SEAFOOD RESTAURANT
WELLS NEXT THE SEA

A Husband & Wife Team now ‘living the dream’ of owning their own restaurant in Wells-next-the-Sea, the beautifully quaint and picturesque fishing town regarded as one of the UK coastline’s finest treasures.
A small, intimate and informal Restaurant with an ethos to create a friendly, relaxed and welcoming dining experience centred around beautifully prepared local and seasonal seafood dishes using the finest of local produce.
For the talented Kitchen brigade using local is a top priority and they are proud to supply crabs and mussels from Andy Frary on his Andorra Star 2 boat, Lobsters from Billy Ward on his Malfreen Boat and oysters from Richard Loose from Brancaster.
