The best restaurants serving Seafood food in North Norfolk East of England

You'll find By The Quayside on Blakeney Quay (on the right hand side of the car park as you go in). This is a must visit. You can eat outside at the tables or get your food to take away. Whilst we were staying at Blakeney, we enjoyed a variety of their delicious food. Sandwiches - Tuna; smoked salmon and dill and horseradish dressing; fresh crab - all served on really fresh bread and generously filled. We also tried the salt and pepper squid, which came with a dip; their own fish finger sandwich (lovely toasted ciabatta roll with just the right amount of dressing; dressed crab; and half a lobster tail. Everything, including the dressed crab and lobster, are made to order. No pre-packaged food here, all served up with a smile and a chat. So, so friendly. One day we were late home and they were packing up, but it wasn't any trouble for them to make up our order. I can't stress how generous the portions were - but even more important was the price. For the quality and freshness, other fish stalls/huts were almost twice the price. Which was the reason we kept returning and urge you to go too. My husband actually heard the owner speaking to another local business person, who was suggesting she should put her prices up (Blakeney is an expensive place); but she was firm in her belief that she wanted it to be affordable for the many visitors that came to the town and was happy with what she was charging. To the lovely ladies that run the stall, thank you so much for being so friendly and accommodating, we're just sorry that we didn't get your names so we could credit you. We wish you continued success.

2 stars for not showing correct time. Says open when in fact it’s closed.

Closed on arrival although early afternoon. Poor parking provision by local authority. Not much else to do especially when raining

Lovely people here just taken tgis place over very nice indeed

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

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.

Excellent food served here but do not order the inedible grey sausage, also ketchup watered down. Apart from this it would be 5 star l. Service is friendly and efficient.

Great food cater for intolerance to wheat and dairy. Can have a drink in the bar with your dogs.

Excellent fish... really flaky with light and crispy batter, very good crispy chips, and liked their mushy peas. Service was pleasant and seemed well organised. Tasted even better by the sea. Whilst it wasn't cheap, the portions were huge, and although only had small of each, we could have probably shared a portion of chips and peas between two of us. Would happily return.

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

The Good - the fish and chips were lovely, when you eventually get them (see The Bad). The Bad - their food is made on order, so not like a conventional fish and chip shop where the food is pretty much already made and the service is fast. I was in the queue for probably 3 quarters of an hour (no exaggeration). As soon as you’re inside the shop, you’re asked what you want, which gives you a false sense of optimism. It just means your food is made on order though. Meanwhile, all the customers in front of you, once they start being served at the till, take about 10 minutes each. There is only one person serving and two people cooking. I understand why they’re doing this - it’s to increase their margin and avoid wastage. But all that comes at a cost to the customer who suffers awful service. Maybe think about having two people on service and see your reviews regularly scoring 5.

I have used this fish and chip shop before and really enjoyed eating there fish and chips, but this time the fish was obviously cooked the day before the batter was like cardboard and fish really dry and inedible had to bin the fish the dog wouldn’t even eat it!

Always been a great chippy for as long as I can remember. The best in cromer by a country mile. Based on personal experience

Dreadful experience. Fish & chips very poor, curry sauce stayed in the bowl when turned upside down. Very confusing to order and service slow , had thought we would give it another go after a poor experience a few years ago. Won’t make the same mistake again. Very disappointed.

Great fish and chips again, just the job for a Friday night, very fresh as always. Why does trip adviser insist on 100 characters???? lol Many thanks
