Katie's Kitchen in South Norfolk

It was not too busy when we arrived at 12 a/m so we had our pick of the clean tables.The assistant was very helpful and chatty which was great. The menu is very varied and my wife had a breakfast baguette which is set out well with the ingredients and i had a jacket potatoe with salad and beans which filled the plate but i managed to eat it all,all washed down with yorkshire tea. It hit the right note. I would like to see on the entrance gate more signage as it is only on one side saying Katies Kitchen .

On a four day motorbike tour we stopped at Katie's Kitchen for breakfast. The food was excellent, cooked fresh and arrived at the table hot. The ladies were charming . All in all it was perfect.

We had never visited here, even though we live near Diss, but my mother-in-law was visiting and we wanted somewhere close to go for lunch. I had a look here on Tripadvisor and read the good reviews and we are so glad we went. Staff are all really friendly and helpful. The food (we had sandwiches - sausage and chicken) was really tasty and it is a lovely atmosphere in there. The building itself is decorated really well, a homely feel. Value for money - definitely! We will definitely be returning for cake - it all looked amazing but we were too full up! We would all highly recommend :)

We regularly go to Katie’s for a meal, the food is top quality and the staff are friendly. Sometimes it is worth booking a table as it does get busy. If you’re not from Diss it’s sign posted off the market square. Cheers Phil&Sandx

We had a superb breakfast served by friendly attentive staff. Very popular with locals we saw people turned away - our advice ? Avoid 11-12 or if you’re prepared to sit outside you’ll be fine. Well worth a visit and careful timing -we will be back

Fantastic selection of Foods and Drinks Dog friendly seating area Helpful attentive staff Definitely recommend

A huge thank you to the staff at Katie’s Kitchen for our visit today. Not only was the food delicious and responsibly priced but the care of the staff was exceptional. My little one had become upset and tearful but everyone was compassionate and did everything to make her feel comfortable. I literally cannot thank you all enough for such lovely gestures.

We had a great lunch, sat outside in the sunshine, very friendly owner, welcomed my dogs with biscuits and water. Would definitely recommend

The lady was short staffed and quite stressed but in spite of everything she was helpful, humourless and most importantly still managed to serve us the delicious Eggs Royal and coffees quickly. Often food is served with a token side salad of inferior, tired produce. But everything on our plates was fresh and outstanding. We'll worth the 15 mile drive for breakfast.

Stopped here for lunch while out for the day in diss really good food. Friendly service good priced Would visit again if in the area

Stumbled across this place by accident and so glad we did. In a lovely little building too. My husband had the full English breakfast which was great, and I had the Eggs Royale - such a generous portion. Usually you get half a muffin, one egg, a sliver of smoked salmon and a tablespoon of hollandaise. Not on this occasion, however. Whole muffin, two eggs, pile of salmon and about a pint of hollandaise. It was absolutely beautiful and the prices were very reasonable. We'll definitely visit again when we next find outselves in Diss. They take payment when you order too, which is a really good idea.

We popped into Katie's Kitchen today for some lunch and were so chuffed that we did! Partner had a full English and was thoroughly impressed - the quality of the meat was exceptional and all from a local butcher, plus a pot of tea and some very tasty granary toast. Our son and I both had baguettes that were delicious and he washed his down with a milkshake that he was very pleased with. The staff were lovely and attentive, the whole team naturally went a bit above and beyond. I regret that I didn't have time to today, but I will definitely be making a point of going back multiple times to try their scrumptious looking cakes and scones. Thank you Katie's Kitchen for a lovely lunch on an otherwise soggy and miserable day.

My first experience of Katies was a great one. Situated off the market place not far from the mere we found a gem. Offering quality food, excellent coffee and friendly and efficient service. Well worth a visit to this intimate local resource. Open daily for food until 3pm and later for drinks.

Having been meaning to visit Katies’s Kitchen for a while, my husband and I finally managed to have lunch here earlier in the week, and we weren’t disappointed! My husband had a BLT baguette which he said was delicious and he was full for the rest of the afternoon, and I had an equally yummy mushroom omelette. Both were served with homemade coleslaw and a lovely fresh salad, and all washed down with a good pot of tea. Staff were welcoming and very friendly and was reasonably priced. We will definitely return and would highly recommend.

