea food platter plus some sides to make up between three. Crab salad, Half Lobster and Chicken Burger and crevettes. All was so fresh and tasty. The Garlic bread...

Beautiful location, qwerty decor and really friendly staff. It was a Friday early evening and we had booked. - quite a few things on menu not available. Food was very nicely presented, but hate to say it, extremely overpriced for what was served. And with...

A lovely atmosphere, decor & style. The staff were so friendly, knowledgable and were more than willing to help and accommodate any requests. The food was just wonderful, tasty, delicate and very well presented, also very reasonably priced for the exceptional quality and portion size....

Food is excellent, really good menu for adults and kids, fresh and beautifully cooked. Not cheap, but you will not be disappointed. Equally good was the service, extremely polite and went out of their way to accommodate us as the online booking hadn't registered us...

Recommended Lunch venue & it didn’t disappoint. Delicious fresh, locally sourced produce served by nice staff. Rustic surroundings. I had Lobster & it was mouth watering & almost beating it was the sumptuous Creme Brûlée, in house made, which was as good as any I’d...

Wonderful! Delicious and local food. Great staff - what a wonderful spot. Prawn were yummy but the garlic bread was incredible!

Was disappointed after all the hype on the tv. Good service but the crab chowder had little taste. My husband had the mussels which were tiny and not the best he had tasted

If you like fresh seafood Rocky Bottoms is up there with the best. Perhaps a little pricy, but still worth it. Service good. Friendly and helpful. The outside space might be great on good day, but more of a challenge at this time of year!...

We went for lunch on the last day of our holiday as mum loves seafood - especially local Cromer crab and lobster. I had asked for an easy access table as mum uses a walker - there is blue badge parking at the front of...

Excellent fresh food, best crab I have had in many years, friendly and efficient staff, lovely location and a beautiful day to boot! We shall definitely be back such a shame we don’t live nearer!

Birthday Surprise! Booked lunch as a birthday surprise for my wife. Our 2nd visit and it was even better than the first. Wonderful food, staff are amazing and accommodating. Nothing is too much trouble. Shame we live two hours away would be here every week!!...

After passing this place on many an occasion i was reminded of its existence by Mortimers and Whitehouses fishing show. Upon arrival your met with a really lovely setting, crab baskets, outdoor seating, carefully and tastfully put together, not to mention the view. The staff...

Last night we enjoyed dressed crab and crevettes. Both were full of flavour and did not disappoint. We both love seafood and the dressed crab can only be highly recommended.

My family booked Rocky Bottoms as a birthday treat as none of our had been before. Having read some unfavourable reviews regarding running out of crab & lobster we tried to pre-order but were told this was not possible. However, on arrival the friendliness of...

I booked the restaurant after seeing it showcased on a tv show about Norfolk. My dad loves seafood and was really looking forward to it. However. The seafood platter we ordered was nothing special considering it was £90! It was fresh but just needed something...

Booked on line where it said we were on the reserve list but when we arrived we were told this wasn’t a “thing” so I would recommend u phone to book a table!!!! Having driven for nearly an hour I wasn’t impressed but Luckily, the...

Went for lunch and chose the seafood platter for two. It didn't disappoint. Firstly, everything was extremely fresh. Crab, lobster, salmon, herring, crevettes and a fish mousse. The portions were large and we asked for a doggy bag as we couldn't finish all the crevettes....

This place doesn't really need reviews, it is packed out seemingly all the time, however, we had such a wonderful experience I am writing one anyway! We wanted to eat outside, they open at 12, we were there a bit early having walked - "no...

Me and my wife went for lunch. Squid starter delicious... Generous portion..... Mains were crevettes which were fantastic... My wife had crab salad which was equally delicious and good portion... Pudding was ice cream one scoop which was more than enough... My wife had rockys...

Unique and picturesque location overlooking the sea nestled between west Runton and Cromer. Great views, good service and a reasonable menu. Location is fantastic and staff attentive. We look forward to our next visit.

