Wells Crab House Seafood Restaurant

We had a beautiful lunch here. My husband loved the sea food platter and my plaice fillet was cooked to perfection. The side salad was absolutely beautiful with home style beetroot . The best wine list I have seen during our Norfolk holiday so far with almost all options available by glass as well as by bottle. Terrific service. They accommodated my rather restrictive dietary requirements (gluten and dairy free) offering alternative options like it was no trouble at all! They took my husband's nut allergy very seriously and made my 7-month old daughter feel very welcome. We will definitely be coming back next time!

Undoubtedly, the best place to eat in Wells. Booking here is a must. If you can't get a late booking, book one for 5.30, but you must be clear for approx 7pm. The food is wonderful, as are the staff. Prices are exceptionally fare, considering the quality of the meals and professionalism of the waiting staff. Make sure you eat here.

Such a great experience at Wells Crab House. A small seafood restaurant in Wells Next the Sea with fantastic food and great service.

We were drawn in to the restaurant for the seafood platters but the restaurant also has an incredible menu of other amazing dishes. We struggled to know what to pick! We went for the crab platter for 2 and added half a lobster. The platter had a huge array of delicious seafood including crab, crayfish, smoked trout, cockles and prawns.

There's also a fabulous drinks selection of local gins, cocktails and wines (including some delicious Norfolk wines).

The restaurant is modern with a quirky nautical theme. The service was fantastic. And we thought the prices were very reasonable for such high quality fish and seafood. Highly recommend!

This is a top quality seafood restaurant providing excellent food, attentive service and decent value for money.

I love an owner managed business because the passion for what they provide oozes out of every detail. The Crab house is run by a husband and wife team. Whilst the husband is contouring up some wonderful delights in the kitchen, his wife is building a friendly rapport with the customers.

I have eaten here a few times. And always enjoy the experience. The baked oysters are a must, and I also highly recommend the dressed crab. There are a number of staples on the menu (like the dressed crab for instance) but the menu is updated every month. Thats a good thing. You can go regularly and never get bored.

The wine list shouldn’t go unmentioned either. It’s a very wide selection and there should be something for any pallet. Importantly, ALL the wines (apart from the Champaign I think) can be ordered by the glass, or by the Carafe.

Our first trip to Wells & looked at getting lunch there, this restaurant stood out & we were lucky enough to get a table! The staff & atmosphere was incredible but the food…just wow. Absolutely delicious & above expectations. Would highly recommend

If you want the best seafood experience in North Norfolk, this is the place! We ordered oysters, whitebait, lobster salad and the crab 🦀 platter for 2 - every bit was delicious and the service took it to another level 😁 My dessert (espresso parfait) was the perfect ending to a perfect meal. Make sure you make your reservation if you're in Wells!

Superb fish and seafood along with the BEST customer service. This really is a wonderful restaurant and I've visited many times over the years, including on my birthday this year and also a few days ago. I've enjoyed bowls of garlicky French Bourride, crispy beer battered haddock, juicy prawns, sweet briny oysters and platters filled with an array of local seafood. It's a lovely place to eat in too balancing a friendly and relaxed atmosphere with pristine table settings. I recommend it endlessly to friends visiting the East Coast as I know it delivers every time. Thank you to the brilliant team at Wells Crab House, enjoy your Winter break and see you in the Spring!

It was an absolute treat for us to secure a reservation at this lovely restaurant whilst visiting Wells next the Sea, and we were not disappointed. We had a lovely evening with friends and would definitely recommend it.
The menu was varied and delicious with a nice relaxed atmosphere.

Had such a wonderful meal for my boyfriend's birthday! We ordered oysters to start then the Lobster platter, all the food was amazing and so fresh. All the staff were so kind and knowledgable. They even got a birthday card for my boyfriend and gave him a lemon squeezer that was obsessed with. They really went above and beyond, highly recommend! We will definitely be back! Thank you so much for a really memorable meal.

We went for lunch the food, staff and the decor was all lovely... We had a lobster platter it was so filling we didn't have room for dessert, but they looked delicious....We shall be visiting again.... Thank you for a lovely lunch... Xxx

We stayed in Wells next the sea , specifically to come to wells crab house and it was marvellous we were served quickly and efficiently and the food was awesome , we had so many laughs it really made the evening too, Thankyou so much for a wonderful time

A great little fish restaurant. Good menu (only if you like fish!) and and wine list. It’s not cheap, but it is very good and good value

The lemon sole, and my wife’s plaice fillets, were both excellent. Starters and deserts were just as good. Booking is essential, and we booked for a second visit during our week in Wells.

The food was cooked to perfection and full of great flavour. The staff were friendly and polite and attentive service. Booking early is recommended as they run on two service settings. This however is my only negative we felt a bit rushed as the table had to be turned around for the next sitting but I do understand why they do this .

The food was amazing we had the whitebait, prawns and the lobster sharing platter was all to die for! The staff were attentive, polite and very welcoming. The prices where more than fair for what food you received and how amazing it was!
The decor was very fitting with the restaurant and we genuinely had a great time! We visit wells every year and this is the first year we have remembered to book a table we will be back! Incredible

I had a fabulous birthday lunch yesterday. We enjoyed a beautiful seafood platter with chips & salad. The Crab house is beautifully decorated with a lovely atmosphere. Service was excellent- they even gave me a birthday card. Already looking forward to going again. Thank you Team
Crab House for making my birthday even more special.

amazing experience! from the start super friendly staff greeted us as we entered, got us a table without issue even though we hadn't booked and were a big family. atmosphere was nice, not too noisy, appropriate simple decor and lighting that went with the vibe. most importantly food was absolutely delicious, fresh and very generous in portion size, beautifully presented and creative in flavours. overall great attention to detail, where little makes a big difference!
thank you.

Brilliant experience. Definitely recommend a visit to this friendly, relaxed seafood restaurant!! Food outstanding, beautifully cooked and presented! Our family of 10, also with five young grandchildren were welcomed by Kelly and her team. We absolutely loved our meal made even better by the welcome and attention to detail and service which was first class!

Absolutely stunning experience. Everything was just fantastic from start to finish. The cocktails are heavenly. The food was well presented and tasted superb. We couldn't fault the place. Definitely need to book as it was fully booked on a Tuesday winter evening. The staff were great, and Kelly is so thoughtful and attentive. Highly recommended 👌

We had a lovely meal here. Our waitress was very attentive and helpful.
My sister has an unusual allergy, and as she'd booked online and informed them, they were completely up to speed on our arrival.
The chef even came out to discuss options with her that weren't even on the menu. And they were busy!
The food was delicious and there were some interesting wines on the list.
Finished off with an excellent coffee.

Our first time here today, for my birthday. It was absolutely amazing. Service was impeccable. Food absolutely delicious. Lovely environment, intimate, clean and tasteful. The owner was there to welcome us, the lovliest lady who had a birthday card ready for me. The young waiter was so good, discussing the food with us and asking us if we needed anything. I really cannot fault this place. We will most certainly be back. Great value for money, fresh fish, expertly cooked. Fabulous menu. Spot on, well done 👏
