Route 11 Kitchen in Breckland

We always stop at this place as a family on our way to our caravan and have breakfast but today we didn't need breakfast but just the toilet and it was disgraceful that they had a gatekeeper for the toilets and you could not use them until you bought something. I saw so many families with kids having no other choice but to buy something just to use the toilet. It's best to be transparent and take down the signs you currently have and put up some that state PAY TOILETS FROM 1.00. Coming here for breakfast never had this issue but today saw that this is the kind of business that makes parents pay for their kids to use the toilet.... Such a shame.

Independent coffee shop and cafe on the A11, good food and coffee with pleasant service and clean well appointed dining room plus outside tables.

The attlebrugh sign tells me it’s coffee time - Route11 diner is just down the road. We stopped for coffee and cake, tasted homemade and a toasted sandwich for the other half.the coffee is always good and the cake was amazing, coffee and walnut with lots of walnuts and coffee icing. Shame it’s on the opposite side when we travel back!

The food is good and a nice atmosphere. Staff friendly and helpful. Great selection of motorcycle gear in the shop. Well worth a visit.

We stopped over for a quick snack and coffee. The food was really good and the staff were really friendly. The place was so clean.

Roadside cafe with motorcycle theme, good atmosphere, toilets OK. I visited 3 times, so the first 2 times were OK. This time I waited for 30 minutes for a sausage and egg roll. Upon enquiring, I was told that there had been a problem with the oven. I wonder how much longer I would have been left to wait. It wasn't busy. Looking around I guessed I was the only person waiting for cooked food. I wonder how much longer they would have let me sit there? I also don't really believe the "problem with the oven" line. I think they just forgot me while they were wheeling a motorcycle out of and in through the restaurant entrance. And then made up the story instead of admitting that they had forgot me. If I had a problem with an oven at home, I wouldn't know how long it would take me to fix it. And with only one customer tell, I'd tell that customer. Although I am a motorcyclist, I won't be visitng the Route 11 cafe again. There is a Starbucks and a McDonalds co-located at Snetterton, nearby. I'll go there instead. What a shame.

Stopped here at about 13:00 hours on Wednesday the 3rd of August 2022. The place was clean, there were a few customers in being served. We placed our orders and they were delivered quickly. This is not gourmet food. It is good cooking served well. I had ham egg and chips and thoroughly enjoyed it. The chips I had were definitely the best I had in the two days I spent on the Norfolk coast.

Great breakfast, served quickly by friendly staff, very reasonably priced. Everything you want! Lots of veggie and gluten free options too.

I visited for the first time on Sunday morning with a group of my friends who have previously visited on bikes. Met the owner Christine in the car park who showed us where to park up , so super friendly welcome . We sat outside , plenty of seating inside and out , place looked very clean . Ordered my breakfast it was ready in 10 mins . The breakfast was vey good . The place is really popular and I am not surprised, look forward to a return visit .

This is a great cafe with excellent food and a fresh friendly feel. Not posh but perfect for a brunch or bite. The staff are lovely and really helpful. I had the bikers brunch which is filling,tasty and good quality. The menu is not huge but has all the favourites including the Sunday lunch. We will return.

We wanted a light lunch on our route. This had space - though noisy! - to site outside with our dog. The staff were welcoming and efficient. There was the added attraction of new and visiting motorbikes.

Awful experience. Food took over an hour to arrive. Waitress tried to argue about timing inspite of time stamp on till- my son was in tears because of her rudeness. Tables sticky and toilets filthy. Really disappointing.

We have used this little café for several years now, as a rest stop on the way to the nearby holiday camps. The food is of good quantity, the service is excellent. In the current situation, it was operating with COVID safety in mind, with a one way system and gel available (and screens around staff contact points). My only criticism would be that the toilets could do with a lick of paint, but that doesn't detract from the café itself.

