Undoubtedly, the best place to eat in Wells. Booking here is a must. If you can't get a late booking, book one for 5.30, but you must be clear for approx 7pm. The food is wonderful, as are the staff. Prices are exceptionally fare, considering the quality of the meals and professionalism of the waiting staff. Make sure you eat here.
We had a beautiful lunch here. My husband loved the sea food platter and my plaice fillet was cooked to perfection. The side salad was absolutely beautiful with home style beetroot . The best wine list I have seen during our Norfolk holiday so far with almost all options available by glass as well as by bottle. Terrific service. They accommodated my rather restrictive dietary requirements (gluten and dairy free) offering alternative options like it was no trouble at all! They took my husband's nut allergy very seriously and made my 7-month old daughter feel very welcome. We will definitely be coming back next time!
Our first trip to Wells & looked at getting lunch there, this restaurant stood out & we were lucky enough to get a table! The staff & atmosphere was incredible but the food…just wow. Absolutely delicious & above expectations. Would highly recommend
Such a great experience at Wells Crab House. A small seafood restaurant in Wells Next the Sea with fantastic food and great service.
We were drawn in to the restaurant for the seafood platters but the restaurant also has an incredible menu of other amazing dishes. We struggled to know what to pick! We went for the crab platter for 2 and added half a lobster. The platter had a huge array of delicious seafood including crab, crayfish, smoked trout, cockles and prawns.
There's also a fabulous drinks selection of local gins, cocktails and wines (including some delicious Norfolk wines).
The restaurant is modern with a quirky nautical theme. The service was fantastic. And we thought the prices were very reasonable for such high quality fish and seafood. Highly recommend!
This is a top quality seafood restaurant providing excellent food, attentive service and decent value for money.
I love an owner managed business because the passion for what they provide oozes out of every detail. The Crab house is run by a husband and wife team. Whilst the husband is contouring up some wonderful delights in the kitchen, his wife is building a friendly rapport with the customers.
I have eaten here a few times. And always enjoy the experience. The baked oysters are a must, and I also highly recommend the dressed crab. There are a number of staples on the menu (like the dressed crab for instance) but the menu is updated every month. Thats a good thing. You can go regularly and never get bored.
The wine list shouldn’t go unmentioned either. It’s a very wide selection and there should be something for any pallet. Importantly, ALL the wines (apart from the Champaign I think) can be ordered by the glass, or by the Carafe.
Had such a wonderful meal for my boyfriend's birthday! We ordered oysters to start then the Lobster platter, all the food was amazing and so fresh. All the staff were so kind and knowledgable. They even got a birthday card for my boyfriend and gave him a lemon squeezer that was obsessed with. They really went above and beyond, highly recommend! We will definitely be back! Thank you so much for a really memorable meal.
Superb fish and seafood along with the BEST customer service. This really is a wonderful restaurant and I've visited many times over the years, including on my birthday this year and also a few days ago. I've enjoyed bowls of garlicky French Bourride, crispy beer battered haddock, juicy prawns, sweet briny oysters and platters filled with an array of local seafood. It's a lovely place to eat in too balancing a friendly and relaxed atmosphere with pristine table settings. I recommend it endlessly to friends visiting the East Coast as I know it delivers every time. Thank you to the brilliant team at Wells Crab House, enjoy your Winter break and see you in the Spring!
If you want the best seafood experience in North Norfolk, this is the place! We ordered oysters, whitebait, lobster salad and the crab 🦀 platter for 2 - every bit was delicious and the service took it to another level 😁 My dessert (espresso parfait) was the perfect ending to a perfect meal. Make sure you make your reservation if you're in Wells!
It was an absolute treat for us to secure a reservation at this lovely restaurant whilst visiting Wells next the Sea, and we were not disappointed. We had a lovely evening with friends and would definitely recommend it.
The menu was varied and delicious with a nice relaxed atmosphere.
We ate there as a party of six. Food was excellent, service was efficient and friendly. The wine very good too. It's a busy, buzzy place. Our reservation allowed us a two hour time slot at the table. We finished our mains with about 25 minutes to spare. Pudding and coffee afterwards would have been a bit too tight to enjoy. Perhaps we will skip starters next time.
