Poppies Cafe & Bistro in Breckland

Stayed @Yaxham Waters. Had bacon rolls , tea & coffee for breakfast. Food ect very nice but like other diners comments it was expensive for what you got.

2 of us came last week and had a small breakfast, medium tea and a latte. Breakfast was really good, tasty. But £25 total. This morning, we have come and had a hot chocolate and small slice of carrot cake, which was nice - and a fruit scone and latte, £17 total, which was ok. I asked for cream tea, but got told the scone didn't come with cream but it could be added, which I did. Not sure how much extra a tiny pot of Rodders is. I wasn't impressed on this visit unfortunately so I won't be back for food again. Maybe a tea/coffee, but not food. Staff are pleasant enough!

The food is absolutely fantastic, hot freshly cooked and served promptly. But, it is so expensive I was charged £28.00 for a sausage sandwich and sausage, egg and double bacon and two coffees. We actually had 4 coffees but the first two were cold but we still got charged. We often go to Waitrose in Swaffham or Arbuckles in Downham Market where the food is just as good but a fraction of the price.

Known as Pickle & Pie. Stopped to have breakfast and can only say positive things. Food excellent with great vegetarian and vegan options. Dog friendly. Staff helpful and accommodating :) we went for the main breakfast and the vegetarian sausage in a roll along with and extra sausage for the dog!

A family member and myself had the steak pie, it was 90% carrot with only 4 small pieces of beef. I had this last year and it was full of beef. It would be better to increase the cost of the meal or rename it carrot and beef pie. My dessert mint aero sundae, had less mint aero in than last year. Disappointing.

Food was very poor, menu was a scrappy dirty bunch of papers. Really wouldn’t bother. Tabnabs, The Acorn Hut or the Goat Shed are much better.

The place is definitely under new owners and is Clean, light and sunny interior. Excellent range of basic lunch or breakfast food plus a small portions menu. The chicken filet burger I had was lovely and Brenda’s beef burger was thick and tasty. Chips were excellent and the onion rings had a crispy batter and real onion interiors. An excellent range of sandwiches and Ploughman’s. Waitress service to the table was great too. The place seems to be associated with some other tourist attraction but it wasn’t clear what. It is obviously popular with families. The Pickle and Pie makes a great alternative stop just off the A47 at Yaxham.

Had passed this place many times but never called in. Took our friend here for a light lunch. We had jacket potato, ham,egg& chips, soup of the dat (carrot and thyme). All served with pleasant staff and failry quickly. Would recommend and will definately be returning.

Hi my boss took me an colleague here for breakfast this morning it was a last minute booking an he told them it was my birthday Firstly the staff are fab an so welcoming an food is fabulous an fresh plus they sang happy birthday an put little things on the table plus a little bottle of Prosecco honestly made my day to do something like that with such short notice was above an beyond this place is a little gem that I will be telling all my friends about Thank you Lainey

Let me just say that the food was generally OK and the service from Debs was excellent. The thing that ruined it was the response from Mel when my wife explained that the lasagne was so hot in the middle that she burnt her mouth. We weren't looking for a refund or discount, she just wanted a sincere apology and to know that they would try to make sure that this was something that wouldn't happen again. Mel was immediately on the defensive pointing out that the food had to be served piping hot, and only offered a half hearted apology as an after thought. The food does need to be 63 degrees centigrade or more, but not so hot that the customer burns their mouth and is unable to finish their meal. I would suggest that anyone ordering the lasagne or something similar lets it stand for a couple of minutes before eating it just to be sure. Also the garlic bread appeared to have been reheated not fresh as it was very chewy.

Travelling around Norfolk, we got lost! Popped into the Cafe and the lady could not be more helpful. Later that day we went back for lunch….which was lovely. Staff are really nice here, don’t listen to any negative reviews

Just had lunch with friend and her granddaughter and it was amazing. Fantastic food, best lasagne I have had in years. Friendly and efficient staff. Place was very busy and was run like clock work. Coffee is azaxing too

My mother treated me to lunch as I've not been well for a month she had good reviews about the place but don't always believe what you hear we were booked for 1pm but was told there would be a 25 min wait for food we were OK with that so we ordered steak jacket potato and salad x2 When it came the potato had been reheated and the skins were that hard you couldn't cut into them my mother's steak was that tough she asked me to swap with her for mine I ate one piece of the steak as it was that tough hardly any salad we called for the manager he was a re gentleman (NOT) no apology just said well you've eaten some of it I will refund you half or you can come back and have another meal I will be back at work and mother can't drive Poor food quality won't be going back and I won't recommend to anyone else

After being encouraged to visit poppies ,I was very disappointed with the Sunday Dinner ,the stuffing ball was so hard I had to soak it in the gravy,and the Yorkshire pudding was burnt and dehydrated, I'm sure that other meals might be better

We have been in for light meals a number of times. Even at times, when very busy they find places for the two of us. The staff are very good, the food we ordered was delivered quickly and enjoyable. Although some menu items are time-limited just ask and generally will be provided. Open every day with times for themed meals. Worth a call or check the web site

After the funeral we all enjoyed a Christmas afternoon tea at Poppies Cafe & Bistro. The staff were good. The food was good The Loo was clean