Nice place. Good scones. But oh dear.. they have expanded into the yard with outside seating.. but don't appear to have taken on any extra staff to cope with extra customers... So very slow to get anyone taking your order.. shame

The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, helping to carry boxes to our car. The food was absolutely delicious and was excellent value for money. Overall a brilliant experience and would recommend to anyone. Thank you all at Katie’s Kitchen!

Found this place by chance whilst visiting the area and was not disappointed. Food was well presented and very tasty. I had the homemade Sweet Pepper and Tomato soup which was delicious and would definitely recommend. Mr Grandsons were happy as they did homemade cake which went down a treat. Would definitely use again if in the area.

Visited for a cup of tea / coffee and had a lovely time. Beautifully decorated and welcoming service. Also took necessary covid precautions which was reassuring

Visited here today with my fussy family and have to say we could not fault anything. The staff are lovely and the place has a lovely atmosphere. The place is immaculate and they have really thought about the safety of their customers with covid. The toilets even have anti-bac wipes for you to wipe the toilet seat before and after use as well as the handles. No other place we have been during this pandemic has thought of this. Now onto the food, all is locally sourced, cooked to perfection and we'll presented. The portion sizes are nice and big and the quality of the food was exceptional. Will be back anytime we are in Diss. Do not miss out on not trying this place you will not be disappointed

Found this really nice place whilst visiting Diss. Lovely breakfast (and cake), very nice setting. It was very busy for the whole time we were here with people coming and going, which is always a good recommendation in itself! Very friendly service from Katie as well. Will certainly make a return visit when next in the area now I know it’s here.

I've been popping into this one a few times lately. Great friendly staff especially Jo. Great toast too. Not just your standard bread loaf, but thick and large slices 50p each.. bargain and lovely. Have also had their breakfast pancakes with scrambled eggs and bacon. They were nice too... And they have coffee cake etc. All in all a fabulous place to spend half hour reading the papers. Pots have cosies on too. Quaint. Love it. Keep up the good work.x

My wife, daughter and I had lunch here today. This was our first, but will not be our last, visit to this great little restaurant. The food was of a high quality, the price was more than reasonable and the service friendly, warm and professional. All dishes - scrambled eggs with the yellowist tasty eggs possible, generous cheese on toast and succulent sausage baguette with a very tasty side salad and coleslaw- were delicious. Thank you.

Visited Katie's Kitchen for the first time for a lunch out and cannot praise the food ,the friendly helpful staff and the venue enough. Can highly recommend the chicken bacon Caesar salad, it was the best salad lunch i have ever had in a restaurant. We were all really happy with our delicious food choices. Lovely restaurant and we will defiantly be going on a regular basis as i think out of all the places we have eaten , this is way the best .

Went in with no expectation, came out with utter satisfaction (Iwas treated as well) we had the large breakfast it had bean on the plate not in a silly ramikin. Well worth going in nice staff and a smile especially when they get back clean plates.

Quality food that is a large size! Lovely atmosphere and the seating available is spacious. Vegetarian options are available and they cater to your needs.

A perfect lunch for two chatterboxes at this perfect meeting place. Great food and value. Great service, a gem in the heart of diss.

Always enjoy stopping here for brunch - if you can get a table! Really popular, tucked away down towards the Mere in Hales Yard, Food is always freshly prepared and there are often specials on the board to add a bit of variety. Friendly service and great atmosphere.

Friendly & efficient service. Always popular with the local population. ridiculous that I have to use 100 characters

Set back from the High Street, look out for the Katie’s Kitchen board at the top of Hales Yard. A couple of minutes walk and you will be in this characterful quaint cafe full of exposed light oak beams. The staff are all so friendly. The full English breakfast was tasty and plentiful with 2 sausages, 2 rashers of bacon, 2 free range eggs of your choice, sauté potatoes, mushrooms and beans. This is served with tea or coffee and two slices of proper bakery bread. Both the brown and white bread was delicious and very thick cut. There is no skimping on portions here! You can order a smaller breakfast or the vegetarian option. There are plenty of breakfast options - beans, cheese, eggs on toast, etc. The lunch time offerings looked fab too with daily specials. They also do homemade soup, sandwiches, paninis and jacket potatoes. We shared a toasted tea cake which was scrumptious. Unable to eat anymore at that time we took away lemon drizzle cake, coffee and walnut cake and a vegan crumble slice, all of which were delicious. The kitchen stops serving hot food at 2pm, it stated. There are tables inside and out. I can’t wait to return. Miss this at your peril!

