Welcome to the Cliff Hotel in Gorleston-On Sea, a hotel and restaurant with unrivalled views of the Norfolk and Suffolk coast.

The Cliff Hotel dates back to 1890 when the original hotel was opened, in 1915 the building was ravaged by fire and demolished. The old staff accommodation was renovated into a new hotel, the building that we currently occupy today.

We have a vast selection of dining options from our relaxed art-deco inspired MUSE restaurant, our vibrant bar dining area or one of the biggest outside dining terraces in Norfolk.

Wherever you decide to eat our menus will give you a huge variety of choice from fresh fish to steaks and grills. Alternatively we have lighter snacks and a range of classic dishes to delight all tastes.

Why not join us for a traditional Sunday roast or a quintessentially British afternoon tea?

Our food is prepared in our kitchens to ensure the best quality and taste reaches your table.

We look forward to welcoming you.

I believe we had the manager serving us eventually who was amazing, prior to that the staff were a bit slow or unsure. The cocktails were great, but the food was a bit poor. I had cold eggs on my eggs Benedict, my friends chicken didn’t look fully cooked, and my other friend had horrible looking pale sausages and undercooked bacon on her dirty fries.

Myself and two friends enjoyed our lunch (treat to ourselves) today. We each had a main followed by a delicious dessert. Well cooked food and good service. One of my friends is Wheat, Soy and Dairy intollerant but after checking with the Chef, the waitress was able to order what was requested. Many thanks Kathy, Norfolk Returning guest

The Bar at the Cliff has had another refurbishment and looks amazing, gorgeous gold & teal colours. As always, the view is spectacular though it did take me a while to convince my fellow diners that we were looking across at Great Yarmouth Port! Having reserved a table we were seated immediately and our orders taken promptly, efficiently and politely. The food was great (only negative was a little heavy handedness with the salt on a couple of the dishes). Generous portions, piping hot and, as for the puddings, seriously yummy. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Very impressed- thank you.

I've had breakfast, lunch and just a coffee several times at The Cliff. Service and food has always been good, though, if busy you may have a wait of around 20 to 30 minutes. Staff are always courteous and helpful. Kathy, Norfolk
