Flying Fifteens in Waveney

Had the most amazing afternoon tea with my daughter on Mother’s Day. The food was freshly prepared and absolutely delicious! The staff were very hard working and extremely friendly, nothing was too much trouble. They obviously really enjoy their jobs and take much pride in their work. It most definitely beats some of the upmarket venues both in quality and service! We will without doubt be back in the summer to sample more offerings in the lovely beachfront location.

Fantastic afternoon tea and great service, highly recommend! Will be back again soon and the wife agrees which is most important!

Lovely little find on the seafront, with fab customer service and great coffee. Had gluten and vegan options (we had vegan and GF rocky road, gf tiffin), and also very tasty baked treats (we had a delicious plain scone, and cheese scone). Would recommend!

Called in for breakfast. Waitress was very polite and pleasant. She apologized immediately and said there would be a wait for food as they were so busy. Ordered two full English breakfasts and a tea and coffee. The drinks came over quickly. I had the vanilla tea, which was loose in a pot and came with a strainer, great tasting tea. The food only took about 10 mins to come and was lovely. Nice quality sausage, two thick rashers of bacon, hash brown, tomatoes, mushrooms and beans. The toast was 2 slices of nice uncut bread, very thickly sliced. All in all a lovely breakfast.

Visited here again today, I love this eatery, this is the best place to stop for a pot of tea (real tea leaves) Decided to have a spot of breakfast this morning (Eggs Royale) the eggs were good to perfection, shame about the muffin however this was addressed immediately. by a very professional young man. 5 stars next time I promise!

I often go to this tea room, mainly for tea and scones but I have had the soup in the past which was delicious. The only downside for me is that I can't take my dog in but I do fully understand why. I sit in the garden with my dog and watch the world go by. If it is cold weather I leave my dog in the car as the carpark is a short stroll away. I highly recommend you visit when you are in Lowestoft, it is a little gem.

Walking along the seafront we decided to stop here for lunch. We sat in the lovely garden where we could look out towards the sea. We chose the pork and pickle platter which was delicious. Lovely pork pie, sausage roll and thickly cut ham off the bone all served with lovely fresh salad and bread. The service was very good and the staff were friendly. Very reasonable prices on all the food and a varied selection to choose from. Well worth the five stars given and would definitely recommend.

I pop in here occasionally as I like the quiet setting back from the prom. Sit sun or shade. However we thought the cheese scones were a bit sweet and not very cheesy, and the long Americano as they described it wasn't so long.

Out for a walk along the prom, we decided to stop here for lunch. We ordered crab sandwiches and prawn sandwiches, together with two cups of coffee. On ordering I asked whether I should wait for the coffee and the very friendly young lady said it was okay, it would be brought outside to our table. We had been sitting there only a few minutes when two young ladies came out, one with a tray containing two cups of coffee, together with a lidded jar of sugar cubes and a pair of tongs. And the other young lady carrying a tray on which were our sandwiches. I had not expected our food to arrive so quickly. The sandwiches came with salad dressing and a small pot of coleslaw. We shared the sandwiches between us and agreed the crab sandwiches were absolutely delicious, very full of crab meat and very moist. The prawn sandwiches also were crammed with filling and delicious. The coffee was some of the best we have ever tasted and stayed hot (and frothy) right until the last drop. It was lovely to sit in sunny surroundings with a sea view, enjoying a beautiful day with first class service.

having booked the whole venue for the day, we had the most fantastic service, quality of food and the decorations went over and above all our exceptions. Chris and his team pulled out all the stops. and if you haven't seen his new wine bar below, your missing out. They made our day Very special and one to remember

Excellent breakfast great prices, service was second to none good amounts of food , will be back for certain in the near future

Was looking for so where nice for coffee, where we could avoid the nagging wind. So glad we chose this venue as the coffee and service were excellent. Such friendly and helpful staff and a very tasty fruit scone with a hint of spice. Highly recommended if you are in the area.

