Afternoon Tea at The Grove

We’ve visited The Grove on many occasions but felt this was probably the best meal we’ve had here. All the courses were beautifully cooked and presented and the service attentive but not overbearing.

Tries hard but food not quite there. Great menu, but just doesn’t quite deliver. Shame it won’t take much and it’s a fantastic venue. Paid extra for cheeseboard and all the cheeses were tasteless. Muscles in garlic sauce lovely and juicy but more tasted if they were just in cream. Just needs some tweaks.

After several visits to The Sundown, for dinner and for some of their fabulous events, I can definitely say it's one of my absolute favourite places to eat, drink and socialise. The twinkly atmosphere is cosy and intimate, the staff are friendly and helpful and the food is really tasty with good quality ingredients and generous portions. It's a great place to meet with friends, or to go with family, with a lawn directly outside for kids to burn off energy. Just love it, and highly recommend! View menu

SUNDOWN Their Sundown restaurant is always the best time! We went in the evening and it was so lovely. It felt so cosy on a summer evening. The food was delicious and came out quickly. I had a pizza and a few tapas options as well. I Couldn’t get enough! Service was 10/10. Everyone was so welcoming and it was lovely how they would come and check everything was okay. Overall, I had a wonderful time with my family and it is my favourite place to eat in Cromer. I can't wait to go back! Absolutely recommended for all:

Visited this evening, no draught beers, only bottles. Ordered 4 tapas dishes, £9 for sharing pork belly but only one piece given. Tasted nice but Seriously over priced. Also ordered hand cut chips, what arrived were clearly frozen chips. When we queried, waitress told us that potatoes hadn’t been delivered today. Interesting to read M Lutz of Norwich’s review from a month ago with the same issue. Sundown .. do you provide hand cut chips as advertised on your menu or frozen?? We will return and try again as we liked the tipi and staff were pleasant.

Having learned about Sundown at The Grove, we couldn’t miss the opportunity to dine in a giant tepee on a bright evening. We did pre-book and were shown to a table away from the kitchen. Orders are made through a smart device (get those QR scanners ready), but the waiting staff were kind enough to let us order in a more traditional manner if required. We navigated the online menu in any case, and the food speedily arrived. The pizzas were good and fairly priced, and we were surprised by the generous portion sizes of the £6 tapas. I’d highly recommend the Moroccan chicken flatbread (from the specials)! Our friends regularly travel to Norfolk, and they’ve already bookmarked a meal at The Grove... View menu

What a lovely atmosphere to sit and have a pleasant afternoon tea in tranquil settings. The host and service was second to none and nothing was an issue regarding where you would like to sit. My wife and I enjoyed a nice chilled glass of Prosecco with an abundance of finger sandwiches with a variety of savoury cheese straws, sausage rolls, cakes and scones. Not forgetting the cream and jam. This accompanied tea and coffee in a china cup that was replenished throughout our afternoon tea. We started chatting to other couples in the room which made it a really nice and relaxed experience. We will definitely go again and if your are in Cromer or near Cromer I would suggest a visit. You won’t reg...

Lovely concept , poorly and executed. Seriously over priced Tapas, poor quality, and many items mis advertised. Example. Chicken satay skewer. £9 for a sharing portion. Reality &1 skewer with 3 small pieces of chicken. Direct from the freezer Handcut chips£4. small portion frozen aunt Bessie home chips. It goes on. And the whole process of having to order everything via Qa codes. Not every get it . All items have to be paid in advance . Staff not particular friendly. And a dodgy DJ will th gold trainers not doing a lot . No change to music after he left so it begs the question,what's the point . The concept in a teepe tent is excellent, but everything else is lost in translation. I would sug...

We had pre booked afternoon tea via online booking. On arrival it was very hard to find a parking space as other guests had parked irresponsibly. On arrival we were asked if we could like a table inside or outside, it was such a lovely day we opted for outside. We were offered a choice of 3 tables but was advised not to choose one of them as it had bird poo on it!!!! Where hadn't this been cleaned. We chose a table in a corner of the outside courtyard. this was wiped clean before serving our afternoon tea. When the afternoon tea arrived we weren't given a presentation as to what was on offer as one usually gets when out for afternoon tea at various other venues. Apart from one smoked salmon... View menu
