Tab Nabs in Breckland

Second time visiting here today and just as great as the first time - portion sizes are excellent with a lovely side salad (with melon too!) and delicious coleslaw too. Will definitely be a regular spot for when next in the area!

Excellent food & the portion sizes are very generous . Sausages roll was amazing👌, sausage & onion baguette was also delicious. Both were beautifully presented. Cappuccino was the best ive tasted in norfolk. All the staff were friendly and informative even when extremely busy. Value for money, definitely.

Wow!! Wow!! Wow!! What a lovely friendly place. We had scrambled eggs on toast and it came with a salad garnish and a slice of melon. It was delicious

We recently stayed close by and visited on a Sunday Morning for Breakfast six adults and three dogs and I have to say its hands down one of the nicest breakfast I have ever had, one of the party has a few dietary requirements and the staff could not have been better with accommodating him. If you had 6 star it would defiantly be ticked. If you are in or around the area its worth a visit you won’t be disappointed.

Afternoon Tea. Wow!! This little place is just fabulous. We were made to feel so welcome, it had a real comfortable feel about the place. The staff were nice, polite and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. Now let me get on to the important bit..... The afternoon tea here is amazing, there was a good choice of Teas to choose from (I had the Norfolk blend, nice and strong!) We were also offered a choice of cake which was a nice touch, and the huge scones with jam & cream were really scrumptious. The sandwiches and the fillings were absolutely beautiful, and lots of filling (no scrimping in this place) a proper tasty plate of sandwiches, with great fillings nothing too flash or poncey, lovely bread too. By far the best afternoon Tea I've had and I've had plenty of London ones including The Ritz (sorry Ritz but this place wins) I wish this little Gem was nearer to me as I would be a regular customer for sure.

This welcoming Cafe/restaurant is situated near the church in the village of Mattishall some 5 miles from Dereham. This was my first visit and both my wife and I were impressed with the range of food available on the menus. We opted for a sandwich the perceived lighter lunch option !! The sandwich was packed with filling and served with either chips or crisps and was accompanied by a salad with a tasty dressing and a mouth watering slice of watermelon. one of my grandchildren had the special Rump steak meal how on earth did he get through it all !!! His dad had the home made burger and was beaten! This has to be the best eatery in the area including Dereham sensibly priced huge portions and a delightful outside area to eat under great modern parasols. We will return and have no hesitation in recommending Tabnabs to friends and family

As always - faultless! Selo, Linda, Sam and all the staff at tabnabs have always made us feel so welcome. I challenge anyone to find a local cafe that beats it and the afternoon tea remains the best in Norfolk! I arranged a friends baby shower here with afternoon tea and it was amazing. Plenty of sandwiches which a large selection of fillings. The scones are to die for - I joke but I would fight you for one! And the cake selection is fantastic!!! All diets and allergies are catered for. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming - indoor and outdoor seating available. Plus a cosy upstairs for a private function or peace and quiet. If you are considering a visit then don’t hesitate- you will never be disappointed! Thank you for sharing your lovely cafe with our family over the years. Keep up the good work xxx

Booked an outside table earlier in the week for Father’s Day breakfast, with the dogs . Lovely choice, huge portions , we all had something different and all cooked to perfection. The dogs loved the extras .

Excellent food and service in this cafe which is in a lovely village setting. Great choice of food which is freshly prepared and well presented.

I shared afternoon tea with a dear a friend using a voucher given to me as a gift . Over the years I have enjoyed coffee, cake and lunches here so was looking forward to sharing this voucher with a dear friend. As it was a lovely day we ate in the courtyard. The food was really plentiful and well presented, except for the metal rather than china teapot. Everything we managed to eat was delicious. We were told anything we couldn't eat would be boxed up for us to take home. By the time the waitress came to clear away the lovely sandwiches had become dry. Something the she should have anticipated we thought as we were busy chatting away enjoying the ambience. So they were wasted as was the remaking cake. No apology was given even when I pointed this out both to a waitress and the man I believe was the owner of Tabnabs. We were even charged for the extra pot of tea. Had this charge not been made it would have lessened our disappointment at having no goodies to take home and enjoy later. So the customer service leaves a lot to be desired. It marred our enjoyment of this long anticipated treat.

I am a local I have been here 5 times in the last few months for breakfast/brunch - I have had eggs royale; vegan option (spinach mushroom etc huge and tasty); full English; eggy bread - that’s with bacon and maple syrup (2) I’ve eaten with partner and family - food excellent, service excellent, prices really good value for the quality of food - have also visited many times over previous years and always excellent - consistently good -highly recommend

Lovely afternoon spent at Tabnabs in Mattishall, drinking Pimms and eating lovely fresh food, including homemade cake. Friendly staff and a varied menu, set in a quaint courtyard. Absolutely fabulous, thank you xx

A definite must for first class service and fresh food. Great menu with everything prepared fresh to order. Highly recommend well done girls !!!!

