Quick info
About The Bucket List
The Bucket List is a takeout restaurant on Hamilton Road in Cromer, built around loaded fries served in buckets with a range of topping and sauce combinations. The kitchen keeps the menu focused on chips dressed with various toppings rather than spreading across a wider fast-food range, and portions are loaded generously rather than measured. Sweet chilli paired with aioli is a commonly ordered combination, and a rotating selection of specials runs alongside the core list. Orders are placed at the counter on a walk-in basis, and the kitchen also caters late-night food and covers events such as weddings. Guests can ask to drop items such as the mozzarella cheese wedge from a dish for a reduced price.

Customer Review Summary
Loaded fries in a bucket are the main draw, and reviewers praise the generous sauce and toppings that keep the chips from going dry halfway down, along with fresh, crispy chips. Cheesy chips and the sweet chilli and aioli combination get specific mentions, and one reviewer notes a regular selection of specials. Another says the price was reduced without prompting when the mozzarella wedge was left off a bucket. A wedding couple who hired the Bucket List for late night food describe friendly, accommodating staff and good communication. Criticism centres on value and portions. One reviewer paid a tenner for a tiny bowl of chips, called the smoky cheese chips disgusting and the sweet chilli sauce just sweet. Another says they were overcharged against the menu outside, needed a calculator to settle the sum, and was told the manager set the price. That reviewer also reports a cigarette butt found in a partner's food. A separate first-time visitor found parsley garnish unlisted on the menu and described the servers as rude. A reviewer with the opposite view found too many chips per bucket and suggested medium and large sizes.

“Fabulous place in Cromer. Sweet chilli and and aoili is my go to. They often have a great selection of specials”

“We hired the Bucket List for late night food for our wedding. We had so many options for our guests, the staff were SO friendly and accommodating, communication was really good and we had absolutely no issues throughout the whole process. You can rest assured they'd be a great addition to your event. Absolutely do not want to plan another wedding, but if I did, I'd certainly have the Bucket List again”

“Overcharged for food according to the menu outside. I argued the price and the maths which they needed a calculator for and was told the manager set the price and that was that. My partner found a cigarette butt in her food ( honestly ) but the moral of the story is don't argue as it will get you nowhere and you may get unwanted extras”

“These are the BEST loaded fries you can get! I have had these several times over the years with various toppings and they never disappoint. Why these loaded fries stand out way more than others is because they are not skimpy with the sauce! They are plentiful with the sauce and toppings meaning that you don't get halfway down the bucket and all you have is dry fries. There is nothing worse in my opinion than having loaded fries and barely any sauce, even though this seems a common occurrence in most businesses, and I don't even know why because it's not like sauce costs a lot. These fries are always fresh and crispy, and the flavours on the top are very tasty. They are also very kind in reducing the price for me when I didn't have the mozzarella cheese wedge on one of the buckets as I don't like cheese. I didn't ask for the price to be reduced as I didn't think anywhere would do this, so when they did this without any prompting I was pleasantly surprised and appreciated it very much, that is what I call excellent customer service! I love Bucket List.”

“They charge you 10£ for tiny bowl of chips with some sauce. Chips with smoky cheese was disgusting, sweet chilli sauce was just sweet sauce. If that would be i fiver, then would not be posting bad feedback, but for this price.... Probably they do better food from shop than from events wagon”
