“ First time dining out in Cromer, had the salmon special with black orzo and it was amazing. My friend who I dined with had the pork belly which I tried and it was the best I've ever had. Service from Agata was fantastic, thank you so much ”
“ Nice pub with good food. Popped in for lunch, was seated straight away and given a quite expensive menu with not your average pub food on. It was delicious, however I probably would have chosen off the much cheaper and simpler lunch menu had I been made aware of it before I ordered! Spent around £80 for 2 courses for 2 people, one alcoholic drink and 1 soft drink. ”
“ Managed to get a table, despite not having booked. I'm glad we did as the restaurant has been beautifully done and the food was lovely ”
“ Fantastic dining experience, lovely view of the pier. The staff went above and beyond to make a birthday celebration special. The food was excellent, the tacos were so succulent and juicy! ”
“ I asked in a local community group prior to my visit to Cromer asking for local recommendations on various eateries, including ‘best Sunday lunch’. Several locals recommended The Red Lion. So after my Irish photography pop-up in Cromer today I went to grab myself a celebratory dinner. As you enter there is a large pub to the right and the restaurant is to the left when you are seated by a member of staff. There is a lovely view from where I was sat in the front but of the restaurant and the decor was great with many framed photographs lining the walls. A photographer is always going to appreciate that I ordered the ‘All 3 meats’ Sunday roast that should have included beef, pork and lamb but as they had run out of pork they gave me extra of pork and beef. The food arrived in what I can describe as ‘a mountain of food’ topped with a Yorkshire pudding. I cannot fault the food. The meat was well cooked (I ordered rare) as were the veggies and potatoes. The cauliflower cheese was delicious. The gravy also very good. I also ordered a strawberry cider from tap which was beautiful but as I was riding the bike back I had to stick to one. The only negatives for me were the knife provided simply wasn’t up to the job of getting through some of the sinew on the beef. And the price. Whilst the food truly was lovely, £21 is a bit steep based on my travels around the UK. I don’t regret my choice to eat there, as I obviously knew the price before I ordered and the food was delicious but it’s a bit steep for my budget to make my regular Sunday lunch venue. There are cheaper options, I think the 3 in 1 was the most expensive. If memory serves the pork was the cheapest at £18 or £19. Having said that, I couldn’t book a table until after 4pm so they were very clearly busy and based on the recommendations highly regarded in the town. The pub side was very busy and full when I arrived around 4:30pm. The restaurant side was pretty empty but 4:30 isn’t really a peak time for a meal. I certainly would have indulged in a few more ciders had I not needed to ride the bike. The ciders I saw were all around £5 a pint. Not sure of other options and prices. ”
“ Came back second time as we enjoyed it so much the first visit. Friendly staff & nice atmosphere. Busy spot but managed to get a table both evenings as we got here early. Lots of outdoor seating plus restaurant to book too. Had the tuna nicoise twice as it was so good. Husband had the pork ribeye & fish pie & rated both excellent. ”
“ 5 stars all round. Great pub with a good selection of beers and wines. Dining room has a cool atmosphere plus sea views. Food was top class as we're the staff. Plenty of seating outside. Highly recommended a visit ”
“ What a really great evening. We had a pint first, from their huge selection of hand-pulled beers, then were shown to a cozy table. All the staff were so friendly and welcoming and the pace of service was efficient but not rushed. Such tasty food, well-presented and good portions. A very special place, highly recommended. ”
