Norburn's Coffee Shop in East Lindsey

The welcome is great and and everything is well organised. Fresh vegetables always and all the food is of a very high standard. My husband and I visit as often as we can, yesterday we made the journey just to go for lunch.

Excellent place for good home cooked food and good service. I highly recommend the steak pie. The pastry on the pie is to die for. The welcome today was wonderful and the service was first class.

I was recently introduced to Norburns and have really enjoyed the food .It is reasonably priced and the staff are brilliant.A must place to go.Also if you have a good appetite have the afternoon cream tea..

Dropped in as in that area and wanted a coffee on the way home, had never been in before but heard from a friend that worth a visit.Sunday lunchtime midday is not a good time to drop in if no reservation I would say.We were lucky to be first at the counter and got a table for 2, we were having coffee and cake only.Within minutes so many people were coming in and queing for Sunday roast. The queue went back as far as the door. The queue did not start moving for 15 minutes. The plates of food that people were walking away with looked delicious. Real home cooked food.So.. we waited for a while for coffee and cake but it tasted beautiful.We were astounded at hour popular the Sunday roasts were.Would definately give this place a try again but during the week Id say and would try a meal and see how it goes when not as busy.

After hearing good things about the food here decided to visit and was not impressed.we had booked a table but it appeared somebody else had taken it so we were shown to a table with no cutlery which appeared while we were getting our food in a pile on the table.three of my fellow diners had the meat pie which they said was lovely although the portions were a bit small and I had the cottage pie which was just okay and contained a large piece of unmashed potato.it seemed like a place run by volunteers rather than a professional cafe and they did not seem to have enough staff.the lady who did seem run off her feet apologised three times about the service and said it was because they were busy.perhaps we just picked a bad day.

What a great place! We visited twice during our week's stay in the Wolds. Firstly just for coffee and cake in the pouring rain. Friendly service, a good slice of coffee and walnut cake and a bucket of cappuccino. Gave us a ray of sunshine on an otherwise grey and dismally wet day. The second time was on the way back home at lunchtime. The place was heaving - parking is ample - but the spaces nearest the cafe were filled up and a many point turn was needed to go to the parking just down from the cafe. There is plenty of room though. We had sandwiches and quiche. The quiche was hot and served with potatoes and a range of salad. Service was good despite the fact they were dealing with many customers all at once who didn't seem to understand a queue and just kept calling out what they wanted. The waitresses kept their calm and were really apologetic about the wait which really wasn't that long and they were rammed. Go if you like good food - hot or cold (hot only served til 2 pm I think). The afternoon tea looked both generous and tasty too - they like 24-48 hours notice for that - so plan ahead. And if you like parrots then definitely go.

We occasionally call in here for coffee but this time we decided to have lunch. And we so glad we did! Great home cooked food, just like mother used to make; with freshly cooked vegetables. And really good puddings too.

We haven't been to Norburns for a while UNFORTUNATELY!! When we did visit last year it was GREAT!!ALL 3 OF US VEGYS,we had the Vegy Cheese Pie,mashed potatoes & veg which was cooked must how I liked it(not too sloppy). Always BUSY, it ALL THE STAFF were 100%! The puddings (if u could fit one in) were DELICIOUS! Maybe when things settle down in life again we WILL go AGAIN!! DEFINITELY WORTH THE TRIP OUT TO TETNEY!!

popped in for tea and cake about 2.30 on sunday afternoon with grandson and grandad shown to a table had cream scones, coffee cake and ice cream really nice and friendly service. Excellent

We can not fault Norburns,we've been every day but Sunday,one of our favourite places for realible.consistant food & variety.Now we really must go on a Sunday...

Amazing home cooked food pie to die for and reasonless prices staff very friendly well worth a visit

This small restaurant/coffee shop is a little gem and well worth a visit. It offers home cooked food, a friendly atmosphere and excellent service.It’s surrounded by nice gardens which include aviaries which contain parrots, parakeets, peacocks and various other birds.It’s also a nice place to call in for an ice-cream if you’re passing on a warm day.

