Bridge Stores in Broadland

We was had just handed the boat back across the river and the four of us thought we would go over the bridge to get some breakfast We sat inside waiting to be served then after about 15 mins a member of staff came over to ask us what we would like we asked first for two teas and two coffee’s which we we’re then told they had no milk to make them so we decided to drive into Great Yarmouth and get some breakfast there as we wanted drinks with the breakfast

had a lovely bite to eat and a coffee here, both young ladies were very helpful and always a smile for everybody

We chanced upon this cafe and found a little gem - great service and great produce. In particular the crab sandwich. I would challenge anybody to find a better crab sandwich anywhere! Plumply filled with beautiful crab meat and accompanied by salad garnish. A highlight of the holiday!

Arrived to have breakfast. Very nice, good serving of food. Was made very welcome.8 of us turned up, so made them work for their money. NOTHING seemed to faze them. Well worth the visit. A big THANK YOU.

Genial para ver este lugar abierto nuevamente de forma regular. Esto siempre solía ser una de las características de los broads. Solo tomamos bebidas y pasteles y estaban deliciosos. Tantos para tentarlo y todo fresco. Asientos adentro o afuera al lado del río.

We visited for a couple of essentials whilst we were moored up. Can recommend the cakes - very good!

The Bridge stores is a very convenient little shop. Plenty of mooring places and a great place for a drink and some supplies.

Been past many times over the last year and it was always closed so were happy that it was open this time.The place is much better than last time we visited years ago,much cleaner and neater.The lady told us they had only been open a few months.Only had Latte this time but liked the look of the breakfast menu so will be back soon to try it

Lovely riverside café right next to Acle Bridge. Ideal for watching the boats from inside or outside seating whilst enjoying yummy breakfasts and delicious cakes. Also pet friendly with a separate inside seating area for pets & owners

Stopped overnight at Acle. went in here for a cuppa and cake. was very relaxing sitting outside while enjoying it.

Having known the shop since the 1980s we popped in for a lunchtime snack to see how it was after reopening and was impressed with the renovation, the quality of food and the staff, wish them every success for the future.

Acle Bridge café and shop closed some while ago. Site purchased by Broads Authority who propose to build a massively expensive Visitor Centre. Still, it's not their money they are wasting - it's ours!! And who on earth decided this was a great place to put such a thing!! The odd car going in or out of the old café entrance was one thing but the expected number of visitors to the Visitor Centre make it an accident(s) waiting to happen! Traffic leaving Acle cross Acle Bridge, very often at speed since the road is only subject to national speed limit at this point. The bridge has a high 'hump' with zero vision of the other side. The exit/entrance is just at the bottom of the bridge on the other side so invisible to traffic!! The entrance is a right turn across the traffic, which makes it worse! Good luck with that!! I, for one, will not be risking a visit!

Extraordinary little shop in the middle of what seems like nowhere. It sells just about anything you need for your boat trip and so much more. A real little find.

A small cafe and souvenir shop and really pretty place to enjoy a coffee/cup of tea. Boats stop to pick up supplies and seating is outside near the river where you can feed ducks and swans. Reasonably priced refreshments and happy and polite staff.

Stopped at this little place many times over the last twenty years for provisions and also for a tea or cappuccino,liked the lady that ran it,she was always so friendly, l would like to wish her a pleasant retirement. I am going to miss this place .

Closed - notice saying local authority considering what to do with the site. Been going there for years when boating - sadly closed down - was a great little store

we visited this shop looking for some provisions for our holiday while it is very handy for mooring the choice was a little limited

After a wonderful afternoon at the Acle Bridge I took my friend for his dessert here. He adores ice cream so made room for it. I had a hot chocolate and he had a rather large vanilla and chocolate icecream. I did try it and it was lovely - creamy but light. The place is in a gorgeous setting and the staff were a delight.

There is mooring to the left of the store, on the opposite side and by the acle bridge pub just a few yards down, so it is an ideal location. There are a few tables outside so you can grab a coffee/tea/ice cream and enjoy the surroundings. The store was actually very reasonable and was by far the cheapest i found on the broads so stock up here on essentials. Pleasant shop on the broads just could do with more seating and a tidy up outside.

A friendly couple run this pretty shop and cafe. A lovely place to have a coffee watching the boats.

An interesting place we only bought some things and had coffee some very interesting stock and the people very friendly

Lovely staff and great food nothing is too much trouble Anything you need can be sorted by these brilliant people

Don’t expect anything special; it is very basic to say the least. I would have thought if they ditched the cheap novelty shop and made it into a proper café it would be more financially rewarding.

