Lighthouse Cafe in North Norfolk

Atmospheric in feeling God's Love

Fabulous community space. Kids play area, amazing cafe at great prices compared to the other local establishments and a really good charity shop. A must visit place in Sheringham and you will be supporting a great community organisation.

Great Chair Pilates Monday and Friday

A warm welcome and a good set up. The vicar faithfully proclaimed the gospel and the music was current and engaging.

Friendly, helpful staff and excellent value for money.

Friendly staff, cheap menu but great food. Nice soft play area for under 5's too.

Attended a meeting with 40 others. Plenty of room and good toilets.

Great Venue fir a variety of gatherings

Used the rooms and cafe for a staff away day. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Lovely to be in a coastal town so we could all take a break and have time to see the sea.

Great food. Good for Gluten Free. Tasty sandwiches, wraps .. Was so good we went to eat there twice!

You can feel the holy spirit is with you.

We popped in to get out of the rain and to no surprise the cafe was really busy, they have a great choice of ales and some beautiful cakes and amazing views. The service was quick and with a smile we look forward to going back in better weather.

Great place! Staff who work in the cafe are all really polite and friendly, even helpful. The kids lunch box meal is fab👍. Then there's the soft play area which is fantastic for little one's. This place is a credit to sheringham. I highly recomend this place even if its for a coffe/tea.

Lovely community centre - holiday Slimming World weigh in!

Lovely clean place, good food & very friendly service, Prices are very reasonably, & a good selection on the menu, Will be going again soon,

My church in Sheringham God lives here

Great worship place and community hub. Worth visiting.

Everyone was very friendly and helpful and we had a lovely lunch. There even was parking. We hope to come back soon with our little grandson so he can enjoy the soft play area.

Fabulous and uplifting worship. Cafe with lovely food. Soft play for toddlers. Youth work. Over 60's group. It's a definite recommendation from me 😁👍🏻

Accessible building with carpark ( often full) as it shingle it's not brilliant for wheelchairs

My first time at lighthouse...it was good..friendly and the coffee was most welcome as the heater was on the blink..different from other services id been too and i really enjoyed it....worth popping in next week

Great friendly church, where you will always will receive a warm welcome. Good to be part of a church that has a real heart for the community.

A wonderful little theatre , with a good range of events. Happy caring staff and an excellent cafe.

As a modern, newly built church, this is a good space and offers other amenities apart from worship. There is a coffee bar and they also serve food, a play area for children, and activities upstairs, such as table tennis. The main room is available for hire and a great space. There is a car park in front of the building and this can prove a bit of a challenge, in that the bays are angled and not clearly defined. When it rains heavily, the area closest to the road floods and effectively prevents anyone from parking in several bays, and unless you are a ditch diver it cuts off the access at the pavement, children love it though, it is huge! There are 2 disabled parking bays in the at the top near the doors and these are on a paved area, not gravel like the rest. In the main hall area the heating is under foot and ventilation is via some incredibly noisy mechanics in the ceiling/roof, which open and close via sensors, so they either drop cold air on you, chilling and surprising, or they drown out whoever is speaking with the noise of them opening! Needless to say, it's a great community area and as such offers a lot of people exactly what they need.

Very lovely place, good for Food and drinks, the soft play is very good for kids as well.

Very enjoyable, made very welcome, and good preaching! Thank you.

Great, lovely spiritual place to praise God. Welcoming and good coffee.

We've visited this cafe on previous years when we've been holidaying in the area and were disapointed this year to find that there's been no improvements overall. The service is desperately slow given the orders placed were for nothing complicated and well within the capabilities of a competent cook. There was very little communication from the staff. I would expect someone to come and enquire if everything was to our liking, or if we would like more to drink etc. We ordered a toasted sandwich each, which came with a small side salad. The toasties were fine, although the salad accompaniments didn't contain the same quantities of ingredients and rather bizarrely had a helping of plain crisps as a secondry garnish?! We would have liked there to be something on the tables to "advertise" the church and/or the Christian aspect of the set-up and maybe the use of Church type, rather than secular music playing in the background would be a good step forward. We are always happy to support church projects, as The Lighthouse Cafe obviously is, but we do hope that there will be significant steps forward over the next 12 months before we visit again.

Excellent service and value - friendly welcome

If you run a place like this I don't suppose you need to worry too much about the service and repeat business. We arrived at 10.10, queued to place our order 10.20 ,order delivered 10.30 ( incorrect order ) went back to counter 10.35 to collect the promised replacement , left 10.45 . 35 minutes for two coffees and a bun ! They could quadruple the takings by training the staff and reorganising the work flow.

Lovely place to catch up with friends and let the kids play in the soft play.

