  • Breakers Cafe - Cromer

    4 2 reviews

    28 Garden Street, Cromer, Norfolk NR27 9HN

    Breakers Cafe

    1pxt mirrorpool last updated on 19-11-2008:

    This is a great value for money cafe that tends to get very busy in the height of the summer season. All food and drinks are freshly made and behind the main dining area there is a small outdoor courtyard which has tables with parasols and tends to be a lovely space to dine on a sunny day.
    The menu covers a wide range of reasonably priced meals, from all day breakfasts and burgers, to a full dinner, snacks, jacket potatoes and sandwiches.
    Occasionally, I’ve wished my food would arrive a bit quicker, but this has to be balanced against the fact that everything is freshly cooked.
    In summer, everywhere to eat in Cromer, tends to get very busy at lunch time and Breakers is no different so try to avoid the busiest times if you can.

  • Rocket House Cafe - Cromer

    4 4 reviews

    The Gangway, Cromer, Norfolk NR27 9ET

    Rocket House Cafe

    1pxt mirrorpool last updated on 18-11-2008:

    The Rocket House Cafe is situated above the Henry Blogg Museum on the seafront. It comprises a large dining hall with some outdoor dining space all of which overlook the sea and sand.
    At first glance you might be forgiven to think it’s like a work’s canteen, but as you enter and go to choose your table and location you become aware of the range of seating possibilities, do you just want to relax with a latte on the sofas, or sit outside on the balcony, or inside with a sea view, or dine with a view of paintings and artwork from local artists?
    Tables are kept clean and have always had a small floral table decorations on them. In the summer evenings, tables are adorned with candlelight creating a warm cosiness for enjoying the restaurant menu.
    All staff are polite, friendly, and smartly dressed. Orders are brought to the table and menus include locally sourced goods such as seafood and crab, the speciality of the area.
    Some of the prices may be a little above the usual for the town, but it’s a lovely comfortable and interesting environment in which to pop into for a coffee or have a meal, so I would reccommend it as everyone I’ve taken there, have enjoyed their food and thought the service was good.
    The building houses the lift from prommenade to street level and toilets so the Rocket Cafe is fully accessible for wheelchair users.

  • Ye Olde Red Lion Hotel - Cromer

    3 2 reviews

    Brook Street, Cromer, Norfolk NR27 9HD

    Ye Olde Red Lion Hotel

    1pxt mirrorpool last updated on 24-06-2008: (updated on 18-11-2008)

    As a Cromer resident, this is actually my favourite place to go for a drink or meet friends. I like the character, cosiness and 'laid back’ atmosphere and always manage to get a seat. There is a variety of seating options including some more private areas and staff are friendly and attentive.
    I’m not impressed with the food giving value for money, and the quality seems to be inconsistent but there is a reasonable range of choice.
    The decor needs some attention with paint peeling from the stained glass divisions, woodwork and ceilings and tends to make me wonder whether it’s because of wanting to retain original features, and William Morris wall coverings that it appears so neglected 'yellowed’.
    The women’s toilets are always clean and functional and provide quality extras, my only complaint is the height of the mirrors, I’m 5’2” and can only see my face if I stand on tip-toes.

    I should mention here that I have never stayed in the actual hotel, so my comments are about using the bar.

    Ye Olde Red Lion Hotel also has a banquetting hall and when it’s laid out for a function it looks truely amazing and very 'olde worlde’

    I’ve just given this venue an extra star,( it should be 4 stars now) as recently there seems to be an improvement in the consistency of quality of food. I’ve taken a few more people to eat and drink there and they have all liked it and would return.

  • Car boot sale - Cromer

    5 1 review

    Cricket ground at Mill Road, Cromer, Norfolk NR27 0

    Car boot sale

    1pxt mirrorpool last updated on 23-08-2008:

    Love to rummage, collect, sell or buy? This is a great boot sale to go to and has a real cross section of goods, some regulars but many 'one offs’.
    This week we were treated to a wonderful 'one off’ seller of oriental goods and I came away with a gorgeous old metal incense burner and a set of ink blocks with the Chinese horoscope symbols on them. My friend bought a snuff bottle and beautifully carved wooden figures. You can find many healthy plants and home grown produce for sale as well as tools, collectables, antiques, furniture items, charity stalls and all the usual bric-a-brac you would expect to see from people having a good old home clearance.
    The site has toilets, parking, and refreshments.
