Salhouse Farm Shop & Cafe in Broadland

Been twice now, it’s always super busy but really well managed. Service is really efficient, staff are smart and well presented. A slick operation. Nice coffee and the food is good. Thank you!

Lovely poached eggs and salmon , friendly staff, plenty parking , bonus GF available.

Well done for running the cafe so well! It was busy, but they got through the queue to order really quickly. My friend and both requested to go a bit off menu and it was no problem. The food came really fast and was lovely. Some additional soft furnishings may help bring some of the noise down, otherwise I think it's great and I'll go again.

Absolutely superb.. beautiful butchers... delicious cake's . marvelous mince pies.. yum.. Merry Christmas to you all...

Plenty of places to park, although there were a lot of cars there. I thought the main entrance wasn't obvious but luckily my wife had been before. We entered the big lobby area and went up the metal stairs to the cafe. It was really busy and there was a lot of noise. If you listen to the videos you can hear it. But we walked past all that to the outside eating area and I did another video the other side of the door. The difference is amazing, so much quieter. It was a lovely sunny day mid November and there were only 2 other people sitting outside. We decided what to have and I went back inside, ordered and paid telling them our table number. The drinks came out very quickly shortly followed by the food. We didn't have and cutlery or condiments but the waitress brought them out when we asked. The food was lovely, the service was good and the staff were all friendly and helpful. The view from the comfy chairs with the sun on our faces made it even better. Afterwards we explored downstairs where they have a farmers market and several little retail outlets. There's also a campsite at the back with campsite toilets and showers which I took photos of.

Unfortunately the cafe closed at 1500 on day I went it should be open till 1600 other shops open niche shops excellent butchers have got a loyalty card. The buthery excellent shop next to it right brilliant staff excellent.. would have stayed longer but wanted coffee and snacks - will return earlier to revisit cafe.

This was our first visit to the Black Barn and we were not disappointed. Lovely friendly, smiling staff, great coffee and delicious scones. We liked the fact that it was light and airy and the tables were not close together. We also did some shopping in the lovely little shops there. All in all a great experience. We'll be back. We'll done to everyone.

A large party of us came for breakfast this morning. It was very busy but the food came out quickly and was excellent. I had the Greenhouse Breakfast and it was the best vegan breakfast I have ever had, plenty on the plate! The staff were super friendly. 100% recommend!

Very busy at the weekend. Worth the wait.

Always good friendly service & good food. Love it cause its so dog friendly.

Great service. Great food. Served fresh and very quickly!!

Lovely location, atmosphere and service. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The kitchen had run out of granary bread so one of the kitchen went downstairs and bought more from the farm shop downstairs for us.

Great breakfast -as always. Speedy service even when it was very nearly full. Well oiled machine!

Lovely place to eat and lovely shops on site 👌 highly recommend.

Great place for great food and a unique farm shop experience. A great way to spend a Sunday morning.

Great coffee. Although I thought the sugar container was one of those that measures out a tea spoon but it kept going 🤣🤦‍♂️🤣🤣🤣 very sweet but enjoyable coffee. Well presented although could of done with a saucer

Great food, Great Service. What more can you ask for. Keep up the good work guy's

Very popular, there were people queuing to get in!

Lovely food, service was a bit slow

Met a friend here for lunch on a Wednesday and ordered the jacket potatoes. Sadly I couldn’t eat mine as it was too hard. I went to get coffees and I told the young girl on the counter. She said ‘oh I’m sorry about that’. That was it! Nobody came to check my uncooked spud or offer a replacement. I’m not impressed. It’s a really nice cafe with lovely coffee and friendly staff but it was busy and thus quite noisy. Plus we had a very shrill dog barking just behind us so overall, not the best experience.