A very warm welcome, and enjoyed the free tea/ coffee set up before the service on Sunday. Several people made a point of chatting to us, and the welcome pack included a chocolate bar, what’s not to like? Inspiring service, with a good take-away message about dealing with grief. Easy access to the spotless toilets. Soft play area looks good. Not open every day though.

Lovely and clean good atmosphere friendly staff

Lovely food staff and space for both adults and children

I enjoyed the coffee and cake after our long walk and gave us fuel to walk back, its lovely in summer as sitting outside is like sitting on the deck of a ship

A lively, welcoming and friendly church. Brilliant worship songs including Rend Collective and Stuart Townsend. I always love going to worship there when I'm in the area.

We went there while on holidays in the UK, our daughter & son in law who live in cromer and they had suggested we try it, good food good service

Great place for table tennis on Monday evenings. So friendly.

Lovely little cafe staffed mainly by volunteers. Free parking and only five minutes walk from Sheringham High Street and station.

Lighthouse Cafe is a light, airy and spacious meeting place. You could be forgiven for thinking that this is just a modern cafe with a soft play area. Look a little closer and you will see that this is a great shop window for the Lighthouse Cafe at Lighthouse Community Church. Not that it matters as everyone is welcome whether you have any kind of faith or none at all. What makes Lighthouse Cafe is the warmth of welcome and attention to small details. Harassed parents will welcome the safe, soft play area which is visible from the cafe. If baby food needs heating nothing is too much trouble for Maggie and her able team of volunteers. The cafe is in immaculate condition with food hygiene excellent (5 stars). Holiday makers and day trippers will be able to receive advice about the area and WiFi is available. It has an incredible atmosphere and you will come away feeling refreshed and believing there is a local community who care about the individual and families too.

We often visit this cafe when we visit Cromer. If you can get a seat on the veranda, the views over the sea are great. The food is of a high standard and very fresh. They deserve their popularity.

So lovely to be sure of a warm welcome and a good fairctrade coffee. Children's lunch boxes are very good value, and healthy too.

This café has a wonderful view over a beach that is well frequented and popular with walkers. It is well worth a visit as the service is good and the food is excellent. There is a certain level of quality to the place.

Great for rainy says with my 2 year old. Food is good value but they don't always get it right

When I first visited Lighthouse cafe it was with a friend for the obligatory catch up over coffee and I have been back a number of times since! The staff are always friendly and welcoming and unlike many cafes you don't feel at all rushed as you enjoy your drink. I was so impressed with the look of the food that the next time I came for lunch and was not disappointed! One of my favourite things about the cafe is that it is extremely ethical in all that it does with a large selection of fair trade products on top of all the tea and coffee. While I always enjoy going here for a chat it is the best cafe in Sheringham to take a young family to as there is also a FREE soft play area, alas I am too big to be able to give a first hand account but judging from the laughter it is well enjoyed by the younger patrons.

We popped in here for coffee and decided to try lunch as we hadn't eaten here before and it looked good, I had crab sandwiches and my partner had belly pork ,we had coffee to drink. Although the restaraunt was busy we were served drinks promptly and the server was polite and smiley . The food arrived at about the right time and was a pleasure to look at and to eat ,I am a chef and I am a bit fussy ,this was fresh ,hot and beautifully presented so compliments to all staff they have this just right ,and it will be recommended to friends and family and anyone else I speak to.

We popped in by accident - having walked from Overstrand to Cromer the kids were desperate to sit down and the walk into town (despite only being another 5 mins) might have taken them over the edge. We were surprised to see vegan options on the menu. My husband and I both had soup and the kids had a platter with focaccia, really tasty hummous and salad/carrot sticks. We went back a second day and had carrot cake which was a bit on the dry side but ok.

It is obviously a very popular place, was very busy on the day I visited; very welcome shelter from the elements. Get a seat by the window for endless people-watching down below on the beach! What a cosy place.

Amazing church, great community!

Great place of Christian worship on a Sunday morning, and fab café with soft play from Tue-Sat mornings

This is a super coffee shop with outside seating with a great view of Cromer pier and the beach. The staff are young students who are very good at what they do. The menu is local fish and crab and very good and it changes week to week.

The volunteers who work here are so helpful and friendly. They serve a good selection of drinks and snacks all very reasonably priced.

Always lots of choice on the specials board

This is a stunning modern building, crisp clean contemporary decor, yet really inviting. Not really what you would expect in a small seaside town, and far away from normal pre-conceptions of a church cafe, for that is effectively what it is. There is plenty of parking space, and the cafe is only 5 minutes from the town centre and 10 minutes from the beach. There is always a warm friendly welcome from the efficient staff, and a good selection of snacks and light lunches, at very competitive prices. The coffee, supplied by Kingdom Coffee is excellent. Even the normal filter coffee is great - they tell me they use a Honduras bean, but the speciality coffees really are superb. This place is a real asset to Sheringham.
