The Beach Hut — Restaurant in Great Yarmouth

During our last day trip to Norfolk, we stumbled upon this amazing little place, and I can honestly say it was the highlight of our visit to East Anglia. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a delicious meal. We arrived around noon with our adorable pooch, and the staff made us feel right at home.

For lunch, I ordered the blue cheese burger, while my partner went for the BLT. Both meals were fantastic—full of flavor and cooked to perfection. Before we left, I noticed the clam chowder being advertised, and after reading some glowing reviews, I decided to buy the last portion to take back to London.

The next day, I heated it up in a pot, added a sprinkle of chili flakes, and it turned into the best thing I’ve ever eaten. Truly, this place delivered an unforgettable dining experience, and I can't recommend it enough for anyone visiting Great Yarmouth. We visited during the off-season, and despite that, the place was packed—testament to how popular it is! The location offers stunning views overlooking the beach, which seemed to be calling our name. It’s also dog-friendly, so our pooch was welcome to join us, and there was plenty of parking available. I have really high standards, and my top three favorite things from the trip were Trimmingham Beach, the Courtyard the award-winning pasta place, and the...

Superb seafront cafe! Recommended.

Staying nearby on a Tuesday afternoon in July 2022, and spotted clam chowder on chalkboard outside, so popped in with wife for lunch. We sat outside, right in front of the cafe. Plenty of other seating out front and at side - all with view of beach and sand dunes, and there's transparent acrylic screens providing shelter from the ever present wind. Indoor seating also available. Cute little dog running around, presumably the owners because it was wearing a red Do Not Feed Me bib! So, it's dog friendly.

So chowder for two, £7/portion. For me it was creamily superb and filling, with loads of seafood, plenty of potato and two bits of toasted bread - perfectly seasoned and vfm. However, wife thought it was too creamy and too salty so I got half of hers as well!

The Beach Hut happily took payment by Android pay via my phone, so guess any contactless will work there.

Easy five stars. Thank you!

NB. Cakes looked lovely but I was full. Also licensed for alcohol, and cocktails for £8.50 sounded great....

We visited The Beach Hut for brunch on a windy, overcast day in October and it was lovely sitting outside looking about to the sea. We both had veggie breakfasts with drinks and the staff made up a small plate of hash brown and beans for our son. The cost came to approx £22 which we felt was great value. Loads of halloumi and avocado, well cooked eggs, tomatoes and delicious hash brown. The coffee and tea was nice and they serve soya milk. Friendly service and a varied menu, I think they have an alcohol licence as well. If you get there early enough you might be able to nab the free parking spots at the side of the cafe and it's a 10 minute walk down to the...
