The best restaurants in North Norfolk East of England

We dropped in on a Friday, with a view to having lunch. We had never been to The White Horse before, but had seen positive reviews. We were warmly welcomed by the friendly staff and ordered our drinks. For those that imbibe, there appears to be a well stocked bar. We had a look at the menu and decided upon the chicken pie with vegetables and the crispy pork belly. We were advised that there would be a 30 minute wait, as all of the food is cooked freshly. There are three eating areas, if you ignore the gardens; the bar, the conservatory and a lovely looking restaurant. We retired to the conservatory to await our meals. Sure enough, 30 minutes later our meals arrived and looked really scrumptious. The pie was obviously freshly cooked…it’s obvious when pastry has been reheated in a microwave! My belly pork looked gorgeous. We tucked in and without a word of a lie, both meals really were delicious. Being a lunchtime and we had a walk back to Cromer awaiting, we didn’t partake in desserts…I doubt we could actually have eaten one anyway! We had a really positive experience, lovely food, good service and we will be back! We definitely recommend The White Horse.

Very friendly welcome. Helpful staff. Nice room.Good value breakfast with excellent choice of food.

Wonderful place to visit, loved the food and the coffee was amazing. We felt welcome and the service was great. Im gluten and dairy free and the ladies were very knowledgeable about what they had on offer. I’ve rarely seen such a wide selection of cakes, although not much choice of gluten and dairy free. However, the owner told me they had lots in the farm shop and was happy to offer me something from there. Next time we visit North Norfolk we will definitely come here again and recommend to others.

What a lovely welcoming village pub

My husband and I went to Wells Deli for breakfast and it was absolutely delicious! Super fresh and full of flavour! Staff really friendly and welcoming and love the fact it’s dog friendly too😊

Have always avoided in the summer. Came for dinner. A nice menu, we both chose liver and bacon, although it was a hot evening! It was delicious. Dog friendly, a plate of biscuits delivered for our dog. A suggestion would be for the patio area to be swept and tidied, and the outside tables cleaned.

Great service from the lovely waitress and the food was great too. We had the Olz burger and quiche which both were great and would gladly return again.

Amazing restaurant! Delicious, tasty food and really friendly staff. Good value for money and pleasant atmosphere. Highly recommend this delightful place.

Had a lovely meal during Norfolk Restaurant Week. The food was excellent and the service very good. A really nice atmosphere in the restaurant too.

Been going to the Clifton for over ten years, not staying but dining, drinks etc, spent an absolute fortune, always been friendly and great place, since it’s been took over what a change, we were here last year, only managed to get in once, place was dead, but staff say they only serving residents, now we we spend a few hingmdred pound a time and the place is dead, what’s going on, staff rude , I hope the new owners see this review as we normally here in cromer 6 weeks or more a year, used to eat every day in here but never again will I return, been turned away, rudely too many times, good luck but I bet this place has lost a fortune, keep clear of the place head into cromer, much friendlier now

Great food and very pleasant staff. Clean and comfortable seating. Quick service. Nothing too much trouble for staff. Plenty of car parking.

Stayed in the B and B which was wonderful and homely. It is dated but had all I needed and bed was comfortable and room was clean. The view of the sea was amazing. Breakfast was well cooked and a rug put by the fire each morning with a sausage breakfast for my dog Poppy. Stayed each night for dinner which were all homemade and delicious. Bar staff were attentive and polite. Landlady Ann was just wonderful. Reasonably priced food and accommodation. I would stay again.

We didn’t book a table, but asked politely if we could offer food & drinks, they we’re unnecessarily rude and abrupt, telling us we couldn’t sit in as tables were all reserved and that they’re too busy to offer us food. We ordered drinks and squeezed into a small table in the beer garden. I understand that they were busy, but there was no need to be so rude! We asked again a little while later if they can offer just chips (as the kids were really hungry), but they said no again, but I’d just seen them accept an order of food, and offered this reserved seating to the family in front of us, who hadn’t booked either!! Shocking! We won’t be returning. I understand that they were quite busy, but I don’t understand why they were so rude and unwelcoming.

New owners, very friendly & new food it was all great! I stopped off whilst out on the bike and had a great bacon butty followed by superb hot fudge cake with cream!

Four of us went for a curry the food was very nice and tasty we had poppadoms and pickles which were warm and crispy and the pickles were excellent.the main courses were all very tasty and well cooked the naans were fluffy and nice all together it was very very nice and the waiters were excellent.