Lovely little restaurant. All the staff clearly know what they’re doing and were all lovely. Extremely tasty panini’s, highly recommend the Brie and Bacon! Will absolutely pop back.

Me and family go quite often for breakfast and cakes absolutely love them always a take home purchase from us The cake selection is huge and you won’t be disappointed the breakfast portions are always more than I can eat and always cooked freshly to order I gem in the heart of Norfolk I’d say Highly recommend a visit

Visited Saturday lunchtime and sat upstairs. Very clean and bright although only roof lights so unable to see out. Service very good and food very tasty and fresh . Highly recommend bacon sausage and egg banquette

What a fab panini we have just eaten that was enough for the both of us . Friendly helpful staff. A great little tea shop in a lovely rural location

I am seriously very fussy about my cappuccino, it has to be dry ie all froth not just a milky coffee with a bit of scum on top, so I rarely order it when out. So I am happy to say that Amber has joined...

What an excellent find, the smell coming up the drive was enough to make me feel hungry alone. The service was excellent, very helpful and polite, the chef was excellent and the food was both well presented and extremely tasty. Portion sizes were generous too....

Excellent little tearoom with delicious treats (including gluten free) and tea served in a pot! It’s popular so advise making a reservation. Also serves lunches.

We booked a table for 6 for breakfast at 10.30am on Father's Day ,well in advance. No problem it seemed. We arrived and were told to go to our table upstairs. On my way up I was accosted by a staff member asking, had we...

A great place to sit and eat lunch and catch up with a friend. The food was tasty and freshly cooked. Good value too.Will be back

We have had a couple of takeaway lunches - and many takeaway portions of their scones with jam and cream, and I must say that the standard is always excellent as is the service. Thank you!

Wonderful restaurant with amazing food… my weekend go to! Thank you so much to Linda and Selo for making me so welcome in Mattishall- your hospitality is above and beyond!

Tabnabs do an enormous breakfast as standard - its cooked to order and very tasty. We will definitely return

Called in after an inspiring walk to enjoy 2 decent cups of coffee and a delicious tuna & cheese panini. Only take away but gravestone seats available in the nearby churchyard. Go for it, get those leggies working you don't want to become a virus...

Breakfast at Tabnabs is a fntastic start to the week. We are regulars for takeaway (I think we have probably eaten our weight in cake and scones since March) with occasional visits to eat in. We always feel very safe here, we have observed staff...

I visited here for the first time with a couple of family members for Sunday brunch. Location is lovely nestled in a small village within a courtyard. There are tables inside and outside so depending on the weather you could choose to sit outdoors. We...

Absolutely outstanding food and the staff are very friendly! We couldn’t have been happier! My little dog was allowed to sit with us out in the court yard and they brought him out a bowl of water and some doggy biscuits!!

At £2.75 for a small cup of cappuccino this cafe is considerably more expensive than most in this area. Not only that but what I was presented with was weak and watery, even instant would have been better. There are many local cafes selling really...

Lovely afternoon delivered at home. Gluten and dairy free for one of us. Can't recommend enough. Can't beat Selo's cheesecake and scones. My daughter's favourite for gluten and dairy free. 🙂

I ordered Afternoon Tea to be delivered to a friend. The feedback was amazing! My friend reported that the delivery (non contact) was very friendly. They both said the food was amazing - especially the sausage rolls!! It was well presented and extremely well received....

Ideal spot for a delicious light lunch or brunch. Great choice, changing specials and friendly service. Plus the chocolate and beetroot cake is to die for.

Afternoon tea lovely, cakes delicious. Friends also enjoyed homemade quiche. Everything is home made and well cooked

I just love going here! The staff are great and very welcoming, nothing is too much trouble. They are great with the kids too! Standard menu with daily specials and always good cakes on offer too! I visit frequently and often meet friends here.

First visit to this beautiful quaint little restaurant. Small with three tables for two and three tables for four but what a little gem tucked away in between the newsagents and butchers by the church. Excellent service by the staff on duty, very polite and...

These scones will take some beating! Fresh and light; perfect with our mid morning coffee. Lovely place to visit and served by great staff. Thank you.

Visited for afternoon tea on a gloriously sunny bank holiday weekend. Sat outside in the courtyard. I'm a fussy eater...had let staff know on booking my preferences and they were followed to the letter. Delicious well filled sandwiches, fresh warm scones, and DIVINE chocolate fudge...

We were staying just outside Mattishall and so this was the obvious place to try on our first day for lunch. There is both the standard stuff (baked potatoes, sandwiches, omlettes) at around £8 and some daily specials which are more expensive. So not cheap...

Had a lovely three course Turkish meal, food very tasty and generous portions. Staff welcoming and friendly. Will definitely be returning.

It was the best all fresh and good service good and friendly clean look good when put on plats I would go a gen

Food is good , portions are good , clean and comfy. Staff are friendly too. Prices are slightly elevated. I would visit again but it couldn't be a regular unless someone else offered to pay ;)

Tasty food at very good prices and friendly staff. We've been here a few times with various friends and family members.

