Mad Hatters Tea Shop in South Norfolk

An absolutely wonderful cafe. Often I go to a cafe and aren't always too comfortable but this one was amazing. The lady (owner?)was instantly kind and welcoming to my friend and I (and every customer thereafter) as soon as we stepped through the door. She made you feel like a valued customer and like nothing was too much trouble. The jacket potato we had was lovely, generous size and so tasty with a lovely salad too. Its not often these days you get homemade coleslaw. It was so lovely and one of the nicest meals and experiences I've had with dining out in recent memory. Thank you for being so welcoming and making such a lovely inviting cafe. Will definitely be running. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This place provides a lovely selection of home cooked food my husband had the cheese & onion pasty with salad, slaw and chutney and I had the ginger scone with lemon curd, both were delicious. The service was also excellent, very quick and friendly can’t wait to return.

Without a doubt the best cafe for miles around - pity it's so small and doesn't take dogs. The best tea I've had away from home for a long time and a simply mahoosive sausage and bacon sarnie for an extremely reasonable price. Do go there - it'd be rude not to!

Attended yesterday at the last minute as fancied a hot drink. The lovely owner although on her own and very busy served up a nice coffee with an excellent home made by her ginger scone and lemon curd. The best cake type treat I had ever tasted. My wife had a cream tea with huge fresh plain scone with accompanying raspberry jam and abundance of fresh Cornish clotted cream - accompanied with both freeze dried raspberries and fresh raspberries. Served on slate and wooden trays the presentation was superb which prepared for the wonderful treat to follow. A wonderful place to visit and we will go back when in the area again, as the sandwiches and other cakes/savouries looked of the same standard 👍

A very friendly and cozy cafe. The ladies were very accommodating and helped us find a table as we were an odd number of people. The food was delicious. The bacon sandwich, carrot and coriander soup and the scones were to die for. Really enjoyed the Chai latte too. Look forward to returning another time.

The coffee’s wonderful, Chocolate and Orange cake fantastic, the Ginger Scones light big and excellent. The rest of the offerings very appealing. And the ambiance and welcoming atmosphere is very warm.

Delicious cake and great friendly service. Couple of tables out the front or few tables and seating inside.

The afternoon tea was superb. Nice sandwiches, sausage roll, scones and delicious cakes. A good selection of tea or coffee. Excellent service and a really good experience. Well worth a visit in nice surroundings

A lovely tea shop, with a good choice of excellent food and drink. I can certainly recommend the ginger scone and lemon curd - and my husband had a sausage sandwich - totally delicious! Thank you to the ladies, who are extremely nice and work very hard - keep up the good work.

What a fabulously friendly place , lovely serving team , fab food and coffee . Stopped for a snack and drink. Scones were absolutely spot on , warm cheesy delicious ,

This is a lovely little tea/coffee shop. I went this morning with my sister we had a lovely cappuccino and ginger scone with lemon curd. Very well presented, very reasonable priced and lovely staff

My second visit here for afternoon tea. Really fresh and tasty. It was nice to see the savoury items being displayed on a slate board, so nicely presented too. Staff are really friendly. Extremely well priced. I can certainly recommend this lovely little Tea Shop, you won’t be disappointed.

Fantastic little cafe! Food and service faultless. Recommend the bacon sandwich - my husband said it was the best he’s ever had! Will be back! Thanks

A lovely afternoon tea. We even took some home. Booked via Facebook messenger great service . Nice cosy seating inside and some outside. Great service sarnies. Sausage roll scones cake as much tea as you could drink Brill thanks.

We stopped in for tea and scones and couldn’t fault the food, staff or ambiance. The scones and cakes were top notch and service was super efficient. The staff seemed so happy in their work - they made me want to open a tea shop! They were also super surprised and grateful when I popped back with a tip once I had some cash…such pleasant service really did deserve it!

Very convenient location by the little outside market You can sit outside if the weather is nice. Had delicious soup and my partner had a "savoury tea" with a cheese scone, home made chutney, salad, etc. it was all perfectly made and beautifully presented. The tea itself was top quality tea, we could not have asked for nicer. Helpful friendly service and very reasonable prices. Can't really think of anything to criticise about this little gem!

Tend to come mainly for teas, coffees and the lovely range of home baking; but there is good selection of light lunch food as well.

After getting stuck in traffic we made an unscheduled stop in Wymondham and chanced upon the mad hatters tea shop. We had a tasty late lunch and the staff were delightful!

