Salad Bowl Cafe in King's Lynn and West Norfolk

Don’t go to the coffee pot , see my review …. Go here it’s on seafront , cakes are to die for fab coffee aswell , and far better value for money

The salad bowl is in a prime location, it has lots of potential, some chairs had tears on the seat , and counter service was a bit slow, but the menu is varied and not expensive and gets busy so not a bad place to eat.

A lovely caravan sit in a gorgeous place in Norfolk.

Pumpkin spice latte was so comforting, just had a toastie here price was mid, lots of other things id try, views all round so great for a single diner as you can watch the waves, disabled access tricky as steps, but nice unpretentious homley vibe will go again

Never went in but looking going

I just had coffee. Staff were nice& lovely view from the cafe overlooking the coast. ☕️😁

Stopped here as lovely view, looked modern and clean too. Ordered coffee and bacon roll….. we are a patient couple…my wife has ten times more patients, we drank our lovely coffee slowly to the results last mouthful was cold…still no bacon roll!…looked around and they didn’t seem full and half were already eating, check payment time and 22 mins it took for the rolls to arrive, it was tasty but wasn’t worth £4+ only 1 slice of bacon in it. The delay and price is the whole reason for this poor review…. Wouldn’t say we won’t go back but it won’t be top of our list.

Was totally ignored so left after 15 minutes

Brillant cafe friendly staff and great food ! Bacon.sandwich done just how I asked !!! and our coffee was great too Would reccomend it to anyone ! Wish we had found it sooner , will be back next year for sure !

Only had a coffee today, nice and hot.

Lovely clean place, friendly staff, great food and value for money.. all with a lovely view at toilets next door.. fantastic.👍👌👊

Polite staff. Good food freshly made

Great coffee and teacakes, amazing views, great value

Lovely freshly prepared food. Highly recommend this cafe for lunch. Does get crowded but probably because food and presentation is brilliant

Hidden gem up on the headland. Great coffee, toasted teacakes and service. It's great value, better than the centre of town. Views are amazing

Lovely cafe with welcoming staff. Lots of places to sit with beautiful views!The cakes were really good!

Busy with breakfasts, so good they found space for us for tea and cake. Big range on the menu, and is a sheltered spot for an ice-cream. Has steps up, as on the Prom.

This cafe is right on the sea front and is very popular. If you are lucky you can get a table next to the sea wall and watch the activities with the boats and other craft on the water. Sometimes you have a little wait for your food as they can be very busy but it is worth waiting for and the prices are reasonable. Would definitely recommend it.

Great place for lunch. Lots of choice and a reasonable price. The food was really lovely, the mega breakfast was a huge hit with my ever growing teenagers! Beautiful view too.

Fantastic Experience Great Food very tasty Tea and Coffee was of great quality Excellent polite service from the Waitress's Views are spectacular

We recently visited the Salad Bowl Cafe and although we only had drinks, the experience was delightful. The drinks were competitively priced, offering great value for money. The service was very good, with friendly and attentive staff ensuring we were well taken care of. The location is absolutely brilliant, overlooking the cliffs and beach in Hunstanton. The stunning views add a special touch to the overall ambiance, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a drink. While we didn't try the food ourselves, the dishes brought out to other customers looked amazing, and we are eager to come back and sample the menu. Based on what we saw, it seems like a great place for a meal. We will definitely return to try the food for ourselves and enjoy the lovely setting once again. Highly recommended!

A real credit to the town, love it! 😊

Food was lovely, service was great. All the food was piping hot, fabulous view too. Even better if you enjoy watching a game of bowls.

Ticks all the boxes..Great place great sea views.

Always try to call for something to eat the foods always good and a nice atmosphere It does get busy at times

Great service, wonderful egg, bacon, sausage, tomato, chips and decaf tea

Nice friendly café with views out over the sea. Had a lovely light gluten free Victoria sponge that was very tasty. Drinks were good. It's open until 5pm for food and drinks, a rare thing in Hunstanton. Staff very friendly and the place was clean.

Great lace for a cuppa and a cake. Great view out to sea

Sitting on the cliff top fabulous cupa stop

Great place to eat, efficient service, good portions friendly staff

Great little cafe on the front at Hunstanton. Great choice of GF options and everything clearly labelled on the menu. Delicious Jacket potato

Spectacular view and all meals we ordered were good

Fantastic place , great atmosphere

Great little independent cafe, go give these ladies some business the food is great 👍🏻

Great food and service plus brilliant views

Just popped in for coffee but ordered food as well as it looked good and it wasn't too busy. We were told it might be half an hour wait for the food which was fine as we were not in a hurry. It wasn't that long at all. The food was good and the service was pleasant. The whole place was clean and tidy. I would happily return. I would of taken some pictures but I was too busy eating and chatting away.

Away from the hustle and bustle of town, and a better, cleaner place, the Salad Bowl Cafe was a great find, food, service and prices all were excellent.

