Spectacular, delicious & fresh! Both the crab & lobster are caught by co-owner fresh each morning. Other seafood on the menu is from local suppliers. The sharing platter for two is a comprehensive, delectable feast as is the salad with dressed Cromer crab. Both dishes are highly recommended. Everything is incredibly reasonably priced. It’s no wonder it’s a popular place with locals & visitors alike!

Amazing seafood restaurant.
If you want fresh seafood, you need to come here. It's caught fresh by the fisherman who owns the restaurant.
You can also order steak and cook it yourself how you like it on the hot rocks. It looked and smelt amazing when someone else ordered it.
We ordered the seafood platter and it was gorgeous. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone and I would come again next time I'm in Cromer.

We had baked crab, fresh but a few bits of shell mixed in mine, none in my partner's.
First beer lovely, second was flat.
Closes too early, lots of potential customers turned away.

Really lovely place and staff. Of course, had to have crab 🦀 which was lovely. Really decent portions but would have preferred some more flavour on the salad and chips. The crab was lovely tho!

Came here as the "crab pot cafe" was closed with no notice and we wanted crab today. Had the crab salad. Food was perfectly fine. Crab was decent as expected. Little short measure on the coke drink but apart from that all good. Service speed was about 15minutes from ordering at lunch which was OK. Overall it was decent enough .

Came out to Cromer on a day trip with my wife. Came in for fish and chips as we noticed they do gluten free here. Service was brilliant, staff were friendly and efficient and the food was beautiful. Enjoyed our visit and would recommend this little restaurant to anyone. Thank you for making our visit to Cromer a very enjoyable one🙂. Mr and Mrs Walker.

Daughter booked a table for 6, lunchtime on a busy sunny August Thursday, at very short notice without any issues but we were lucky as when arriving at location and seated, It was obvious that a lot of people wanted to eat here, people walking in and trying to get a table + you could hear staff constantly answering phone and had to apologise as fully booked. Greeting was nice and friendly, explained to us what was available and took order for drinks. Menu was good, plenty of sea food available and of course, Cromer crab. The food order was smooth and exactly what we would be getting, the hot rock steaks are a speciality and our 10 year old grandson enjoyed cooking his own children's steak on hot rock with garlic butter. My granddaughter had chicken selection from children's menu. My mixed grill was emmense and must admit beat me. My daughter and son in law shared a seafood platter and again a lot but they said it was exceptional. My wife had Cromer crab salad and said it was one of the best she's had. Overall, excellent food and service, well worth the very reasonable price for 6 people Including drinks.

Went here because of reviews and that they served Cromer Crab. Service was perfect and food was delicious and decent sized servings. I found prices very reasonable. Many locally sourced fresh items on their menu and my wife a vegetarian had a great meal.

Great experience, enjoyed the food, and we were looked after. I had a squid, and my other half had the mushrooms, both were great, and we then had the sharing platter. It didn't disappoint!

Excellent service & food here. Recommend the hot rock steak so you can cook your steak how you like it. Of course Cromer crab cakes to start.

This was a last minute booking but we were lucky to get seats on a Saturday lunchtime. This is definitely a cafe, and simple in its decor but we were there for the food, and the food did not disappoint! While in Cromer we opted for the crab, in fact the whole seafood platter rather than the actual hot rocks and steak. For us though, this was a plentiful portion for two, it was fresh and tasty. A simple cafe with delightful food.

The restaurant is basic looking but the food is high quality fresh produce. We ordered the “hot rocks” which is a hot plate of rocks to cook your own food - we had scallops, king prawns, sea bass with dipping sauces and garlic butter and also the hot Mediterranean “salad” which is roasted veg like courgettes, carrots, mushrooms and peppers with some wine. The fish is super fresh and so tender. All was delicious especially the sea bass with the veg. Bravo. Highly recommend… also recommend a reservation. The restaurant is very small so 30 seats approx. Afterwards go to the pier with some bacon and fish for crabs. Nets and lines sold on the pier.