Great shop and cafe and camping field

Loved this place and will be returning in the future. Super busy when we arrived shortly after opening and the queue to get served was long, however our drinks and food arrived promptly and was a delight as well. Only slight niggle is it could've been hotter but I'm sure on a different day it would've been perfect. Service was great and the team were constantly floating around making sure tables were clean, tidy and ready for use. Whilst still finding time to be very helpful and answer any questions. The seated area outside is one of a kind, although we didn't use it due to it being a little cold and we had an 18 month old with us but look forward to having a seat there on our next visit. We had the large breakfasts x 2 and 2 coffees. Plenty of choice and food on the plates and the coffees were perfect. Even the cups used were lovely and help tie the experience altogether. Thoroughly recommended experiencing this place and we will be back again.

Lots of seating. Nice food. Well worth a visit. Has camping and caravan pitches available

3 times I have tried to eat here and have failed on 2 of these occasions, first time I came for breakfast and was turned away at 11.30 am as it was apparently too busy, even though there were multiiple empty tables, eventually after a conversation allowed in for cake and coffee only. 5 minutes later the next arrivals had full breakfasts. Second time again turned away as to busy same scenario although this time no backing down. Finally today even though online states open till 3.30pm at 2.45pm turned away as apparently closed. Not a great way to run a business.

Friendly staff, nice food, really nice coffee, went to the farmers market today, well organised event. 🤔🤓.

Thought we'd give this a try, had a full English, produce used was ok but was really poorly cooked, most of it was cold. It took ages to arrive as well. Wouldn't return personally as there are so many good places in Norwich and surrounding areas for a breakfast. May have been a staffing issue but other places seem to manage just fine.

Very good food, large portions, but not very clean. Even pots and glasses were filthy, many tables just waited to be cleared and cleaned. Spoilt a bit the overall impression.

So the workers there are clearly passionate and were all full of smiles. The food... I go to a different cafe once a week to see which is the best in norfolk... so far I have to say this is 1st place! The only thing which was disappointing was the sheer wait for not only to order the food but for it to come out! And also I'd recommend having like a kids activity pack to keep the kiddies occupied!

Amazing cooked breakfast. Fairly priced for the quality

I've been there twice and I can highly recommend. The food was absolutely delicious, amazing English breakfast and good coffee. The portions are quite big - there is no room for dessert after breakfast. The atmosphere of place is very nice :)

I have lost count of the number of times we have been here, but it consistently exceeds expectations.

Food is definitely value for money possibly a little to large. A shame the teacakes are brown and no plain scones. Drinks are a little pricey and small but overall will visit again. Will do a review after the weekend about the items I bought from butchers

We just had baps which were quite nice. Staff were lovely and helpful, the only let down was I asked for tea for 2 and we got a large teapot but was only just half filled we only got 1 cup each. There was unfortunately a lot of wasps flying about, the lovely young man that took us to the table did tell us about it and apologised.

We stopped here for breakfast just after opening following a tiring dog walk on the hottest day of the year. There was plenty of space in the car park but I'd imagine it might be busy at lunch time. The shop has local produce and art downstairs and the cafe is upstairs. There are stairs both inside and outside round the back, but a lift is also provided. Dogs are welcome and have their own menu including sausage, eggs, bacon and ice cream. We ordered 2 vegan breakfasts, some bacon for the dog and 2 cold drinks which came to around £30. We sat outside on a very comfortable and shaded terrace overlooking a small campsite and orchard. Staff were very friendly and efficient and our food arrived really quickly. All food was thoroughly enjoyed, especially the bacon! Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful views, foods great, friendly staff 👍

Having seen photos we went for brunch, the staff were amazing, the place was lovely but sadly that's the best part. Two of possibly the worst but most expensive cooked breakfasts we've ever had. The sausages are good but everything else was overcooked and dried up. The bacon and toast were inedible, I didn't even insult our dog by offering them to her. A large soggy tepid field mushroom, crumbling black pudding and greasy hashbrowns. A very sad state of affairs.

Black barn farm, I don't have enough words for how much I adore this place ... Just go. You can thank me later

Nice place, worth a visit. Great selection of shops and bits to browse. Makes it worth coming for a few hours, not just for breakfast/lunch.

