Market Cross Restaurant in Breckland

Met with a friend for lunch. Lovely venue, lovely food (but rather pricey!) When we came to pay,the owner was rather abrupt! Perhaps we overstayed our welcome?! 🙃

We were having a wander around the delightful Swaffham market shops and fancied a cup of tea and a coffee so decided on the Market Cross Cafe Bar because it looked so fabulous from the outside, with the ivy growing around it. The building is a former pub dating back to 1789 and closed in 1903, was then a private house and Kay Wells opened it as a cafe bar in 2008. I had a lovely Camomile citrus tea and we decide to eat. Believe it or not that’s the small breakfast in the photo! Absolutely delicious. My partner had mushrooms and tomatoes on toast and she thought they were the nicest mushrooms she’d had for ages. Well worth a visit.

Lovely spot for lunch in a sunny day. It’s right in the centre of town and by the free car park. You do need to enter your number plate to park. On a sunny day it was lovely to sit outside. Food was lovely and fresh. Amazing chocolate cake.

We enjoyed a delicious cooked breakfast sitting outside. Great coffee. Service was a bit slow but it was a Sunday so it wasn’t a problem for us. The food was well worth the wait - one of the tastiest breakfasts I’ve had for a long time. Would definitely return if I’m in the area again.

Visited on a Sunday morning wasn't overly busy. We sat down and the staff took around 10 minutes to come and serve us. Once we ordered our drinks came then the extortionate wait for two breakfasts of over an hour. The ingredients were good quality and tasty however because of the long wait we then needed extra drinks. Upon going to pay we were advised the bill was nearly £40 for 2 breakfast, 2 lattes and a pot of tea. When I questioned this and said about the extended wait I was advised they were very busy. I definitely will not be returning to this establishment due to the poor service and long wait.

Lovely little cafe right on the market place in the centre of Swaffham. Picturesque from the outside and quaint inside. Friendly and helpful staff. You don't fell like visitors, they make you feel like you've known them for ages. Even the locals do the same. We called in for a quick bite to eat. Teacakes and tea. Very tasty, plenty of butter and warm water to add to the teapot for a top up. We enjoyed so much, we went back two weeks later. We only had a quick lunch, but meals are available and the cakes look divine. Homemade jams are available too.

This cafe was a fabulous find, close to a carpark that lets you park free for 2 hours. The breakfast I had was excellent produce fabulously cooked to perfection. You could have a large full breakfast serving or smaller serving. I had the large one on day 1 which was really filling on day 2 I went for the smaller serving which was just right for me. The menu had other breakfast choices too. The coffee was great too. If you are in Swaffham you won’t get better looked after, the staff are friendly and polite. The service was excellent, the food amazing, I definitely recommend you go. I’m going back for day 3 I enjoyed the food so much.

Nice little find. Friendly staff. Great scones and tea. Enjoyed the chai latte also. Cute little cafe. Easy free parking in street nearby.

Very conveniently sited café on the market place in quaint old buildings. Friendly staff, happy to oblige despite being very busy, they found us a table to thankfully sit and have some lunch. Good choices on the menu - difficult to choose. Delicious lunch.

Lovely little cafe, great coffee and we shared scrambled eggs & salmon. So much salmon, very impressed and well cooked eggs.

Popped in on our way out of Norfolk for a quick lunch. Lovely little place with outside seating and parking literally opposite. Lovely helpful staff, not a huge menu but plenty if choice. Had the avocado and scrambled eggs on toast, shared some delicious chips. The ham and chips went down well too and the coffee was good and reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend.

We stopped here for coffee and a scone. Both were really nice. Very friendly staff who actually engaged with the customers which was nice.

Happy place with customers enjoying some good looking lunches. More rooms upstairs for a quieter chat. My flat white coffee had a good flavour though it was almost too hot to begin with. No worries though, lovely decor to admire while my coffee cooled

I had a very pleasant breakfast here on a Sunday morning. It gets busy (not too busy) with plenty of regulars so I guess that tells you all you need to know. It might be worth booking in advance. The portions were large, food tasty, service good, atmosphere relaxing and price wasn’t too bad either (£15 for a full english and pot of tea). Parking is a bonus, being free and just outside in the town centre car park.

