What would a trip to Norfolk be without some Cromer crab?
You can pick up a dressed crab sandwich and salad at the Crab Pot Café in the seaside town’s Hamilton Road.
It’s usually £6.50 - but is now half price as the café has signed up to the scheme.
3. Fish and chips
Also in Cromer No1 is a firm favourite of tourists and locals alike.
The business is headed up by Michelin-star chef Galton Blackiston, and the team’s fish and chips are a staple of any Norfolk foodies day out.
Cod and chips is usually £12.90, but that will now be half the price Monday to Wednesday.
4. Lobster
A little further down the coast you’ll be able to enjoy lobster caught by Norfolk fishermen and served in a nearby eatery.
The Wells Crab House sells lobsters caught by Billy Ward, who sells his catches across the Norfolk coastline.
Mr Ward and his boat Predator have been catching lobsters off the Norfolk coast for more than a decade.
Usually the dish – complete with garlic butter – costs £20 a head. Under the maximum £10 discount this will be reduced to half price.
5. Brancaster oysters
The White Horse at Brancaster Staithe is renowned for its offering – which includes oysetrs Brancaster-grown oysters in shallot vinegar and lemon.
The Marside Bar in the Main Road sells oysters caught by Richard Loose who has been farming oysters since the 1970s.
The process of growing the oysters can take between two and two and a half years.
Usually they cost £6 for two.
