Poppy Fields in North Norfolk

Dropped in for lunch, didn't have to wait for a table. The food was good and the staff were friendly and helpful

This place is great, food was fresh and delicious and they even had a high chair for our little one. Prices were reasonable, it was cash only which was the only annoying thing. They also had a separate kids menu with kid friendly favourites.

Hmm, a strange place. We stepped inside for a quick drink during a weekday morning visit. Once inside, neither the decor nor staff were inspiring. Dated, faded pictures on the wall. We cringed when one of the drinks was served with a filthy spoon and this had to be replaced but there was no apology, no shock from the staff, no care really. It summed the place up. If you leave a business in the care of unsupervised youngsters without effective customer training this is what you get. It's not impressive. No sooner had we stepped outside than we found a couple of other busy and delightful cafes, we will try them next time. Come on Poppy Fields, if you're using poppies as your decor theme, then get with it. Spend some money and get proper art, engage some local young talent, they'll do you proud. Your marketing strategy of leaving this cafe to fester is working.

Visited this cafe and found the staff quite rude, they were not very friendly and found to stare at us, food average, not an experience I wish to repeat, luckily the town of Sheringham has plenty of eateries.

Good service with friendly polite staff, our food came relatively quickly, was piping hot and delicious. Coffees were great too. We will definitely visit here again when in Sheringham. Great for people watching on the high street! We weren't rushed and the place was clean. Bootiful 👍🏻

We had been trying to find a café in Cromer the previous day with crab sandwiches on the menu ,but unsuccessfully, so was delighted to come across this establishment with them on their menu and available.

5 adult family members all in need of a bite to eat and a drink. Cafe was empty and we had to sort out a suitable table to accommodate one of our family in a wheelchair. Waitress brought menu which had good choice of sandwiches and drinks (not on the cheap side!) I asked what was available gluten free, and was told that they had nothing at all,sweet or savoury which was gluten free. My family felt that they couldn't all eat and leave me hungry, so we all had a drink and went to another cafe. What a disappointment for such a large cafe to not be able to offer ANYTHING at all.

went here on the friday before the 1940s weekend i had the toasted tuna melt sandwich and mum had the ham and tomato food came quick and i really enjoyed my sandwich and so did mum friendly bubbly waitress and its down the high street recommend

It's a real shame the outside of the building looks incredibly shabby. It must discourage people from entering because that is actually why we entered for that very reason: it wasn't busy. Food is good and the service is good but could be faster considering how quiet it was. However would still recommend if you want a cheap and cheerful lunch. Also what is it with every place selling 'Ice Water' bottled water round these parts??

Just been to Poppy Fields, the waitress was very polite and friendly. Delicious homemade cakes and generous portions. Beautiful mocha and coffees. The tables needed a wipe but apart from that we loved this tearoom.

After a good day of walking this was just what we needed. Good cuppa and food. Nice home made veggie chilli and for my husband steak and kidney Pud with lots of vegetables. Good home cooked food. Will be back. Cakes looked nice too. Prompt pleasant service.

Unassuming from the outside, and perhaps a little faded, but then, all the best breakfast cafes are. We’ve had a few full-English breakfasts in our time (an understatement), and this one did not disappoint, cooked freshly to order, we ate sausage, egg, bacon, mushrooms, hash browns and chose beans (the other option was tomatoes with a choice of tinned or fresh) and some of the best cooked fresh fried bread I’ve ever tasted. Lashings of toast on the side, although we did ask for extra, which was fresh, hot and tasty. The bacon was crisp but not over-cooked, the fried egg was perfect and the mushrooms tasted divine. With two full breakfasts, a speciality tea and an Americano coffee, the bill still came in under twenty quid. Well worth a visit if you’re in the area, am sure you won’t be disappointed! Sorry there are no photos, we couldn’t wait to tuck in!

Nice little cafe good menu , called in for coffee and a scone , very nice , staff might neend to keep an eye on when people come in and keep track , but other than that very good .

