Mary Jane's Fish Bar

What a disappointment! The chips were hard and consisted mainly of small over fried slithers. The fish had very little batter on it and as a consequence was over cooked. This shop is clearly trading on its former reputation and its prime location. In short it is a disgrace to Cromer. We won't be eating there again.

HMM... I have just re-read both the comments on here knocking Mary Janes. I noticed that both J. Ketch and Norman Hall both use the word 'surly' in their comments , which is NOT a common word and both reviews were posted within 11 days of each other in March. Hardly the tourist season !! Me smells an envious rat !! Keep up the great work Mary Janes !!!

I really feel I have to reply to J. Ketch's comments on Mary Janes. First .. HOW does he/she know that the quality of the chips etc is, as he/she puts it, bitter and the staff are "surly" .....when he/she states that ONLY the tourists eat there and he is a local ???? He/she also states that hygiene is 'pretty poor'. For saying that locals never go there he/she seems to know a lot about the place !!! I tend to agree with James Broadbents comments that he smells of being a rival restaurant owner, twiddling his thumbs while the queue at Mary Janes grows. I have been going to Mary Janes for near on 5 years now and can HONESTLY say I have NEVER had better fish & chips... EVER !!! YES.. it has got more expensive but so has everything else and the best is also worth paying that bit extra for. I would advise anyone to add themselves to the thousands if not millions of satisfied Mary Janes customers since 1977, you will NOT be disappointed.

The best fish and chips in the whole of Norfolk, the freshest well cooked fish I have ever had.

My mother lives in Cromer and we visit her most weekends. The highlight of our trip, especially for the kids, is a visit to Mary Janes. We have been going there for about 7 years and can honestly say that they have the best fish and chips this side of Blackpool. I think who ever wrote the bad review can only be another local restaurant owner with envious eyes. The only problem with Mary Janes is the queue for takeaway or waiting for a seat in the restaurant...I think this speaks volumes for the quality and public opinion.
