Foundry Plant Centre & Coffee Shop in South Norfolk

Love this place. Brilliant staff and service. Delicious food. Great plants and gifts shop.

Lovely carvery, good selection of plants

Great value carvery. Choose a table the garden room.

Cafeteria was superb. Service good and cake divine.

Always a friendly and warm welcome here. A great example of good customer service.

A little gem on the A140! Second visit, and tried the carvery which was superb.

A hidden gem of a cafe/restaurant. Varied and interesting menu, excellent veggie options, delicious and very ‘cheffy’. Definitely a surprise find given the picture of the full English on the way in!

Great plant centre with lots of plants as well as great coffee shop with Carvery on Wednesday and Sunday .

Took my mum to the Foundry plant centre and coffee shop for the first time today. The plant centre is well-laid out and has lots of choice of plants and shrubs. We had the carvery in the garden room, and the food was wonderful, and all the staff were very friendly and helpful. We can't wait to come back again, and we will make sure it's a Wednesday so we can have the lovely carvery again! Thank you for making my mum's day! David.

Stopped for breakfast, the service and latte were fine, unfortunately the Foundry breakfasts were swimming in fat-oil that spoiled the enjoyment of the food

Meeting relatives for lunch today, we were lucky they were trialling a new carvery. We all decided to give it a try. Choice of 3 meats, Turkey, beef and pork and a good selection of veggies, yummy yorkie puds, roast potatoes, and a delicious gravy. We all cleared our plates with no complaints. Comfy seating in the conservatory, impeccable service. Really was very good. Oh, I forgot to say, all this for the princely sum of £9.95 a head. Not sure when they will do it again so best to phone yo check up its a carvery day, but it was certainly worth a try. BTW the rest of the good going out looked yummy especially the breakfasts and there were some delicious looking scones, sausage rolls and cakes too.

Quick stop for a coffee, snack, and refill of my water bottle. Good selection of plants and nice location of the café outside seating area. Relaxed vibe. Friendly service and very nice scone. There are plenty of parking spaces on tarmac and unmade car park.

Great garden centre Wonderfull coffee and restaurant

Excellent quality plants and much more at good affordable price. Home cooked food in the restaurant which is due to open again 17th May!! Again well worth a visit.

The food was great quality, the staff were very nice. Quality and price of plants were excellent. Only downside was the gift shop was on the small side a

What a great find! Beautiful well cared for plants trees etc. Great cafe with inside & outside seating. We had a breakfast & it was one of the best we've had! Freshly made local ingredients & lovely & hot. Reasonable prices too & lovely staff. Well worth a visit, we will definitely be going back. Thank you. Fabulous big carpark which looked like it was soon to be resurfaced. A little more signage on the road leading to it may be an advantage.

Nice little garden centre. Very nice food

Comfy and friendly. Excellent mocha. Update - breakfast awesome in new restaurant section, great experience.

Breakfast was marvellous, sat outside in the sunshine.

Lovely cafe and a superb full English!

Went for Sunday lunch for my mums birthday. The restaurant food was fantastic with generous portions and the staff couldn't be more helpful. I had thr vegetarian sunday roast which was delicious and everything was fresh. Absolutely first class. We will definitely be back. Thank you!

I had a cappuccino and a cheese and chive scone, my partner had a hame a cheese toasty and a pot of tea. 30% through my cheese and chive scone I found a human hair all the way the rest of my scone. I immediately took my scone back pointed out the beginning of the hair and the end with the middle still in the scone. I got an apology and was ask if I would like something else or a refund. I requested a refund as my stomach was still churning from this delightful hair in my scone. Sadly it also put my partner off her sandwich and stopped eating her sandwich. The most annoying part is that senior management never came over to give a full apology and could at least offer complementary drinks. It's if they get a lot of complaints and is the norm! Very disappointed as I am sure this is a very nice café but in our case very poor after sale service. Also noted the management/owners don't even reply to reviews regardless good or bad, maybe they don't care!!!!

We travelled from Hingham, having seen the Garden centre advertised. Unfortunately, we got to the door, with our 2 well behaved dogs, to find a big notice saying they were not allowed anywhere. Such a shame, we had a long shopping list, and were intending to stop for lunch. Please make clear on advertising literature that dogs are not allowed anywhere in the centre.