Ridiculously long wait for food. Waited over an hour and still no sign of food so had to leave. No apology from owner just attitude. Loads of other lovely cafes in the area which are better. Place good do with a scrub too.

Popped in for a tea and cake - had to chase up order for cake and cold scone as had been waiting for at least three quarters of an hour. Tea was practically finished by the time it turned up. Scone was served warm with jam which was not ordered. I didn’t see prices of cakes on menu, however prices on their website are less than we were charged! We weren’t the only ones having to wait a long time - a family left as they were tired of waiting. Very disappointing.

Very slow service, had to ask for menus. Had a baked potato with langoustine tails and Marie Rose sauce. I'm pretty certain the langoustine were fake surumi things. They tasted awful anyway Coffee was fine. Toilets are upstairs. Won't go again.

Looked a bit neglected inside but the waitress was friendly. No menus anywhere to be seen so had to go and ask for one. We thought the food was expensive £12ish for a breakfast with two of everything which we can get in Wetherspoons for half that including as many hot drinks as you like. Jacket potato with beans and cheese was about £7.50 and small pork and stilton sausage rolls £4.50 each. They were nice but could have been bigger. The hot drinks were OK though. Would probably try elsewhere next time we are in Swaffham.

We all are lunch and the food was great and very reasonably priced, I thought. Coffees all fine too and staff were pleasant and accommodating. The only thing that stood out was the slowness of queueing to order, ordering, waiting for the order... Had I known just how much waiting would have been involved, I'd have driven on to my destination. Let's not blame the staff entirely here - I feel it was mixture of the time of day (1pm) and the sudden rush of wealthy looking retired customers, all sour faced and disregarding of their co-sour faced customers. And all taking an age to browse menu whilst holding up the queue. Having said that, the speed on totting up orders on calculators, processing the queue, and bringing food out was slow. Let's just say the food and drinks were great but avoid if the place is busy.

Very hard to fault. decent food, polite staff and a lovely lunchtime experiance. We should treasure gems like this.

Just passing Swaffham and stopped and had a look around. We decided to have a bite to eat and it was exceptional, the freshest brown bread with thick cut ham on the bone with tomato and accompanied with salad, peppers, carrot and salad dressing and a BLT sandwich also with the same salad. They were the best sandwiches we have ever had, accompanied with 2 large coffees made it a very pleasant experience.

Attractive looking building with lots of tables outside and seating indoors too. Dog friendly. Placed our order at the counter and sat outside in the sunshine. We both had breakfast sandwiches of egg & sausage with granary bread. Nicely cooked and the sausage was a lovely flavour. Coffee was good.

We popped in around 2.30pm It was very busy. We managed to get a shady table outside. Great prawn and smoked salmon salad and the best chips Excellent service Will return

We stopped in Swaffham while on our way to the coast and spotted the Market Cross Cafe Bar which fortunately had a free table outside. It's dog friendly so we could sit with our spaniel (virtually all the customers had a dog of some sort) in the sun. We enjoyed some very generous sandwiches in good quality bread plus some perfect chips. To drink we had some cold beers (they are licensed) and good coffee. Service was quick and prices were very reasonable. Inside it looked very cosy so it would also be a good venue on a wet day.

We visited early afternoon and opted for a light 'lunch' of cappucinos and chips. The cafe is dog-friendly but we chose to sit outside anyway, in the sunshine, with our dog. Easily the nicest setting in Swaffham centre. Service was friendly and prompt.

We visited the market in Swaffham and needed a refreshment. It was warm and sunny and the Market Cross Cafe Bar provided an excellent location. The coffee was OK, the bacon and egg sandwiches great, the service good, but most of all the terrace outside was great.

Came here a couple of years back. Today we returned and it was just as good! Lovely fruit scone with lashings of cream and jam, hubby had a chunk of carrot cake. Their peppermint tea is the best I’ve tasted. Definitely will return!

