About

Mary Jane's is a Cromer institution, often cited as one of the best spots for traditional fish and chips. Many diners love the fresh, flaky fish and crispy batter, and the service is usually fast and friendly. However, it is a very popular spot, which can sometimes lead to a rushed experience or inconsistent quality during peak times. While most have a great meal, a minority of reviewers have had issues with overcooked fish or service lapses, but it remains a top contender for a classic seaside meal.
