Ravenous Cafe in South Norfolk

We really enjoy the regular choice of menu along with a Specials board and interesting cakes in a relaxed friendly atmosphere set in a beautiful part of south Norfolk.

If you are looking for somewhere to have a nice, homemade bowl of soup and a pot of tea - I highly recommend this little gem.

Lovely little find; very accommodating, nice and spacious for pram access with a range of dairy/gluten free options also should you need this. Contactless/Apple Pay accepted too so couldn’t be easier to have a nice little cake break with the family. Very reasonably priced and children’s toys available to keep them entertained.

Stopped off at this little gem of a Cafe on Tuesday, after doing the sculpture trail. What can I say the food is absolutely lovely, really well priced. The staff were really lovely. Will definitely be visiting here again. What an absolute hidden gem of a place. Really enjoyed my visit. Well done to all concerned

Loved the Waveney sculpture trail...such variety of art and sculpture displayed in a beautiful outdoor setting and stopped off part way through for ice creams at this lovely little cafe. Would happily return for lunch and a coffee.

My friends found this gorgeous hidden gem and told me I must go. A friend and I went for lunch on Saturday. With ample car parking on arrival. You walk inside its got that lovely warm homely feeling. You get a smile from the staff as soon as you walk in. It's all laid out lovely with higher chairs for the older generation. It's a place I will take my parents as my Mum needs higher chairs to get in and out of. There is a good choice on the menu to cater for everyone. A children's area to keep them occupied. The food is lovely and just the right amount. I can highly recommend the brie and bacon panini was lovely. Nice bacon not mostly fat. Loved having a look around the shops after. There is nothing not to love about this hidden gem. I highly recommend it for all generations. Thank you to the staff. We will be visiting again.

This place is charmingly retro and different. The staff are great and friendly and the breakfasts veggie and not at 6 quid a go are great. Massive pots of tea and there’s 70’s second hand China to buy and a great rug and second hand clothes shop off the side. Cyclists and dog owners are welcome and it’s a really genuine place which is worth a visit in a lovely country side area.Mach.

We visited the sculpture trail and so coffee & scones were just what we need to fuel our artistic exploration. The cakes were tempting, but the scones won - large, fruity and served with lots of butter & jam. It was a warm afternoon too, so we could enjoy them sitting outside in the sun. Very English food in a delightfully English setting.

'Where shall we meet for brunch now the children are back at school?' Obvious choice 'The Ravenous Cafe again of course'. Another lovely brunch/lunch meeting, we started with coffee outside and moved inside to our booked table for our food. As always, totally delicious, and thanks to Rachel (or hostess with the mostess) for the great service, she looked after us very well indeed. See you all again soon

I was working at the Hatads Archive here and popped in for lunch and was really impressed, lots of homemade options that were all excellent as was the service. Really lovely setting too.

Called in at the cafe after visiting Waveney Valley sculpture trail and was rewarded by tea and cakes surrounded by art works, lovely little place tucked away in the Raveningham Centre.

They prove that simple food doesn't have to be boring and can be delicious. Breakfast tastes very nice and is cooked as it should. Very family and kids friendly, even very friendly to us adults. You just feel relaxed and at ease here.

Delicious cooked breakfast in a very relaxed setting. A good place to meet and gossip, and browse the stalls and shops within the centre.

Great food and cakes, there's a small table of toys and books which help parents to have an enjoyable visit. Good high chairs (by that I mean not the useless wooden ones you get everywhere). Very friendly staff and lovely atmosphere.

Went for the first time today.Well worth the visit and will go again.Food excellent particularly the individual quiche and ploughman's and grandson are all his sandwiches.Staff very pleasant and quick service.Pleasant surroundings and a good reasonable prices.

Jenny and I almost stumbled on this on a cycle ride in the South Broads - not even mentioned in our route guide. Excellent nosh: we turned the tempting-sounding all-day breakfast (just too big!) and went for the home-made pea and mint soup with great doorsteps of fresh brown bread and butter - delicious. Cappuccinos to follow were beautifully-presented but quite strong: good for me, a bit too much for Jenny. There's a nice ambience and some huge and striking embroidery wall hangings on display too, and the staff are dead friendly. Well worth tracking this down.

Excellend food at very reasonable prices. Visited by chance as visiting the sculpture trail but will definitely return.

Stopped out for a pot of tea and coffee...fantastic scone, old fashioned cream and jam. Hubby loved his bacon sandwich. Just great. Lovely team in the kitchen and beautiful surroundings - stunning koi!