Out standing all day breakfast with local sausages. and bacon. The bread was fantastic with gluten free options.

Lovely little cafe stopped as travelling though, had a lovely coffee and pot of tea, together with scones and cream. Service was excellent, staff very friendly. Would stop again.

Very good cake. Friendly and cosy atmosphere. Dog friendly downstairs. Fire was on, what more do you need on a soggy spring day.

On a hot day we went to some pubs but walked out as the food was a bit dull and then thankfully we stumbled on this cafe and we were delighted. My sis and friend adored the goats cheese salads and I had the best ever pastry and a salad. The cakes were exquisite esp the Vic Sponge. We were so happy to sit in the sun and have a glass of wine but the interior looked very cute too - quite quirky. Highly recommended! The chef really knows her stuff :)

Stopped in for lunch with our toddler, what a great place!! Lovely food, sensible portions, quick service and very friendly and professional staff! Apparently the babyccino was excellent, and they adapted the menu to accommodate our small person perfectly! Thank you so much, we'll be back!

what a lovely place. great food at reasonable prices, great staff and a great atmosphere.Loved the layout inside. ~vaired menu

The Market cross cafe in Swaffham is well located in the town centre, across from the marketplace car park area. During COVID-19 they have extended the cafe with plywood walls and quite cleverly created a larger indoor area which is still classed as outdoors. It...

Went here as our usual haunt was over run with customers, was somewhat disappointed with my sandwich, very thin bread and no butter, luckily for me my wife had a baked potato that came with butter, as she doesn’t use it I was able to...

Second time here and not disappointed. Lovely restaurant/café bar with friendly staff and a good menu with lots of local produce served up. Reasonable prices and you get the opportunity of seeing the local market.

The atmosphere in this cafe was warm and welcoming; the staff were helpful, friendly and efficient. The food was amazing. I had a jacket potato with houmous and falafel and salad. The salad came with a lovely dressing. My friend had the falafel deli plate,...

Quirky cafe in the centre of Swaffham. We only had drinks but they were fine. A little bit off putting to have dogs inside the cafe but they were well behaved! The toilets are upstairs and were very clean and pleasant-once you had tackled the...

Right in the centre of town is this very inviting cafe. I say cafe rather than restaurant as that is what it appeared to be from the outside when I called in one lunch time. The menu looked to be cafe-style too, which is fine by me as I was only after a coffee.The decor is varied, interesting and pleasant, particularly the coloured glass window facing onto the town square. The wooden bench seating I occupied wasn’t overly comfy and a bit tight to get into. In fact, all the seating is squeezed in a bit tightly, but then the space available is limited.It is certainly a popular venue, particularly with the older generation. It was noticeable that the “cheese on toast” was a popular order. The toaster must have been working flat out!While this place has its limitations, I couldn’t fault the staff. They were very polite and helpful both to me and other customers. Top marks to the both ladies. Nice latte too.

The two steakburgers in a bun with lashings of onion and cheese were very good and tasty with a side salad. Certainly very filling and must not think about the calories! Pleasant atmosphere and the staff were friendly. A little crowded though but the food was of good quality and presented well. Reasonable value. The homemade soup which a friend had was also very good with a large chunk of bread. Reasonable value and happy with the lunch.

The staff were very pleasant and attentive. We had the beef hoisin salad, Stilton rarebit and the 2x 6 oz burgers which were particularly good. All meals were very good and left no room for desert but the many home made cakes were too appealing to ignore. Great location in the centre of this lovely Norfolk market square.

Swaffham as a town is not the most inspiring place but we enjoyed lunch at the Market Cross. My wife had chilli con carne. She enjoyed it: I tasted it and found it pleasant but not that spicy. I had the vegetarian deli slate, which came with hummus, falafel, olives, onions in balsamic vinegar and warm bread: very attractive presented. Staff were pleasant. The decor in the cafe could perhaps do with a bit of a refresh, and our tea pot was not the best pourer! But all in all a nice place for lunch.