Wow what can I say. We were out on a ride and had been told that Route 11 were open until 5pm. We got there at just past half 3 and were told that the closed at half 3. We were disappointed but all credit goes to Chrissie who made us teas and cakes and Magnums for which we all loved her for. Now that is brilliant customer service and I am sure I speak for us all when I say thank you Chrissie.

Good hearty breakfast, clean and appealing. Just keep in mind it’s a bikers cafe. But all welcome. Worth a stop.

Another great day at route11 great food friendly staff quick service. This is my second ride out to route 11 definitely woont be my last . Hope for more sunny days on route 11👍👍

Great place to ride to, a warm welcome, friendly faces and great food. Bikes, cars, vans and old time classics catered for.

Good system In place for Covid regulations, one way and another way out. Tables spaced, plenty of room. Decent cup of coffee, ordered at the counter and brought to our table. Plenty of car parking spaces and tables out side and facilities really clean. Good stop off point for a coffee or a meal.

Mixed feelings about route 11. Can't fault the quality of the food or service but still thought that for 2 teas and breakfasts for £20 was a bit expensive.

Having dropped in here so many times on our way to Caister.. We just stopped to get drinks and food but we didn't go in this time,,Signs say no dogs except guide dogs.So off we go to spend £20 down the road

really good coffee and nice place for bikers. Friendly staff and social distancing recommended. A real pleasure to visit this establishment on my travels around Norfolk.

If you want breakfast or other snacks this is the place to go .could not fault .anything . Breakfast under £6 local sausages

Surprisingly good, the food was excellent, the service swift.My wife had a chicken Sunday roast, it was really tasty with plenty of veg and all the trimmings. I had Ham, egg and chips, the ham was home cooked and thick cut, the eggs had very yellow and tasty yokes. Excellent

Just had lunch here food was good, service great, very clean staff keep busy when not serving they are sweeping or tidying and checking everything is up to scratch. Very friendly without being intrusive.

Currently sat here en route to Gt Yarmouth having eaten a "modified" roast dinner. The chef came out and discussed my dietary requirements and rustled up an amazing meal! Friendly staff, nothing is too much trouble. Will remember this place for future reference, highly recommend

We very much enjoyed our visit today, the staff were really polite and helpful and the hospitality was second to none. Will definitely drop in again on my way through.

First time at Route 11, seemingly a cafe for bikers, or people going beyond Norwich but wanting a bite to eat.Breakfasts were big on the menu and looking at other diners’ meals seemed good value for money. We wanted lunch and there’s not a great variety available. Lots of snack type food though.I had a premium burger - a quarter pounder and was disappointed as I’ve had these at McDonalds and theirs were much bigger and tastier. Lots of chips and a pot of homemade coleslaw. My wife had a jacket potato with salad. - quite a few toppings available.Prices for all meals was reasonable and people serving were friendly and helpful.

My wife and I had just driven 90 miles on our way to Norwich and we were both feeling hungry and thirsty and needed a nice cuppa and something to eat. We stopped here at Rt11 and initially were pleased with the general layout and atmosphere of the place. We ordered 2 teas and I said I would like a bacon sandwich and as my wife was choosing something I was told we are not serving hot food now just hot drinks. I felt disappointed because all the other people were tucking in to delicious looking all-day breakfasts etc. So I said can we at least have a couple of slices of toast and after a word with the kitchen staff we were allowed to have just toast with our teas. We took our seats and waited for the 2 bits of toast to arrive as other diners around were being served with plates of tasty hot food:(. Then our toast arrived - that was a joke, 2 slices of unappetising pieces of cheap white dry bread that didn't look as though it had been within 6 feet of a toaster! We were so hungry we tried to eat it but it was awful, there was hardly any nutritional value. We just left it on the plate and walked out YUK!! went over to Starbucks over the road and had a tasty toasty - much nicer.

Excellent service very helpful and accommodating as we were travelling with our pet dog. Food could not be faulted. I had coconut soya milk as I am dairy intolerant. Will definitely visit again

made to feel welcome. Manager very friendly and accommodated our spaniel travelling with us . Food was great and reasonably priced. Definitely stop again !

