🍽️ Exploring Norfolk’s food scene
One of the perks of staying at Sandy Beach Holiday Park is how easy it is to get out and enjoy Norfolk’s brilliant pubs, cafés and restaurants. A short drive opens up some real gems - perfect for lazy lunches, special dinners or a treat after a day exploring.
Here are a few favourites worth the trip:
🥘 The Gunton Arms, Thorpe Market
A Norfolk classic - open fire cooking, locally sourced dishes, incredible art work and a setting in the middle of a deer park that feels more than a little magical.
🦀 Rocky Bottoms, West Runton
A bright, modern seafood spot right on the cliff top, owned by a local fishing family it serves fresh crab, lobster, seafood platters and daily specials.
🍷 Fino, Cromer
A stylish little spot serving modern small plates with big flavours - perfect for a relaxed evening and a glass of something good after a day by the coast.
🍴 The Recruiting Sergeant, Horstead (near Coltishall)
Hearty, well-cooked pub food in a warm and friendly setting.
🍹 The Nelson Head, Horsey