Have been many times for Sunday lunch which is always delicious and as well as roasts always included home baked steak, chicken or vegetable pies. Pastry that melts in your mouth. Great puds or sweets, whichever. All this served by welcoming staff in comfortable relaxed surroundings. Having enjoyed a hearty lunch - visit the birds - two new owls this time, beautiful.

Love the food here with a down to earth, comfy and relaxed atmosphere. Food is great and puddings are delicious. Great for a good hearty lunch . You will not need a big dinner after visiting here at lunch time.

Have used this establishment for years. The quality has remained consistently good. Friendly and helpful service at very affordable prices.

Welcoming staff, surroundings, great food, good prices! The deserts looked amazing but we were too full to manage one! Hopefully next time though!

Traditional food and homemade puddings. If you like cottage pie, Liver and bacon and Sausage and mash style meals then this is the place for you. Good value with lunchtime offer of a drink or tea/coffee main course and dessert for £11 per person.

Lovely little find, will definitely be back, would recommend booking as it gets very busy for a small cafe.

This is an extremely busy coffee shop and restaurant. They have a fabulous traditional cook who has. Even there years. All food and pies made fresh with all fresh veg. My personal favourite is their steak pie The sweets are also home made and fresh. I am not normally a sweet person but I love their fresh fruit meringue and their home made scones. Combine this with lovely gardens to walk in and your in for a treat. Ring and book a table so not to be disapointed

We had a lovely meal there, plenty to choose from. The service was good did not have to wait for long. Even though they were busy. This was only about twenty minutes from​where I live. The cost was good to.

Han sido para café y pastel antes pero decidimos ir un domingo, no me decepcionó, personal muy amable, excelente servicio, y la comida era excepcional. Vale la pena una visita para un café o una comida en fin de reserva recomendado {}. Usted no será decepcionado. Gracias a todo el personal.

I love this place, for £11 you can have a main course, dessert and a pot of tea. The food is home cooked and hot, the desserts are home made and the staff are all very friendly and happy. Plenty of parking space for free

Este lugar tiene increíbles pudines estoy trabajando mi camino a través de ellos, cada uno probado ha sido muy rico. Fuimos a precio domingo almuerzo £11 dos campos con café. Hay un asado, pero el pastel de carne es, sin lugar a dudas, el mejor...

Called for a meal with a friend, nearly all the tables were reserved for the "regulars", The cafe had a clammy feel most uncomfortable! One glance at the food being served we walked out!

Three adults including a vegan visited for Sunday lunch. The meat-eaters had a choice of beef or pork, chicken pie or beef pie with a range of vegetables and 2 potatoes. The vegan got a quorn 'mince' shepherd's pie with veggie gravy and vegetables - it was delicious. There was a huge range of puddings - only the apple pie was vegan- but there were scones and flapjacks too. As it was Sunday the lunch including tea, coffee or squash was £11, Tuesday to Saturday its £1 cheaper. Definitely value for money and delicious. The staff couldn't have been more attentive. There is no alcohol license but as none of us drink, it did not matter to us.

Food was great as usual - we went out for lunch today Thursday home cooked for a steak pie great fresh vegetables, two course plus drink £10 each cannot go wrong thank you will call again - well worth the drive plenty of parking very clean staff excellent what can i say?

Prompt seating self service at Cavery. Home made food well presented and cooked. Meat pie a speciality to be ordered in advance.

We came twice whilst we were staying at beech farm cottages and were more than satisfied. Staff - polite, friendly and helpful. Meals - amazing!! Homecooked and traditional, plenty of choice, fab prices and the desserts were delicious and again plenty of choices and all home made

The staff here are so nice and the sunday lunch is great ,it is always a toss up to go for the roast beef or cow pie. Today cowpie won, it is the best pie we have ever had anywhere,it came with fresh veg and new spuds and roast . The homemade desserts are wonderfull ,can recommend the lemon and ginger cheesecake but they are all yummy.

home cooked meals and puddings, the words got around, if there's a few of you going I would ring to book.

Spotless nd clean. All food is home cooked and prices are good. There is a choice of four mains and four puddings. Lovely surroundings in the country side.

