Eric’s Fish & Chips
Norfolk, Thornham - Seafood - Restaurant and Takeaway
Opened by Eric Snaith (of Titchwell Manor), this posh chip shop attracts tourists and affluent families from nearby Burnham Market in their droves. There’s a hatch for those wanting a takeaway; otherwise, sit inside (tiled walls, stools, basic easy-wipe tables) or grab one of the outdoor benches. Either way, you’re here for fish dipped in local batter and fried to perfection in beef dripping, with thick-cut chips and mushy peas on the side. Black-pudding fritters, crispy chilli cod, vegan ‘prawns’ and halloumi fries add some intriguing variety to the menu, while Eric’s now-famous deep-fried jam sandwich is always a temptation. Wines and local bottled beers earn bonus points, as does the children’s play area. There’s a branch in Holt.
