My mate is going this weekend with some friends and has booked a big AirBnB. He asked if I knew much about the place being from "the same County". After calming down I said I would ask around and let him know.
So, any recommendations on pubs, restaurants and things to do would be most welcome. |  |

I love Cromer. It’s very civilised nice and I enjoy it every time.
It is also the last place I would go for a lads weekend (if indeed that’s what this is. It’s full of old people and very dull. I am a very boring person hence why I like it so much.
I suppose the best local place to eat is the cafe that overlooks the pier. The pub that overlooks it is alright too. Decent fish and chips at the posh place at the end of the promenade. If he likes steam trains he can go to Sheringham. Marston Hall for a slap up meal. |  |

"Make sure you don't catch crabs" is the advice my old dad used to give to me when I was going to Cromer. |  |

It's all about Fish and Chips on the pier. No.1 is best, it also has a cafe at Ground level and a posher restaurant on the First Floor. If they are too busy then Mary Jane's have been consistently good for years.
I really like The Red Lion for food and drink.
Day trip to Wroxham and hire a boat on the Broads would be my top tip. |  | | |

Oh and the tide goes out a pretty long way, giving space for tennis ball beach cricket or football.
Whisper it quietly, but for a lads holiday Norwich might have been a better bet. Loads of great pubs. That would make a good day out, and back by train. | | | |

I don't even let them buy me a drink unless they have at least 50% of their own teeth and a good private pension | | | |

I went on a stag on the broads once, it was actually immense |  | | |

Those were the days when the rough world were not allowed past the level crossing, especially fish and chip lovers. | | | |

Yes, the level crossing was more like Checkpoint Charlie. | | | |

Parlour or Winstone?
If the former, I hope he takes a few bottles of SPF50 with him! | | | |

Last time I was there with someone we had a mosey along the front, ate fresh crab and shrimps and hot fresh ringed donuts from the various huts dotted along there.
A mess about in the sea and fish and chips in the evening followed a bit later by a few glasses of wine and one happy day all round.
Just a pleasant place to be when the Sun is shining. |  |

Last time I was in Cromer, I left with a stick of hallucinatory-coloured rock, a blow-up Buzz Lightyear and a book on the sex positions of the Karma Sutra acted out by root vegetables. |  |

if you're an ale drinker the Red Lion in Cromer is not to be missed |  | | |

Since you are from the same county, recommend him everywhere you can think of in and around Ipswich and say it isn't far.
The north Norfolk coast has a few nice places. Seal watching (Blakeney I think) is recommended. |  |

Wells by the sea worth venturing out to.
Cromer is ok as a typical uk seaside resort, some good walking if your into that.
The seals at Hinckley are pretty impressive but not a great deal else to do round there. |  |

I’m with you on this. I love Cromer and always have. As a kid we used to go a lot and after a many decade break I took the misses there a few years ago (as an old bloke!). Still like it. Sheringham is nice too. |  | | |

The best bit of advice you can probably give is ‘next time try Southwold or Walberswick’ | |

There is a cost implication. | |
