We visited The East Hills Bakery & Cafe on high recommendations. However, we were disappointed. We picked our treats and ordered them. My husband picked a jam and cream finger doughnut. He was so looking forward to it, only to find the cream was synthetic. The display of treats was good and one would not have thought the cream wasn't fresh. I chose toffee tiffin, which was OK. The tea arrived and I was extremely excited to find lose tea. It was bordering on cold. They obviously hadn't warmed the pot. We left greatly disappointed.

We had a short stay in Lingwood and visited here twice. The food was very good and the tea comes with a pot with tealeaves which made a great brew. Good prices . very clean and friendly staff. Nice area to walk with the dog and very relaxing. Worth visiting.

The location, the cafe itself and the food are all excellent (and the coffee is great!!), and the staff that run the place are all so helpful and friendly. It's our favourite place to go locally for lunch, coffee, snacks etc! Perfect after a walk at Strumpshaw etc

Came for coffee. Partner had a nice cappuccino. For some reason his slice was on a saucer instead of a plate and no saucer with the cup. My black Americano was served in a tall mug. Had to request fresh Americano as there was sparkle of lipstick from previous use. Server apologised and made fresh coffee. Had to wait over 5 mins for it to be cool enough to drink because of the mug size and shape. Handle on second mug had dried food on it. 1 knife in cutlery pot dirty so put on tray. Over half cakes and slices had no labels with cake name, price or if dairy free/vegan/gluten free. Toilets fairly clean, corners and edges aside. Needs attention to detail by staff. Has jewellery rule with Basic Food Hygiene changed? Some staff wearing more than 1 earring per ear, bangles and chains.

We left our holiday cottage in Brundall this morning at 9am and had breakfast here before our journey up north. We had a bacon butty and a pot of tea and it was lovely served by friendly professional staff and at a reasonable price for three people. The location is excellent. We would highly recommend.

Used to love visiting East Hills, but it's lost it's appeal for me now. Their 2024 relaunch looks wonderful on the inside, really high standard, but unfortunately all let down by the lack of menu options. Other than cakes/bakery items, the only food options available now are baps or waffles. The waffles are great, the baps not so much. Very expensive for baps with sometimes only single options (e.g. bap with violife cheese, nothing else for £7). Not massively impressed with the cakes unfortunately, presented well but the lemon slice was a little bland and dry. Pre 2024 this was a wonderful location with a vast menu offering, especially breakfast options (fry-up etc.) though not sure how viable the new relaunch is just offering 2 menu options - baps or waffles. Not sure why it was so drastically changed because it was perfect beforehand with some excellent choices on the menu. I hope the place can succeed as all staff are really friendly and offer good service, just the menu needs expansion.

very disappointed trying for the first time today, after being served a lukewarm latte. No white rolls, we were told after taking order for egg mayo and cress this was mainly mayo. Also we were informed they did not do a sandwich although another customer had a bacon sandwich. We regularly use all of Marcus Pearcey cafe and restaurants this one just didn't meet our expectations .

Amazing food if you’re willing to wait. We booked for breakfast this morning, and despite us being one of the first there we still had to wait over half an hour for our drinks and longer for food.

The cafe has since changed hands, so no little shop to buy gifts that I could see, but we were outside on the balcony. Enjoyed watching the mover lift a yacht and lowered it in to the river. Downside were the exhaust fumes coming from the mover. Unfortunately, went back for lunch recently and it's only offering cake and coffee, or a full expensive fish menu. So I can no longer recommend East Hills Cafe for lunch. Such a shame really liked this place before, but won't be going back. We went here today (Sunday) as a birthday meal. Looked on the website and only offered Sunday roast or vegetable tart. That was good enough but when we got there, there was no Sunday lunch, so if you go be prepared to be flexible. I ordered sausages and peas with buttered mash. Without the butter, no couldn't do that as the mash was already prepared. So did I want chips or jacket potato. 🤷♀️. It was a very nice meal, but everyone (7) was looking forward to the Sunday roast. So I'm not sure I will go again, maybe they should put a note on the website about the Sunday roast may or may not be available.

Location is lovely, staff are friendly. Food was a disappointing..they had ran out of lots of the options...we had toasties & they were overpriced for what we got. The bread used was like a cheap white loaf from the supermarket and the side salad was a large garnish of mostly iceberg lettuce with a couple of bits of tomato.

Don't often give bad reviews but God what a disappointment. Seen such good reviews about this place so decided to try it at 2:30pm on a bank holiday weekend Sunday. They had a really poor selection of cake, one that looked great but was told they weren't selling it yet - so no cake! No semi-skimmed milk for the cappuccinos either. Was really looking forward to trying this place but I don't think we will be back. 2 of the stars are for location.

My wife and I took our daughter to East Hills Café Bistro last night to celebrate her excellent end of year A-level results. And it was a real treat, for all of us. The service was absolutely first class, from the exceptional manager and all staff we interacted with. Superb menu knowledge, great advice, friendly and attentive. And the food... incredible! We opted for the small plates, tapas style. Every single dish we ordered was perfect. Beautifully presented, wonderful flavours. So much so, we ordered more and probably ended up try most of the menu. I have to say, the paella was as good as any I've ever had in Spain. It really was that good. The Sweet & Sour Monkfish is also definitely one not to miss. We'll certainly be visiting again. Especially ss we now know the Bistro is dog-friendly too.

The fish was hanging over the edges of the plate served with fries and a small side of mushy peas and tartar sauce. Mussels came in a kettle pot as big as my wife head. Amazing. We will return very soon.

Disappointed that the lunch menu on website does not come into effect for a few weeks. Seems odd you would publish a menu that you are not actually offering. Floor was dirty under table from previous customers with food and used napkins. Not even offered if we would like a drink while looking at menu..so decided to go elsewhere. It was a shame as I've heard good things for this place and maybe the staff were still hungover from new year festivities.

Do not Moor here, owner is the rudest lady I have encountered for some time, considering we were customers to her business. We had our 2 pugs with us off lead (but well controlled) as we had not seen any signs to disallow this (we looked afterwards and they were along the river not near where we had not moored) The lady shouted at us for this, we apologised and put them on leads immediately. She continued to shout, repeating herself and accused us of being in 'her back yard' even though we were standing by the shop entrance. No wonder place is for sale!
