Norfolk
Rocket House delivers an airy interior and widescreen sea views, thanks to a balcony that almost overhangs the waves. Light dishes include ploughman's with Norfolk Dapple and Binham Blue cheese, locally smoked mackerel salad, and their renowned Cromer crab platter.
Half-priced portions are often available for kids. They're also open for evening meals on the first Saturday of every month (6pm to 9pm); it's best to book.
