This “excellent fish venue with locally sourced produce” is owned by Galton Blackiston, chef-patron of Norfolk’s grand Morston Hall, and operates both as a seaside chippie for eat-in or takeaway and as a bookable restaurant upstairs, with views of the pier and fancier dishes such as king prawn Goan curry with roti and coconut rice. Sauces and ice creams are all produced in-house.

“Stunning fish ’n’ chips”, with a “great variety of fresh fish and gorgeously light batter”, make this “excellently located” chippie from Galston Blackiston of Morston Hall fame “well worth the queue” – although you can sidestep that issue by making a “reservation in the upstairs restaurant, with sea views from its commanding hill-top position”. “‘Normal for Norfolk’ does not apply here, it’s far better than that!”.

“Excellent” fish ’n’ chips downstairs and a wider range of seafood (and other) dishes along with “great views” upstairs, from Galton Blackiston of Norfolk’s famous Morston Hall. “Whenever we go to Norfolk we always make a point of going to No1 – it’s well worth the drive!”.

* Based on a three course dinner, half a bottle of wine, coffee, cover charge, service and VAT.

“A delish menu of seafood (and other dishes) in the upstairs restaurant” is matched by “excellent fish ’n’ chips downstairs” at this “terrific” outfit “owned by Galton Blackiston of Morston Hall fame”. “Upstairs is really inventive, with tapas-style small plates as well as conventional main courses”. There are “great views” and “nothing is too much trouble”.

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).