My husband and I visited Flying Fifteens tearooms on the first day of the Platinum Jubilee weekend. As the weather was sunny and warm we thought it might be full but we were pleasantly surprised to find a free table outside. There was some lovely piano and then trumpet music playing softly in the background which I thought was a lovely touch. The food and drink was served fairly promptly and was tasty and enjoyable; and the staff were friendly and polite. We were told by our waitress that the Red Arrows would fly over in about 10 minutes. This unexpected event made us enjoy our experience there even more. The chairs were comfortable and we could easily have stayed all afternoon. We will be returning. Thanks to the staff for making our visit so pleasurable.

Lovely place to have your dinner ,Light lunch or afternoon tea.Superb service from all staff who were very friendly and very accommodating.

An ideal location for a bite of lunch or a cuppa. Great view of the sea from inside. Nice outdoor area. We had cheese scones and drinks. The scones were warm and the tea was served with nice crockery. The staff were very friendly and the rest of the food looked great. Will certainly call again if we visit the south beach.

Came across this tea room whilst walking along the front. Very friendly staff, efficient & polite. We ordered de caf tea along with a ham sandwich to share. Choice of bread offered. Tea was served in a teapot complete with strainer all with matching cups ,saucers, milk jug. The sandwich came with a very fresh side salad. None of your “plastic” ham here but freshly carved ham. To cap it all the toilets were very clean with hot water , soap and a dryer that actually dried your hands. We will certainly seek this gem of a place when next in the area.

Our birthday girl booked this venue for our group to celebrate her special day. Four of our large party ordered afternoon tea which looked both delicious and substantial. The rest opted for jacket potatoes with different fillings washed down with glasses of wine or pots of tea. The owner and staff were both courteous and helpful in that we had the restaurant, towards the end of opening times, to ourselves. The owner even cracked a funny joke which we enjoyed. It was really great sitting in the warm confines of the restaurant looking out of the windows to the bright, but cold, choppy sea view. This was an excellent choice by our birthday girl. So fortunate to have such a great local venue.

Dropped in for a cup of tea and to shelter from the blustery weather on the Lowestoft promenade. Enticed by the large selection of loose leaf green teas. Great service, sheltered tables in the garden overlooking the sea. Can’t fault.

We had tea here on 2 separate occasions whilst on holiday. Friendly staff, nice tea and cake, great sea views. Worth a visit !

We chose The Flying Fifteens based on reviews whilst we were out and about in Lowestoft and on holiday in the area. The good bits: the staff were friendly and polite and we found the service good; the place is dog friendly; the drinks (latte)...

We stopped for lunch in the garden in a shady area. Although it was busy we were able to find a seat. They were fast, friendly and the food was good.

Flying Fifteens offer the perfect cup of tea with a sea view. Staff are both friendly and most courteous. Perfect place to sit and watch the world go by.

We visited this tea room for coffee during our brief stay in Lowestoft last week, and noticed they did a cream tea, so ordered this for the two of us the following day, as we liked the atmosphere, the coffee was good and the waitress...

Whilst the waitress was very quick efficient and very friendly we ordered 2 sandwiches and we asked for crispy bacon on top of egg mayonnaise when they arrived the bacon was so fatty and just cooked we also ordered a warm sausage roll but it...

Stumbled across this tea room whilst walking along the front at Lowestoft. Lovely afternoon tea, really friendly host. Decor is worth a visit on it's own. Highly recommend

Our Sunday morning ritual is visit the coast in Norfolk or Suffolk. Wherever we end up its a Latte and a bacon bap. Today we ended up here. Wow ! I have to say the food and hospitality was great.

It is friendly, excellent service, great food and tea. Perfect! I cannot recommend it more highly. I always go there for my birthday.

We've been coming here as a family since lockdown ended and it's such a lovely, friendly place with great food and amazing location. Home-made cakes are great and the all day bacon bap is good value. Good with kids and also very clean.