Así que bueno, la verdad es que no queríamos irnos!

Have been in a few times for breakfast, can't beat it, always a great way to start the weekend! Lots of interesting things to look at.

A lovely setting, lovely staff and, yes, lovely grub. Lunches, breakfasts, cake and teas, including red bush for us ex-caffeine addicts, a selection of home made cakes including gluten free - just the job A classy joint :)

Pleasant surroundings but woefully short staffed and a very limited menu. Fine for a coffee but the cakes looked rather dry and there were no scones on view at all. All a bit amateurish.

Fuimos para un desayuno tarde y este lugar es todavía muy bien. Acogedor y confortable, con un desayuno muy agradable de ingredientes de calidad.

Este Café es un favorito con nosotros para un desayuno maravilloso. Recién preparado, precioso y generoso ingredientes para repetir. El café es muy bueno también!

Friendly, welcoming and relaxed atmosphere, the Ravenous Cafe situated in the Raveningham Centre and serves great home cooked food in a homely, comfortable country cafe.

This is a wonderful friendly place to visit, it is not just a cafe, it is an antiques show room, art exhibition, vintage clothes store and genuine eastern prayer rug store. Look out for their antiques boot fair, art boot fair, or any other special weekend they put on.Wander around the Elizabethan farm house buildings and grounds looking at all things antique, whilst enjoying good coffee, food and home made cakes.Look out for the open Mike nights as well.

Have been here a couple of times with my partner, hot chocolate is amazing! Food is good value and lovely friendly staff

Unlike a lot of coffee places that just put a shot of coffee and top it up with water these guys run the water through the coffee giving you a great cup of decent coffee.Also home made cakes too

We live nearby and often wander down to the cafe to grab a breakfast or light lunch just because it's not home (and doesn't have the stresses of home) but has that homely feeling. You can completely be yourself here with sofas, tables and chairs and space for active for kids. Come as you are and chill out for an hour or two with those you care about with good homemade cheap food and amazing cakes. Combine it with a wander around the centre with a visit to the kite maker in her sewing barn, the clockmaker, Hobbies, the tiling barn, the charming rug centre and the Patchwork Cow selling excellent value second hand nursery equipment/toys. Don't expect 'avant garde' cuisine or a massive menu but do expect down time with locals and visitors alike. It's that kind of place and well worth supporting.

Delightful cafe comfortable and friendly. Excellent food at a value for money price. Since discovering this little jewel it has become a regular visit.

So glad we stopped here on Friday morning after visiting Patchwork Cow. We were attracted by the gorgeous smell of cooking bacon. A quirky little cafe with very friendly staff we ordered bacon sandwiches and cups of tea. the sandwiches were delicious thick fluffy fresh white bread and very tasty Crosby back bacon. Good quality English Breakfast and Earl Grey teas. The cafe is surrounded by vintage clothes, we picked a few bargains ! All in all super stop off which I would highly recommend and I will certainly be repeating. thank you x

We often go for a late breakfast on a Sunday. The food is always well cooked and sufficient and I always leave full and happy. Staff are always very helpful

Had a wonderful, good quality breakfast served by extremely friendly staff. The cafe is also joint to a small vintage clothing and textile store with some real gems hidden inside, all with reasonable price tags! A lovely place to find some hidden treasures and eat some tasty treats!

Very good choice of delicious food freshly prepared for you. Very reasonably priced too. Children are welcomed and drawing equipment available to keep them amused.

Had a 'full English' here recently and it was very good indeed, especially the quality of the sausages.It's a quirky place with friendly staff and there's also a good range of vintage clothes/carpets/antiques to browse among afterwards.

Went for breakfast this morning with my wife and daughter. Very friendly place with plenty of space and good seating inside and out. All our breakfasts were very good and had fresh local ingredients. The bacon was especially good. The food arrived quite quickly along with a pot of tea and a good cappuccino. once we had finished eating we ordered more drinks and sat for a while as we felt unhurried.We will go back soon.

This gem is off the beaten track but well worth a detour off the A146 or if visiting nearby Beccles. The cafe is in a converted barn and serves up excellent value tea and coffee and delicious home made cakes and pastries. The ambience is laid back, lots of sofas, well spaced tables and relaxed setting. On our visit there was veg, honey and herbs for sale. Check out their website as there are numerous events, which provide additional interest. Service was excellent and friendly.
