Lovely modern sea food restaurant, great staff. the thermidor was nice and tangy. Great views out to sea, with ample indoor outdoor seating. Dog friendly as well

We were in Norfolk on a short break and felt we had to track down some lobster.
Here, there was plenty on offer, we both went for warm lobster, which was offered with a salad, and new potatoes or fries.
It came with a choice of three sauces, we both went for the buttery garlicky one, swerving away from Thermidor or Thai.
Delicious.
Service was impeccable, price about what you'd expect.
The room we were seated in, and to be fair we hadn't booked and just walked-in was windowless, a disappointment on a lovely coastal day.

Personal choice but the tempura batter on the oysters was a bit heavy - have had lighter elsewhere - ditto on the fish. The fish itself however was delicious, fresh and moist and the oysters were meaty. Overall an excellent meal with friendly and helpful staff.

Had a lovely meal which was slightly tainted by a mess up in the kitchen. The starters and the mains were brought out at the same time. This didn’t really affect the lobster meal but the chicken in the ramen broke apart and formed a stodgy remains in the last 1/4 of the ramen. They offered to take the oysters off the bill but we didn’t chase that up as we’d ran out of time. If this hadn’t have happened it would be a 4/5 * and we WILL be going back. Just unlucky on this visit but would recommend a visit. If ordering chips request unsalted as the kids couldn’t eat them. Also the garlic bread is amazing.

Food and service was flawless. However the interior was a letdown and felt a little sterile like a Novotel breakfast area. Also the owner has stated that the automatically added service charge is removable, but that doesn't seem to be in the spirit of a relaxed experience. This should definitely be removed and left to the customers discretion.
Can't wait to go back in the summer when we can sit outside!

A wonderful place on the Norfolk Coast to have lunch with friends and family. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Dogs welcome. We had the fish cakes, crab and lobster burger, mackerel pate and avocado salad. Around £25 per head. On-site parking. Close to West Runton beach. Perfect end to a morning of fossil hunting.

This place is a gem. It’s a beautiful place; very clean and well presented, right next to the sea. Fresh catch every day, food deliciously prepared and served by friendly, welcoming staff. And you can get fresh seafood to take home with you from a separate little place next to the restaurant.
They were quite busy when we called, today, after we randomly found them through Google maps. A table wasn’t guaranteed but we thought we’d chance it; very happy we did.
They kindly made space for myself, my wife and two children, and the food was delicious. Portions are extremely reasonable, and quality is just right. My wife, being Japanese, is not easily impressed by seafood, she’s used to some of the best in the world, and Rocky Bottoms scored very highly in her book. And the children were pleased with what they had, as was I.
Also, don’t leave without having the fudge brownie.
We’ll certainly be returning there.

We love coming here 2 or 3 times a year and came again today for our sons birthday, it didn't disappoint. In fact my crab linguine was better than ever and I have it every time I come. Our only disappointment was the service charge they put on. I find this so frustrating as we would always leave a good tip because the food and service is impeccable, but when done like this it just feels like an extra charge and i ended up not leaving as much as i normally would! This won't put us off though. We can't wait to get back there ASAP. Lovely experience again

The service we received for lunch was excellent, friendly young people, happy and enthusiastic. Grilled oysters were amazing, salt n pepper squid was nice if a little rubbery. Crab linguini was nice for my partner but too much oil accumulated in the bottom of the bowl. I had the goan king prawn curry, it was delicious but prawns slightly overcooked. Strawberry and mint sorbet was more of an ice cream. Portion sizes were perfect and wine went well. We'll definitely be back very soon.