What a wonderful place! They grew so massively. Only disadvantage is waiting time for cooked food. Everything else is perfect.

Lovery small plant centre and the icing on the cake is the updated eating place

The quality is just so much better than anywhere else and the price of the plants was shocking...in a really good way, just go and have a look and see for yourself!!!

Visited many times to cafe and shop before the cafe extension. Lovely place. However last time waited a long time for food and this time didn't even get my breakfast after watching the owner and other customers get served around us. Maybe getting too big and busy to keep up with orders. Had to leave due to time, was refunded but not even a refunded my cuppa out of good will gesture. Real shame..hope this review helps to improve service but will give it a while before trying again.

Absolutely brilliant. All the plants on sale looks so wonderfully healthy and well looked after. The café is excellent too reasonably priced and the staff throughout the centre are friendly and so helpful.

Nice garden centre, always something different on display and the prices are always reasonable. The expanded cafe space is nice, well worth a visit. 🤓 💖

Great selection of well cared for plants. Knowledgeable and helpful staff. Haven't tried the cafe but it looks good

Brilliant plants, very reasonable prices, and great food. One of our favourite nurseries. Always a friendly welcome.

Such a lovely garden centre with a great restaurant too! The prices for both are very reasonable. Photos are of plants we bought today!

Visited with a friend for coffee. Lovely garden centre with an enormous variety of plants. Lots of colour. Although the coffee shop has been relocated since my last visit the food is still a bit dated. Lovely area to eat and very new. My opinion is just that the menu could do we with a revamp

Came for lunch and am so impressed with the customer service in the cafe. Great choice of food which was excellent. Cafe clean and bright. Will be back.

A huge selection of plants for the weekend gardener to choose from. It'd be helpful if they were arranged by the garden conditions in which they thrive, eg. Sunny, well drained soil; partly shady, wet soil; shady, clay. But the owner is on hand to help customers with inspiration - and for specialist advice on specific types of plants, he's quick to brief one of his gardeners to help. The newly extended cafe/restaurant is great for a quick coffee, breakfast or lunch and offers a beautiful view over the nursery. The range in the gift shop isn't my cup of tea and the outdoor/BBQ range has reduced gradually over the past months. Also, due to past bad behaviour, dogs are not allowed. But The Foundry is a good outing - and an invaluable resource for all our nearby neighbourhoods.

Great selection of plants and seemed to be well maintained. The shop also have excellent choices, whether for yourself or as gifts.

Popped in for lunch with the family and had a really nice lunch totally enjoyed it.

Hidden gem for Garden enthusiasts, definitely one of the very best for Suffolk/Norfolk folk alike. Fabulous layout of plants and good stock of each.

Excellent, most plants are grown there and not imported, so more hardy and healthy.

We visited this garden centre for the first time and found the plant shop side of the business well laid out, the plants of good quality and reasonably priced. The restaurant on the other hand was very busy with the staff struggling to handle the volume of customers. Our table was sticky, the cutlery was not washed adequately, my all day breakfast was very greasy and we had to wait for 45 mins for it to be served. We will more than likely revisit to purchase some plants, but not use the restaurant.

This is one of the best garden centres I’ve been to. So much choice. A lovely restaurant also.

Great price for plants Food very nice

Didn't use the coffee shop but the garden centre is amazing. Wonderful selection of plants and very friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Beautiful garden centre. Delightful staff and smart coffee shop. It's definitely worth a visit!

Lovely cafe and garden centre well worth a visit

Great garden centre with excellent cafe with lovely grub

Great place for plants also good for a quick snack still very good

Absolutely stunning garden centre! Popped up on Facebook as a place to visit and headed there the next day. The cafe is wonderful with a great selection of food from breakfasts, light lunches and light bites. First class plants, first class service and first class food. Thank you!

Over priced & poorly looked after plants and till staff who were disinterested in helping ....just in how quickly they could cash up to get away

Lovely breakfast - but a bit of a Faff getting into Cafe

This place is extremely well stocked with healthy plants. The shop also has an amazing array of beautiful gifts.