I called here for coffee and cake whilst passing through Diss on a country walk. I always prefer to use a small independent cafe instead of the corporate chains if possible, and I stumbled upon Katie's by chance - it is tucked away in a side road and not on a main street, so whilst I was fortunate I guess unless you know it is here, other might easily miss it.

Doing a bit of a review of where to go for breakfast as my husband is trying his new car out !!!

I live in Diss to this is pretty much on my door step you order at the counter, i had a traditional English breakfast (made from local produce within Diss) - it is very freshly cooked, served on hot plates (although they ask if any food is for children so they can serve in cooler plates) The staff are friendly and cater well for your needs. I had pleasant experience visiting and eating here.

We live in Diss and this is our go to cafe for a traditional English breakfast - it is very freshly cooked, served on hot plates (although they ask if any food is for children so they can serve in cooler plates) and comes quickly. The staff are very friendly and let you move tables and chairs about to suit your group. Altogether a very pleasant experience and you leave feeling comfortably full!

Nice to see the new owners have kept the quality and customer service the same. Lovely local food cooked well at a good price. Keep up the good work

Visited Diss yesterday with a friend and decided to try Katies Kitchen for lunch based on reviews. We arrived at 12.30 and got the last table. The menu and specials board contained just what is needed at lunch time. It took us a while to decide what to have and then the really nice lady in charge warned us that there would be a bit of a delay due to them being so busy. The food was lovely. We didn't have room for a cake but there were some really good looking homemade cakes. Incredible value, lunch including a drink for just over £8.

Had a delicious small veggie breakfast with coffee and OJ and my wife had a lovely warm cheese scone and pot of tea. Really good food, warm friendly staff and very good value. Highly recommended.

Lovely breakfast today perfectly cooked lovely produce and very fresh and hot Excellent staff friendly and nothing to much trouble Would recommend highly Thank you

Superb atmosphere, very friendly, extremely clean and the full English breakfast was THE best I’ve ever eaten. Coffee was served in a huge mug, can’t recommend this place enough.

We popped in for coffee and cake and what a wonderful place. Very much like a good old fashioned tearoom and in a good way, we felt very unhurried and relaxed, staff lovely. The cakes are all homemade and my husband thoroughly recommends the chocolate layer cake! Will definitely be going back as soon as we can find an excuse!

We were here for a celebratory event for my friend. I have dietary requirements (vegan) and the staff had prepared an outstanding spread (with prior notice)! It included four different types of sandwiches, four different types of scrumptious cakes and also scones with jam, strawberries and spread. They were really friendly and the venue was a great setting for our afternoon

nice little cafe, friendly staff and fairly good breakfast, not greasy like others and more taste then other cafe will use again

I had lunch in Katie’s Kitchen yesterday with a friend. I found it when I searched for places to eat in Diss but was very surprised when we got there! It is tucked away near to the Mere and has a cosy friendly atmosphere. It was very busy (being lunchtime) and we had about a 15-20 minute wait for food which we were informed about when we ordered. When the food arrived it was delicious, homemade and obviously cooked to order. It was very reasonably priced and well presented. The lady who took our order and brought our food was extremely friendly and very apologetic about our wait, we were in no rush so it was not a problem. We will definitely eat here again!!

Had a lovely afternoon tea with my daughter-in-law and granddaughter today. Very cosy tea room; lovely big portions; great selection of sandwiches and cakes and best of all we had lovely service from all the staff there. Will be back very soon!

The best breakfast I have had for as long as I can remember. Great quality, well cooked and plenty of it

Popped into this Cafe today for lunch. Lovely little place. The food was fresh and the service was spot on. Will definitely visit again.

