The Cockerel
The Cockerel Restaurant.
6 North Street, North Walsham, Norfolk, NR28 9DH.
Tel: 01692 403743.
The Cockerel Restaurant in North Walsham is a delightful place to indulge in great value homemade food served with a warm and friendly welcome.
The Cockerel occupies a site with a rich and interesting history. Dating back to 1765, the on-site garage once housed the North Walsham, Newsham fire engine. From 1830 it was known as ‘The Cock Inn’ public house, which closed its doors in 1966. The building was converted into a tearoom at the end of the 1970s, retaining many original pub features, including the bar. In 2007, Mark and Claire Rushen took ownership of The Cockerel and it has gone from strength to strength since. Now, alongside the restaurant is a lovely deli stocking all manner of delicious local produce.
The Cockerel still has the feel of a traditional tearoom, with wooden shelving and furniture, and paintings of rural scenes from days gone by.
Food is freshly prepared, from locally sourced ingredients wherever possible (when in season, seafood such as Moules Mariner & Chips and Saltfish Fritas features heavily). As well as hearty ‘main meals’ (including breakfast), The Cockerel does a mean line in homemade cakes and scones.
The Cockerel can cater for those with special dietary requirements and provides gluten free and diabetic-friendly foods.
The Cockerel is family friendly, with high chairs, booster seats and baby changing available, as well as an Under 12s children’s menu and colouring books and toys to keep the little ones entertained. Marvellous.
The Cockerel hosts frequent special themed evenings and events and also offers outside catering with its ‘Flying Cockerel’ service. Please visit the Cockerel website for further information.

East Runton Fish and Chip Shop
East Runton Fish and Chip Shop.
Beach Road, East Runton, Cromer, Norfolk, NR27 9PA.
Tel: 07538 564753 (Orders).
Follow the A149 coast road out of Cromer and you’ll pass East Runton Fish & Chip Shop. Obviously, this would be a terrible shame, given that these are some of the best fish’n’chips you’ll find in North Norfolk.
At East Runton Fish & Chip Shop you’ll find all the usual favourites – cod, haddock, plaice, rock, scampi, sausages, pies and burgers. This is a traditional seaside chippy – no pretensions or bells and whistles, just high quality, honest fish & chips done very well and delivered with an obvious passion.
There are a few subtle nuances that distinguish this chip shop from similar establishments. For example, owner Will Watson makes his own homemade Tartare Sauce, and every fish is served with a slice of fresh lemon. Lovely.
East Runton Fish & Chip Shop is a Registered Member of the National Federation of Fish Friers as well as holding a 5* (Excellent) rating for Food Hygiene.
An essential ingredient for any holiday on the Norfolk coast, or simply a great end to a day out at the beach, this is one North Norfolk chip shop that is well worth seeking out.
Opening Times
Mon – Thurs 12.30pm-2pm & 5pm-8pm

Tel: 01485 532122.
Featured in The Good Hotel Guide 2011, The Neptune Restaurant with Rooms at Old Hunstanton is charming on so many levels that it would be a shame to miss out on such a treasure.
The site of ‘The Rifleman’ in the 1780’s when it was used as a store for seized contraband, it has been known as The Neptune since the 19th century. Now under the careful ownership of Kevin and Jacki Mangoelles, the Inn and Restaurant has been transformed to evoke images of the New England coast.
With nautical themes throughout, brown mellow tones and white clapboard walls, The Neptune could easily be fragranced by either home-baked apple pie or salty sea air. The Lloyd Loom sofas and chairs add to the relaxed ambience of the bar, lounge and restaurant.
True to its origin as a coaching inn, The Neptune offers elegant accommodation in 6 fabulous en-suite bedrooms, all furnished with the clean lines of white, hand made New England furniture.

Situated in picturesque gardens on the edge of West and North Norfolk, Heacham Manor is a recently restored 16th Century country house that offers modern luxury in a rural idyll.

Head Chef Neil Rutland (formerly of the much-celebrated Hoste Arms in Burnham Market) is a champion of keeping dishes fresh and simple to create a pure ‘dining experience’ and makes a point of using local produce throughout his menus. Suppliers to Heacham Manor include Arthur Howell butchers in Wells-next-the-Sea, while seafood hails from King’s Lynn and Thornham (or sometimes local fishermen), fruit and veg from Coldham Fruit and ice cream from Norfolk Farmhouse Ice Creams of Dereham. Superb.