Decided to stop for a break, and found route 11 by surprise.How glad we did. This is a Bikers Cafe , But what a welcome we had, considering there was about 65 Old age pensioners ( some with Mobility problems ) we were seated and served with smiling and welcoming staff. The service was very good the food very plentiful and hot. This is one not to miss on your trip to the Norfolk coast.

Popped in with my son for breakfast place was very clean and nice staff.food was lovely we both had a large breakfast where the eggs were well nice only complaint is if your paying £7 upwards for breakfast include a tea or coffee most cafes do.will definitely eat here again.

Have passed Route 11 many times but not stopped as only 50 minutes from home.

ON a 200 mile trip to Norfolk we looked for somewhere for lunch. Not wishing to use service stations we hit the jackpot with Route 11. Excellent food, excellent service, friendly staff and very clean premises.

Stopped as passing - clean - friendly - nice furniture - bright and airy - was a Friday lunch time - about 15 customers - looks like it may sear around 60/70 if full. Lots of menu choices to suit everyone. We had enjoyable breakfast in a welcoming environment .... ps . No dogs allowed :(

Good food with good customer service and I will come again sometime, it’s biker and family friendly and I loved the food

Popped in to feed two hungry toddlers. The staff made lots of fuss of them, bringing princess cutlery over. More than happy to split a adult meal for them to share too. Sausage rolls were tasty too! Reasonable prices.

Stopped here, on our way to Hemsby. Noticed a sign for services and turned in. First impressions were good, clean clear windows and a grass area. Went inside to order coffee etc and wow! Welcoming, comfortable seating areas and best off, my scone was warmed up and served with jam and butter, coffee was superb, like I said....

On route to the broads we stopped here. Service was good and food was good. Will stop off here again when driving up this way.

Visited for a large vegetarian breakfast, veg sausages were nice, mushrooms were raw. The rest of the breakfast was OK, eggs were hard. My partner had a latte which he said was black and burnt. And a large bikers breakfast, he didn't enjoy the mushrooms either or black pudding. Would of cost 32 pounds which seems expensive. Nice friendly staff. And quick service

Food was basic obviously ran out of bread as one sandwich was from a pre cut loaf

Tasty burgers and friendly staff, would recommend them for a stop anytime, even my children were happy

Brilliant food, friendly staff, lovely atmosphere. Everyone is made welcome on 2 wheels or more. Best stop off on the A11 northbound.

We were looking for somewhere to stop off and grab some dinner on our way home after a long weekend away. We decided to stop in at Route 11. The restaurant appeared clean inside and the staff were friendly and polite. They have plenty of options on the main menu that can be made at a reduced size for children. Both of my children chose to have sausage chips and beans and ate the whole lot. My husband had the chicken and bacon salad. His only complaint was that the coleslaw had mustard in and it wasn’t very nice. I had the lasagne. I could tell it was homemade which a good thing is normally but it didn’t have any white sauce in it, it was just layers of pasta and Bolognese. The Bolognese between the layers of pasta was dry and not saucy at all. The lasagne had obviously been microwaved because the bottom layer was really hard and the whole thing was dried out. The garlic bread that came on the side was wet and soggy to the point you could squeeze the liquid out of it. I have ordered a side of cheesy chips. The chips used were different o the ones the kids had. The kids chips were quite chunky and looked quite good although not homemade as advertised. The chips we were given were really really skinny and were a little bit hard. Admittedly I didn’t mention this to the staff as we had been on a really long journey and just wanted to get on and I had already paid when I ordered the food.

My two daughters and I visited on Saturday 1st June at about midday on route to visiting family in Norfolk and popped in for a quick breakfast and a cuppa. We had a lovely welcome from the young ladies who continued to impress with lovely service and warming smiles. The food was great, lovely flavours and well cooked. All in all it was a great visit and I would definitely recommend. We look forward to going again soon.