Really lovely freshly cooked breakfast, served piping hot with a really lovely sea view. Good-quality loose-leaf tea served in a large teapot, and the staff were attentive and friendly. Covid measures in place, without being intrusive. Highly recommend.

Visiting near Loestoft for a week and went to this cafe four times. First visit was pot luck as it was just convenient to where we wanted to stop. Lovely staff of mainly young girls who showed an interest in us and servedus very well....

This is a delightful cafe, we had a lovely coffee here with a view of the sea from the garden. The staff were pleasant and friendly. Lot nicer than the usual coffee outlets

Lowestoft esplanade is not lovely, sorry, so we were so pleased to find this cafe which WAS lovely! Jolly food choices which were tasty and catered for a meat eater, 2 vegetarians and a gluten free vegetarian. The strawberry milkshake transported my husband to his...

We discovered this lovely place part way through our stay in Lowestoft this week and wished we'd found it sooner. Staff were friendly and attentive and we were impressed with the food and drink on offer. They were happy to provide part of our order to take away when we couldn't drag our young son off the beach one day! Visited more than once and would thoroughly recommend! :-)

We visited the Flying Fifteens this afternoon after a gap of a couple of years. The service and food (toasties, strawberry scone, tea) were delicious and faultless but we were disappointed that the garden wasn’t as inviting as in the past. I know the cafe has just come out of lockdown but I would have just bought a few bedding plants to brighten the two empty front flowerbeds. Just a picky small point but it’s visual appearance always made it feel as if you were sitting in someone’s garden and attracted people to go in ...though it was busy this afternoon.

Delicious real leaf cherry Green tea and a tasty cinnamon flavoured tea cake yum. Relaxing garden watching the world go by and efficient, cheerful service.

Went for a birthday celebration lunch and the staff couldn’t have done more. They reserved a table for us with a lovely sea view, placed the balloons we dropped off on the table. Food and service were great. They even played happy birthday music and gave us a fresh cream and strawberry scone with a candle.

This is a beautiful cafe on the seafront, stunning views of the beach. My friend and I spent a wonderful hour or so relaxing and enjoying this lovely space. The waiter was extremely friendly and helpful. They do gluten free bread and other treats. I had the most perfect scrambled egg ever and my friend had eggs benedict, the best ever again perfectly poached eggs and smooth sauce. Several people had drinks outside with their dogs on the terrace. Have been here before and certainly will return. I had a speciality elderflower tea, just rounded it all off. Thank you so much.

This must be one of Lowestoft's best kept secrets - beautifully presented and delicious afternoon tea, lovely decor (comfortable chairs and lots of room) and friendly owner and staff, in a great location with sea front views. My six year old loved it, and so did I. Highly recommended.

Omg ! Stumbled upon this fab place when out for a a breezy walk along south beach lowestoft ! Amazing lemon meringue scone ! Coffee great ! Service from a lovely lady was exceptional . Friendly environment ! Will be back !

OMG We have passed on many occasions but never popped inWhy??? Not a clueThis will be my new favourite placeBrought friends from London and we all loved itTea great ,it was real tea! Service was great too with a lesson on how to pour the perfect LatteThank youWe will be back

This place is truly something very special. Great welcome by the new owner. Delicious lunch and it would have been rude not to try the cream and strawberry scones! Can’t wait to return to try out their brunch menu.....

Lovely cafe under new management and now open all year. Overlooking the sea with a lovely wood burner the food is of the highest quality and value. Friendly service and building a good local trade.

I have been here many times under the previous management. The menu is smaller than it used to be but the scones are still baked on the premises. I understand that they are now going to be open all year which is a bonus. I had the speciality strawberry scone which as you can see by the pic was ridiculously full of cream!!, very fresh and tasty as were the accompanying drinks.

