A restaurant on the north Norfolk coast has had a surge in bookings thanks to a TV appearance and winning two national awards.
The team at the Wells Crab House is celebrating this week after being named the overall Best Seafood Establishment and Restaurant of the Year at The Food Awards England 2023.
The ceremony took place on October 9 in Birmingham and it was a great night for Norfolk as Shelly's Bistro in Swaffham also won the overall best café/bistro award.
Wells Crab House was opened by couple Kelly and Scott Dougal in 2016 and it has proved popular with locals and holidaymakers alike.

The seafood restaurant also recently appeared on episode two of the new Channel 5 series Norfolk and Suffolk: Country and Coast, narrated by the actor Bill Nighy.
Mrs Dougal said: "We were already busy, but the Channel 5 programme has super excelled bookings.
"Our emails and social media accounts have also been inundated with messages of congratulations about the awards.
"It is so lovely to read the beautiful things they are saying about our restaurant and, most importantly, our team."
Wells Crab House is also taking part in Norfolk Restaurant Week 2023 - see menus and availability at norfolkrestaurantweek.co.uk