This is a great little cafe. Very friendly staff. We had a sandwich absolutely bursting with prawns and another with coronation chicken. Vintage china too. Always the highlight of a visit to Wymondham!

We sat outside and watched the world go by whilst enjoying the most delicious Sausage Roll and salad, for desert we couldn’t resist the cherry bakewell cake which was light and so very tasty. Would highly recommend

An excellent central cafe in the town centre: good coffee and great cakes / buns. Limited seating constrains capacity and product range / offer.

I had the ginger scone with ginger preserve from the specials board. What a delight! The service was fast, friendly and welcoming. Would certainly visit again, prices were very reasonable as well

A lovely friendly teashop in Wymondham, the food is fresh and lovely and the service is very good. Nice music too. Its a tad small and I feel squashed in there but it's very nice so we often go there.

A GREAT Tea shop to go to, the staff are extremely friendly and welcoming and you get a good choice of food and homemade cakes and the flapjacks were AMAZING!!!!!

Popped in here the other Saturday afternoon for a coffee and hot Chocolate Very friendly staff who were only to happy to help Food was tasty and hotWe will be going back here again soon as we both enjoyed itKeep up the good work mad hatters

It is a happy cafe with delicious cakes, sausage rolls, etc., The staff are friendly and welcoming and Katherine is a friend as we have been going to the cafe for several years.

As part of a larger outing we stopped off at this delightful tea shop for refreshment. The home-made cakes were delicious, moist and succulent, and well made pot of tea completed the pit stop. Not pricey either so well worth a visit if you're Wymondham way.

Stopped off in Wymondham for a coffee and came across this gem of a little café. The coffee was good - we were offered the choice of one shot or two, and mugs were a good size and filled right up. The cheese scone was really delicious. Service was excellent. Good value for money too. Would strongly recommend.

Everything about this cafe exceeded expectation ! Super welcoming staff ( everyone ! ), proactive, attentive & accommodating service and a really delicious cream tea...all within a very ‘quaint’ set up. Wymondham itself is worth diverting to on a tour of Norfolk. It’s got a ‘homely’, local feel - people interacting and acknowledging one another ( including strangers ! ) and has within it everything from a very ‘handsome’ Abbey to a Needlework shop and a ‘straight from the farm’ butchers. A worthwhile hour...

Popped in on the off chance for lunch. Lovely, down to earth staff who clearly understand the principles of customer service. Fab food, freshly cooked to order and very tasty Definitely worth a visit.

Had a delicious iced coffee and slice of coffee cake. Took another slice home with me for later! Lovely ladies, hard working and always friendly.

We visited based on Trip reviews. This is a lovely small cafe and clearly popular. I'd guess it sits around 14. We were lucky in getting a table. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and the food home made. Definately worth a visit.

On a recent day trip by coach from Lowestoft to Dereham Windmill and Wymondham Abbey with some friends we had a few hours to spend in Wymondham. As the weather was awful we decided to look for somewhere to get a pot of tea and the Mad Hatters Tea Shop was just across the road. What a treasure. This place is a delight. It was cosy with a pleasant atmosphere. The staff were friendly and helpful and the tea and food excellent. Will certainly be visiting again. Check it out.

Having used to live and work in Wymondham for twenty years, I thought I had tried every pub, cafe and eateries that this little town had to offer...how WRONG was I??

They are so nice in here, you are always welcomed warmly. The tea menu is extensive and the food is nice. It’s very small in here so be prepared to share a table and you won’t get much privacy.

Stopped by a for light lunch. It's a delightful little tea shop, very prettily decorated. The homemade sausage roll is a must. Very friendly staff and great service.

Popped in for lunch on a chilly spring day. Opted for chilli jacket potato and coffee. Lovely potato, perfect texture with loads of filling and nice side salad. Lovely friendly staff. Very cosy and welcoming. Well worth a visit

Never been before - popped in for lunch - so much choice - cakes were homemade and amazing - jacket potatoes yummy - loved the miss match China ..... staff so very lovely and friendly - warm welcome atmosphere on a chilly day .... a must visit .... thank you all

We called into the Mad Hatters this morning and had a cheese and a fruit scone and 2 coffees bothe the scones were very tasty and the coffee was just right .The staff were friendly and helpful and next time we are in Wymondham we will call in again.