Wow what can I say, as a tea drinker i was impressed with the choice of tea and may i just add it was all loose tea, the choice of cakes was good, my cinnamon one was exceptional! Service was superb and staff very friendly and chatty, I will definatley be back to work my way through that tea menu!

We visited twice in the same day: for coffe then lunch. The food is simple and of excellent quality. Service is efficient and genuinely friendly. The garden seating is comfortable and basic. The indoor area is stylish and clean. We would certainly seek out this place again during any subsequent visit to the area. Thanks folks

Used to frequent here when previous owners ran it. Now under new ownership. We visited 3 wks ago for coffee n cake. The drinks came out after a bit of a wait and just plonked down on the table without a smile. The cakes were brought out after a good while.we had almost finished our drinks. The waitress leant over from where she stood, not bringing the cakes to each individual. I guess these are young school leavers. Don’t run this into the ground. It has the chance of continuing the great service we enjoyed with the previous owners/management.

Visited on 31 August with my sister for lunch and cake. My latte was swimming in the saucer when it was served to me and I found the prawn baguette dry with no sauce. As for the service, the plates were just put down on the table without a word or a smile from the waitresses. Such a shame.

This was a really nice place to stop for breakfast.

Wowza! Excellent breakfast (absolutely no fat on bacon) view amazing, friendly & quick, only thing guys you need to invest in table & chairs. Plastic woobly tables is a def no no. The Goldspinks (local)

We popped in hear for tea coffee ect the tea cake was nice but it's a tea cake our friends had a scone and it looked amazing they said they really enjoyed it staff very friendly and service was good.

Having been regular visitors for many years we were delighted when we found Flying Fifteens had re-opened under new ownership but with similar menus etc.

I popped in on the off chance while visiting Lowestoft. I wanted a scones and cream to take away. The lady who served me was very helpful. There was a bit of a wait but I didn't mind as I got to look at the amazing view. The scones were the best I've had in a long time, absolutely delicious. You could tell they were home made, very fresh and a good size. The jam and cream were put in cake casss into a box for us, which looked great and meant we could do it ourselves. The only negative is I would of liked more cream but that's just me. I would highly recommend this place as food and service was good. I saw other food coming out of the kitchen and that also looked very nice, nicely presented.

We visited today, whilst on holiday. A great little cafe with a good ambience. The food was great, two of us had the Ploughman’s from the special’s board, it is highly recommended. We would definitely go again when visiting Lowestoft.

we had the bacon baguette and prawn baguette served with a side salad and homemade coleslaw. also a crab baguette to take away, the food was beautiful, freshly made and full of flavour. the staff was pleasant polite and very helpful, we will definatly be returning.my husband also had a slice of cake that he happily tucked into only offereing me a small taster his words too good to share

What a shame, we arrived at the tea room after a lovely walk on the prom, we had 2 hours left on our parking ticket, which we thought would have been enough time for lunch before moving on. The food that came out of the kitchen looked lovely. BUT we only got our pot of tea after nearly an hour i did mention this to the young lady serving who said she would check it out but did not return! eventually with just under an hour until our ticket run out we asked again to be told they had to do the tickets in order...we were given a refund, but found it not very friendly. Not knowing the area we were disappointment with the service.

Had an excellent pot of tea for two this afternoon sitting in the sunshine. What a lovely clean tea room you have. Wonderfully kept garden. Only niggle took a while to get the tea....even though not busy.

Had an amazing lunch, Sandwiches to die for, service was excellent staff outstanding and witty. Amazing location right on the beach.

Great location with a beautiful view of the beach. Would highly recommend grabbing a bite to eat and sitting in the garden.

I went with my daughter for tea and cake at The Flying Fifteens and was welcomed by friendly staff. There was a large variety of tea to choose from as well as a variety of cakes as well as sandwiches and breakfasts. The cake was superb. The ocean views amazing and the atmosphere was very tranquil. This is a real hidden treasure and a must to visit.