Amazing food, ambience and attention to detail

Had my first visit here this week after driving past it plenty of times. Ample parking, lots of tables and a good menu selection of nice food, with friendly staff too. The only criticism I have is the drinks are quite expensive for a small quantity, this applied to the orange juice and coffee we ordered.

Lovely coffee and cake. All food dishes looked good. Disabled lift to cafe. Certainly recommend all staff very friendly 👍

Lovely local eatery inside a modern, hyper-local community commercial space

Good portion size, well priced and extremely friendly welcoming staff! Will definitely be back!

Bit of an old person's hang out. Slow service, a bit tired and not very exciting.

Excellent food, brilliant helpful polite staff.

This is up there with the best breakfast in Norwich. If not the best!

Sorry for the 3 stars for atmosphere but being a barn, it is noisy and I do wonder what it'll be like at the weekend. With more people chatting.

Very good. Highly recommend this place.

Not a great first impression! Greeted at the top of stairs and asked if we wanted to sit Indoors or outside. We opted for outside and were told to take a seat and order when ready nothing else.. my boyfriend went in to order for us and returned a while later (was ignored at the counter for a while) saying they had no baps available! Could have been told this when being greeted. I then went back in to order another option. Returned to the table where our food arrived shortly after but while tucking in I watched a member of staff walk across with two breakfast Baps for the table next to us… A member of staff told me she was sorry apparently they didn’t have any Baps but they’d gone down stairs and brought some… glad the customers who ordered 30 seconds after us were more important to receive this treatment. Maybe should have brought them first thing or at least tell staff to advise customers. Doesn’t seem overly fair to me!! The place is in a nice setting and food was ok. Not sure I’d rush back :(

Great place. Very dog friendly as long as your dog will go up metal stairs. Our 2 were OK as they are enclosed. Food very good and reasonable price. Would recommend .

Recommended to try and very pleased with the result. Great location with lovely scenery. Spacious, well-laid out cafe with lift for accessibility. Service and food excellent. Pet friendly plus musical entertainment. All in all, highly recommended 👌

Lovely cafe with beautiful view overlooking the farm. Affordable food and great service. Overall this place made my weekend.

A delightful place to eat. Ordered Jacket potatoes. They were piping hot , soft & buttery & had plenty of filling. We chose Chicken & bacon.. delicious. The side salad has a very tasty dressing too. We had tea for two & the teapot was huge & came with mugs. You definitely get value for money ! You can choose to sit on the veranda overlooking woodland or inside. Although inside of a big barn , with low music playing in background, the place didn’t echo. Service was fabulous from start to end. We will definitely be back.

Great fry up, and lovely lattes. Would highly recommend!

Really friendly place with good accessibility. The balcony area is lovely with good views and is covered. We were greeted in some way by every member of staff we came across. The cakes were tasty and the meal we had on our last visit was delicious. It can get noisy when indoors if full due to echoing structure so if you don't like a lot of noise don't go at peak times. Would thoroughly recommend and we will be returning.

Upper tier fry-up for a fair price in a nice setting.

Disappointing. Food was cold/tepid. For the price I would expect a choice of toast not just inedibly hard cold white processed loaf. Although the views are pleasant the cafe itself is noisy and echoes like a school dinner hall. The fact you have to order your food at the counter doesn't help.

1st time at the Black barn farmers market, went to collect our Chaatman curries (amazing food) and what a vibe, sun was out, loads of stalls outside, it was buzzing.

Big story cafe with really helpful staff. Good pretty good and good value. Will return!

Go there like 4 times a week love the food great quality cheap staff always lovely especially Sophie always helpful top girl

Great Breakfast, highly recommend a visit

Faultless Value for money Great setting and surroundings Great tasting meals Multiple friendly members of staff.

