The best restaurants in Priory North Norfolk East of England

Absolutely exceptional, as usual. I really cannot fault this establishment. It looks unprepossessing from the outside, but has an excellent ambience inside, lovely staff, and wonderful food. I cannot think of a better restaurant that I have visited in this country. If you are in, or near, Wells-next-the-Sea, you must give it a try. The only people who might not like it are those who do not like fish! It is a fish restaurant that gives a nod to meat-eaters.

Opened especially for our group of 16 for lunch of soup and sandwiches (on our way from Essex to Thursford, Norfolk). Both delicious, host very welcoming.

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.

Alway a pleasure to return to this wonderful resturant. Colin and family are very welcoming and the experience full of fun and laughter. Always one of our first go to places when we visit Norfolk and we visit a lot. Thanks Colin and Team your the TOPS Jack Scrivens MBE

...oh my goodness! Who cares if it has a week's calories in a slice? It's a good thing I don't live locally: I'd have to pop in every day and would probably be several stones heavier.

Great food great friendly service and value for money

Walked in just as they were closing and clearing up, yet received a really warm welcome as I'd we were the first customers of the day. Lovely old school tea shop with great cakes, friendly service and a welcome break from the rain. Would recommend when visiting Wells

We’ve been coming here for years. The food is always good and a welcoming stop with the dog after a long walk. The only thing that really lets it down is the coffee and cake. I’d love to see some homemade local cakes on offer instead of the prepackaged tasteless ones they sell. You’ve got to have decent coffee and cake after a cold wet dog walk! Norfolk offers great coffee everywhere now and it seems the court yard cafe at Holkham is lagging behind.

Such a lovely spot, we came here for breakfast at 11, and although we hadn't booked a table we were able to get seated (next time I will certainly be booking, as I think does get busy). The man that showed us to our table was so warm and welcoming as was the lady who took our order. I got a strawberry milkshake with a vegetarian breakfast and my partner got the full English with a mocha. Both were incredible and extremely well priced given the prices of other establishments in North Norfolk. The atmosphere was also very nice, the building has been restored beautifully and the priory is just outside to walk around once you have finished your meal. I will certainly be coming again!

Visited this lovely bakery on Sunday for the first time. The range of bakery items is outstanding with reasonable prices and friendly staff. The carrot cake especially is so yummy. A must go to bakery in Wells.

Very nice pub. The staff were friendly and the food was great. We only had a snack as it was lunch, but the quality was easy to see.

We had the satay curry, my husbands with meat myself the vegan one. Super tasty. Super filling. Great value. A must go to. We will be back !

Very friendly local pub. Good food and generous portions.

Good fish and chips. Not greasy, nicely crispy, fresh, decent portions. A small wait for them, which is fair. We ate in which was okay. We had to ask for a table to be wiped which was done, but very poorly so we tried to sort it ourselves with napkins. Just needed more attentive service there as it was easily possible to clean it sooner and better. Would return though.

Absolutely loved the seafood platter I ordered. The staff were very friendly and I enjoyed my time and meal here. Would definitely visit again.