We discovered this teashop following a mooch along the front. They sell loose leaf pots of tea which includes Russian Caravan - which isn’t available in many places. Service was great as were the scones. The meringues looked like something from times past and were fab! Thanks very much all - a great find!

Been to a lot of places along Lowestoft beach front and most of them you know what you get for your money.

What a lovely little tea room! The decor was lovely especially in the sitting area near the fire place. The staff are friendly and all had smiles on their faces. The location is perfect, right on the sea front. I would definitely go again!

Beautiful setting right on the promenade. Gorgeous for a lovely summers day. Food excellent. Service good too.

Walking past, the garden looked so inviting, so we took a seat. We were straight away given a number, with an explanation about how orders are taken in strict numerical order, and that the waitress could only take two hours at a time, so there could be a long delay. Well at least we knew. We were in fact served quickly, but as we sat and looked around, it seemed to be full of rules and regulations, and we began to feel a little uncomfortable. But actually we had good service, and the scones and tea were most enjoyable. I think it was just the way it was written. You can this at that time, but not at another time. It sounded like school!! But was nothing like that. It was very nice indeed, and a lovely garden to sit in too.

My Mum & Dad have previously visited and recommended this little gem to me, and I can see why. The service was faultless, the server was a credit to the tea room! She was so helpful and attentive. The dished up scones that was served was beautiful, and very well presented.

After walking along the promenade for quite a distance decided to go in for a cuppa.The sun was shining so sat under a large parasol and were quickly served with a large teapot and another of hot water. Sitting in the shade and watching the world go by drinking many cups of tea was a very relaxing time before continuing or walk along the rest of the prom.

Having heard so much about Flying Fifteens we thought we would visit, big mistake. We arrived and took a number, then waited and waited and waited for about 45 mins. Just as we were about to leave the waitress came and took our order. Then we waited and waited for another 30 mins, drinks arrived and fifteen mins later food. One sandwich (cheap whole meal bread, cheese spread a few slices of apple and some nuts). To be charged £4.50 seemed very expensive for this sandwich, I pointed this out to the lady, only to be told by her " there's nothing I can do about it". Needless to say, we will not be visiting again.

my mum and I, sat outside in the garden overlooking the seafront. We ordered two pots of tea and shared a scone with jam and cream

Whilst others may disagree, I like the fact you take a number to order........ so there is service in order of arrival. They may not rush to serve you, at busy times, but this is explained in their menu........ and you can leave should you wish. This is not a quick stop, and should not be in my opinion.

Lovely pot of Assam, a slice of Victoria sponge and a citrus bakewell for afternoon tea stop while wandering along Lowestoft’s sea front promenade. Pleasant sheltered garden. We experienced no issues with service delays as suggested in previous reviews but they weren’t serving hot food after 3/3.30pm maybe that’s why? If you just want tea and cake it’s a lovely little place!

I've heard a lot about the Flying 15's and how nice it was. I took a friend there on Saturday for a lunch. Sadly I must say we were both disappointed. Walking in felt very cramped as there is 2 rows of 4's tables on the right. They were pushed close together and you had to be careful about the people sitting behind you. We asked for a black coffee and a latte. The latte was more like instant coffee with milk that had been frothed up in a jug than a proper latte. The coffee my friend's coffee was instant as well. Yet up near the window was a 2 ladies who had a caffita. My friend was not asked if she wanted a caffita coffee. There was a lady who works there who was quite loud when she spoke and it was hard to hear yourself when she did. It's in a lovely position right on the front with the an amazing views of the beach and sea. We were going to have cake but decided to go else where for it in the end. I not sure I would go back again. There are so many eateries about now a days. You have to get it just right.

My wife and I took grandad out for a trip down memory lane yesterday. Memory lane as the family used to holiday in Lowestoft and my wife still speaks fondly of time spent on the beach.

Popped in for scones ,tea and coffee, really lovely scones, personally I had a whole meal one and it was very nice and went down well with a perfectly made cup of earl grey tea ( use of egg timer for brewing was really good idea.)

