Easy access with the lift. Our 1st visit was a tea and cake . Sit on the terrace take time out look put to the sea. If it's windy sit indoors and look out the windows. We returned with our nephew and his family of 4 . Service was good and food was value for money

Lovely cafe a mere 5 mins walk from the pier. Located above the lifeboat museum. Cracking location with outdoor seating offering amazing views of the beach and the pier. Indoor seating still has wonderful views. Great selection of meals, cakes and drinks. Staff really friendly and helpful.

A lovely place for a seaside meal, snack or coffee and cake. Our 2nd visit. Lovely friendly staff. My crab salad was the best I've had during my holiday in Cromer (I've tried 3 other places!!) My hubby had a handmade beefburger which was cooked to perfection. Highly recommended.

What a lovely place to stop for a coffee and treat or lunch. The team at the Rocket House are very friend, the food is good quality and the view is excellent. My coffee was Mocha and my cheese scone was delicious. My husband loved his warm sausage roll and Latte. It set us up perfectly for or walk to Sheringham!

This place is a great find in cromer!! Very well presented huge portions of food. We ordered fish and chips, hog roast burger, chicken burger and a few soft drinks. Everyone loved their food, but we personally could do with a little bit more seasoning, and it would be bang on!!! The staffs were very welcoming and location was gorgeous xx

We love the Rocket cafe, its position overlooking the sea and the pier is just so good. We only had coffee but it was good, the service friendly and fast, great decor and a lift for my elderly mother in law. Thank you

Great location with amazing outside views of the sea and pier but a tad pricey. Service is excellent but £14.50 for a burger on a seaside cafe is too much (5 October 2023). Expensive as London prices.

Went there twice whilst on holiday in Cromer. Had lunch and breakfast. Both times the food was delicious, well presented with good sized portions. My sons shared the adult fish and chips, my eldest said it was the best fish and chips he’s ever had! It had a lovely panko crumb. I had the big salad bowl (v) for lunch which was fresh and tasty in a huge bowl! For breakfast my husband had the big brekkie and I had the vegan brekkie which were super tasty.
The views from the window and balcony are spectacular, you can watch the sea roll in whilst eating. The decor is bright and lively with plenty to look at. There are stairs or a lift to the cafe level. Toilets on the ground floor and an accessible toilet on the same level as the cafe. Find a table and order at the till. Staff were friendly and helpful. Can’t fault it both times we went.My partner and children decided to treat me to dinner at The Rocket House Cafe in Cromer Norfolk for Mother's day. The chicken burger I had was the best one I've ever eaten, the chicken was cooked to perfection. The colslaw was tasty and the chips were lovely. Excellent service and so friendly and such an amazing view of the sea. Cannot wait to go again soon.
