Agree with the last comment - and they seem to have the ambition to being a spartan london-esque gastropub, and have lost some of its charm in the process of ripping out the booths/compartments. They wish to charge London prices, but really the service didn't merit it - it took half an hour to take my order despite going to the bar, and being assured they'd be there momentarily - twice. Aggravated by a couple arriving 15 minutes after me, and having their order taken within a few minutes. Again, when I attracted the waiters attention, told my waiter would be along momentarily.

That said, the bream I had was excellent, but will probably try somewhere else on my next visit. Ale selection was reasonable, but the choice of whiskeys or bourbons risible.

Excellent food & drink served efficiently by attractive young staff at Xmas time. But what have they done to the place?
The discrete panelled booths in the bar have gone: the intimate dining compartments have vanished and any opportunity of lounging on a comfy banquette has been withdrawn.
Oh lordy, the puritans have arrived!

Wonderful old brick built hotel with commanding views of the sea, its enjoying a new lease of life having been refurbished to 4 star standards. That said, however, they have left the beautiful old maghogany bar, open fires and interior of the bar well alone. 6 handpumps dispense local brews and a few from further afield, Roosters liquorice stout on the occasion of my visit last week. Good bar food too.

Probably the best pub in Cromer, nicely done out and has good views. Food not that great and it can get very hot in the summer