I called in with some friends on a Saturday morning. It's a nice location, with plenty of seating upstairs and on the ground floor. It was very busy when we called in - a sign of its popularity - and after a short wait we...

We went to Tabnabs today for lunch. It's always hard to find great service and great food in the same eatery, so we were so pleased to find Tabnabs. The service was excellent and the food was excellent too and beautifully presented. We highly recommend...

A visit based on the reviews we read and we were pleased we did. Freshly prepared food that tasted great. We would certainly go again. So one area for getting it better. Go to any good coffee shop in a city like The Little Red...

Selo and his staff are always very warm and welcoming. We have come here for years as we live in the village and even more so since Selo has taken over. He makes his own cakes each day and there is always something to choose,...

We are staying nearby and Tabnabs was recommended to us as a place to try. We ordered the full breakfast, mine minus all the meat as I’m vegetarian. They don’t offer a veggie sausage but did compensate for the lack of meat with extra egg,...

This was our first visit to TABNABS, so glad we made the visit, clean and tidy, staff were cheerful and polite, food was excellent all at reasonable prices, plus there was a specials board. Would highly recommend.

A great place with a fantastic menu to suit all . Excellent service with a smile in a country setting in the village of Mattershall.

We have enjoyed top quality English breakfast and several lunches, always good service and lovely outdoor seating if weather suits

Visited at the start of a five church circular walk. Had a lovely lunch to fuel us for the trip. Staff lovely and the dining area modern but still had character. Would recommend search this place out anytime.

Went to a family gathering in the crow's nest room upstairs. Very nice setting for a small party or gathering. Sandwiches, quiche, scones, cake. Beautifully prepared, all home made and absolutely delicious. Very impressed.

Lovely staff, nice atmosphere, great choice and varied menu for very reasonable prices. My wife and I have visited twice after a recommendation from a friend and were not disappointed. We are planning a family lunch here in the very near future.

Tab Nabs is an outstanding cafe in a great location in Mattishall’s village square, just behind the church. The quality of food and service is exceptional. I cannot think of a better cafe in the area. Would thoroughly recommend a visit. You will not be...

Always a friendly welcome here! Can definitely recommend the eggs benedict, it was delicious. If you are a tea lover like me they have lots to choose from as well as many other drinks. Well worth a visit!!

We have visited here a couple of times and the food is always excellent. We have also used the take away option a couple of times which is just as good. The baugettes and salad are always fresh and the cakes are lovely!

What a wonderful hidden gem. Discovered only because I had searched on trip advisor as I was not a local. Parking is no problem with a large square area in front of the church, just in front of the wooden gate of the cafe. Several...

Whilst down staying with friends who are lucky to live in such a lovely village, we visited this establishment on two occasions. On the first visit we sat outside in the pretty courtyard and all four of us opted for the Full English. Enormous servings...

Took mum for lunch and where spoilt rotten with salmon salad and beetroot cottage cheese salad and pot of real tea. Only problem was I was full after main course and will have to revisit to try cakes next time.

Just walked to Mattishall for lunch at Tabnabs. Huge ciabatta sandwiches full of excellent quality ingredients plus a biscuit for the dog! Cakes in a doggie bag to take home. A lovely little local gem.

Had a lovely breakfast today at Tabnabs. We all had a full English which was cooked perfectly. Service was fantastic, food was reasonably priced. We will definetly go again!

This is the hidden jewel in Mattishall.... the owner, the staff couldn’t be more accommodating. The food is outstanding and well presented.....maybe a bit pricey for some but as a treat it’s worth every penny..

We called in for coffee and cake, and wish we had also come for lunch having seen the meals going to other tables (although I may not have had room for cake, the portions looked enormous!). The staff were helpful and friendly. Delicious piping hot...

This gorgeous tea room is a real gem near the Church in Mattishall. The food is always cooked fresh, the cakes are sublime, service is friendly and fabulous, varied menu at extremely favourable prices. The freshly ground coffee is delicious and there are 40 different...

I nearly fell off my chair when I saw the price for a salad.... £9.95 for a Ham Salad?!!! Really? 😨 Prices have gone up, massively.. quality has gone down. Shame!

This delightful tea room is in the heart of a beautiful Norfolk village. From the moment we arrived we knew it would be something special. A member of staff positioned table and chairs in the courtyard especially for us. When we ordered afternoon tea we...

We have tried various breakfasts, lunches and the scones. Everything perfect. For a smallish place the standard is excellent, where we can see everything being prepared. Attention to detail is also very good and very good value for the amount of effort applied. Not only...

Our family (12 in total) arrived for breakfast. We were directed to The Crows Nest upstairs. A lovely room for our large group. The children were kept entertained by a small basket of toys. The staff were attentive and polite. They coped well with the...