Me and my family we here wow what can I say really nice staff and the food was really hot we definitely coming here again

The best thing going for this place is affordability and the views. Position wise, it's not the best, and access for wheelchair users is limited. I overheard a wheelchair user having difficulty getting into the restaurant. I had fish and chips here just because the wife did not fancy anything on the seafront, so she had a healthy salad. I risked the fish and chips. They were as I imagined. The fish, I think, was from the freezer, and the chips were average. I expected it to be so, as this wasn't a fish and chip shop. I would go again, but maybe not to have the fish and chips :-)

Good location, toilet facilities. Chaotic service - you get your ice cream from one counter then have to queue up at another to pay. Melted by the time this was completed. Clear staff shortage - maybe was a one-off, but no acknowledgement of issue from staff.

Had a good pot of tea here on a flying visit. Very busy place, could do with some extra staff.

Fabulous Seaviews, interesting menu choices. Fish finger sandwich huge and yummy

Fresh, tasty and good value brunch. Great views. Third visit . We will return.

I visited this cafe/restaurant for the first time on a blowy, dry Tuesday lunchtime. My mum and I enjoyed absolutely perfect ham, eggs and chips with lovely granary bread and butter and then, for desserts my mum had a waffle with ice cream and syrup and I had a scone with cream and jam. Perfect food. Perfect location. Really lovely, friendly staff. Great selection of food. I would definitely recommend.

Very nice coffee and staff with spectacular sea views. Quick service and very nice staff.

It is a great place to dine with a sea view. Were warned of a 30-minute wait when ordering but only waited 20 minutes. Perfectly cooked Jacket potatoes and generously filled. Well done, Salad Bowl Cafe, we'll be back.

Lovely little cafe. Very clean and friendly. Lovely sea views.

Very clean,busy place ,just for a ice cream or a meal... plenty of choice... lovely view of the sea if you can get a window seat

Visited here on Saturday, served by a scowls little lass with no concept of please thank you etc. I think the problem with half these places they hire posh little girls from unis who just serve people qith barely d8aguised contempt. The food is good, functional withiut being fantastic, the salad was weak, the ice cream is pretty good, as good as any along the front. The views are splendid.

Great food, lovely staff, wonderful views.

Lovely cafe with sea views! Xxx

Walked out when I realised cod, chips and mushy peas cost £18.90

Excellent little cafe, very friendly

Friendly service, yummy food, reasonably priced, amazing view. Would return and would recommend to others.

Excellent food and a first class service

Closed Google stated they were open until 3.00 looks shut down and the public toilets were locked also. Hunstaton obviously is closed until Easter.

A nice Little cafe food was okay in fact. Quite nice but I must admit the service and the attendance of the staff was 10 out of 10! So good to see staff so enthusiastic and helpful. Thanks very much!

Great good service lovely place to take a break

not being local I can’t really comment - - does sell some salad but stops food at 3 - a seasonal cafe, closes for winter, reducing service progressively towards autumn- a nice tea room to shelter after a walk.

We visited the salad bowl in October 2023 in Hunstanton with friends for breakfast, what a lovely clean friendly place to eat, the breakfast was really great and very tasty, all the team that we’re working couldn’t do enough for us, I would highly recommend the salad bowl in Hunstanton . One of the best places we’ve ever had breakfast yet. Thank you Lee and Mo.

A perfect spot for a tranquil lunch and a cup of tea with lovely views over the sea. The cafe is clean and well-maintained, serving good food in great time, despite the large menu and many tables to cover! Very efficient service.

First time there, staff very pleasant and great view of the sea and wind surfers

We were en route from Cley to Lincolnshire and popped in for lunch after a walk along the cliff. So glad we did. Friendly and efficient service by the ladies. Food was excellent - we chose the vegetarian breakfast and a ham salad - both delicious. Also enjoyed the wonderful views out to sea. Great value for money. Would definitely return if in the area.

This is a lovely sea side cafe. The prices are good and it's really clean. Service was slow but then they were busy so that's a good thing! At one point every table was full! Wide variety of food and the staff are really friendly.

We go here every birthday for breakfast! It makes a great start to the day- looking out at the beach while eating!

Staff are always very helpful and friendly, food is very good and the view is wonderful. You have to visit when in Hunstanton.

Don't be fooled by the look of this place. The food was excellent - I would recommend the fish finger sandwich.

Love this place, popped in nearly every day while on holiday. A tea means a pot of tea and a pot of hot water making for perfect tea. All the food we had was well made, well cooked and hot. All this while enjoying lovely view out to sea. Always clean and the staff always attentive.

Lovely venue, lovely staff, great views and fab food. Our go to place whenever we visit Hunstanton.

We like it here 👍 Good Menu 👍 Reasonably priced👍 Great views 👍 Knickerbocker Glory is our treat 👍 Always take a photo of Reis Leming who was a USAF gentleman based in the area back in the Fifties. He saved many lives in the floods at that time 🙏 My friend is his daughter.

didn't have food, (allergic to salad) 😆😆 but the place was very very busy. Nice place to stop after a long walk.