Went in Poppy Fields on a couple of occasions, mostly for coffee, but we did have a scone with jam and cream, which was very nice, even tho the scone was slightly over done. while our service was very good, we noticed a middle aged couple get up and walk out, they had been sitting there for a fair while but none of the girls went to take their order, now this could have been because the couple changed tables, to where another couple had just left, and the girls didn't notice? nothing wrong with the cafe itself, or the food, just seems to be young girls running it, and they all seemed to be seeing to their own orders that they had taken, instead of someone taking the orders and others doing them, seems as if no one was in charge

always had good food in here, we visit whenever were in sheringham, good food ,good service at a good price , highly recommend

Waited over 40 minutes for 2 baguettes. When they finally arrived - served with measly salad and a couple of plain crisps. Baguettes hard and difficult to eat with meagre amount of grated cheese with cheese and pickle one. Bill came to over £16.00 for 2 baguettes a diet coke and a tea£ Not impressed, will not be returning

awful service, slow, average to below food. overpriced. only 1 other group in the restaurant when we visited, but it took them over 30 minutes to serve our 4 £6 toasties, with their laughable salad garnish and a few ready salted walkers crisps. our £3.50 pot of tea for 2 with the extra pot of water contained 1 tea bag. wholly unsatisfactory and much pricier than anywhere else weve had great food in the area. steer well clear.

Had a lovely late lunch in here. Good food , nicely presented. So clean everywhere. The waitress was friendly and the service very quick.

My wife and I visited this establishment on a Sunday lunchtime. My wife ordered a jacket potato with cheese. This filling was ok although the potato skin was so hard she struggled to cut through it. However the big disappointment was my ham and cheese ploughman’s. It consisted of salad garnish, a pot of pickle (not Branston as detailed in the menu), soggy pickled onions, two thin slices of ham and the meanest piece of cheese which was about the size of my little finger. To rub it in there was a demi baguette and loads of butter! Far too much bread for the meagre quantity of meat and cheese. I enjoy a Ploughman’s and will often choose one when I’m eating out at lunchtime. Never have I had such a mean portion of cheese. In fact there is often too little bread. I have even been known to wrap leftovers in a napkin to take home ( Martha’s in Wales). The price was comparable with other establishments but the standard fell far short.

this is an excellent place for a full English served with a smile at a reasonable price. the ingredients were good quality and will return again soon

We enjoyed the food here. It was freshly cooked and piping hot. The 5 rating for cleanliness is much deserved. Everything was to our satisfaction.

I visited to have a coffee and a cake. I noticed they served flat white and ordered one. But I'm afraid it wasn;t it just tasted like a black coffee with milk, wasn't strong at all. The staff need training on the different types of coffee.

Stopped for a quick lunch. Lovely place clean, friendly staff, great food, good choice on the menu, reasonably priced with table service.

The tearoom, cafe STANK of fried food. I could feel it clinging to my hair and clothes. I ordered a scone and tea. The tea came and we waited for the scone to come when it did it was warm. I cut it in half and half again the first quarter was OK(ish) but I thought this is a bit stale but the second quarter was terrible as it cooled it became dry and the taste was very stale. I took the half back to the counter and told them it was stale. I asked if they have any fresh. The lady said she didn't she asked would I like cake instead I looked at the cake it looked equally old and dry. I said no thank you. The lady said she would give me my money back I went back to the table after about 5 minutes the lady came and slapped £1.20 on the table. I guessed that was for half the scone that I didn't eat. Not a pleasant experience. I won't be calling again. Thank you

At first glance this establishment might not seem very inviting. However I do recommend that you step inside and give it a try. You will be pleasantly surprised. It has an extensive menu of snacks,m ain meals and afters. Accompanied by drinks. We had home made broccoli bake with chips and salad. The food was hot. While it was quiet when we first entered the café was full when we left with late holidaymakers and locals. So they must be doing something right.However you may have to wait until the 2018 season starts as they close for the Winter.

Discovered this cafe about two years ago, and we use every time we visit Sheringham.

We visited here for coffee, nice staff but strange watery coffee in glass mugs, there are lots more far better places in the immediate vicinity to visit, this cafe is in the main street, very convenient but sadly we didn't rate it at all, wouldn't go again.

Fancied fish & chips & as punters in window were all alive & kicking ventured inside. Sad looking waitress I felt had been to the Borgias charm school, but hey the food was delicious.

The restaurant looked quite inviting and had a good range of food on offer. The time we went was at the end of a busy lunch service Service was slow and we got our baguette about 45 mins after ordering. Childs hot meal also ordered which arrived at the same time. The food was good enough but the salad garnish could be improved.

Éramos un grupo de 4 adultos y 2 niños que decidimos almorzar aquí. El menú tenía una buena selección de platos para satisfacer todos los gustos, la comida era muy sabrosa y caliente. A mí personalmente me gustó como varios platos venían con la opción de patatas fritas o chaqueta de patatas. 3 chicas eran tan impresionado que volvimos más tarde en la tarde para el té y rebanadas de pastel casero, que también eran preciosas.

