Whitewater — Restaurant in North Norfolk

Nice cafe location just down from Cromer pier.

Inside and outside seating, fortunately it wasn't busy and got a bench outside. The table had the last customers plates on, this was cleared within a few minutes of sitting down.

Good food selection focused on seafood and I went for the Seafood Platter to sharer and coffee.

Coffee arrived first in takeaway cups, it was hot and was a good cuppa.

Within 15mins the platter arrived and it looked brilliant, with the array of items accompanied with lemon & lime, two doorsteps of lightly toasted bread, then a tartar, rose marie & chilli sauce in pots.

The selection of seafood was good & fresh tasting, the Cromer crab was really good, big prawns (to de-shell) meaty & tender, smoked salmon was tender and nicely flavoured. The selection of breaded and fried goods were ok - I could take or leave the mango chilli prawns, the calamari was a nice soft bite and not rubbery, and the panko prawns were good - though overall maybe a bit too much fried food. The one item that wasn't great was the mussels (they say eat mussels in months with an 'R') they were rubber chewy and not a great flavour.

Overall really good platter, great value for £30 (coffee was £3 each), with the majority of it tasting lovely and a few tweaks would make it excellent.

Very overpriced breakfasts and small positions. The restaurant does not offer a children’s breakfast and was charged full adult price. ( this becomes expensive when you have 3 children- so would not recommend for any larger families ) 1 piece of small toast and egg was £7.00. I ordered beans on 2 toast was given half a piece of toast with handful of beans which was £6.00. Ordered fresh orange juice and it come in a bottle. The cutlery on the table was not clean was actually disgusting. My husband ordered large breakfast which was £14.00 which come smaller than most small breakfasts in other restaurants in the Yarmouth area. The service was non- exist. The total bill for x3 children’s small piece of toast with egg, half a piece of toast and beans and full breakfast ( small) 1 bottle of water, 2 kids drinks, 2 orange juice was £51.00. We had the same at Great Yarmouth front and was £25.00 a lot nicer too! As the kids said it was disgusting. The service is none exist! Would not even given a 1. The water sealing next to table and floor need a good clean the amount of money they charge surely they can...

Used to breakfast here twice a week with previous owners . Beautiful location so we thought we’d give it a try after it’s refurbishment. We were very disappointed with our breakfast .first visit bacon snapped in half , sausages left an after taste and egg over cooked , white toast - no other option offered ( I didn’t want beans or mushrooms ) price of meal was adjusted accordingly. Thought it may have been teething problems so went back a couple of weeks later ……. Sausage was so hard I couldn’t cut it , bacon was over cooked and egg was cold - when I asked for brown toast I was told “sorry we don’t do brown bread “ 🤷🏻‍♀️I was offered gluten free bread which was like eating polystyrene . I didn’t want the mushrooms or baked beans and asked if I could just have one sausage and one piece of bacon and egg . This time I was charged the full price . Background music very loud . Such a shame as setting perfect for that early morning breakfast . Won’t...
