A Taste of Norfolk

In our Cromer restaurant and dining room we are proud to offer ‘A Taste of Norfolk’, with local farm produce in both our breakfast and dining menus. Start the day with our award winning hearty breakfast of either fresh whole kippers smoked locally in Cromer, a full English with sausage and bacon from a farm less than 5 miles away, or for a lighter option try our delicious breakfast pancakes.