Éramos 5 personas en nuestro grupo, todos tenían un café y pastel. 1 persona tenía algo caliente y este fue un panecillo, tenían que desayuno esperar 45 minutos para que venga su pab. Nos dieron nuestras bebidas aproximadamente 5 minutos después de pedir, pero no el pastel durante unos 20 - 25 minutos. Sin duda no vayas si tienes hambre me temo.

Nos detuvimos para comer y el servicio fue rápido y cortés. Mi esposa y yo tuvimos una comida vegetariana, lasaña de calabacines, llena de pimientos, etc. y el otro con una Misa del gallo (la carne estaba hecha con lasaña verdi). Las comidas llegó rápidamente, no cocinados a la orden, pero casero, con guarnición y patatas fritas de acompañamiento (otras opciones disponibles). El tamaño de las porciones eran muy buenos. Nuestros casi 3 años había salchichas, patatas y judías y lo disfruté. Las tres comidas con una taza de té para dos (casi tres tazas cada uno) y un refresco era de alrededor de £27, nos pareció razonable. No hay pago con tarjeta pero hay cajeros automáticos cerca.

Late ,Sunday afternoon , a cup of tea was all we wanted, everywhere shutting up shop we spotted a young girl cleaning the tables in Poppy fields ,any chance of a cup I enquired , even though she must have been desperate to close cups of good tea emerged with a smile and a very good price .Very much appreciated and highly recommended.

Went as a foursome and received prompt service and modern English cuisine. They do not have a liquor licence nor do they have EFTPOS, so make sure you have cash. They're at the low to mid range of pricing and the variety of jacket potatoes on offer was surprising, most of the delicious.

this is a cosy,nice restaurant on the high street in sheringham.we went here for a quick bite before heading to the beach.we had prawn baguettes,an orange sponge cake,tea and a coffee.the service was nice and quick and the food was good.even though this is not a massive restaurant,it has plenty of seating and is not crammed at all.it is a clean place and is a great place to start your day in sheringham.

Popped in on a Saturday lunchtime (7 of us) as there was a big enough table free.Had some lovely grub - full English for me, with a cuppa. A little bit of a wait for food but that was to be expected at a busy time.Everyone was more than happy with their food and drinks and the lovely waitress knocked a bit off the bill for us too.Super stuff.

On holiday popped to Sheringham for wander and came across this tearoom. The hot chocolate was so nice after another wander returned for lunch which was really nice. Would definitely recommend veggie chillie. Service very good and loo on same level if you have someone with mobility probs.

On holiday in Sherringham and wanted a rest in the afternoon and had walked passed this cafe in the morning and decided to try the food later. We ordered toasted teacakes which were large and spicy. The cakes on display looked fresh for £3 per slice with a choice on the day of chocolate, lemon drizzle, Victoria sandwich, coffee, carrot, caramel apple and others - too many to mention. Scones looked homemade for £1. Don't forget to take your cash as no cards accepted. There are 11 tables to relax at. The toilet facilities are compact and hand gel available. Would definitely visit again if in the area.

Stopped in here when we got to Sheringham to have some lunch. The portion sizes were pretty good though limited gluten-free options. Had a bit of a panic when we realised that they only take cash, no card payments, so had to dash out to find a cash point.

Had late lunch here, good portions sadly no gluten free options and with no soup had a ploughman minus the bread. Good service and friendly staff.

We called in here for a quick snack to carry us on as we did not want a big meal. All the food here is cooked to order so there may be a short delay which is quite acceptable. The light lunch was enjoyable and did it's job filling a corner. A very clean restaurant and if we are in the area again and want a 'lite bite' then we shall remember it.

We stopped here for a tea and cake recently and found it to be nice and accommodating, so a little surprised at some of the reviews.Would we revisit, certainly.

We were only going into the restaurant for a toasted sandwich, but ended up having the all day breakfast. Unbelievable value, 2 bacon, egg, sausage, 2 hash browns, mushrooms, fried bread and a tea or coffee £8.00. The service and food were first class

Unable to review this place. We went for lunch and were given a menu on sitting down, then the waitress ignored us.She took orders from a table full of ladies who came in five minutes AFTER us. We continued to wait but still no joy,.....so we left !

