Seafare - North Norfolk

It's such a shame that this restaurant used to be good a few years ago. Unfortunately, it has really gone downhill, especially with our disappointing fish sauce. Our hungry stomachs were left unsatisfied.

This restaurant had a line of people waiting, but all fish and chip shops in Sheringham close at 8 o'clock, so I believe that was the reason for the wait, not the quality of the food. My fish was very crispy, but the chips were dark and not crispy.

I initially thought the restaurant wasn't busy because it was located a bit further away from the bustling city, but that wasn't the case. The service was painfully slow. They were wearing masks, but still accepted cash, which didn't make sense to me. There was no proper sanitization between transactions. It would have been more efficient to use handheld contactless card machines, which are affordable and easy to use. The chips and fish cakes I eventually received were dry and burnt. Thankfully, there was a large trash bin right outside where I could quickly dispose of them.

The only fish and chip shop that is open tonight....as always I would go without next time. the chips were in order and the cadjau ok just a bit on the fat side. but the cod I got for the children were disgusting and in the ground. potatoes and bread crumbs mixed with the smallest piece of fish....as very cheap mini table cake. kabeljau at others are in the really beautiful pieces of boneless cod in the teig.

Every other fish and chip shop in Sheringham was packed with ques down the streets. Seafare was the only one which we could walk straight into. We now know why now. The order was taken and cooked freshly. The staff were loud and seemed to...have a not very interested attitude. When we unwrapped our fish and chips about two minutes later we were really disappointed. Traditionally wrapped in paper but this only works if the batter is crisp, ours wasn't so the paper tore the batter off the fish and stuck to the paper. It was soggy and very greasy. One Haddock was cooked really well apart from the missing batter, the other was so full of bones that it was impossible to eat. You expect the odd bone but this was like nothing either of us have ever come across. The Chips were nothing short of discussing. Greasy, floppy, over cooked but no crispness, brown, just horrible. Overall, couldn't careless staff, absolutely rubbish food. We dumped it in the first bin we could find. Seafare, at the seaside, fish and chips, British tradition, not ever going back. You either care in business or you don't, you last or you don't. How difficult is it to cook Haddock and chips twice. Obviously out of their capabilities. Don't go. que with the others who know. If you are the owner and were working, shame on you, if it was your staff representing you, you have to take note, they are letting you down very badly.