Totally average, food was stodgy and greasy spoon quality. Plastic table cloths. Would have got a three but the 'fresh juice' turns out to be nasty concentrate and the place was full of flies. Quite expensive too. Wouldn't go back.

Lovely hidden location and also great coffee, food looked amazing so will be back to try that soon!!

Katie's is tucked off the top of the High Street on the left if you're heading away from the Mere. The fare on offer is mainly breakfasts and light cooked meals, plus baked potatoes, panini, baguettes and sandwiches along with a selection of desserts. The choice of fillings is good and I recommend the bacon, brie and grape.

Called in for breakfast and what a lovely warm welcome. Very, very nice and cosy inside. Ordered 3 full English & Sausage sandwich for son. All cooked to perfection and one of the nicest breakfasts ever had. Well worth a visit. Highly recommended.

Absolutely fantastic. Great, helpful and attentive staff. Food was brilliant and went down a treat! Everything was cooked fresh and was faultless. We sat outside which was beautiful in the sun and every effort was make to ensure we had everything we needed. Will definitely be coming back here!

Friendly welcome tucked off the huddle off the high street - worth the extra 15 seconds walking trough the yard/access which is clearly signposted.

Stopped by this morning after visiting auctioneers at Diss, my wife and I both had full English and were not disappointed. Smashing breakfast at a reasonable price, polite and helpful staff and a quaint country cottage atmosphere. Will certainly be back when next in the Diss area.

We used to come here regularly but after moving haven't been in for a while. Popped in for brunch today and was not disappointed. Lovely fresh ingredients perfectly cooked. Staff always remember you and stop for a little chat, couldn't ask for better service, I'm sure the new owners will keep up the great work but Katie will be missed X Clare and Edward

Came in for breakfast , can’t say a bad word about the cafè, hot chocolate was perfect and both mine and my partners food was amazing. Hot plates to keep the food warm and staff so friendly! Will be back very soon.

Have eaten at Katie's Kitchen many times and have never been disappointed. Generous portions, all freshly cooked & served piping hot. Nice setting and outside seating by the Mere on a warm and sunny day. A treat well worth a visit.

I love having lunches in Katie’s Kitchen in Diss, it’s a hidden treasure. Healthy tasty and such friendly efficient service from Katie and her team. Yesterday I had my usual omelette and salad but this isn’t any omelette it’s the tastiest one for miles. For anyone like me on slimming world Katie and her staff will advise. My omelette was filled with lots of healthy veg and cheese then the salad had coleslaw. I always have a cuppa real pot of tea and tea cosy! Highly recommend you visit soon. I will probably be there having my lunch

As always we’ve enjoyed the best of breakfasts today at Katie’s Kitchen. We’ve never had anything less than tasty home cooked food at really reasonable prices, served up by lovely staff at Katie’s hence we come back time and time again and tell all our friends to pay a visit next time they are in Diss.

Just perfect breakfast again .. added extras , as always Katie Jo and Hayley were friendly welcoming and helpful . Lovely cafe with great food great staff and fabulous home made tea Cosey ❤️

Yummy food! We both had the chilli and it was so nice! Great and friendly atmosphere. We sat outside in the sunshine. Need to go back and explore more on the menu! Especially the cream tea!

This was our first visit. We received a friendly welcome. The coffee was very good. Our scone was fresh and tasty. Quite sweet decor. Very busy, even on a Monday.

I visited today and found the place buzzing with fellow visitors. The staff were very pleasant, friendly and appeared to cope very well with the influx of arriving diners. I had a cooked breakfast which came piping hot from an obviously busy kitchen. Very pleasant setting and I shared a table with another lone diner, who shared by view and experience.

Very welcoming clean and cosy little place with great food in particular the breakfast. No cheap greasy ingredients here., Highly recommended.

Mi madre y me encanta venir a Katie siempre nos visita. Diss La comida y la bebida siempre es deliciosa y buena calidad. El servicio siempre es excelente también. Siempre es recomendable.

