Restaurants · Cromer
Perched above the seafront, this is a proper sit-down dinner spot with tables looking straight out at Cromer pier — worth asking for a window seat, and worth booking, because the good ones go. The kitchen leans seafood: haddock in a light, crisp batter, chilli squid, lobster bisque, monkfish wrapped in pancetta. Children get a kids' menu (limited choice, but chips arrive in a little beach bucket with a spade, which lands very well), and there are high chairs and vegan options. The gluten-free menu is unusually broad and the team clearly know their allergens. Two honest snags: the stairs are narrow with nowhere to park a pram, and there's no baby changing. Service is warm and attentive; food quality can wobble on a busy day, though staff get consistent praise.