Went with for a visit with my social group for afternoon tea on a Friday afternoon. We booked in advance and were seated in the conservatory. The tables were nicely set and we had huge cream and jam scones, individual triffles (Jelly was a bit rubbery) and strawberry cupcakes. There was plenty of tea and coffee although the coffee tasted instant. Overall it was a nice place to call in for an hour and the plant area and greenhouse certainly worth a visit as they have some unusual plants to purchase. Looking forward to another visit. They also do meals but haven't tried them yet.

Called in on the way home with aged parents looking for coffee and a piece of cake. Found it in the form of Coffee and Walnut Cake. Lemon and Ginger cheesecake went down a treat with the parent.

Went with some friends for a lunch at this location. Plenty of parking spaces. The place is part restaurant, part small garden centre (which is closed during the winter months). The restaurant is a separate building with a large conservatory attached. The Staff are very friendly and the food is good home cooked food. They have a small but good traditional choice of mains and desserts with a special deal of 2 courses and a cup of tea. Service was good and efficient. Decor is basic but clean & tidy.

Norburns is a small family business. Whenh you arrive although its nothing posh Don't be deterred. Set in nice surroundings with an aviary of exotic birds their food is good honest home cooking. They offer more than value but they are also concencious about their service and food standard.Lunch isn't served until 12.00 you meanwhile join the queu for the main course. After that you will be attended for the rest of your lunch time.I personally have had lunch there many times and will continue to do so.

Often visit this venue nice drive out of town, we visit mainly on a Sunday for their carvery, very fresh and plenty to eat will keep calling always great staff very clean and always well looked after thank you Eddie

We had our pre Christmas family meal here,some of us went for the beef roast with trimmings and myself and others went for the famous steak pie. Both was really good the beef meted in mouth and do not think have ever had a better steak pie.Got offerered mash boiled and roast spuds helped ourself to different veg and gravy.After that we moved on to desserts ,what a selection there was hot sponge and custard fruit pie and custard ,huge pavlovas bannoffe orange and choclate cheesecake and other lovely stuff,real headache making mind up ..We settled on 4 different things and not one letdown all was superb. For a good meal all homemade this place takes some beating,and such good portions..It is a no frills place with nice staff and owner. Not one of these places that have Jus instead of gravy.We will be back ,£10 50 for 2 courses and coffee and tea,exellent.

We have visited this Restaurant two or three times a month for at least the past year and always found the meals consistantly good and the staff, friendly and efficient.

Took my mum for a visit in september and had a lovely lunch, served by very friendly and attentive staff and the steak pie WAS fab, and the cakes gorgeous. There are some negative reviews but ignore them as I did. The garden centre attached is very good and well stocked and to top it off there was a craft shop, heaven. will be back in november.

We live in the Village but often after a nice circular walk call in for a Coffee and delicious home made Scone (great if they've not long been out of the oven). We've also had lunch here which is traditionally home made and alwY piping hot. Give it a try if you're in the area.

A lovely local village restaurant that serves traditional home cooked food and home made desserts., All the guests here at our cottages opposite love it, as do we, particularly the steak pie, quiche, scones, desserts and ice cream. We recommend it to everyone and have only heard positive comments. One couple went back to try it 3 times in a week. Be prepared to queue for a short time as it is very popular and the prices are so reasonable, so if you book a table for lunch eat nearer 12pm than 2pm, as it is cooked on the day and when it's gone it's gone. They close at 4. Fast efficient service. Cafe style main area with an additional conservatory and outside eating area overlooking gardens. Plant centre is well stocked and looked after.

Visited with the family (3 generations) one lunchtime having been told it's the best steak pie you'll ever taste. The reality was completely different. Cold steak pie with overly thick pastry, overcooked veg and small portions. The squash included in the lunch deal was undrinkable - totally synthetic. The puddings were equally poor. 2 orders were wrong for pudding. I had to be asked if I wanted my crumble served warm! How else would I want it?! No children's menu or even a half portion option so had to buy a full adult meal for a 4 year old! No baby change either. Came away having been unable to eat the pud and still hungry. Stodgy and nothing like I expected. To top it off it cost £35 for 3 adults and a young child (baby didn't eat). Don't bother!

Liver & Sausage, Beef pie and Mandarin cheesecake are my favourites. Lots more to choose from. Everything is superb.Plant sales next door make it a good destination.