Just been for dinner with the family..absolutely delicous! Hadnt been for a while...and not disappointed!!

Food was OK. Not cheap nor exceptional. Staff were pleasant and efficient But a 15% service charge levelled by the owner albeit optional is a ridiculous amount and policy I tip in general and judged it at 5%. If he fills his staff should be...

I can perfectly understand there may be occasions when crabs are not available unfortunately this establishment does not seem to be prepared for this eventuality. Instead we were offered their standard menus which were decidely tatty and contained many crab dishes. My wife therefore chose...

A crab place that has no crab! What rubbish. Food was distinctly average but not cheap. Drinks were also quite expensive.

Great service and fantastic food. After lunch lovely afternoon sitting in surrounding gardens with a cool drink. Would highly recommend.

What a fantastic meal but service and long wait ruined the whole experience. We did voice our dissapointment with staff, who fully understood and explained a chef was ill and they were struggling with numbers of clients that day. We ordered sweet but after 30mins,...

An average and overpriced experience unfortunately and left slightly disappointed. Firstly, not all bad points, the location, restaurant and outdoor seating was really lovely and a good selection of drinks available, the chips and salad was lovely and also the fish cakes. Unfortunately parts of...

Went here for lunch with my husband ,service was good ,the quiche was very good and full of crab and lobster..Would come again and bring friends .

Had high hopes for this restaurant due to rave reviews and because we are seafood mad. Service was friendly but menu was limited. That was OK as we know fresh seafood depends on the catch. However, the reason for the average review was that it...

Our Air BnB host recommends this in her welcome pack. We booked outside on a Friday as we had our dog with us. Staff were really polite and friendly. We had 3 courses each and a bottle of wine. It was really lovely - pate...

If you’re a fan of seafood. You need to visit. The food is incredible. Freshly cooked, and tasted divine. Staff also really attentive and couldn’t fault them. Ten out of ten all round.

On arriving at the kiosk to buy takeaway crab, the girl said I won’t be a second. After 2 minutes she arrived with a sandwich she’d made for a customer. On ordering 3 x medium crabs packed in ice for a long journey, she then...

This place is excellent! The staff are so committed to ensuring you are enjoying yourself and your food. There is a waiter that goes by the name “Chilli” who runs around everywhere working his socks off. He is outstanding and very charismatic he made our...

Fantastic lunch after a long walk along the coast. The staff could not have been more attentive and the food was delicious - superb squid and lobster as well as sublime desserts. Highly recommended.

Wow! We were blown away by the freshness of the dressed crab and lobster Thermidor which had been caught earlier that morning. There’s a lovely relaxed atmosphere with everyone enjoying the food, drink, and summer sun. Lots of seating inside and out, but reservations are...

Lovely fresh seafood in a great setting. Seafood platter was very good. Service was really good. Well worth a visit.

Everything fine but service was slow, but was busy.... Didnt have platter as too expensive, Still prefer Crab House Welles

This is the second time we have visited now, the last being around 5 years ago. I can honestly say our experience got better the second time round which I did not think would be possible since we loved it the first time. As a...

Such a gem of a place, quite expensive but well worth it. Food was amazing, location is stunning, service was good. We throughly enjoyed our afternoon, sitting in the sun listening to chilled vibes - totally blissed out!

Our favourite place to eat when we visit North Norfolk. Visited on the Monday evening and the Thursday lunchtime. Amazing food & wine. Great location. Special mention to Emily & Chilli for looking after us.

Fantastic supper with family. Best meal of our week's holiday in Cromer. Delicious oysters, salt and pepper squid, lobster, crab linguine and seafood laksa. Good for gluten free options too. Great service and the whole place had a lovely welcoming vibe. Beautiful outside spaces too....

What a fabulous lunch, superb staff, amazing food, what more can you ask for. The seafood platter was spot on, we had 2 and shared between 6 with a couple of extras, was perfect.