Trying to support this local cafe, which we have done many, many times before, we went for coffee on Saturday afternoon. One of our party can not eat gluten, so we asked which of their cakes were gluten free? We were told that they did not have anything available at that time which was gluten free. We then we said we would order three coffees and two cakes from them and pop round the corner to buy a gluten free biscuit from Costa. We were told that we would not be allowed to drink our coffee, or eat cake from Market Cross Cafe if we purchased a biscuit from Costa and brought in to their outside seating area to drink with their coffees and cakes.

Unfortunately I can’t comment on the quality of food as we barely made it past the door. We were en route to our family holiday with our thirteen month old son and stopped off in Swaffham for some lunch. On arrival, our son needed a nappy change, and not knowing the town at all we headed for the place we knew we’d find change facilities - Costa. I’m not one to use a cafe toilet without buying something so bought a takeaway coffee so we could move on quickly to find somewhere for lunch with my son being hungry. We thought Market Cross looked nice so headed in there, but I was immediately barked at by an incredibly rude member of staff that I couldn’t bring ‘that’ in there, referring to my cup. No hello, no quiet ‘sorry but would you mind covering the branding’ or ‘can I give you a cup to put it in instead’, just barked at across the restaurant in front of other customers. Thankfully we found a nice cafe nearby that let us in in our bedraggled, tired traveller state. Wouldn’t go back to Market Cross out of principle; the staff need lessons in speaking politely to customers/any member of the public.

I have visited here many times for lunch and the food is delicious. Good portions and different choices. I loved the Stilton and broccoli choices and the mushroom and goats cheese burger. Nice sav blanc too!!!

Five of us visited on a Sunday morning - we sat upstairs and had a little room all to ourselves so it was a bit like home from home. They don't have a menu as such but you can pretty much order what you want and we enjoyed a full English breakfast each.

Food and drinks are good but too many tables and chairs crammed together. Fine for young able bodied people but more difficult for the walking disabled trying to squeeze between them. The upstairs toilets are fine for the clear sighted and agile but a nightmare for the elderly and infirmed. Staff were quite abrupt and I did not find them very welcoming. However, as stated, it is a very popular place for eating outside in a very nice position.

Called by for a birthday lunch, my wife had the best Stilton quiche she has eaten I had the steak and kidney pudding which was really good. Will revisit.

A friendly restaurant in the heart of Swaffham

Sit outside on a sunny day with a glass of wine and watch the world go by! There is a lovely choice of wines, plushot and cold meals. The stairs inside are quite steep, so unsuitable if no spaces down stairs and you can’t get up. If you can get upstairs however, you are met by two more lovely eating rooms. Lovely food.

Shop round the market followed by a relaxing lunch and coffee in this fabulous old building.

I visited the Market Cross with my Mum, Dad and sister for a birthday celebration. We were surprised that the teapot that was used was completely incapable of delivering tea into a cup, something of problem for a tearoom. In their defence the waitress did warn us they could be difficult!! When our food arrived it was on the most unstable cake stand which kept rolling about at different angles. While the sandwiches were ok, cheese and coleslaw? the golf ball sized scones, in size and texture were a real disappointment. I think that the MK is a lovely place but it maybe needs to take a little more care in its presentation.

Very pleasant little café restaurant. Situated in the Market Square which is central in Swaffham this nice little café is a great place to stop for a drink or something to eat. Very rustic inside, we all sat outside and enjoyed a very nice cooked breakfast last Sunday. A nice menu, but the manager said we can order what we want any combinations. That was a nice touch. We all had freshly produced food which tasted great. Nice tea and coffee as well. Well worth a visit.

Friendly service with good coffee and really lovely carrot cake and scones. Clearly all home made. Highly recommended

We visited here on a saturday was lovely sunny day. We ordered a double stack burger and ham egg and chips. Saton the littlw table by the door there was 1 other table indoors and a couple of people drinking out side. We waited 50 mins for our meals, afer 40 mins a girls could see my annoyance and as walked past said it won't be long. We the meals came foe the amoung that was paid the burger came with no chips and the ham egg chips would of looked nice with a garnish. Meals were nice but nothing to shout about.