A treat for my birthday with daughters and granddaughters. A lovely tearoom, lovely food, lovely atmosphere. Staff extremely attentive. Great choice of sandwiches and home made cakes and scones. Took home some sausage rolls, really tasty. Will definitely return. Thank you.

Visited with friends for lunch. It's a small cafe with only a few tables so can be difficult to get in, however we managed to get a table. Food is nice and at a reasonable price. Service was ok. Definitely will go back.

I went with a friend for afternoon tea. We were greeted at the door by 3 lovely ladies who had set us a reserved table (you must book for afternoon tea) near the window overlooking the market place and market cross.

Very small cafe but adorable just the same . Good selection of cakes and lunch items. Inexpensive and with great service . Highly recommended.

Came here for a tea and scone as it looked absolutely adorable outside , it was one the loveliest tea rooms I’ve been in , the service was very friendly and fast .. the scones and tea was lovely and served so beautifully also .. I will definitely visit this tea room again

Went in for morning tea. My husband had a fruit scone warm from the oven. It was really good. Highly recommended place to go. Only a small shop but delightful. Staff were very welcoming.

Great friendly service and wonderful food. The selection of cakes are amazing and the walls are covered with some great litte gift ideas.

This was our third visit to this stunning cute little place. We love it! The team is super friendly and you just want to stay there:) the coffee is really good-I had a cappucino served in a lovely cup. We also had a lemon cake which was very nice. The place is small but cosy and decorated with love. It’s a pleasure to drink coffee there and we will definately be back next time we visit Wymondham:)

Just had a lovely autumnal stroll around Wymondham and needed a coffee. We sat outside (yes in November!) and as I popped in to order one of the ladies was already on the way to see us, menus in hand and with a lovely warm, genuine welcome! The cosy little cafe was so inviting and smelled like home cooked heaven!

Forget your chain cafes and visit this place. It may be small and cosy but its worth the effort. Really good food and service in the old fashioned way. Tea and coffee made properly, fresh cakes and sandwiches to name but a few. Its located by the town square and if its busy its worth waiting for a place. Would I return? Oh yes.

Just called in for a cup of tea and a scone. The welcome was warm and genuine.

Stopped off at this delightful little tearoom, table service is available. Decided to have a jacket potato, ham and cheese it was served just how i like it. Hot and very tasty. Would tell yoy all if you are in the area i can reccomend thi lovely little tea room.

We came here for our son's 21st, knowing only a little about it. All of us were delighted with the delicious tea and the girls who served us. The atmosphere is friendly and the owner gently humorous.What we were unable to eat, we took home to enjoy later. What a change form the chains! Vive la difference! Highly recommended for all who enjoy tea and an independent shop.

Initial thoughts were that we had entered down the rabbit hole when the owner of the café spoke to us in a broad Norfolk dialect which we did not understand ; only to be answered by one of our party in a broad north of Scotland accent which also in turn lacked comprehension on the part of the cafe owner (… " two nations divided by language ", to slightly paraphrase Churchill ). However, after approaching this problem in true British fashion ( i.e. raising one's voice and enunciating slowly, the message was received and understood ). Back to the café. The venue is quite small but comfortable. Unfortunately we arrived late in the afternoon, so menu was reduced in content, however the overall ambience and a really good cup of tea in china cups made up for the limited fare. Staff were extremely nice and chatty which made the visit most enjoyable.

4 cheeky golfers from Scotland had super tea & cakes here whilst in the town. The staff were cheery and so helpfull and the home made cakes were delicious. we bought some sausage rolls to eat on our journey home and they were so good. Next time we visit we will purchase the lot. Well done girls - its places like this that make the holiday so good.

An amazing characterful coffee shop with fabulous cakes, a 'must visit' when in Wymondham. Popped in for an afternoon coffee and cake, I selected the last piece of lemon sponge and the waitress duly wrote down my order. A couple came in shortly afterwards and ordered the same piece of lemon sponge and it was served to them!! The waitress clearly forgot to process my order!! But to the establishment's credit I was given a piece of chocolate cake on the house. So ten out of ten for customer service and thus five stars on here. We all make errors at times.

Popped in with my two teenage daughters we had a toasty, panini and sandwich, all came with a small salad dressing and tea cup of crisps. Very tasty and lots of filling. Cake for pudding was fresh and delicious too! Shop got busy so service a little slow, I really would have liked my tea pot topped u with fresh water, but upon request I did get a small extra jug of water. Daughter noticed some cutlery that could had some food on, just needed a check and polish. Overall very good though.