Great food lovely views Great service

Great food, in a great location with sea views. Lovely staff.

Great views and good place to have a break between old hunstanton and the centre when walking along the cliff walk

We came to Hunstanton for a day trip, and we walked along the beach and spotted the Salad Bowl Cafe. We fancied something warm, especially since the weather was quite bad, and I opted for a Sultana Scone with Clotted Cream and Jam with a Horlicks drink. The staff serving me couldn't have been friendlier and made the drinks perfectly while being very polite. We sat down, and I was amazed by the views. The scone was the last two, but they tasted incredible. There was WiFi here, too, which was helpful since the area had quite a wrong signal, meaning I could catch up on my emails while having a delicious scone. There were many tables, and it was spotless.

Very well respected,, nice people

Stunning views ,nice cafe very clean with friendly staff

Lovely café with views over the sea and bowls rinks. Good choice of food on the menu and children's menu.

Little noise but food OK and comfortable place

Nice little cafe. Mocha and lovely lemon cake!

fish &chip it's very delicious！！！

A great place to wat breakfast, dinner or lunch - we ate her on arriving at Hunstanton waiting to go to our guest house - the food was hot and delicious - we shall eat here again before we leave Hunstanton tomorrow.

Lots to choose from. Had lovely breakfast with sea views.

Good food well priced helpful pleasant staff, nice views over the water

Ideal location for food and drink overlooking the bay

Lovely little place with great views out to sea. Took a little while to get served and again bit of a wait for food but in that respect I think I prefer the food taking longer as it gives some reassurance that cooked fresh. Drinks are a bit pricey.

Was a long wait for food to arrive.

Lovely cafe with the best views. A bit of a wait for the food but we had been warned. Would be nice if well-behaved dogs were allowed.

Staff kindly served late arrivals with 6 tasty meals.

Food good, service terrible, staff all seemed so uninterested. Seems so badly organised, many staff, most wandering about, kitchen staff and waiting staff seem to be same people, hair hanging all over faces when prepping food. Had jacket potato and prawns in maire rose sauce and cottage pie. Tea, milkshake and lemonade. Told when ordering would be 25 mins, was happy they said and sat down to wait. People behind me ordered three hot dishes after us and were served 15 mins before us. Eventually after 35 mins my meal arrived. Tiny portion of prawns and barely any sauce, small spud and salad. Cottage pie came out nearly five mins after potato and only when I asked - seemed they just forgot. Don’t know how, I saw it sitting on side in kitchen 10 mins previously. Had such high hopes, really disappointed. Views lovely but experience spoilt on the whole. Such a shame.

Have been coming here for thirty years. What's not to love? Wonderful views over the coastline, the very best tea and a lot for your money, great food and great friendly service and clean toilets. It's a family run cafe and a lot of love is put into it every minute of the day. Looking forward to our next visit to Sunny hunny and our favourite salad bowl cafe 😋❤️

Fantastic views and the food is good but not exciting

A lovely spot on the cliff with great views. We had a table in the window having our coffee and then noticed the menu. A whole range of gluten free options and it all sounded and looked delicious, Would definitely go back if only we had time,

What a lovely little cafe fantastic views and lovely fresh food the most delicious fresh tuna mayo salad , polite, friendly staff, be very proud 😊

Been wanting to try the salad bowl for breakfast since moving here, and wasn’t disappointed, this was the best breakfast I have had in Hunstanton 😋 I had the big breakfast and struggled to eat it, staff were friendly and the sea view was lovely, would highly recommend *****

Disappointed it wasn’t dog friendly. Food looked yummy, but unable to order a meal, as had to sit outside. Hot drinks were nice .

Lovely breakfast freshly cooked and well presented staff polite and friendly would recommend all food delivered look very appetising

We stumbled across this place on our walk and decided to stop for a rest. The views from the cliff top are great but more importantly the place was clean, the staff efficient and friendly and the food delicious and freshly cooked.

This cafe is situated high up on Hunstanton's cliffs at the North end of the town, and has superb views over the sea. We visited twice during our stay in the area and both times found the staff friendly, the drinks excellent and good value. Highly recommended - and they do vegan-friendly food too, if that's your thing.

After a walk before work I thought I would pop in for coffee , had to wait a while to be served as only one person serving while three people stood in the kitchen chatting, eventually got served and ordered a bacon sandwich thinking it wouldn’t take long , 20 minutes later it still hadn’t come so I asked will it be long and was told doing it now , well she didn’t say that just held a bit of bread in the air When it came I asked to see the manager but she has just gone , so I told her how long it had taken and she said it’s because we only have a small grill and the had I big order which was a table of 4 and they have had their food ten minutes ago ? I must say the sandwiches was lovely but service very poor