We always stop off at this cosy café for a drink en route to holidays at Wells-next-the-Sea. Today we had wonderful freshly baked fruit scones with clotted cream and jam. Absolutely delicious and inexpensive. Highly recommended!

This place looks lovely outside and cosy and welcoming inside. Service was good and we felt welcome. Frank had a cream cheese and smoked salmon sandwich with salad garnish which he thought was good. I had vegetable chilli with wedges and salad., The wedges were good as was the salad but the chilli had no kick at all, seemed to made with a meat substitute and was bland. Even the very generous covering of cheese was bland so for me not a success...vegie chillies I have had before have been really tasty. The most disappointing thing was the coffee. Just about every bar, café, pop up café and restaurant serves really good coffee but this was tasteless and watery...like old filter coffee. We asked for Americanos. And no we did not complain because there were other diners and in such a small space that would have been embarrassing both for us and for the staff. Really, though, good coffee is not hard to do. Did not order a sweet course as we were so disappointed.

We have just been treated to Afternoon Tea at the Market Cross. It was beautifully presented and tasted delicious.

Friendly staff and fantastic garlic bread! Lovely cakes and good vallue. Gets busy so go early to avoid disapointment.

I have been into the Market Cross on quite a few occasions and I can honestly say I have never had a bad meal, The menu choice is good and the food is always lovely. It’s all presented and tastes amazing, I have tried many things from sandwiches to full meals and I cannot fault anything .

We visited the Market cross a few years ago and were pleased to see the place still thriving and as good as ever. A cosy friendly establishment with a good menu serving good Vegan and vegetarian options.

Popped here today for brunch with my partner. The staff were really welcoming on arrival. It is a cosy cafe with sofas cushions and a crafty homely feel. With two quieter rooms also upstairs for lounging in. (Toilets upstairs)

Good location though parking is an obvious issue locally. Food reasonable and hot, great coffee. Service excellent, friendly and prompt. Give it a go

I popped in for a quick coffee. Coffee was served hot with a separate jug of milk. Scone was very fruity and pleasantly warm. Returned later for lunch with a cousin and the jacket potatoes were served with just the right amount of salad. Couldn’t fault it. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Having been for breakfast several times we arranged to meet some friends and go for breakfast. This was at the end of May. We went in to book and were told they were to busy to serve breakfast only doing bacon butties. This was a huge disappointment. As we had looked forward to breakfast we went elsewhere and found somewhere cheaper and most welcoming. We have been going there ever since.

Always aim for a stop here when we go to North Norfolk - never disappoints.

Went with my brother and his wife Nice welcome - we decided to sit upstairs which overlooked the market square Good range of food on menu The food was excellent as was the service Great place to have lunch

Ordered sandwiches along with my friend. Both lots were made with stale dry bread and the filling in mine was also poor. Will not be returning.

Always a friendly place to stop small menu but all the food is fresh and tasty covering a range from sandwiches, baked potatoes, pasta and traditional meals. Fantastic service along with a good drinks selection makes it a great place to stop.

Had a fantastic evening attending the gin tasting evening ... it was well organised and a very informative evening ... the gin was good to ... good value for money will deffinatly consider attending future events Well done Kay :)

Had a very nice lunch here Sausage sizzler sandwich and a lovely pot of tea and a nice juicy burger and a latte was really tasty and will definitely return. Little bit pricey but that's ok when the food is good quality.

Popped in here at lunchtime after visiting the Swaffham Museum. Cosy place with range of different sized tables on the ground floor with more space to sit upstairs. The staff were friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed a hot drink in vintage mismatched cups saucers and freshly made sandwiches. Would recommend if you are visiting Swaffham.

Comfortable seating with more room upstairs, Good location in the heart of Swaffham. Good food, with a nice selection of different dishes. What more do you need.

Nice friendly staff. Good coffee and decent cake. Usually quite busy so sometime difficult to get a seat.

Lovely, every thing served beautifully, and the service was excellent. Contact before hand to ensure they had number ok, and so understanding when some of my group could'nt come because of illness Would certainly go again, and Celiac no problem my food was lovely

Greeted with a friendly smile and a welcoming log burner we stopped for a bacon sandwich on a cold Sunday morning. No breakfast menu but lovely staff member informed us that cooked breakfast and bacon or sausage sandwich available.

