The staff are extremely hardworking and the food was exceptional so it would be great to come again! They were extremely friendly in general but particularly with kids and dogs. Extremely good quality ingredients, sausages and bacon with high pork content and not added water.

£3.50 for a coffee which comes out of a machine is a disgrace, one of the worst coffees I have ever had. Pasties weren’t good either. Service was good and it is a nice spot by the river but would not recommend this place at all

A brilliant find that is exceptional value for money! A fantastic place to moor up for water and a pit-stop, with HUMONGOUS portions that are delicious (both drinks and the homemade pastries/cakes)! You can sit outside and watch other boaters navigate the bridge and currents, or sit inside. A bonus is that this café has a little shop inside - if you’re running low on the essentials like milk or water, this is a lifesaver compared to a humid 30 min walk to the nearest grocery shop! PS - We didn't try the hot food like some other reviews.

Shame they were short-staffed when I went. But a cosy place on the river, very quaint inside

We popped in here for breakfast.It was freezing cold,yes it was a miserable day but all they had was one blow heater.We ordered the breakfast which was way overpriced.The plates were cold along with the food,we should have sent it back but couldn't wait to get out of there,apart from the waitress they were to busy discussing their holidays with another couple, ignoring the other customers,shame as it sits by the river and could be a little gem.

Very overpriced compared to other cafes nearby. The biggest issue I have is the total incompetence of the chef. Please don’t come here if you have plans for the rest of the day - it took over an hour to get a bacon roll! I kid you not. I believe they are only able to cook using a small candle given the time it takes. Absolute joke. I ordered breakfast but TBH it’s more likely to be lunch after all the time I have been waiting!

Mixed review here. I can’t lie, when I was confronted with the “owner”, I wanted to leave immediately. He made me feel so uncomfortable and walked around as if he was better than everyone. If my mother hadn’t of already paid for our breakfast, I would have left and gone to McDonalds. Of which, I would of had better service… Anyway, I can’t say the same for the staff, because they were lovely and really helpful. We had to wait quite a while for our breakfast, which they did warn us about. So, I wasn’t too bothered. Then a young chap, then gave us complimentary drinks while we were waiting. Which was obviously very nice. I think considering the older man made me feel that uncomfortable, that I had to go outside to sort myself out, maybe he would be better off letting the staff take care of it all… Oh, and you need to serve your full English breakfast with beans. And maybe swap the fresh tomatoes for plum tomatoes? Or at least give customers a choice. Also, my fried egg wasn’t cooked. Again, perhaps give customers a choice of different eggs such as; scrambled, poached or fried. And the place is full of Karen’s that need to mind their own business. And the old man needs to stay at home

A lovely cafe on the river. Great food and amazing cakes, massive sausage rolls. Worth a visit, London prices though.

My recent trip to Dunes was a total disaster, as the owner's attitude ruined everything. This review is meant to share my negative experience with the owner of Dunes, who owns both Dunes Acle and Waxham. When my dog needed to go in the outdoor parking area, I responsibly cleaned up after him. I asked a staff member where to toss it, and they pointed me to a bin, which I double-checked with them. Even though it looked like a regular restaurant bin, they assured me it was fine. But then, out of nowhere, the owner Mrs Shiggins, stormed in all rude. She demanded I take the bag out of the bin, completely ignoring what their own staff member said. I tried explaining, but she wouldn't listen. She insisted I take the bag out of the bin. Later, I found out the staff member falsely claimed I kept asking where to put it, which was untrue, I only asked once and sough clarity! I used to visit Dunes at least once a month. However, given the owner's behaviour, I can no longer endorse Dunes in Waxham or Acle. If you're searching for a cafe that values treating customers with respect and fairness, I suggest exploring other options to avoid encountering similar unpleasant experiences.

An excellent cafe with beautiful homemade food. The baguettes are to die for, proper bread. An excellent array of fantastic homemade cakes (try the bread pudding) and large (and I mean large) cups of tea. Really friendly staff all situated next to the river. I will return

Stopped here for brunch as part of a lovely riverside walk. Had a delicious "full monte" sandwich (bacon, egg and sausage on a mini baguette) for just £5 and a nice cup of tea. Service was as quick and good as could be expected in the busy tourist season. My only negative would be the rubbish on the floor but I wouldn't dream of knocking a star off for that in the current situation. We're lucky to have people serving let alone cleaning up debris dropped from tables by tourists. Would definitely recommend for both quality and value.

Food is great, but the prices are outrageous. Also, who serves an English breakfast without beans? Either serve a full English or adjust your prices.

Only just opened but disappointing so far. Good location by the river but poor choice, mainly breakfast rolls and some cakes, no vegetarian options. The Dunes cafe at Winterton has good choice, interesting meals and vegetarian options, so it might improve but why start like this? Strange decisions.

Old review I know but: How could someone not vote 5 stars for the only pub doing karaoke during the queens funeral 😂 it may have flaws due to being the cheapest pub but I respect it alot Most lively pub I've ever been to