We walked in to eat here and got a table, but booking is advised. The food we had was excellent as was the service. We had a dog so sat outside. I think there is an area indoors to for dogs.

A bit hit and a bit miss, called in whilst passing on our bikes. Oysters were delicious, we shared 6 to start One crab salad, one lobster salad, both well prepared and nicely portioned Chips were poor, oddly over-brown but strangely wet in the interior...

We were in the area looking for some good seafood and stumbled upon this place. We were really blown away by just how good it was! Great food with great staff and lots of attention to detail, we will definitely be returning

We had a selection and all of the food was delicious and served with a smile - and plenty of napkins! Seated in the conservatory we had a great view without the wind.

A lovely location with excellent views. The service from the manager leaves a lot to be desired, unfriendly, surly and not very engaged to be honest. The fish and chips were good but the linguine was a little dry. Toilets were not very clean. Overall a little disappointing when this place has such great potential. Staff training and friendliness could be a good place to start.

The food was absolutely delicious. A the three of us has different dishes, all lovely. The oysters were divine ( apparently, no thanks!). Good setting and very nice staff. Thank you .

I’m sure people that live in Norfolk know about This great eatery!…Well if they don’t I’m going to tell them!So easy to just drive in and parkYou were then come to a very attractive establishment…Surrounded by lovely gardens…The food is mainly fish caught freshly each day!…A really great place to hang out eat and drink and chat to the really friendly staff!…Can’t wait to go back again before the season endsif you haven’t been thereGo now and have a great timeThank you Colin and bev

I had spotted the venue on trip advisor before our visit to Cromer but hadn’t planned to eat there specifically. We happened upon it as we walked from Cromer to West Runton & saw the venue close by. Perfectly timed for lunch! We treated ourselves to the seafood platter. Really fresh and tasty combo of lobster, crab, herring, oysters, langoustines, salad and fries. Delicious and highly recommended. Staff and manager were friendly and accommodating.

We turned up around the time they were meant to close on a Monday night at the start of off season hoping to get some crab from the hut as everywhere else is closed. I think they had technically closed already but someone came out to serve us and a family who drove in after we walked up. They even managed to find some cutlery for us to eat it with. Couldn't have been happier with our tea or the service. Thank you so much for saving us in our quest for food on our first night here!

Excellent meal fair prices and great service in a stunning location with sea views. What more could you ask from this great restaurant on the Norfolk coastal path

Very rude staff after I walked through From the beach entrance to see what the restaurant was all about, with a view to visiting next summer.Safe to say I will not be visiting!I was told ‘it’s not a public footpath’How welcoming!

Great welcome and service. Squeezed us in as a walk in. We both had a lovely lobster salad and an ice cold beer. Perfect.The restaurant is in a great setting and fully accessible.Samuel Thomas's uplifting, joyous, artwork adds to the experience.A meal that was good for the soul.

Dropped in after spotting the entrance enroute to our cottage, the staff where really friendly and accommodated us with the only available table - it was Wednesday lunchtime, out of season, and the car park and restaurant was full! We came with a 15 week old puppy and there was no problem sitting either inside or out. Food was so fresh, and came quickly, well presented and tasted amazing - all plates finished. We’re only in Sheringham a week but likely to head back before we leave. Highly recommended!

Top notch food and excellent service summed up our Rocky Bottom experience. This was an architecturally superb building whose modern yet rustic surroundings had an endearing ambiance. Our group ate a variety of seafood dishes most of which were based on crab. All were hearty portions which were both filling and delicious. The waitresses were friendly helpful and attentive. If you like seafood you will not be disappointed by this unassuming gem of a restaurant on the North Norfolk coast.

