I've eaten on a few special occasions at Tatlers over many years and have always enjoyed the experience. This was why I chose Tatlers to take my family to for my 70th birthday celebration meal. Once again it didn't disappoint. Belinda was friendly and welcoming on our arrival. The food was exquisite and beautifully presented. Portion sizes generous for a fine dining restaurant, important as I do have some 'healthy' eaters amongst my family! Food is fresh and locally sourced. All very delicious. Nice that Femi popped our of the kitchen to thank us for visiting them. I definitely recommend Tatlers.

Our waitress Poy was very attentive and nothing was too much trouble, I think a child’s menu would be advantageous. This was our grandsons 18th birthday and he was very pleased to enjoy his first legal drink with you all, and I believe the owner, whose name I didn’t know paid for his first pint, top bloke! So all in all a lovely pub and lovely experience, my wife and I will definitely be revisiting. Well done to all the team.

Cromer

About the restaurant

Rocky Bottoms started out as an 1800s brick kiln with a purpose to fire bricks. Eventually the brick kiln was unable to compete with larger competitors and closed down after WW2. Since this time the brick kiln has offered itself as agricultural storage until it collapsed and stood derelict.

In 2008 the brick kiln’s potential and need of restoration was spotted by local fishing family; The Matthews. After years of love and attention, Rocky Bottoms, as we know it today was born. Our doors opened in May 2015, just in time for the start of the crab season. We deliver local shellfish from pot to plate in a laid back environment. Rocky Bottoms believes in enjoying the simpler things in life!

We had haddock and chips. It was large and really delicious. There was a two minute wait for our table and we ordered drinks at the bar. The staff were attentive and friendly. Overall a great experience. They don't have much in the way of vegan food on the menu.