I went here after reading they had vegan options but unfortunately they only had vegan brownies in the freezer. They offered to defrost for me but I declined. The rest of their cakes looked great, my non vegan family members had the cream tea and the lemon cake which they said were lovely. It’s sooooo easy to make vegan cakes, which everyone can eat, people can’t tell the difference - it’s a shame there wasn’t more of a selection, especially now that veganism is hugely on the increase.

Popped in for some lunch and overall had a lovely experience. The food was great; I had the homemade sausage roll which was absolutely amazing. Staff were really friendly and Service was brilliant. I'll be seeing you again soon!!

This was our first visit to this lovely little tea shop. As soon as we stepped inside we were warmly greeted by the very friendly Maz and Katherine. Looking around everything was neat, tidy and clean and the counter was decorated with a tempting array of large cakes. We had toasted tea cakes, the best we have ever had. They were filled with fruit and served with loads of butter and made by Katherine. This is a wonderful old English style tea shop with great food at fair prices and we are so pleased we stopped by.

Whilst shopping in Wymondham I called at this lovely tea room although small it makes up for it by serving the biggest sausage rolls they are amazing tea is served in a teapot with milk in a mini milk bottle staff are friendly and attentive this tea room tends to be busy and have just two tables outside but if you can’t get in first time I urge you to return it’s worth a visit they have a range of beautiful homemade cakes and quite a varied menu I shall definitely return prices are very reasonable

Was taken to Mad Hatters Tea shop as a treat from my two friends as has been caring for my husband time very ill. We had lovely scones and tea there. Will visit again, when time allows.

Wow fabulous food x fabulous service and very reasonably priced. My partner fell in love with the sausage rolls. Can very highly recommend and I'm very fussy.

Popped into Mad Hatters with the grandma for a midweek cup of tea. Absolutely wonderful service, very friendly and welcoming. Delicious and generously sized scones (we tried fruit and cheese) and hands down one of the best sausage rolls we have ever had. Small (but light) inside - no problem getting a seat as it was midweek but I imagine it would get busy of a weekend. Top marks all round, we will be returning for the very reasonably priced afternoon tea. Highly recommended.

Went in for a mid week lunch at The MadHatters last week. I didn’t know what to expect with a little tea shop in the town centre. Why did I worry??

Our favourite teashop hands down. I had the most amazing afternoon tea for.my birthday yesterday as a surprise from my husband and I couldn't have wished to be looked after any better. The food was delicious and the tea was lovely as always. I was incredibly touched by how attentive Catherine and her staff were and the trouble they took to make my birthday special and I can't thank you all enough. Looking forward to seeing you again very soon. If you're ever anywhere near enough to Norwich/Wymondham to stop by, you won't regret it, bit be warned that booking in advance is sensible because it's a cosy and extremely popular venue. Xx

Visited brunch time this morning with my mum. We both had coffee and a bacon &sausage; bap for mum and for me a hot homemade sausage roll. We sat outside all fine but it is the sausage roll I am going to enthuse over as the proportion of meat to pastry was perfect and the pastry was sublime. Clearly I adore a great sausage roll and this scored a 10. My neighbours had a v early cream tea and the presentation may tempt my sweet tooth next visit. Staff v friendly. Top marks.

Small, but perfectly formed, this pleasant tea room is a delightful stop. Very pleasant staff and a top quality brew. Cakes looked very good, but opted for fruit scone which was delicious. I am sure the other fayre is equally good, and good value too. Definitely will 're visit when in the area

My daughter and I visited this lovely coffee shop on our day out as it was a beautiful hot day we choose to sit outside there is only two tables no room for more we went inside to look at the cakes etc which all looked delicious we choose a sausage roll as it was large and we were having lunch later we decided to share our waitress was very accommodating our piece of sausage roll was each served on a wooden board with a little pot of brown sauce it tasted every bit as good as it looked our tea was in a teapot with china cups the prices were very reasonable and the service was excellent I can highly recommend a visit to this tea shop

Bought my friend an afternoon tea voucher for Xmas and she kindly invited me to join her. This is my third visit to this charming tea room for afternoon tea. The food is always excellent quality, the cakes are to die for and the service and attention is admirable. Have already booked again for my birthday, bringing my daughter, granddaughter and grandson. Really looking forward to returning. Maybe the could start a loyalty card scheme!!