Popped in for lunch and had a very pleasant ploughman's. A good sized salad and nice ham and cheese. The wife had the crab salad , crab served prepared but back in its she'll. My daughter ordered a tuna baguette and it was huge and tons of tuna. Very pleasant colleagues and bread warmed/cooked fresh so tastes great. Only 1 mark off for warm squash. But when we mentioned this its was replaced with cold and iced squash. Well worth popping in :-)

Old fashioned, traditional café / restaurant serving (mostly) traditional British food.It was a hot day; we opted for salads, chicken and ham respectively. Can't grumble about portion size, freshness or value for money, both very good. However what was included in the salad, lacked finesse or modernity. The service was conducted by two ladies, the older one was affable and positive. The younger one gave the impression of being sullen and disinterested, perhaps she had just had some bad news that day.Not taking card payments is potentially awkward. Make sure you have sufficient cash in your pocket!Good place for no nonsense traditional food.

We were the only customers mid afternoon so no atmosphere.We opted for salad which was adequate,but with no frills very basic..

We had lunch in here about a year ago, and it was OK. Efficient, cheap and perfectly edible. But now (we discovered all too late) it's under new management.First, they have kept the dull and everso slightly depressing decor. The waitress was not a very cheerful individual, which in a holiday resort is a bit off, I feel. She may have had problems, who knows? The food. Oh dear. £9 for some slabs of iceberg lettuce, lumps (yes, lumps) of carrot, about 8 thick slices of onion, a quartered tomato, some wedges of celery and some cucumber with the skin still on. It was like going back to 1973. Some prawns, and the crusty roll (no choice, just white) I suspect of being one of those long life,half baked jobs. My husband had haddock and chips, which looked terrible, a fact that he confirmed. I will say one thing. The salad was served at a nice temperature. I hate salad that is just out of the fridge. I imagine this was more luck than judgement.

They are open only during summer time and this was my first visit for this year. I enjoyed our lunch.Tea pot and cup were poppy themed matching the interiors. A generous portion of chips was hot and crispy. The only thing I noticed missing was very friendly staff who was there last summer but other than that it's a good place for lunch.

We were looking after a toddler yesterday. What to do? - chips at Sheringham. But the chip shop was closed, and I felt like cod. We called in at Poppy Fields and had a table in the window. Excellent. Friendly. Prompt. COD and chips. Good. Scampi and chips. Good. "Cash Only - No Credit Cards." Why on earth...? In a restaurant....? But it was an OK meal, plus chips and drinks. £22.50. Not bad.

My daughter and I stopped here for a late lunch. We were told rather abruptly that they were only serving drinks, no food. We ordered a pot of tea as we were cold and thirsty. Later some more people came in and they ordered tea cakes and were served them. This was our second visit, and although the toasties were quite good, we won't be going there again. Some customer service training might be a good idea!

Popped in for lunch, we both had a sausage baguette, which was full of sausage, came with a basic salad and crisps, we also shared a portion of cheesy chips. It was very filling. Plastic tablecloths, easy to wipe down, but not particularly attractive. The latte and decaf coffee were both very hot.

We stopped for lunch on Saturday, and had a really good lunch, great value with excellent service. Can really recommend.

We went there on friday looked nice outside and inside great we orderd a breakfast bap and coffee really nice food staff nice well worth the money would come back. Great place

We ate here with our 2 grandchildren and found it had a good selection on the menu for all tastes. Table service so no queuing. Ploughman's was a good size ( £8 ) while our grandson said the fish, chips and peas were excellent ! ( £8 ). Friendly staff, service good and reasonable price for a seaside café. Would eat here again.

We visited for a tea-time meal and found a good choice available on the menu. Both the food and the service was "above average". We'll re-visit

Food was cooked fresh as ordered good amount very nice staff on the down side it is quite small and the toilet is very small no good if you need a wheelchair

The food is great and the staff are friendly. Excellent value for money. I live about an hours drive away, and visit as often as I can during the summer.

We popped into Poppy Fields on a recent visit to Sheringham, specifically to have a cheese and ham toastie. We weren't disappointed, they were lovely - lots of gooey cheese and good quality ham - all nicely toasted but not overdone - lovely and soft. There was a bit of a wait for them - I think they could do with more staff in the kitchen to be a bit swifter. Great value though and tasty. We had takeaway cakes - choc orange and caramel apple which were delicious. My mum had carrot cake, but didn't eat it straightaway, and said it was a bit hard. I would recommend eating the cakes asap - as ours were very moist.

our third visit, we pop in for breakfast on the way home after weekend break. it was nice and it was clean, friendly staff. only had toast and jam it was nice to have plenty of butter, same places you don't get that. my partner had the bacon, sausage and egg bap which he enjoyed. he had English breakfast last time which he enjoyed he thought it will try something different. overall all fine.

