Cafe Smile in Great Yarmouth

We ate at the mash and barrel on Friday 28/3/25 when we arrived at the holiday park. The food and service did not disappoint at all. We ordered the Mixed grill (the steak was cooked a medium to perfection), full rack of ribs and chicken basket. Everything was delicious, fresh and well presented. We were even tempted to order the sharing dessert platter, which was really tasty and the brownies were hot too, yummy! We asked the server to please pass on our compliments to the chefs as people are too quick to complain but never give praise where praise is due. We were so thrilled at the food and service that we went for breakfast on sat 29/3/25 before we headed out for the day. This again did not disappoint. Very reasonable, fresh, hot and tasty. We had 2 full breakfasts and the pancakes with bacon and syrup. We also need to mention that all the staff were polite and helpful but especially Bruno who went above and beyond on our Friday visit to the restaurant. Thank you so much.

Nice, no frills garden centre. Friendly staff.Card payments only.

When on holiday at Winterton on Sea we always come here for breakfast or lunch at least once in the week. When we come at Christmas always order a seafood platter for Christmas Day tea. Food is always very good as is the service from the very friendly waitresses. The cheesecakes are always exceptionally good !

Unacceptable. Had a booking for between Christmas and New Year (booked for months) and cancelled on us with 5 days notice. Good luck to us finding somewhere else last minute this time of year!!

Lovely place, caters for all, even the 4 paws customer. Friendly staff and drinks flowed lovely. Only discrepancy was the food! The lasagna contented was very mushy and no flavour. The pies were so bland. Other than that good atmosphere. We will be returning to Norfolk next year and give the “Fisherman’s Return” the benefit of the doubt!