We went to this restaurant for a mid week lunch. We hadn’t booked a table but they managed to find us a table. We were put on the table with another four tables in the small back room by the bar and kitchen area which was a bit scruffy. The music was quite loud and I was a bit disconcerted when an obvious favourite track of a member of staff was turned up and they started singing along with it. I was also concerned as I expected the rooms at the front which was a much nicer dining area would have been full but noticed on going to the toilet there were no one sitting at the tables here. It was clear then that the staff had put us all together in the back room for their convenience of service and so they could chat with the kitchen staff and keep an eye on us at the same time. The menu was very limited with no smaller lunch time alternatives. My husband’s fish and chips was very disappointing with very pale hardly cooked chips and batter. My crab pasta dish was fine. However, I had the lemon posset for dessert. This was half a cereal bowl of thick cream with no flavouring of lemon at all. We visited this restaurant about 18 months ago and was very impressed with it then so it was such a disappointment. The whole set up seemed to be run for the convenience and ease of the staff and not for providing a good dining experience for the customers.

My partner and I dined here late afternoon yesterday after a day of walking along the coastal path.We shared the seafood platter and a bottle of wine.The food was awesome could not fault it at all.Staff friendly.A truly great find and would definitely visit again if we return to the area.

Omg what an amazing restaurant the food was awesome and the staff were so friendly. We had the lobster which was to die for. Highly recommend

We came here on recommendations. We wasn't shown to our table, the girl just pointed at the table. We wasn't offered a drink, just what you food we wanted, we had to ask for drinks. My husband and I both had 1/2 Lobster with garlic butter, salad and new potatoes. The Lobster was cold, and tough, we Didn't even get the claw, which is usually the best part. The service was very poor, we was never asked if we wanted anything else, or any sauces etc, not even how the food was, the staff really didn't care. When we complained, the young girl wasn't interested and didn't care, her answer was "My dad cooks the Lobsters in the morning and just warms them up under the grill" when we said that the Lobster wasn't hot, we were told that it wasn't meant to be hot.. Very, very disappointed and will definitely not be returning.

Went for early lunch on Thursday, glad we booked a table as it was full by 12:30. Small menu but what’s on there is very good and we enjoyed our meals. I had the crab linguine which had mint, chilli & lime through it and was amazing we all agreed it was our best dish. Friends had a crab salad with lovely potatoes and fish & chips. Great service, nice wine list and a lovely setting. Shame it was raining but guess in better weather with the doors open it would be perfect. Definitely will return when next in Cromer.Didn’t get any photos but made my version of the crab linguine when I got back from my holiday this evening

After a very good experience on Friday- we were disappointed on the Saturday as we were put on what looked like a child’s table with both of us looking out of the window ,even though there were other tables being unused . We ordered and service was very quick but garlic bread never arrived until we went to the bar to ask - then when it came it was smothered and really unpleasant . We’ve been coming here for a few years when we are in the area and it is not as it used to be .

We had a delicious lunch here yesterday . We had booked online. The weather was good so we sat outside on the terrace. Nice sea view. I had a whole lobster , salad and fries. There was plenty of delicious lobster apparently caught locally in Weybourne. A glass of fizz worked well with it. My Husband had a very tasty crab salad. Friendly , efficient young staff. We then walked along the cliffs into East Runton and Cromer. West Runton also has a train station.

We arrived on the early side for lunch, which was fortunate as a queue soon built up. The lady who 'met and greeted us' looked as though we had spoilt her day by turning up. The young waitress who served us was more friendly but was obviously rushed off her feet. They seem to be short of staff.The seafood platter was fresh and tasted good but the price of £65 was pretty steep.

We stopped in here for lunch on a Tuesday whilst on a short break. It was really busy and after eating here we’re not surprised!The seafood was first class and the setting is beautiful! Service was quick given how full they were.I wouldn’t hesitate to return and or recommend a visit to others!

We’ve been coming here for over five years now, it’s expanded in size owing to the success of the restaurant. The seafood is amazing, the staff are brilliant and it has the best sounds around. Lobster and fries with Steve Forbert, Neil Young and Steely Dan in the background. Perfect!