Norburns Coffee Shop is far more than that! Serving wonderful home cooked, no nonsense, reasonably priced lunches, with desserts to die for! The cottage pie and steak pie are the best we have ever had and the service was quick and friendly. Take the turning to Tetney from the A16- it is well worth either a special journey or a detour on your journey.Opening hours are 10am til 4pm, closed Mondays.

The steak (cow pie) is the best in the area. Book a table as this is a very popular restaurant. Book a table in the conservatory as the main rooms gets crowded. Good portions, all home made. Range of wonderful sweets / puddings

We have visited Norburn's Coffee Shop on many occasions. The food is of great quality and although there is a varied menu, my husband always goes for the beef pie, he just cannot resist it. The puddings are scrummy, especially the rhubarb crumble, which is my particular favourite. Lovely atmosphere and I love the bright sunny conservatory. Janet and her team must be credited for their lovely food. Staff are very friendly. After super meal I love to visit the plant nursery attached and always come away with some plants for my garden.

We travel up north to visit my father near Grimsby. He no longer is able to drive. We come from Winchester, he always asks if we can take to Norburn's for his lunch. We've been doing this for him several years every time we come north. We are always delighted with the quality of wholesome natural, traditional home cooking Norbury's offers. The staff are delightful and friendly. Its a cooking style which we all remember our Grandmothers used to cook. There is always a choice of dishes to choose from and some times its difficult making your mind up. We have sampled everything Norburn's and can say with all honesty, Its simply the best. If you want fast chemically processed food, don't come here. Norburn's is relaxed, hospitable and friendly. It also has a gardening nursery to wonder around it too afterwards. I forgot to mention, the deserts are delicious too. Norbury's is well worth a visit. Mike & Anna McAllister (Max's son) visited again yesterday 5th April 2015.

Have been here several times and have never been disappointed. Excellent quality home Cooked food - sufficient choice that I've never been disappointed. Huge main meal, the biggest pudding EVER with tea - £19 for 2. Absolute bargain. A must visit.

My friend and I love going to Norburns coffee shop as we are always ready for a coffee when we have visited theho craft shop on the same site.The food is delicious and freshly made. The coffe is always hot and just the right strength. The staff are more than willing to assist and the surroundings are very pleasant. Highly reccommend anyone to try it out!

Reserved a table for elderly parents for lunch time treat - warm welcome. Steak pie was fabulous, Shepherds pie was tasty and the pork casserole was lovely. Food hot. Enjoyed the special consisting of a main meal, dessert and a drink FOC for £9.95 each. Lemon meringue was delightful, rhubarb crumble was plentiful and the sponge and custard was so light. Only complaint from my elderly parents was that the wooden seating was cold for them.We will definitely be back - well worth the hours run to eat!! Fabulous.

What a peaceful, heavenly place to go for a meal or a snack and coffee ! You sit in comfy chairs and are surrounded by beautiful gardens with birds in cages. The coffee and food is fresh and delicious. I can envisage many more trips coming along!!

Several visits for lunch and morning coffee and always great food and service Lunches start at 12n for their specials/ cooked lunches their steak pie goes very quick and why ... It's delicious They normally have 3-4 mains of good choices from liver and bacon or cottage pie or chicken dish All are really good and around £5-6 they also do salads or toasties and pannies They do a meal deal of a main and a dessert/ pud and hot drink for £ 9.95 which is brill They have delicious hot and cold sweets all homemade The scones are brilliant big light and tasty This is a great cafe in the grounds of a small garden centre which also has the best craft shop around Plenty of nice seating and parking Cafe has a large dinning room and conservatory area Lovely staff who are always helpful Highly recommended

Tried this coffee shop today for Sunday lunch and it was perfect. All the veg was hot and fresh and the service was good. Will definitely be returning for another.

This is a somewhat hidden gem of an eating place but, once you've found it, I'm sure you'll want to visit again. It's one of my favourite places for coffee-ing or lunching but I wouldn't call it a restaurant as it closes at 5pm and all day Monday. The site also hosts a small but well stocked garden centre - no gifts or gimmicks - and a beautifully set out garden with cages of birds, around which visitors are encouraged to walk. Adults and children alike will be spoilt for choice with the ice-creams, and the home-made cakes and pies are simply to die for. It isn't a vast menu, no pizzas, burgers and chips ( but is that a bad thing?)! Portions are more than ample and there's a good choice, from sandwiches to Sunday lunch - although it's best to book for the latter. You will need a car to get there but the trip will be worth it.