As always a great selection of plants and everything needed to go with them. Very competitively priced and lots of advice on hand if required. Great place and well worth a visit (even if just for coffee & cake!)

Lovely selection of plants at reasonable prices and a beautiful breakfast as well. Love this place, I will be a frequent visitor.

Well stocked good plant and cafe superb

Had an amazing lunch there, excellent food, very friendly staff. Will be back for more.

Very good selection of plants grown on site, a refreshing change from the usual 'destination' garden centres which seem more interested in selling overpriced tat. Good plants at fair prices, will use regularly as have just moved to the area

Lovely little gem. It is so big

Lovely restaurant and great plant selection loads of parking. Will definitely be going back.

Great place to pop in and have a look at the large selection of plants, shrubs and tree. We had a lovely cheese scone and tea which tasted delicious!

Very extensive garden center ,the cafe very good clean reasonable priced, best all day breakfast around for under a tenner

Paul the owner and hardworking friendly staff have made it a great experience to visit very good food and drink reasonablely priced restaurant addition has made the visit even more of a great experience definitely worth many visit and Sunday roast a must try ( don't forget to book a table).plenty of close large free car space available on site too.

Excellent selection of plants and great shop. A lot of plants under cover, so great when it rains.

Great spot, excellent selection, and very good prices

Lovely garden centre still being established with very friendly and knowledgeable staff, also a wonderful coffee shop selling cakes, scones, etc well worth a visit, highly recommend

Very busy at lunchtime which shows how popular the Foundry Cafe is. Three of us were on a small table but one of the staff kindly moved us when one became available before we ate. Mum and I had Mediterranean tart with chips and salad and my husband had steak and ale pie with chips. Good plateful, delicious and very reasonable. Excellent service and attention. Would definitely return.

Nice garden center with great plants etc. Their gift shop and restaurant are great too

Always friendly welcome and excellent food.

Got there at 2.45 ,the web site said 4, ask if they were still doing food and was told no and then she walked off, not even after tea cake sandwich

Excellent food every time we visit

Nice vegetarian breakfast but wasn't keen on the flat white coffee....

Large selection of plants and also knowledgable and helpful staff

Popped in today for a quick sandwich and hot chocolate after visiting the winter wonderland. The Brie toastie and salad was lovely. Staff super friendly too. If we’re in the area we’ll be heading back!

The plants are all of a very high quality. The staff are friendly and efficient. The food is well cooked and presented. Highly recommend.

Lovely team and good breakfast.

Large selection of shrubs and very friendly/knowledgeable staff to answer any questions

Shared tea and coffee here, nice place and friendly staff.

Nice place to visit and have a snack while we are there

Lovely cafe euth good variety of meals from full english breakfasts to snacks, cakes and sandwiches. Loys of plants etc in the garden cenyre and gifts for everyone. Worth a visit

A lovely all-day-breakfast! Mmmmmm!

Always an enjoyable experience. The restaurant staff do their utmost to make you comfortable, in fact they go the extra mile.

Cafe very busy, unable to wait but food looked good. Don't like the entrance, far to far to visit cafe I e round all the plants

Excellent plants and gifts, lovely coffee shop and restaurant. Friendly helpful staff.

Very good stock all in good condition Reasonable prices

Lovely food but had to wait a long time for our breakfast. We had eight in the party and 6 were served and 2 of us had to wait another 15 minutes. But the food, price and quality is great and staff are friendly and accommodating.

Lovely garden centre and fantastic restaurant! Great gluten free options and delicious Sunday roast whilst we pondered what to buy! All the restaurant staff were fantastic. Really good advice from the garden centre staff, helped me pick lots of plants and trees for my new garden, found things I couldn't find elsewhere. Great choice and really well looked after.

Our first Sunday roast lunch at the Foundry, definitely not the last! Wife had roast beef and I tried the turkey. Both very tasty, good size portions and served with masses of vegetables. The biscoffi cheesecake was perfect. Have always had good food here and the staff are friendly and efficient!

Very nice garden centre, gift shop & cafe. Food nice, staff pleasant.

Great vegetarian breakfast and lovely houseplants