Called in here not long ago for lunch, we decided that something from the light lunch menu would be fine. There was some confusion over what I had ordered which led to a short delay in my food arriving.The staff could not have been more apologetic, helpful or attentive. When my meal arrived it was excellent, a thoroughly enjoyable full English breakfast.I was really impressed by the customer service, the staff really go that extra mile.The restaurant is set in charming surroundings, lovely view of Diss Mere.Ideal for tea, coffee or lunch. Would recommend!

The service was good, a pleasant atmoshere and the breakfast was delicious. Surroundings were pretty and most of all the food was very hot. I can't stand luke warm cooked breakfasts. There's was hot, well cooked,with a nice runny yokes. A little too much for me, my own fault I went for the full English, 2 of everything. They do a smaller version as well. Which I will be having next time

Have been to Katie's kitchen many times, the food is always to a very high standard. Staff are obliging and helpful, even when really busy the atmosphere is always friendly, and the service is excellent. Have a very old Dad who loves to visit, he is always made so welcome.I would recommend Katie's for morning coffee and cake, home made scones, and superb lunches. Thank you.

Had given this place a miss a while ago but recommended to try it again now.What a transformation. Bright friendly welcome and space to both sit down comfortably without crowding others.Went for the all day breakfast ( well it was 1pm).Food arrived quickly, piping hot and a very full plate indeed. Lovely to see they use proper fresh ingredients of good quality and lots of it. Proper thick toast too just to top it off. Wife is fussy about certain things she doesn't like but they are happy to mix and match to suit everyone's tastes which is a nice touch.Very good value for money and left feeling very full and guilty that I had waited so long to try them out again.Needless to say it will be a very quick return back to try the rest of the menu!Best recommendation - try the full all day breakfast. I guarantee that you will not be disappointed.

We go most Saturdays for THE best cooked breakfast in Diss as well as going to Katie's for lunch during the week. The food is home cooked and delicious and all the girls who work there are so lovely & friendly led by Katie the owner.

Love Katie's Kitchen. Great food and fantastic staff!! Will definitely be back again when I'm in the area!!

This is a gem of a find. Great food, great service in a homely friendly atmosphere.A must if you are visiting this little market town!

My wife and I phoned Katie's to ask directions , once we found it we realised that we had been there before.We both ordered the large breakfast.The staff were very friendly ,service was prompt,food was great and will certainly return next time we're staying in Norfolk,we'll done to all the staff.

Our bike club visit Katie's regularly and it's always a popular choice. The staff are super friendly and helpful, even to a bunch of wet lycra clad cyclists (which has been quite often this winter). There's always a good selection of cakes and breakfasts / brunches available for very reasonable prices. It's a fairly small place so if you're in a big group it's worth phoning ahead and they're happy to reserve tables.

Great food, service , location , have only just discovered , will be back , highly recommended , especially the full english ! Home baked cakes look amazing , not yet sampled , best cappachino around

Delicious omlette and friendly staff. Found by accident down an archway but will definitely go back.

We were visiting family in Yaxley and went into diss . We have been to Katie's kitchen before so popped in again for breakfast . It was even better than before .,Really friendly staff , coffee is amazing . And the breakfast was to die for . Served on piping hot plates . Highly recommended and Katie is lovely too . Thank you we will definitely visit again

Stopped in Diss for lunch and spotted sign to Katie's Kitchen. Really friendly staff very helpful and good value. We both had the homemade quiche with salad, potatoes and would definitely recommend & pleased we found this nice establishment.

Met friends for coffee but decided to have a breakfast - very tasty served on hot plate with lovely toast, standard very high, great staff

Decided to stop off at Katie's Kitchen on route to a sporting fixture in Norfolk.A very warm welcome, friendly attentive staff, lovely food.Couldn't ask for anymore and didn't want to leave!The food was fresh, hot and very tasty.Would recommend it highly.Staff and chef take great pride in their work, I look forward to visiting again when I am in the area.

Exceptionally friendly, especially when we turn up with our Newfoundland, Teddy! Very nice food, good coffee. hidden away but nice to sit out too.

Visited today and met old friends, great place with friendly staff and homely surroundings. Food was great and very fresh. A place not to miss if your in or near Diss.

October 15th had coffee and superb freshly made Scone's with my wife, our first visit but not our last.