What a lovely place! Welcoming, attentive and helpful staff (visited on a Saturday afternoon) and the afternoon tea of delicious sandwiches, scones and cakes was lovely with generous portions. I was very impressed with the attention to small details e.g. fresh raspberries on the jam and cream that made the experience extra special. We will definitely be back!

We stumbled across this lovely little place when we were passing through Wymondham. Really friendly atmosphere, a decent cuppa a delicious home cooked cake. What's not to like?

Lovely little cafe people friendly lovely cake coffee especially scones sandwiches so tasty too would highly recommend visit.

Such a lovely atmosphere, only a few tables but the coziness adds to its charm

All tea rooms were half as good as this one and had such lovely ladies in charge we would all need to go on a diet. Wonderful atmosphere, food either savoury or sweet equally splendid, impossible to fault, from someone known to his friends as captain cynical this is praise indeed.

The best place for a tea or coffee etc. The toasted tea cakes are the best in Wymondham. The sausage roll and cakes in fact everything tastes beautiful and is all homemade. For a special treat treat they make a really lovely Afternoon Tea.

Popped in without booking this afternoon with our 3 children. It was small but they managed to re shuffle and were very accommodating.

Popped in with my son for a milkshake. Lovely quaint and cosy atmosphere with such friendly and welcoming staff.

Visited for the first time and was very impressed, lovely tea room, very tasty home cooked food and great customer service. Highly recommended. Can't wait to visit again. I had the autumn specials of apple and pork sausage roll and pumpkin spiced latte which they happily did as a skinny drink for me.

Had a full Cream Tea, which was excellent( pre booking highly recommended for this) . Very tasty sandwiches, and wonderful scones. Good range of tea's too. Children loved the cakes, said they were "yummy". Very good customer service. Highly recommended.

Popped in here while having a wander around Wymonham. As soon as we came in the ladies serving were so friendly & attentive. The food we ordered was delicious, very high quality & homemade. Would definitely recommend this place to locals & to tourists.

The atmosphere and staff were so hospitably and treated all customers with the highest amount of courtesy and nothing is to much trouble.

Called in for a cuppa and what a delight it was too. Tea served in China cups, fab chocolate cake and the wonderful aroma of freshly baked teacakes just out of the oven. The ladies there are so friendly. Will return when next in the area.

Visited for my usual Americano and bacon sandwich. Didn't disappoint!Friendly welcome and great qaulity food!

I visited Wymondham with an orchestra and ended up with hours and hours spare. I happened across this delightful tearoom and it couldn't have been better. The staff were incredibly friendly and efficient, and the interior of the shop was amazing. With twee teapots, mugs and other cute items on every wall and surface, retro music playing in the background and beautiful presentation of both drunk and food, the Mad Hatters Tea Shop was aesthetically glorious. This was just the beginning though, as the food and drink not only looked great but tasted divine too. I would highly recommend both the Mediterranean veg panini and the toasted tea cake I had, and any of the teas! The cafe is cash-only but with cash points within a 30-second reach, this is no problem at all. This place is a treasure and must not be missed!

Popped to wymondham to visit the Abbey,had a walk through the town and found this tearoom.Quaint, vintage tearoom,small but lovely,very clean,friendly staff and the food was lush,we both had a savoury afternoon tea,just out of the oven cheese scone,yum yum,definitely worth a visit,and a bargin at 4.65 with a pot of tea! :):)

Just returned from an afternoon tea with friends at this delightful little cafe.I absolutely love afternoon teas and have sampled a great deal in Norfolk and am pleased to say this was one of the best I've had !!!The cafe is beautifully decorated in Cath Kidston style with vintage crockery and cake stands. All the staff are extremely welcoming and friendly which adds to the experience of a relaxing visit.You are given your own cake stand with sandwiches of your choice. I had coronation chicken and prawn which were delicious. Plenty of filling!!! A small side salad and cup of crisps accompanied them. The scone was large and tasty with clotted cream and jam with strawberry garnish. You are given a choice of a large slice of one of their delicious homemade cakes (had to take ours home as too full ) and a shortbread finger.Thoroughly recommend this delightful cafe and shall be back very soon. Many thanks

Excellent food, cute decor. Well worth a visit. Homemade scones and cakes were great. Will visit again.