We arrived with our car club and had a table reserved. They all enjoyed their meals so well done to the hard working staff. Thank you for 'left jacket' situation. On realising we'd left it I called and they confirmed it wasn't there. Once we met the rest of the car club we found someone had collected it for us. Route 11 called back to check that all was OK.

Love this place, food is locally sourced, beautifully cooked and served by friendly staff. The breakfasts are fantastic, and very good value for money.

I dared to question a price rise of a cheeseburger, from £4.80 to over £6 within a 2 week period. I had made the decision not to have the burger, when the lady behind the counter decided to waved a menu under my nose and told me to look at it. She then stomp off saying she was getting the owner.

Stopped off with a group of golfers on our way to Cromer. What a treat for breakfast with 3 options for an English, either the 1 of everything, or 2 for the hungry the Bikers with 3 of everything, sausage, bacon, black pudding but only 2 eggs. One of our group had this and managed to eat it all, difficulty to move afterwards.

We took granddaughters there for late Sunday afternoon snacks. The staff were excellent in their welcome and cheerfulness. Several very middle-class looking bikers arrived and conversed quietly. Another chap watched a film, loudly, on his phone - but he was almost the required 'interesting character' in this very visitable and singular eatery.

Spacious open restaurant with ample parking for cars and bikers.

Stoped here on way to visit friends excellent place staff friendly food excellent very clean will visit again

Love stopping at Route 11 every time we travel up to Cromer - about every couple of weeks. The staff are just so nice and attentive and really do take care of you. My favourite is the Gluten free breakfast (fellow travellers have the standard and large breakfast). Produce is locally sourced and you really notice the difference. Great ambiance, great service, great value - highly recommended!

Been using this place since it opened and have always had good service and been served good food Staff are very friendly and polite

Very impressed with the quality of the food, very friendly and welcoming staff A* i will definitely be returning big thanks to all the staff 👍

Love it hear. Food cooked to order. Friendly staff with great owner. Clean tables, free WiFi and parking.

Popped in for a Sunday morning breakfast with friends, food, service and ambiance superb. Quality ingredients make all the difference well worth the drive.

I call in here weekly on my way to my holiday bungalow in North Norfolk. The staff are so friendly and the food and service has always been second to none! In the Summer it does get busy with 'biker-ride outs' who are always really friendly, but the staff and service never has deteriorated.

What a fantastic cafe/restaurant the food is cooked to order and with some quality ingredients ( you can taste the difference ) and to see the chef cooking it makes a lovely change, too many places cook behind closed doors.

Came here to have a big family brunch for my birthday. The food was amazing,well cooked very tasty and quality ingredients. Really good value too.

We stopped here on our way to Norwich and decided on a cooked breakfast .

Went to Route 11 for a breakfast with 5 other workmates. Very good breakfast menu with a choice to suit those with a lighter appetite up to those with an eye bigger than their belly! Breakfasts are cooked to order so if it's busy I wouldn't expect a fast turnaround, but the quality was better being cooked while you wait. All 6 of us had full English breakfasts of varying sizes and all agreed they were excellent!

Found this place by accident. It comes up on you quite suddenly, so keep your eyes peeled for the Shell garage sign and feed-off as you proceed north on the A11 [there's a BP garage on the other side of the carriageways]. Having found it, we've now used it 5 times on the way to the East Coast and it's been highly satisfactory every time. Good for breakfast or lunch and the bangers are delicious. Good coffee too.

Stopped off for lunch whilst on route to the Norfolk Broads having read some positive reviews on TripAdvisor, nice warm friendly welcome from the staff, ordered our meals (Ham-eggs-chips, Cheese Burger with chips & Jacket Pot with topping). It was nice that the food is cooked to order and not hanging around under a keep-hot lamp even if it does take a little longer. Overall we were disappointed with the quality of the food served, chips were soggy, my wife's were slightly burnt (unlike my sons) triple cooked we were informed - and yet still soggy? The burger was very average, lacking in pickles or relish and didn't appear to be "Homemade" as described in the menu, the Jacket was also quite average but it was nice that the side salad it came with was served with a dressing (unlike so many other establishments). This place tries hard to please but unfortunately doesn't quite deliver on quality, perhaps we should have ordered one of the full-english breakfasts as they looked great, but nothing to write home about beyond this in our opinion.

