Our visit to Shelley’s Pie & Mash shop was nothing less than delightful. It's clear to see why it’s already been rated the #6 best restaurant in Cromer, Norfolk, on TripAdvisor since its launch in March 2015.

It’s a coastal town restaurant with a Soho vibe – the interior has been decked out with warm blue base tones, lashings of rustic wood, vibrant flowers and quirky industrial lighting creating an inviting atmosphere. Alongside a straightforward, well-executed menu of comfort food, including a range of gluten-free options you actually want to eat, it’s not hard to see why this seaside startup is thriving.

On the ball

Owner Shelley Dickinson has full control of the day-to-day running of the business and is completely in tune with her team and her customers, resulting in a friendly, cosy vibe. Shelley has plans for "world domination" – or at the very least expanding her business but realized earlier this year that she needed extra funding to maximize the potential of the restaurant to achieve her plans.

Funding Options referred Shelley to Fleximize when she needed a small cash boost for local marketing. Just a few weeks after receiving a business loan in July, she launched a radio and print advertising campaign in the run up to Cromer Carnival. The marketing took up 60% of the funding, and the rest went to aid cash flow and pay for restaurant fixtures.
