I really like the new store as it has lots of room on three levels and lovely big tables with power near which are perfect to work. All the staff, esp Matt and Billy, are welcoming and jovial. They even allow for dogs which is always nice. I really love that they provide literal cauldrons of coffee which are bigger and cheaper than the other cafes and chains in town.

I’m not sure whether this is normal for Costa to do this but it’s never happened at any other one I’ve been to. I went in at 5 with full understanding that they were closing soon. Only to go up and order, the young man serving said they had already put all the machines onto wash so I wasn’t able to get any food nor any drink apart from bottled which shocked me as there was still an hour to go. I ended up going to Starbucks next door, where I got served my coffee about 15minutes before they closed at 5:30. So good on Starbucks.

My husband and I were in Costa this morning and the young man serving, called Matty was on his own due to staff members not being able to get to work on time. He had been on his own since opening and was coping amazingly as the store was really busy with customers. He was very professional, courteous and handling the situation so well...He is a huge asset to the Dereham store and deserves huge recognition for coping under huge pressure by himself. Well done Matty you are a star.🌟

Disappointingly this is supposed to be a Latte. It has no foam, and just tastes like a milk and coffee at below the standard expected of Costa. Please train your staff how to make the drinks we pay for. Thank you.

Went mid-afternoon, just for a drink. Hardly any customers, staff certainly not busy, but tables sticky and grubby, with dirty cups, waiting to be collected. Virtually all the chairs had crumbs and food stains. The whole place looked tired and grubby and in need of refurbishment. Really wish we hadn't bothered. Not a pleasant experience.

Giving 3 stars because the big guy who serves there is always funny and friendly. However, I sat at the back of the cafe near the toilets and staff room and the door was open and the staff room looked very grubby. There was a dishwasher that was filthy and the floor was dirty. The whole place should be spotless. The coffee was OK though. another thing I don’t like is every time I go there a parent seems to put their child on the sofa by the window where they sprawl out taking up 2 or 3 spaces.

I stood waiting then another family came in the woman wouldn't social distance in the que, each time I moved forward she came closer again so OMAR got right into my face telling me to stand exactly when he placed my and my family to the cm he required. I asked him to stop as anxious so he started shouting back hanging around to keep having a pop at me all this happened while the other families husband stood their WITHOUT A FACE COVERING!!!!!

My mother and I arrived for lunch on Saturday. Firstly we were shown to a dirty table, rings from cups and salt or possibly sugar. As my mother has a walker and had taken her coat off and sat down I didn’t ask to be moved but cleaned the table myself with antibacterial wipes I always carry. We ordered drinks and food which you have to pay for upfront so no opportunity to refuse to pay. The drinks arrived, one of which was a bottle of water but no glass. I asked for a glass which the waiter came back with. The glass was dirty. I waited until the food arrived and asked for a clean glass. No apology was given for bringing me a dirty one. My mother had loaded fries at £11. Well I could see the crispy onions, crispy because they were those dried ones you buy in tubs in the supermarket, but no sign of any cheese. I started to eat my bacon, Brie and red onion chutney panini. Well I had bacon. I looked inside for the Brie. There was a sort of stain which was obviously the Brie. I’ve never managed to cut a slice of Brie that thin myself, I suspect they could see through it when they lifted it up. As for the chutney, I found a few soggy bits of tasteless brown stuff. I noticed my mother poking her chips about and asked her what she was doing, she said ‘looking for the cheese’. I asked if she’d found any and she said ‘not really’. She pushed the bowl away and said her legs were cold. We had been sat in front of the entrance and the draft was awful. I asked her if she wanted to go and she was out of her chair faster than I’ve seen someone of 88 move in a long time. All in all a most unpleasant lunch. £11 for a bowl of chips and dried onion, and £10.50 for a bacon roll. Very poor indeed.

First and foremost the staff in the whole garden centre including the cafe were charming and helpful. The food we had was good. The service was good. Two gripes - there was no fresh fuit offering on the menu - just a pear, apple or banana would be have been good - or berries and yogurt? The other gripe was a dog in the dog friendly area (fairly close to us) incessantly barking. I do not agree with dogs in restaurants. How have we managed in the past? I have two much loved dogs but I do not feel the need to drag them everywhere with me. Perhaps an outdoor area under cover would suit everyone?

We had an event at the local Snetterton Race circuit and needed a local overnight stay for 4 of us. This was a late booking with a tight budget but on the web the place looked nice, charismatic and within budget. Booking was through booking.com and I immediately received plenty of information regarding the booking and confirmations etc. On arrival these notes proved spot on with regards to location, key collection etc. The room was very clean, functional and if a little dated, well equipped. I think the microwave, fridge etc was a bit of a covid hangover but nevertheless a welcome addition. TV was a little limited on channels but other than that fine. We did eat in the main restaurant and I thought it was pretty good. It was not high end fussy nonsense, just a generous helping of good food and in my opinion reasonably priced. Staff and service was excellent. Beds were comfortable, room was quiet, all in all ticked all the boxes. Thank you to the team at the Willows.
