Chalfonts Tea Rooms in South Norfolk

I'll be honest - I think 'Afternoon Tea' is an expensive marketing ploy designed to make you spend ££££ on tiny little savory and sweet 'samples'. This place is also about 1 hour drive away so I wasn't all that keen to sample the 'Autumn Afternoon Tea'. With that grumpy attitude I ordered a cup of coffee and waited to be proved right. In no time an elegant three-tier serving 'bird cage' turned up and all the items were explained to my wife and I. I sensed the waitress were very proud of the selection (for good reason). Turns out that every single item was both perfectly crafted and delicious. The portions were just enough. The coffee was great and I could have another one included in the price. Soft drink choice for my wife was also impressive and delicious. We didn't manage to eat everything - but that's ok as you can ask for some little boxes to take it home. The setting is delightful, the staff excellent, and the autumn afternoon tea was delicious and great value. I vow to be less grumpy in future. I even have a photo taken by the staff of my wife and I smiling. Turned out to be a very happy day.

We went today for lunch, food was amazing not a scrap left on ours plates, service was excellent will definitely be returning, fabulous gem of a place.

Food was good. Lovely cosy friendly atmosphere. Adams beer served and real ales. We weren't hurried. Sat after meal and chatted. Be nice in summer to sit outside. Lovely countryside pub.

Absolutely great find with super friendly staff and locals. Very dog friendly too which is always a bonus!

Lovely local pub, we popped in not realising the kitchen was closed, when we said we were after some chips the staff offered to turn the fryers on so we wouldn’t go hungry. Will be visiting again!