I discovered Katie's about a year ago and have regularly visited whenever I am in Diss. The food is excellent, especially the pastries. The staff are always welcoming, efficient and friendly. I thoroughly recommend Katie's.

We pop in whenever we shop in Diss. You won't find friendlier service anywhere, whether you're just having a pot of tea or sampling the lunch menu. They've even got a gluten free menu. Cosy cafe in winter, lovely to sit out and look at the mere in summer.Service with a smile - sets you up for the day.

I have visited many cafes and coffee shops within the Diss area and this is by far the very best. The staff are very friendly and always make you feel welcome and at home. The service is excellent. The food is always cooked freshly and to a brilliant standard. There is always the option to tailor the food around your dietary requirements, all you have to do is ask Katie and she will do her very best. I really like the fact that the place is not stuffy or snobby, its just very relaxing and welcoming. Katie's Kitchen is also spotlessly clean. Very good value for money. Keep up the good work. Will see you again very soon. Thank you

I've been more than once. Great cafe, the food is lovely. As for the service, it's outstanding. Even the building it has charm and character. You couldn't wish for anything more.

I popped in here for a coffee and ended up having a meal as the food looked so tempting! Very friendly welcoming staff that made me feel right at home. Great selection of yummy food and quick service. Treat yourself and go in - you won't be disappointed

The menu really good, service was fab, warm welcome and lovely coffee . The staff are fab and very helpful . Would go back and take my daughter as the gluten free menu would be just right for her.

Easily missed by some which is a shame. as I don't think you will find a more friendly cafe in Diss High Street. We regularly pop in for Breakfast with our 3 year old (just) Grandson as he loves the food, so do we!! Staff are very attentive. Really well cooked food. Honestly worth a visit.

My favorite place to eat in the area, always a warm welcome, service is excellent, food is great, lots of choice, including gluten free options. We love to meet up there as a family and often take the grandkids, who are always made very welcome !

I popped into Katie's kitchen after a long journey to visit family and having been stuck on the a12 for 2 1/2 hrs needed a late lunch . We got there at 1.45 ordered a decaf late and a pot of tea . I bacon and I sausage sandwich . The coffee was amazing and the tea pot came with its own tea cosy which I presume was hand knitted . Very nice to see !!The sandwiches were amazing full of bacon and sausage the home made coleslaw was to die for as was the salad !! Will visit every time Im up this way visiting family .Katie your just amazing !!!

We were looking for somewhere to grab a coffee and a spot of breakfast and stumbled across Katie's Kitchen. It's such a lovely little place with adorable cottage-like furnishings and seating outside if the weather is nice. The staff are so friendly and can't do enough for you. I am on a special diet and asked if I could have something a bit different and they adjusted their menu to fit my needs, even showing me some of the ingredients so I could make the right decision. I had poached eggs and baked beans, and my husband had the full English which he says was brilliant and consisted of proper sausages and bacon, not the cheap type you would get at your average caff! All of it was at a very reasonable price. A perfect place for breakfast, or an afternoon tea or coffee break. An ideal place to take your Mum or meet the girls, but I'd take my husband back for the breakfast!

Great food, great prices, great staff! Lovely, quaint little café tucked away down beside Larter & Ford, its a gem!!

I come to Katie's kitchen for breakfast or lunch whenever I am in Diss because her food is the best in the whole town. There is plenty of choice and everything is homemade and delicious! Throughly recommended.

We chanced upon this cafe in a town centre courtyard close to the Mere. Very friendly welcome and a cosy homely atmosphere. Menu offers good choice - quiches, jacket potatoes, omelettes, sandwiches, soup etc. as well as some specials. You order at the counter, we had omelettes and smoked salmon bagel which came with big side salad and coleslaw. Large portions here, I had to ask for a doggy bag! Limited choice of drinks though the tea we had was good and nicely presented in a proper teapot with a knitted cosy. Recommend this cafe for a convenient and very pleasant quick lunch.

It's been a little while since visiting Katie's Kitchen but the quality of food nevers fails to amaze me and the staff are very friendly and cannot do enough for you.The menu is always varied with many different teas and coffees.Katie does the cooking and everyone who I take in there is very impressed. This is the best cafe in Diss!