What an amazing place this is, a true find. This is always a popular place and as they don’t currently take bookings you may have to queue, up its well worth the wait. They have lots of of tables outside, some under a canvas canopy, others one their cliff top field and others on their open terrace. There is also tables inside but on the hot sunny day we were able to sit outside. The menu is written on a chalk board - which you need to take a phot of so you can order at the table, the expanse of the menu will depend on the current days fishing as everything is really fresh having been caught that morning. My sister and I shared the Rocky Bottoms Platter with was amazing and truly beautifully presented. Whilst my cousin had the Crevettes which took him back to family holidays in Brittinay. It’s our second visit and certainly won’t be our last. If you love sea food and love a different dining experience I would recommend Rocky Bottom.The staff are amazing and extremely friendly; the environment is relaxed and has brilliant surrounding with the sea in the distance. Thank you Rocky Bottom for the amazing ecxperience and the memories

Lunch at RB's was a lovely way to end our week's stat in Cromer. We were lucky to have sunny weather, so enjoyed our lunch outside. It's not possible to book, so as it's walk-in only be prepared to wait to be shown to a table and for food to be prepared. It's worth it!!

We arrived just before they opened at mid-day but even then there was a long queue. Service was painfully slow which appeared to be due to the kitchen rather than waiting staff as plenty of people taking orders. Haddock and chips were adequate but nothing special. This restaurant was recommended to us friends so maybe they were having an off day. Unfortunately won't be rushing back.

Seafood is my favourite food so I always source out places that do platters so I can always end my holiday with one. So all week I was excited to be going and looking forward to it. When it arrived the plate was huge but I soon realised that at least half of it was chips and salad. It delicious but for 1 small crab, 1 small lobster, 2 pieces of fish which I think were sprats, 6 oysters and 6 prawns it wasn't worth £65.00 I had that plus mussels scallops and langestines in brixham for only £50.00 less salad and more seafood please then it would be worth the money.

Really enjoyed lunch at Ricky Bottoms in lovely garden surroundings. We arrived on a sunny weekday at around 1pm as a walk in, we waited around 20 minutes to be seated, staff were greeting customers on arrival so the slight wait was no issue. We had a seafood platter which was fantastic, excellent quality seafood, beautifully dressed, we found it good value for the quality of the product. Also had desserts which were very good. The staff were friendly and efficient despite a busy service. A highlight of our holiday.

Having been born in West Runton and visited this establishment in what can only be considered the good old days, which in reality is just pre-Covid.Sadly, now work in the delights of Milton Keynes, and whilst no shore line, this family saga no longer know the meaning of customer service -the guys working in MK and the surroundings could certainly show them some worthwhile habits!Phoned and told to turn up early, so we did, even said it was for 7, accepted said request, only to be told on arrival and ten minutes before opening that it was a No, and not a polite No, especially when you questioned the empty tables! Buyer beware even the locals have had enough, It was good, very good but not any more it had to supposedly close for issues, due to staff no longer wanting to work there. Not a surprise.If you like lobster, mussels and associated seafood do look elsewhere - it really has passed its shelf life and sadly it’s days post Covid can surely only be numbered.

Overrated. Online website said no pre booking, so first come first serve. However as previously mentioned in reviews, there were some reserved tables! It was very hot today and we were greeted by notice ‘one hours wait’! We had walked from Cromer so was ready to sit down and order a drink. No such luck. We were standing if full heat for ages. The ‘matre D’ was running around like a headless chicken but didn’t meet and greet people as per the signage. Many people in the queue were complaining about the lack of greeting. Eventually we were seated on a dirty table. Service was painfully slow, we asked 3 members of staff for water for the table which came late on the 3rd attempt. They seems short of staff. With the exemption of an older lady, the staff were slow lack lustre and forgetful! Totally overrated. Crab salad looked nice but was tasteless. Wouldn’t return.

Party of 4 on holiday and we ate there twice. The service was efficient and very friendly. Would certainly go again if we lived locally.