This is the second time I visited the ‘Farmers Market’ and Cafe. Both of which were ‘good’. The cafe has some fundamental staffing issues, felt on both visits. The fact you are so busy is fantastic, but it feels as though you need to half in size and learn to look after customers before expanding when you are ready. On arrival, several tables of four were available, but we shared the waiting area instead for 5 minutes with two other couples awaiting a table of two to become available, this despite having a baby with us and requiring a high chair and larger table. Once seated, we established (by ourselves) that the food was to be ordered at the central bar, in joining our second queue, we ordered and returned to our table. Really quickly a good quality plate of sausage, eggs, bacon etc arrived at the table next door, after watching the food disappear back to the kitchen we all established this was our food, this despite ordering with a table number. The food returned and tasted great. Half way through the meal our patience for the drinks was wearing thin and so we returned to the bar to discover our hot drinks order had been lost and so we had to return to our table empty handed to await the drinks, which eventually came and once again were good quality. During our wait times we saw three tables receive the wrong order, two tables have to request their missing drinks and also a table stand up to order whilst gone another guest being seated at their table by mistake. From the host at the top of the stair to the waiting staff, there is a distinct lack of any organisation here, everyone looks and feels overwhelmed. If you can get past this though, the food is great, this review stands for both visits 👍

Had a sausage bap. Absolutely huge portions, pkeasantly surprised. Thank you.

We had a delicious breakfast here today, cooked to perfection!

Lovely place. Delicious teacakes

Very nice pork chops in the butchers

Very noisy! But generally worth the four stars.

Had to try this fairly new place for a breakfast as I do like a good breakfast. Only 3 stars from me as I ordered the large full breakfast at £13.95. Plus £2.95 for a pot of tea . High prices I think but as long as it is very good I'm happy to pay. Unfortunately it was not. We visited on a Friday and was very busy. Just be aware the breakfast are not cooked to order except the eggs and are cooked en mass for any busy period and kept warm . Hence bacon was rock hard, 2 mediocre sausages absolutely cremated, awful black pudding etc. Yes I sent the sausages back and asked for freshly cooked bacon too. So very poor value and I won't be back. If you want freshly cooked breakfast at the same price there are other better places to visit. If you want value for money and better quality ingredients go to Sunny side up at Hall Road. Far better.

Lovely venue and delicious food. We've been 3 times in the last 5 weeks and it's been on point every single time. Would highly recommend. Nice little touch - the owner has come round each time to thank us for coming.

£5.90 for 2 teas, not good value, teapot too heavy to lift, dirty milk bottle and no saucer for the cup - not a good look for the price

A super place with a great atmosphere. Busy but never wait to long for a table. Make sure you are hungry if you go for a breakfast they are massive. Lovely staff who are never to busy to serve you and answer questions.

We had a fantastic breakfast at Black Barn Farm. Highly recommended.

This is a must visit! 5* food, service, and atmosphere. The place is buzzing! Delicious bacon and sausage bap, I'll be back for another! Thanking you

What a lovely place. I loved all the little shops. The food and service was brilliant and the views are lovely too.

Fantastic food. Meat available is best I've seen.

Lovely lunch so good I even brought some of the baps in the farm shop to enjoy at home. My 8 year old gave his breakfast a 10/10. Sadly sat next to a yappy dog which did spoil it as he's frightened of dogs. Definitely will be back as the cakes looked really good.

The only problem we found was the car park which needs to be sorted .As you get out of your car you step into mud which will only get worse with all the rain we are having .My husband was livid as his wheels on his car just spun round and found it very hard to grip also the car was splatterd with mud .Coffee shop and food was great along with the service .But afraid because of the parking we wont be going back

I ordered the Greenhouse breakfast (£11.95) and my friend had the Big Barn breakfast ( £13.95). My friend also had a tiny pot of tea for one. (£2.95). We found the food to be of very poor value and overcooked. The avocado was turning brown, and the SINGLE mushroom/ tomato on my friend's plate was tiny. The bacon and sausages were hard, and the beans were dry. A piece of shell was found in my friend's fried eggs. It was supposed to be a 'birthday treat' for my friend. The place also felt cold, and we kept our coats on throughout the meal. Is there no heating? It was the first time that we had visited and were extremely disappointed. Maybe it was an 'off day' as the staff did not appear too friendly or approachable either? I didn't want to spoil my friend's day by complaining at the time, but for nearly £30, we were expecting an edible and better quality breakfast!

