A “great-value” menu featuring plenty of fresh fish, along with local meat and game, has attracted a loyal following for this “very friendly” family-run North Norfolk venue over more than 20 years. Co-chef/founder Angela Long has ensured that standards remain high since the loss of her husband, Richard, two years ago.

This family-run north Norfolk restaurant “does what it does very well”, and that’s mainly fresh fish, along with local game – a formula that has served it well for more than 20 years. Sadly, co-chef/proprietor Richard Long died last year. “He will be sadly missed, but the good news is that his wife and co-chef/proprietor, Angela, is carrying on with the business”.

“Fantastic fresh fish and family-run atmosphere” have made this straightforward restaurant a top choice on the north Norfolk coast for two decades. “I’ve never had a bad meal here” – and beyond the “great seafood” there’s also a “dessert board that’s impossible to resist!”.

“Consistently good fresh food” has been on the menu at this “unpretentious” family-run operation for 20 years – “how they can cook fish so well always amazes me, given the numbers they cater for”. Along with the seafood, there’s local game and meat, and vegetables from their own garden.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