Nice to come back to this tearoom on a return visit to Lowestoft, well worth the walk from the town along the pleasant sea front, good selection of teas and coffee, extensive tea menu. Nice cakes and usually there is a gluten free option on offer. A very pleasant place to sit outside and enjoy the views on a warm sunny day. Would definately go back. Good service once we had got our heads around the ticket system, not sure how well this would work on really busy days.

We called here for morning coffee on a day visit with 4 friends. The tables on the lawn facing the sea were a pleasant place to pass the time while we waited. The menu advised that there may be a wait for food, all prepared fresh, ok, but for coffee?

What an amazing tea house. Staff are very friendly and the food is delicious. The scones are a must have, they were the most delicious I have ever had. The sandwich selection is very good and there are lots of lovely cakes too. I had the carrot, apple, apricot and walnut and it was delicious.

Ate in garden. Excellent system of number for order -taking. Soup , sandwiches fresh, crab a specialty . Excellent service, well presented food.

Wir sind in diesem Tea & Coffee Lokal auf unserer Wanderung am Strand entlang ein gekehrt. Hier ist alles etwas anders. Man kann zwischen unzähligen Tee Sorten, verschiedenen Kaffee Sorten und selbst gebackenem Kuchen/Gebäck wählen. Die Qualität ist hervorragend. Wir waren sehr angenehm überrascht. Es ist eine kleine Oase

We've been visiting for years. Their scone special is delicious and normally the service and food is spot on.

Buen menú, personal servicial, lugar encantador, este es ahora mi ir caminando por el paseo marítimo, lugar cuando lowestoft.

Llevamos a nuestros nietos para un almuerzo ligero, deliciosamente servido y muy buena relación calidad-precio. Un soplo de aire fresco en el café/departamento tearoom. Lleno de sándwiches con pan fresco, abundante hidratación, el queso tostados, tocino, jamón bien cocinado, caliente y húmeda. El té en china en una olla con tazas y platillos (un cambio) y había para todos. Recomendaría a cualquiera que le guste un buen servicio, comida y una buena taza de té.

Visitamos esta tetería en ruta a nuestras vacaciones, para una comida ligera. Lo primero que nos impactó fue la cálida bienvenida y el hecho de que este era un café tradicional y una sala de té. El menú era exactamente lo que estábamos buscando y ambos tuvimos el queso más sabroso y tomate en pan tostado que hemos experimentado en años.

This is a nice tearoom with a good view. The cakes were really nice and reasonably priced. The waiters were also helpful when a seagull decided to deload onto our table. I would come back again.

We visited the tearoom for a lunch break. The staff were very helpful and efficient as we missed the ordering system. A proper lunch took a step back as we found the "homemade scones with jam, cream and fresh strawberries". The tea / coffee was served in proper China cups.Seated in the garden, we thoroughly enjoyed the who eating experience and it was not expensive for what we had. The interior of the tearoom had gifts, cards and various tea for sale. Just a lovely place on the sea front to enjoy meal.

Lovely little tea room, opposite the beach with a garden to sit in on good days!! Excellent service and a good menu with snacks and meals on offer.Food is well cooked and made. It's lovely sitting in the garden eating cakes and drinking coffee watching the sea and people walking by!

Lovely homemade food with great service. I come here as often as I can and have never had a bad meal. Lovely china cups, traditional tea pot and cake stands. Staff always friendly. Shame they are not open all year round!! (can recommend their soups of the day with a homemade cheese scone)

Dropped in for a cup of tea and a piece of cake, both very nice , and the service was very good , and very good value for money definitely worth another visit

had tea and cake here, great choice of teas, menu looked varied,and the cakes were lovley,good service on a busy day

If you like elegance this tea shop will suit you. China cups and saucers, hot water jugs and great service. Lots of lovely cakes to choose. Scones made fresh each day and served with fresh strawberries and cream. On a hot summers day, sitting in the garden overlooking the sea, is sheer bliss. Like me you will return time and again.