Lovely cafe, with a selection of reasonably priced breakfast and light bite options. On site butchers shop, local meats, local cheeses and their own milk. Small number of local craft shops. We'll be back.

Fab breakfast, amazing place, loved it

Love the Salhouse farm shop! It's a firm favourite for their breakfasts and tasty cakes. Have been many times and always have wonderful interactions with all the staff. Great prices for high quality food and very dog friendly with plenty of space between tables and water bowls for the pooches. Had the pancakes today and they were delicious!

It's always brilliant there. Food at the Blackbarn is well presented and cooked the staff are friendly, the atmosphere is always welcoming, it's the whole package, also the food is local ,the butchers is in the same complex, just love the place .

Good burgers and minted lamb chops 😋

Another Friday, another trip to the Black Barn with me ol' mucker Benjy for coffee n cake. This time an exceedingly fine Chocolate Brownie. 😋

What a gem! Had the big barn breakfast and it’s definitely big, not just on size but on flavour and quality. Proper sausages, bacon etc quality ingredients throughout. Only one slight disappointment but it’s just a personal one is I would prefer a homemade hash brown to a generic one. But saying that they were tasty Excellent food at a good price

Delicious brunch here. Big portions, lively atmosphere and very spacious. Lots of food to choose from - I had waffles with yoghurt and Berry Compote. It was 🤌. Highly recommend.

Wonderful place to go to various food shops craft stalls etc topped upstairs is a cafe superb food ,all in a massive barn Also pitches for caravans with ammenities

First visit on 19th Jan. Typical farm shop cafe menu, all had prawn Marie Rose baps served with crisps and coleslaw. Really tasty food, also various cooked breakfasts and baps. Staff attentive and friendly and visit was really great.

Dog friendly and not just dog'tolerant' which is great when you have a greyhound who likes to lay out. Plenty of space around tables. Mahoosive breakfast which I couldn't fault. Would recommend a visit and shall be finding an excuse to visit again 😃

Very nice visit, breakfast was very good and substantial, only disappointment was the sausages which weren't quite up to standard. Our greyhound was most welcome and well looked after, great place to take your dog.

Massive barn with upstairs restaurant. Disabled access available. Good food, good portions. Also has butchers, bakers, florist and others.

Really lovely café our food was delicious 😋 and a lovely little stall downstairs selling lots of lovely original bits for your home.

Dreadful experience, I understand it was nye but the service was appalling over 50mins wait for breakfast and over 30mins just for some apple juice and coffee? Also over 10 people stood waiting for tables for silly amount of time.

What a massive shame, I have heard such great things about the cafe, and looking forward to eating there, we arrived at 1230, really busy was seated almost immediately, was told to order at the counter, informed we were at table 9, placed our order told 30 minutes wait, not a problem at all expected this, people around us getting there food, after 45 minutes I asked a member of staff if they would check our order, to be told there had been mistake, and they would cook our meal immediately, but would take 25 minutes, due to time scale we could not wait, got a refund and left, as I said a massive shame, and disappointment.

Made mistake with order wife food came cold and breakfast was luke warm that has happened twice won't be going back again

This is honestly some of the the best breakfast food I've ever had, will definitely be coming again!

Lovely big cafe nice food, but not much else but on farmers market day super busy

Service was brilliant from everyone we spoke to! Food was delicious, very reasonably priced. Can’t wait to visit again. Highly recommend.

Service friendly but disjointed - hot drink arrived 15 minutes after cake delivered. Due to building construction, café area very noisy. Interesting shopping opportunities.