I live 20 miles from Sheringham, but I visit this cafe a few times every year. I've always found the staff friendly and I really enjoy the food. It's good value for money. I definitely recommend it.

Myself and my husband like to treat our self to a breakfast once ever so often in a café in Sheringham. Over the year we have been to many of them and thought we would try Poppy Fields.The food took longer to be served but was defiantly worth the wait. Everything was piping hot. So you knew it was all cooked fresh and didn't matter that we had to wait a little bit longer. We got 2 large breakfast's with toast, One Pot of tea, One coffee and 2 orange Juices. It came to about £20 pounds. Well worth it!For 2 sausages, 3 bacon, 2 egg, 2 harsh brown, Mushroom, tinned or fresh Toms or Baked beans with 4 slices of toast!The service is wonderful too. Young girls serving and always smiling! Will defiantly be visiting again!

Slipped in here out of the rain yesterday and had a great home from home cooked lunch. Service great, food excellent; no pretensions, you get what you ask for with a smile. Highly recommended.

Attended restaurant during the 40's weekend and 6 of us wanted to sit together at a table but the staff refused to allow this. We were astonished at the lack of customer friendliness and took our custom elsewhere. This seems a restaurant where customer service is low on the list. So in future we will avoid this hostilely. If you want good service I suggest you do the same.

We stopped off at this delightful place we only wanted a light snack we both had a sandwich and a pot of tea it was homely and cosy with attractive red décor and crockery with poppies on. Service was efficient and friendly would come here again

This is the third year that we have visited Sheringham and always make sure that we visit Poppyfields at least a couple of times during our stay.They provide good tasty meals there, which are very good value.Our only disappointment this year was that they had stopped providing evening meals the day before our holiday (1st September).

Ate here twice while on holiday, pleasant staff & good food at very reasonable prices. Don't be put off by the outside in need of a little TLC.

A hidden gem. A wide selection of wonderful food and the food we ordered was cooked to perfection. Very pleasant staff. We will definitely be going again.

Went here for a lunch during August 2013 after another, more expensive looking, place across the road (name escapes me) could not seat us as all their tables were either taken or reserved.This was definitely a nice surprise. Don't be put off by the slightly tired-looking interior decor. Simple fare but done well and reasonably priced. I had the deluxe burger. Much bigger and better than the supposed equivalent meal in a chain pub. The other people I was with all enjoyed their meals too.

good plain food but well cooked. not a great choice but fine. Good service. good for childrens meals too. Fresh veg. not frozen.

We arrived latish afternoon, and first thing we saw was plates with quite a lot of food left on them, but I had read good reviews so we pressed on. We were not disappointed there was 4 of us and we all had something different and it was all very good. I had steak & kidney pie and a very good selection of 4 different veg. nice change as I like my veg. Know why food left on the plates as portions are large. My only compaint really as I would have liked a dessert but was too full.Vety good value for money.Would recommend and would go again if in Sheringhamm

Arrived late on August bank holiday Monday back into town. Poppies was one of the few eateries open. Young lady took our simple order with a smile. The tea was served in a teapot. The cakes were fresh. Even as more customers arrived the staff were still smiling and helpful. I can throughly recommend this eatery!

Very average cafe, saved by friendly service. Went on a bank holiday Sunday, and they were the only place we could find that could seat 6 people. That in hindsight should have made our alarm bells sound.

Having walked past this little cafe on my way down to the seafront many times on my numerous visits to Sheringham and the surrounding area, I decided to give it a go & I'm glad to say I wasn't disappointed. Two members of our party opted for the homemade steak and kidney pudding with season vegetables or chips (I'm glad to say they ordered one of each which meant I could have a look at both options), one ordered cod, chips & peas, and I ordered plaice, new potatoes & peas (didn't fancy chips). Didn't wait too long for our food about 10 minutes and when it arrived I was pleasantly supprised. The portions were generous and the steak & kidney puddings looked huge & proved to be very tasty. My plaice was tasty, well-cooked & moist and the new potatoes were served with pats of butter to melt over them. The chips however I think were the oven variety and although hot, not a good as homemade. But as the whole meal for four people with drinks came to just under £40 I would say it was fairly good value for money.
