4 months agoWe traveled over 200 miles specifically to get our first taste of Cromer crab, and we weren't disappointed. It was snug and busy and we were lucky enough to get the last table for 2. Charming decor and a display of tempting goodies on display. We triumphantly ordered our crab salad, with a single large Norfolk sausage roll to share as a starter which was delicious. The main event quickly arrived, and we each had a whole dressed crab, with piping hot new potatoes, and a wonderful fresh and crispy mixed salad with an impressive pot of yummy homemade coleslaw. Absolutely faultless. We enjoyed it so much we ordered crusty baguettes with more crab and salad for our supper for back at the hotel. One thing to say "Please can I have some more?"!

4 months agoWas looking forward to a crab salad, unfortunately they'd sold out of crab. However, they were more than happy to go off menu and turn what was listed as a sandwich into a lovely, delicious salad. Would definitely recommend them for going above and beyond!

3 months agoA lovely place for breakfast. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his 'best of both' baguette and my 'Hedgerow porridge' was delicious! AND reasonably priced. It's clean, has some stunning artwork on the walls and is very dog friendly too! Highly recommended!

3 weeks agoOld rock shop bistro and its sister deli West street deli are my favourite places to go in Cromer🥰 beautiful food, lovely staff and tasty drinks. Everything is so fresh, made with love and top ingredients. the staff are so accommodating and welcoming. Every time friends or family visit me I take them in the bistro and they love it just as much. Something for everyone and more than reasonably priced. Thank you for fulfilling my iced coffee and sweet treat/savoury cravings you lovely lot!! Top people, top place💝 also best lemon drizzle cake ever

8 months agoCame to this café as a watering hole on our 4hr round trip to buy seafood. On a blustery day it served us well.. Nice decor... service was great with 2 coffees and 1 cake and 1 sausage roll costing £13 . Very cosy with very comfortable seating throughout.
