Seafood · Norwich
Tucked by the Broads in Horning, this small seafood spot takes fish seriously and stays quiet enough that a family meal doesn't feel like an ordeal — visitors single out how un-noisy it is, with orders taken promptly and warmly. High chairs, a kids' menu, buggy access and free parking make the logistics easy. The menu is short and written up on a blackboard, so expect five to fifteen minutes before you see what's on; the cooking is worth the wait — baked Cromer crab, scallops, cod with samphire and crispy skin, sole, swordfish with tomato and chilli jam. Portions are generous and the desserts (white chocolate cheesecake, brownie with caramel ice cream) earn the space. Prices sit at the higher end, and the odd dish arrives overcooked, but families drive from as far as Cambridge once a year for it.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