This small tea shop, is certainly one of the best I've visited! With friendly staff and management and a lovely sea view to have lunch or afternoon tea with. The sandwiches are very nice and filled to the brim with fillings as well as a side salad. A wide variety of vegetarian-friendly dishes. The last time I had the salad baguette, the baguette still warm from the oven with butter melting slightly is great. Along with the home-made cakes done by management, very tasty! I had the bake well tart, with a crumbly pastry with a strong but not overpowering almond flavour, I would have it again! Go here every time we visit Lowestoft (coming on the days we know Flying Fifteens is open!)

A lovely relaxing place to eat and very good service ,Food good the grounds tosit in on a lovely day make it a treat to eat there

This place was recommended to us and so we went along to try the delights. Wow were we impressed. It is only a small place with a limited number of covers. They do however ensure people are served in order of arrival which I was impressed by. The food was excellent, we only stopped for a snack at lunch time and were glad we stopped here. The food is not exotic but simple plain good home cooking. Nothing was too much trouble.The cakes are really out of this world and so to stop for a coffee and a piece of cake would be well worth it.

I believe her name was Hollie, she made my young child feel welcome and made him laugh, the only thing I find wrong with the tea room is there are no guys working there

Lovely tea room for a pleasant stop off along the promenade.My husband and I stopped here after trapsing along the front looking for somewhere that offered a gluten free option. After entering a rather posh looking place further up where the young staff looked at me blankly we found this little gem with its very pretty garden overlooking the sea.The young staff member was friendly and was able to quote straight off what gluten free options were available.We both had a yummy hot chocolate with cream and a scone with jam and more cream. Very yummy indeed!Something as simple as offering a gluten free scone on the menu made my day as not many places offer this. This place is worth a visit!

What a lovely gem of a place. Tea and coffee served in lovely matching cups, saucers and tea/coffee pots. Food served on cakestands. Staff so pleasant. It felt like we were sitting in someone's garden overlooking the sea - most enjoyable.

Pleasant cafe on sea front, lots of different teas and coffees, and some different cake flavours, friendly staff

a great little tea rooms right on the front with sea views from the neat and tidy front lawns.if you love proper tea leaves in your tea pot this is the place to go. all of this is served with china cups, teapots, and sugar pots including sugar tongs (didn't even know they still did these!). The food is excellent even a simple cheese toasties are served with salad. I had a Cromer crab sandwich and it was superb. they don't have a lot of space, but they use it wisely. The place has a unhurried and relaxing atmosphere and the staff are very efficient and pleasant to deal with. A truly great place to visit.

Lovely little tea room overlooking Lowestoft Beach. The sound of the sea and happy hub of fellow diners make for a delightful setting. Crab is filling, bacon sandwich fine - waitresses get five stars for their sunny disposition and pleasant service. We'll come back again to try the famous strawberry meringues. Reasonable food but don't dare deviate from the menu - there's no mix and match on offer no matter how much extra you offer to pay! I was amused by the terms of engagement set out in the menu - though this did create some discord between some and resulted in a row between two parties one of whom had a table and no number and the other who (had visited before and knew he strict system) had a number but no table. Regrettably words were exchanged and the former stomped off!

Fresh delicious food and the strawberry and cream merengues are to die for! If a fine day and you sit outside the views are perfect over the sea.

There is a rather strange system for serving people here, but it seems to work. The staff were pleasant and efficient and the food was good and beautifully presented, but what made the place stand out for me was the tea. There was a fine selection of proper tea at a reasonable price and with tasting notes. I had Formosan oolong, which was only one of a really fine selection. So often cafes have bog standard teabags with Earl Grey or fruit teas for those who don't like it, but here there was a real choice, well served even with a mini egg timer to check it was properly brewed. For those who don't care about the tea, its still pleasant sitting in he garden looking over the sea,