This is our 2nd time here. We stopped off here last year & again now on our route to our holiday destination. Staff were friendly. Find a table then put your order in at the counter along with your table number. The waitress bring drinks _ food to your table. Bit of a wait for food as it's all freshly cooked for you. First place I've been to that has kid size meals against normal dishes. Shame more places don't do this. My mu. Doesn't eat a large meals a kids size meal was ordered for her. I give a extra for this. Keep up the good work maybe see you again on another trip this way

On arrival the entrance looked uninviting but did look nice when we opened the door to the restaurant. It was not particularly busy when we went and we looked to find a clean table. My husband and I ordered a burger and a prawn sandwich which came in good time by the friendly staff, however the burger which was just under £10 was pretty poor. It was over cooked as were the chips. I felt this was overcharged. The prawn sandwich was extremely thick, lovely fresh bread but inside were very few, small hard prawns in a cheap sauce. This came with a few crisps and a small side salad. Again, I felt it was not worth the money paid. I’m not sure that we will return here.

I'm aware that other reviews describe the staff as friendly, but they must have been having a break from being nice.

Very clean, very friendly and very tasty. Sausages were lush highly recommend. Be careful you don't miss the turning.

Ive eaten here often and the breakfasts are amazing , freshly cooked from local produce and no grease !!! Love it , staff and management are lovely ,helpful and friendly

Well worth visiting but we missed it. Only on northbound carriageway by shell petrol station but roadside sign will be missed if not careful,

The restaurant is situated on the northbound side of the A11 at a petrol station turn-off. Keep an eye out for signs as thanks to the austerity being forced onto local councils by this wretched government, the roadsie foliage is rampant and makes signs almost impossible to see in enough time.

Excellent food excellent and very respectable staff amazingly clean well worth a visit . Definitely be visiting here again

This is the only place where I have seen a menu where almost every meal offers a kids/lighter size portion. After being quite ill I have a small appetite and get quite fed up of either paying for a full size meal and leaving at least half or eating off a boring children’s menu (not always allowed) seeing a menu where I could actually have the same food as everyone else in a smaller portion has absolutely made my day. Well done Route 11 I sincerely hope other establishments do the same soon

Needed a bite on the way to Sheringham. Stopped off here for a quick sandwich. Was not expecting much but was very pleasantly surprised.

Stopped off on the way to Norwich, very clean and tidy. Service was great and fast. We had the regular breakfast that was tasty and value for money. Highly recommendable.

Such an absolute pleasure to go past the burger, chicken and coffee chains and find a stop with a real café with great, really friendly staff, spotlessly clean surroundings, comfortable chairs and really, really good food.

We were concerned it would be another greasy breakfast but were very impressed with what were served and how fresh and hot the food were. Hot drinks were served almost immediately and staff were friendly and polite. Pleased that they have gluten free options and their cakes including gf looked so delicious but we were too full. Well recommended.

Popped in when out for a ride, great to see there are storage lockers (needs a pound coin) big enough for a helmet plus jacket.

Stopped here on the way to our holiday, was a really lovely surprise, very friendly staff which were really interested in where we were going and giving us ideas of places to visit while we were away.

Had breakfast here lovely service some of the best we have had. Got order slightly wrong but sorted it out so quickly and with a smile.

This place is a great little place to eat or just to get a coffee. Really sick of seeing on here "staff are rude" as they have never been rude to me, they are however sometimes very busy and can't kiss your bottom enough as they have other things to do. I am sure the people who have complained about it have jobs that allow them to just sit on their rear end all day. This really is a hard working place and one of the hardest has to be the owner. Food is excellent ,especially the veggie option as a friend is one and loves the veggie options here.

