Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

So we had eaten at Cromer No 1 a few days earlier. On this day our plan was to eat fish and chips at Wells. But things changed so we decided to pick up a takeaway from here. Couldn’t fault it. Fish tasted a lot...better than Cromer No 1 and a fraction of the price. Not so sure about the negative reviews but I was more than happy.mMore

Worst service we have ever had. Not even asked if we wanted salt and vinegar on fish and chips and the sausage order was wrong! Fish then so badly stuck to paper it was hardly battered once out of the paper

So after the Cromer carnival day, we stopped as always each year for our tea. The meal itself was lovely. However, talk about the greed of the owners and lack of care for outside guests! So 200 heinz tomato sauces sachets from local supplier cost...£18.00 Roughton selling for 70p a portion! £122 variance? We sat eating our tea at tables provided by the business, vaping!! Table next to us billowing their smell all over us snd more importantly the children,so much we move tables. To be honest, after this visit,it may be next time a option to stay and queue in Cromer!More

We were down this neck of the woods and thought we would try out this place, I was so disappointed half my chips were scraps and the fish over cooked and because of this it was very dry, was so looking forward to my fish...and chips by the coast I ended up ditching them! I think being a coastal place you would expect really good fish and chips a big let down.More

Have been getting cod & chips from here for many years, always good. But today husband came back with 2 cod, large chips and curry sauce, fish size has decreased but price increased to £21.80!! This is eye watering and so it ceases to be...an occasional treat for us. Sorry but won't be visiting again.More

Used to come here every few weeks on the way to North Norfolk years ago, and the fish and chips were the best around. Remembering this I made a detour to get lunch here. I ended up with the tiniest piece of 'medium cod' I've...ever seen. It was just a square, about 1/3 of the size you would get in the fish and chip shops around the coast, and more expensive! Chewy batter on the fish, but chips were ok. On the plus side the shop looked very clean inside.More

Ordered large haddock and chips and normal sized haddock and chips to takeaway. Order was prompt and hot and everything was okay until my husband found a quite big bone, and then went on to find another five, which somewhat spoilt what had been until...then a good fish and chip supper.More