Good Menu Good size portions. Desserts look delicious but havent been able to fit one in yet lol. Warm Greeting with a smile & very clean..

Visited once before and had a great home cooked meal and gorgeous deserts. This time we had home cooked steak pie and it was so tender and the pastry was so short and tasty. Vegetables al-dente but plentiful. Too full for desert this time but wished I could have squeezed it in. Nice decor and a conservatory to sit in but it was a hot day so we sat inside. Siting outside too.

I absolutely love this place. Ive never had a steak pie like it and probably never will from anywhere else. Great home made food, generous portions and excellent value for money will always keep me coming back for more. Would recommend to anyone just make sure you book as its becoming popular! Also try the lemon meringue pie if you still have room

Delightful home cooked food in a family setting . Get there early as the famous steak pie goes extremely quickly ! . Banoffie pie to die for ..... Just make sure you reserve a piece . Norburns for life ! Oooosssshhhh

I first discovered this delightful coffee shop whilst making a visit to the craft shop on site.Home cooked tasty food, puddings to die for, large selection of locally made ice cream...pleasant, friendly, helpful and well dressed staff....set in lovely surroundings containing well stocked flower borders and beds, plenty of seating areas, disable friendly, and an array of large well kept flights containing parrots,peacocks,golden pheasant, quails,love birds and more. Today's visit revealed a new addition to this site by way of a garden centre...it appears to be early days yet but if their own grounds are anything to go by, this centre will flourish with high quality plants. Absolutely EVERYWHERE here is spotless...outdoors as well as indoors.Well worth a visit.....to the best of my knowledge (though it may be worth double checking) this place is not open on Mondays....01472 813300 DN36 5HY

If you haven't tasted one of Norburn's steak pie you haven't lived. The steak pies are really nice with plenty of home cooked veg,and there is plenty of choice of other meals, salads panninis etc and the ice cream is some of the best I have tasted. There is quite a large seating are outside. the staff are very polite and helpful what more can I say just a good place to go for a meal and it is not expensive.

We send all our guests here as we rent cottages opposite. Particularly popular with our older guests who like traditional home cooked food. Children and adults love the home made ice cream. Lots of birds to see and well planted grounds.

Lovely Coffee and tea. All the cakes look lovely BUT try the Banoffee pie.Very good prices at the Café and the garden centre. Sit outside if you can.

After booking for 4 people for Sunday lunch, we arrived prompt at 1.30. We were approached by a member of staff who asked if we had booked, Then a gentleman approached us to say he was very sorry but they had ran out of food. We were even further shocked when he said what have we got left in the back - maybe a (pork chop). We could not believe what we heard and looked at each other in disgust at the quality of customer service. In our opinion running a restaurant does not mean running out of food and also having a system to ensure your bookings are kept in order, overall really bad service and customer care was zero out of ten, we ended up making a call from our car from the car park to another local restaurant who fell over backwards to get us a table, we had far superior food with better surroundings, this cost us more but we believe that you pay for what you get.

The worst thing about the restaurant is finding the telephone number in local directories ,I even surfed the web in.vain.I finally found a number,which rang continously betwen 12 - 1 pm and it was finally answered after numerous attempts,I assume they were serving lunch but a neglected ringing telephone can lose business.It was certainly worth all the effort and they do a 2 course meal plus drink at a special price and all the food is fresh cooked daily....

Great place to stop and eat whilst out for the day - plenty of homemade cakes, teacakes and filled paninis and toasted sandwiches for morning or afternoon tea/coffee. Yum, Yum.!!Hot meals including a carvery - reservations taken £11 for carvery, desert and drink. Lovely. seating inside in a relaxing green room or out in the conservatory in the warmth of the day. Peacocks and birds to watch in an avery outside. Parrots and other birds too - with their colourful plumage. Even a crafty shop onsite to browse too.Free pebble stoned car park - ample of spaces.Lovely waitresses. Clean and tidy.