Very friendly, superb service, great food, lovely decor - and they even do gluten free cakes & breakfast with gf toast :). Stopped here a couple of times on our way to Norwich /Cromer. Portions are very generous and excellent quality using local produce. Recommended as great stop for breakfast and/or coffee and cake.

Went for breakfast and the food was good only problem we had was one of our party wanted bread instead of toast unfortunately the bread was stale which is ok for toast but not pleasant to eat I took it backed to be replaced with fresh bread only to be greeted with silly girls and a comment as I walked away. Not professional way to behave girls after all would you eat stale bread? Otherwise pleasant surroundings and food was tasty.

Excellent food and service. Happy staff who are willing to help. Stopped in the cafe for a bacon and sausage bap and saw a plate of chips so had them as well. Very nice and i will return. Well done Route 11.

Lovely welcome. Clearly an ex little chef. Limited menu but usual, sausage egg and chips, burger, coffee, fry ups etc. Very fast service. Food well prepared and served quickly. Clean toilets, lockets for bikers. Next door to a Shell Service Station on the A11. Very good value with large portions.

Good quality local sourced food. Friendly and helpful staff. Several choices on menu and reasonably priced for quality of food. Private function room available at reasonable cost. Give it a try.

We were on our way to a funeral in Norwich and wanted a place to stop and relax and have a coffee before arriving. A very pleasant buzzy place with a very good menu and great coffee

This is a wonderful place to eat. Food is excellent and always freshly cooked. In fact the kitchen is open plan to the bar area where orders are taken .. Service is good.

staff were very abrupt, told could not swap eggs (not free range) for toast as they dont do swaps. settled for beans on toast which was awful. beans old and barely warm, not even been stirred out of the microwave and toast best described as warmed bread. was looking for a local place to go now D's diner over the road has closed, this will not bet it!

We found this Great place to take a pit stop on our way to Norwich. The staff were friendly and efficient, the food lovely, I can recommend the sausage and egg bap, a basic treat but as yummy as they get. The restaurant and facilities were clean and they have plenty of parking. Prices were more than reasonable. Definitely on our 'return to' list.

Had a great breakfast here after a false start. I had heard good reports of the breakfasts served here and stopped of on the way into Norwich, only to find I was an hour early, they. Don't open before 9am.

We were a bit apprehensive about trying out Route 11 due to reviews on here.

Popped in mid afternoon on route to Norwich. Had tea for two with cake and scone. Staff very friendly and helpful. Looks like a very good place to stop for hot food.

We visited route 11 with my mum, partner and youngest son for breakfast. We all had a lovely fry up and my son had a lovely warm sausage roll. The staff were very friendly and even brought my son a picture and colouring pencils for him. The waitress came over to clear our plates and we mentioned we had popped in for our sons birthday breakfast. We this a slice of cake appeared with a candle. It really made our sons birthday morning with his nanny and us very special.

Thought we would visit on our way from Attleborough to Norwich for some lunch.

Saw this place had nice reviews so thought we’d give it a go. Bad idea. Ignored as we walked in when no one else was in the cafe. I wanted to switch a hash brown for a black pudding (same price on the menu) on a breakfast...“We don’t do swaps” is what we were told abruptly and rudely from the waitress. The Chef went on to say it’s not financially viable...how? They are the same price on the menu. Him and his staff showed no customer service and we seemed to be putting them out. So we left. It’s not financially viable to watch money walk out the door. Wasn’t the fact we couldn’t switch, it was the attitude and arrogance of the staff that made us leave.

Excellent place. Great food and atmosphere! Very clean and friendly. Great to have a lovely cafe to call in on way home who don't rip you of!

Basically, I stopped to use the toilet and found that I had to buy something to get the code for the door. So I had a coffee and a fruit scone, fresh out of the oven. Delicious.

Route 11 serves delicious homemade food at reasonable prices. Very large portions! The atmosphere is very friendly and our children were welcomed!

Great service, top quality food delivered in good time
