About

Cookies is a legendary spot for fresh seafood, and for many, it's the highlight of a Norfolk trip. The crab and lobster salads are the real deal—fresh, generous, and great value. It's a rustic, no-frills experience that feels like a proper local secret. Just remember: it's cash only, no toilets on-site, and you really should book ahead if you want a table.