The old gift shop that wasn't very inspiring has turned into a lovely restaurant. Take way & eat in. Lovely looking cakes. We've had the soup, fish & chips, steak suet pudd & broccoli bake during our visits. All were very filling and good food. The staff are welcoming and make sure that you have all that you need. It gets very busy which is a credit to its good food. Visit if you are going to Potter Heigham.

this place is a nice old establishment, full of suprises, a bit like arkwrights, they sell all sorts of stuff and the staff are good and helpful,and make nice tea and coffee, mooring is cheap at £5 and you are only 100 yds from a great pub, i noticed it is for sale i hope the new purchasers don't spoil it !

Moored up here overnight whilst on a boating holiday. The shop is quite small but sells all the essential items, bread, milk sugar etc & gifts. Very handy if your on a boating holiday as you can moor up near the shop & pop in to buy a few bits and pieces. The lady who runs the shop is also very friendly and welcoming.

Lovely meal and atmosphere, lovely setting by the river. A good time was had by all. Will definitely return to such a friendly place.

Lovely convenient store with plenty of free morring outside

We often go and have a coffee/hot chocolate here, lovely friendly place to sit by the river in the sunshine. Cakes and biscuits are available too, and I can vouch that their hot chocolate is gluten free, plus gluten free cakes are usually available

On a day out and noticed this coffee shop when we were driving over the bridge. Great coffee, lovely views and a very pleasant owner - all made the stop worthwhile. If you are on The Broads it is worth a stop, there is a shop full of basic supplies. If time, stop for a coffee which is served with the most delightful sugar sticks :-)

It's all tins and gifts frozen foods and pies that dident look tasty . All we bought was our milk .with the amount of boats moored up you would think they would sell more fresh food . We walked into acle it only took us 20mins .there is a co op and a lovely butchers.

Right on the riverside the Bridge Store was a typical convenience store with some tourist gifts as well.

Great little shop with a large range of products and good prices. A very handy place to stop if you're on a boat or camping nearby.

We didn't eat in here, but they are the sort of place that's 'open all hours'- well, almost.

Lovely cup of tea and homemade cakes by the river. Good place to stock up on bits and pieces if you are on a boat. Look out for the cute dog in the kennel, very friendly

We moored her for a coffee break. It has the basic groceries available. It a nice place to sit and watch the boats go by. You can moor here for £5 a night and there is a pub nearby.

visited this store 3 times staff very friendly and helpful, they have a good choice of produce, they also serve coffee. Pleasant to sit out side with a coffee watching the boats go by.

had a good day out sitting near the river feeding the ducks and swans and there babys you can buy food to feed them 50 p the duck are very tame the lady who runs the place is a very lovley lady very friendly and kind we stayed there all day its so carme peacefull I loved it wished I lived there I will be going back again please go there you will really love it xx

Sells bits of everything. Especially loved the small cabin shops at the rear, grabbed some bargains. The art gallery studio , wonderful ideas , including a cafe all 50 yards from your boat.

We've been here a few times. The location is amazing if it's nice to sit out - right on the river by Acle bridge. I could sit there all day and watch the boats go past - as it's right by the bridge it can be entertaining watching boats turning/reversing/etc.

Very differant, lovely location on the waters edge, the only food they serve are snacks and tea's coffee with a few ice creams, they do sell nic knac's and a few other items

Duck Food to ice creams it is the answer to all the things you should have packed for the boating holiday but didn't

What better place to sit, have a coffee and watch the boats go past and if you’re feeling generous feed the ducks. The drinks are purchased from inside the gift shop. Plenty of tat to choose from, but the service for drinks and snacks is friendly. Want a peaceful half an hour, then this is your place.

Eat here rather than in the pub. Better value and much better service. Friendly welcome too. Even pointed out ways to save us money Recommended

nice quiet place to moor and the food is good to the staff are friendly to. we had a look around the shop and well stocked for boats and for foot walkers to a good time we had and our little dog .

Sells pretty much anything you're likely to need, public loos nearby, friendly helpful staff. Recommended.

.....just the ticket at the end of a sailing afternoon, as the sun shines onto the outside patio area enjoy an ice cream, cup of tea & a cake or chocolate bar....there is loads in the little store too....wonderfully friendly staff....

This is a lovely little stores with teas, coffees, hot chocolates etc. Also sells some lovely hot food, but only during the schools summer hols. At other times they still have hot sausages and mini pizza. I have visited both via boat and by car and sampled breakfasts on the boat in early September (huge bacon baps were wonderful!) We had a lovely lunch when we visited in the car, sausage and chips, baked potatoes etc, very nice and filling and at a very good price! At other times we have just enjoyed a hot drink sitting right beside the river with the ducks, swans, and other waterfowl! Lovely owners, very friendly and eager to please. We will regularly visit as it is a lovely place for me and my mum, both wheelchair users, to get close to the rivers without causing problems for our able bodied companions!

A quirky little general store by the bridge at Acle with moorings. Ideal for the papers and some emergency provisions. Lovely people who run it.

Tea rooms did use some great take away breakfast sandwiches. the shop sells most things you might need on your boating holiday.
