The best restaurants in North Norfolk East of England

Our best cafe ever We always have the breakfast and it’s the best breakfast we’ve had. Staff friendly Dogs are welcome Beautiful view of the beach

Great to see the Aviator has reopened and the new owners trying hard to welcome the local customers back to the venue they have missed since the end of December.

Every weekend I travel around the UK sightseeing and eating out and not once have I ever felt i needed to write a negative review. until today. This cafe has been the worst all rounder experience. Overpriced Bad quality food - Salty and Bitter coffee. Rude owner - attitude and even swearing. Extremely overpriced, £9 for “small” 2 bits of bacon, 2 small over cooked eggs and a piece of lukewarm toast and £11.50 for the “large” breakfast. The food was very salty and the coffee was bitter to taste. When questioned about the lack of food of the price, the owner was extremely rude and nasty, told us tuff, so had no choice to eat it and over heard him saying " Fk them", zero customer service, it was like he took it as personal attack that we wasn’t happy to the point I felt that I had to leave my phone on record while we ate due to his attitude. Even when we left the cafe, he still harassed us. Avoid this cafe.

Enjoyable evening and quite entertaining. Food delicious 😋

We visited whilst on holiday in the area. We were greeted by very friendly staff. Although the restaurant was busy, being a Saturday evening, we were not rushed and enjoyed a leisurely meal. My friend is coeliac and the menu offered her lots of choice. The food was delicious, the service was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening.

Excellent food and friendly service. There is a number of cafes in the area, as a cyclist I use most of them but this is by far the best.

This excellent restaurant has now been obliged to close so that the premises can be turned into residential dwellings. It was outstanding because of its unusually huge, varied and delicious menu, its thoughtful staff and pleasant design. There was nothing quite like it. A sad loss to Sheringham and north Norfolk.

The centric hub for this establishment is “Colin”. Owner, chef, raconteur and all round eccentric English Gentleman. His food is simple, fresh and cooked with flare and Colin’s twist. It was simply superb. My oysters all suffered from clinical obese syndrome and were the plumpest tastiest oysters I’ve ever eaten, not to mention they retained all their liquor in the shells. I had several courses including enormous juicy scallops, monkfish with scallops in lobster bisque and much more not to mention the outstanding home made prune and Armagnac bread and butter pudding with cream….. OMG….heavenly!! This 75 year boy can cook!! The experience of Colin’s company, his food and the overall experience will stay with me and my secretary for ever. Colin is a hugely funny bloke and doesn’t even realize it. Absolutely loved the whole experience and brilliant value for money if you appreciate the best food available In Norfolk!! We laughed all the way on our 3 hour journey home at every thing that happened and the calamities. Hilarious. Our new friend and our new go to restaurant “best restaurant experience “ in Norfolk. If you don’t have a sense of humour, I recommend you stay elsewhere. Colin…. You’re a legend. Thanks Pal. Rule Britannia on this May Day 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

We ordered a take away from here on our last night in Swanton Novers - which was about a five minute drive away. The food was hot when we got it home, had good portion sizes and the Penang curry was delicious. The pad Thai was nice, but could have done with some fresh lemon, peanuts and chilli flakes either in the side or over the top. The sizzling beef was lovely, as were the ribs. However, the prawns in blankets were a bit underwhelming and we couldn't find any traces of spicy pork stuffed within. However, we will return next time we're up that way.

Very welcoming local boozer. Open their arms to all their guests and super attentive. Great Guiness and selection of Gins. Gets more points for being super dog friendly

Local club with good music, bingo and very Cheap

Popped by today, had the most amazing halloumi wrap and hot chocolate, the hot chocolate is the best, cream and marshmallow. All served with a smile from the staff

We ordered two mains and two desserts from the online menu for our Sunday lunch. The food was glorious in quality and quantity and was presented in sensible cardboard boxes.

Been coming here for years but now has new owners. I wish them well but it’s been modernised and has lost its old seaside charm. Fewer seats inside for cooler days, no displays of quick food to eat. For me it’s just lost its appeal. I’m sad.

Very good food and excellent service. Kindness galore from the owners
