I cant believe you didn't stay for the meal Jan!
The woman at Cookies tends to be rather abrupt, but dont let her put you off. The guy there is fabulous and the food is worth it! And as for prices... Its the cheapest and best seafood I have ever tasted and I have travelled to hundreds of countries and tried fresh seafood in many coastal towns. Cookies will always be top for me!
Do yourself a favour and go back and be more open minded. Remember that they are not officially a restaurant and thats why you are able to take your own wine or beer. Take a bottle, or maybe you might need two :) and just chill out there with the papers. Book a seat but if its gone, be impressed with the fact that the demand for it is so high and that so many people want to be there.
If you dont go back though, more chance for us who do like it to get a place on the busy times ;)

Cookies Crab Shop
We went to Cookies Crab shop for my mum's birthday treat, we had not been before but had heard it had great seafood [this website being one of the main places I looked at before going!]. As advised we rang up a head and ordered the dishes we wanted to avoid disappointment. When we got there two of the three meals we had ordered were wrong, we politely pointed this out to the older woman waitress who was very rude and offensive and said as she had placed the plates on the table we were now stuck with it and she as good as told my mum she was a liar when she stated what she had ordered - I don't think I have ever been served by such a utterly rude and disagreeable person in my life and they really should work on their customer relations at Cookies - or sack her! We very nearly left but decided to make the best of it as we had so been looking forward to it.
BUT the seafood was super and very good value, the only thing I could fault with the food was the use of supermarket type pre-sliced bread which seemed a shame, some slices of a local bakers bread would have so much more befitted the standard of the fish.

Never heard so much drivel in some time, The staff in 'Cookies' are VERY polite and welcoming..still..at least you wont go going there again so there is one positive about your comment.
IS THIS THE SAME PLACE ????
AMAZING PLACE!
Cookies
I am writing from New Zealand and I have just had a call from someone we took to Cookies whilst we were in UK who wanted their number to take some of their friends. This restaraunt is now Internationally known !! It is a fabulous place to go if you like the best seafood,the helpings are big and the staff,when we were there were young people from Eastern Europe (we think) who were very friendly and helpful. It is a place we will definitely make for next time we come back to Norfolk. Rita