If you want a sandwich and a place to rest for a short while then why not try Market Cross. There is a decent range of sandwiches available too. We shared the club sandwich which at £8.95 felt a little expensive considering that it was a relatively cheap version of a meat club sandwich. A sausage & bacon sandwich is fine, but in my experience/view is not really a club sandwich. I would have been prepared to pay more for a really good classic club sandwich.

Cozy and comfortable stop on a cold rainy day. Latte very hot and hubby had a nice glass of red. Friendly staff and plenty of space with upstairs available for extra seats.

When 12 of us in a mini-bus were on our way home from Thursford they kept Market Cross open for us and produced a delicious afternoon tea. It looked good and tasted good

Delightful restaurant with attractive décor and attentive friendly staff.

4 of us went to Swaffham in Norfolk to celebrate a birthday and we were looking for a cosy place to have some traditional wintry food on a cold afternoon.

Took the kids for breakfast. It was brilliant and they ate everything. Service and food amazing. Well worth a visit.

I recently met a friend for lunch and the food was great. Ordered a mature cheddar cheese and roasted vegetable sandwich and it was served on lovely, thick, fresh seeded bread. The salad garnish was good quality too, drizzled with a delicious dressing. The staff were really friendly. I like coming to this place as the food is always good quality at a competitive price and I love the decor.

A very pleasant and popular small cafe-cum-restaurant in the centre of Swaffham. Great location with both indoor and outdoor seating. A varied menu, but with food only served to late afternoon. Unfortunately not open evenings except on special occasions. Friendly proprietor and efficient staff. It has a loyal following and you cannot fault the ambience.

A cafe rather than a restaurant but none the worse for that, The food was very good and the service friendly. Not exciting but a very pleasant place for lunch nonetheless.

Good coffee, good cakes and friendly service all at reasonable prices. Excellent place to meet friends.

Had nice scones and tea here - friendly service, choice of seating inside and out - wish all smoking was banned from eating places as we had to remove the smelly ashtray from our table when we sat outside - hence only four stars

We have visited this restaurant before and enjoyed it...love the room upstairs. I travelled 45 minutes to meet up with one of my family here for lunch during the school holidays. Admittedly they were busy but there was no-one available to show us to a table. That was ok, we had been before. We were asked to take our order downstairs when we had decided because they hadn't got time to come and collect it. I ordered and paid before getting the food with no problems. My family member then tried to order for herself and her children. We were told they had run out of burgers!!!!!! I asked if they could get more and was rudely told no, they are all gone...no proper apology at all. We went to consult the menu once more and nothing else was suitable for children who were looking forward to burgers. Therefore, I asked for a refund and we had to eat elsewhere. This is disgraceful and very disappointing. The food is very expensive for what it is and although I love the way its set out it does feel as though a good clean would be nice, the carpet upstairs is extremely stained and there are holes in it on the stairs. All of this we could have overlooked if there had been excellent service and food. I am still incredulous that a restaurant could run out of burgers and only half past one in the school holidays!!!!!!!!! And furthermore, not even sorry about it...we considered visiting the butcher across the road to buy some burgers for them .lolNot happy, not sure we will ever cross the threshold again.

Was passing through Swaffham at the weekend and stopped by this great little place to eat. We even got a table outside in the sunshine!All 3 of us had the steak burger and all I can is WOW! Nicely cooked, non greasy and tasted amazing.

This was our second visit and we really enjoyed it. The main thing that had spoiled our first visit was the length of time it took to bring us our food. On this occasion the service was first rate. It is a quaint, friendly place, producing a slightly limited range of well-produced food. If you like your lasagne rich and meaty and very cheesy, then this is the place for you. In fact, we have resolved to make a third trip just for the lasagne.

Just for coffee and cake - very good indeed. Had we not been eating that evening we most definitely would have had something more substantial - everything brought to the tables looked very tempting.
