The best restaurants in North Norfolk East of England

Incredibly disappointing. We are regular visitors to Wells having owned a caravan at Pinewoods for 10 years. The Globe was always our go to for food and drinks when in the town and we had always vowed to stay there on day. This was our first time with you and will sadly be our last. The room, the service and the overall experience makes it an easy decision to stay elsewhere next time. A real shame.

What a way to take advantage of late October sunshine? Sitting out with a bottle of wine and tucking into another amazing Crab Royale salad. The local delicacy, dressed crab along with cockles, smoked mackerel, prawns, coleslaw & potato salad. Probably the best value lunch along this pricey stretch of coastline. Roll on next summer for more visits to this quirky seafood shack...although interesting to see developments inside... a packed cute indoor restaurant, toasty warm, gingham tablecloths and candlelit tables. An ideal spot for birders and walkers on a nippy day. A lovely warm welcome as usual and a family business to cherish.

The food at Plattens was very good. Our Cod was beautifully cooked with no bones. We enjoyed a lovely cup of tea, while our food was being cooked fresh. The table cutlery and crockery were spotlessly clean. As were the washroom facilities. The restaurant was warm and the Christmas decorations were charming. It was all very much appreciated on what proved to be quite a wet and cold day in Wells. I would like to especially commend the nice young man who showed us our table, took our order and served us. He had excellent customer service skills. He acknowledged you as soon as you approached the counter to order, even if he was doing another job and couldn't help you just then. He was polite, efficient and conscientious. I hope Plattens look after him because he is one of the reasons we would return to eat there again.

The restaurant is out in the sticks so there was plenty of parking. The room was very quirky, full of pig ornaments and pictures. The table decor was very simple. The food was amazingly good. Simple dishes cooked just right. Mrs Barganax opted for the belly pork and black pudding. I had the half bbq chicken. Alas, there was no room for dessert.

Thought we'd give it a try on a wet & windy day in Dec..glad we did! Compliments to the chef & staff it was fab. Delicious steak & ale pie, the sticky toffee pudding was to die for all homemade! Heard they may be changing hands...who ever takes over DONT CHANGE A THING!

Always had good food here in 'Fast Food' times. Clean and friendly 5*+ will return 🍔🍟🍵

the kings arms have a regular carving on wednesday evenings definitely worth a visit, good quality food and plenty of it . the decor is a bit dated and it's a bit scruffy in parts , but it didn't distract from our visit staff generally very good

My friend booked a table for us, 3 adults, 2 children and 4 dogs. 4 of us had a carvery and 1 had a nut roast. Food was amazing, especially that parsnips! The staff were really helpful and accommodating. Super dog friendly, the dogs were given a bowl of water on arrival and all had a doggy roast dinner. Thank you

I ate here on consecutive nights during my weekend in Blakeney, since my first visit was excellent in almost every respect. The waiter was very helpful when I complained about the sticky table, explaining that it was due to over-use of sanitzer and moving me to another table with a glass top. My simple haddock and chips was perfect. Thin crispy batter, a generous helping of tartare sauce and deliciously minty pea puree. On the second night the starter of smoked mackerel pate and the seared tuna and cucumber salsa of the mains were similarly excellent. But the bed of couscous was drenched in a shoyu-based dressing that was inedibly salty. I do not mean just a bit salty. I mean heart-attack salty. A professional chef should obviously not make such a simple error and at the very least should taste their creation before passing it for service. I duly complained (though did not just send it back as I should have). The waiter deleted the service charge without my asking, but I left gasping for water despite having eaten barely 10% of the cous cous. On reflection the waiter should have apologized and returned it to the kitchen themself. The incident marred what would otherwise have been a 5-star review.

The negative reviews are from people thinking the cost of food , salaries, and gas and electric are still in the 1970’s! Gorgeous food, served hot and timely and the service from Ella was outstanding. Her male colleague was also very friendly. A lovely warm place to eat with well behaved dogs welcome. We will be back for sure Karen and Colin Bedfordshire

On a recent trip on the Norfolk Broads, we happened upon The Dog and had some lunch. Nice welcome and really good food! The Dog Menu was a particularly nice touch, bought some treats for the pooch, which she loved. The food was so good that on our last day, on the way back to the boatyard, we did a little detour and returned for another meal. Highly recommend, will definitely return! Thank you.

Excellent pub. Good food which exceeded our expectations. Great service from the lady behind the bar. Let us order despite us cutting it fine near cut off time just before 2PM and even allowed us to add desert. Warm and welcoming with roaring log fire. Ideal if you are visiting Hickling Broad nature reserve at the end of the road. We look forward to going back in the future.

Excellent Indian with friendly staff & great service. We had takeaway for family of four on Saturday early evening. After dropping by & leaving another Cromer Indian near the cliff, which was very unwelcoming, and said no takeaway till nine, we called Cromer Tandoori - what a different and amazing welcome. They couldn’t have been more helpful & polite. Easy to order, fair price, welcoming and ready in 20 mins. The good was non greasy, flavourful & exactly as described. One of the best Indian meals in a long while. Highly recommended.

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.

It was a very damp and showery morning and we weren’t sure if the restaurant was even open! But we tried the door and it was . The lady on the bar asked the kitchen if they were still serving breakfast (it was only 10.10am) and they were. We sat down and there was a very damp smell in the room. Which was a little off putting but We ordered full English and Vegan breakfast, both with coffee. The coffee were served piping Hot which was lovely as usually they go cold before breakfast is served. But breakfast came and coffee was still hot!. Breakfast was also really hot and delicious, good local produce and served with a smile. Deffo come back again! Serves lunches and coffee and cake too so worth drying at different times of the day.
