The Cafe Chapel Yard in North Norfolk

THE BEST 👌 RESTURANT IN HOLT AS MY LATE MUM CAROL LOVED 😍 GOING IN FOR A MEAL SHE DIED IN 😢 2019 FROM LIVER CANCER I HAVE MY LOVELY MEMORIES OF BOTH OF 😊 IN THERE AND I WILL DO SO AGAIN TO REMEMBER MY LATE MOTHER 👩 CAROL WHO LOVED CHAPEL YARD CAFE!

We were going to go to byford but there was no seats outside so we went here instead and what a find much better than byfords and so friendly they straight away got some water for my dog waitress was very friendly and helpful we had eggs Benedict which was cooked perfectly as was the sourdough eggy bread all was resonably priced I also got a surprise when they brought me a cupcake with a candle after chatting with the waitress can’t recommend enough I will definitely be going back 😄

We were lucky enough to be able to eat outside and really enjoyed our lunch. My sister had the falafels and pronounced them very tasty, I demolished poached eggs on toast - perfectly cooked. Will return.

My late mother Carol loved the Chapel Yard Cafe they have wonderful food and their milk shakes and toasted cheese sandwiches are lovely! I lost my mother in June 2019 and its my goal after my illness to get back on my feet going down there having a meal as a tribute to my late mother Carol! The best cafe in Holt they gotta be so wonderful love?y food and excellent service at a reasonable price!!

Lovely cafe. Had baguette with brie, bacon cranberry with salad garnish, rest of the group had jacket potatoes. Really nice food and reasonable cost. Staff very friendly.

This place may be tucked in the corner - but it is worth seeking out. Lovely soups, delicious fresh bread and mouth-watering cakes. Thank you.

Stopped here for a sandwich and coffee, plenty of choice at reasonable prices and plenty of filling in the sandwiches. Friendly service. will visit again.

Our first visit to Norfolk was unfortunately hit by fairly miserable weather. We loved Holt and on a cold day enjoyed beautiful leek and potato soup with a roll. The service was friendly and efficient. Would definitely recommend.

Being in the area we decided to look around the historic town, parking in a large car park (we were early- before 10am) so had a choice of places to park, certainly not the case later, when there were cars queuing for a space. When we returned t the car we thought that we would try this cafe which is in a little courtyard, it was surprisingly empty, but during our stay there was a steady stream of people coming in, or picking up a takeaway The food is good, prepared to order and fresh. The prices are reasonable to. All in all well worth the visit.

Just had a light lunch here and the service, food, drinks and environment are excellent, the price is also worth every penny, keep it up, we will return.

I often went to this Cafe and had Toasted Cheese Sandwiches with chips and a huge milk shake this is great value for money unlike Terrible Byfords and the Chips are so nice unlike Rotten Albert's so yer know where to go the Cafe Chapel Yard!!

We found this little cafe tucked away not long before it was due to close but we were met by a friendly lady and ordered two white hot chocolates. The menu is extensive with lots of variety in their hot drinks and the cakes looked fabulous. I can honestly say the white hot chocolate is the best I have ever tasted and it was very welcoming on a cold day. Thank you!!!

When I used to go into Holt I often went to the Cafe I loved their toasted cheese sandwiches and their chips a great cafe certainly better than Albert's OK!

I really don't know why this place was so quiet; food was good, service excellent, and the prices were very reasonable. My tea came in a proper little teapot, and I managed to get 2 and a half cups out of it. The decor certainly isn't glossy and trendy, but I like that. Quaint, but perfectly clean. I would definitely recommend it

We chose to sit outside as was such a warm day but inside was very inviting too. Coffee & tea fine. Big slice of coffee cake which was lovely.

Lovely food and very friendly and helpful staff. At face value it looks quite outdated but don't let that put you off, it's well worth a visit. The pasties were delicious!

Lovely simple food and friendly service. There are plenty of tables outside for people wanting to bring the pooch. Right by one of the car parks so nice to start or finish the day there before the trip back to he cottage.

There is nothing pretentious about this gem, run by a wife and husband team who serve well cooked mostly home made food. their home made cakes are delicious with one of my favourites the Florentine. well worth a visit to this excellent café.

We found this place a few years ago, and it sits near a central car park with lots of small craft shops nearby.

Bit hard to find , although we stumbled upon it, excellent cafe for fresh snacks and wonderful cake! Mary Berry would have been proud of the Victoria Sponge! Good tea in a teapot!

out & about shopping in Holt came across this lovely cafe we were not disappointed as the food & tea were lovely staff were very friendly will call back again when visiting the area again

Really excited to find a cafe with my family to sit down, eat and have a chat. When we walked in we where browsing the cake choices and where asked to sit down as the owner was scurrying around. We where then left for 15/20 minutes before our order was taken.

We called in at Holt looking for a bit of lunch and after parking in the nearby car park came upon the chapel yard cafe. After a warm welcome we ordered the soup and roll, quiche and pasty for me. The soup got the thumbs up from Mum aged 86 whilst both the proper pasty (I’ve lived in Cornwall!) and a generous slice of quiche came with copious salad and hot new potatoes and butter. A lot of cafes don’t always do such lunches terribly well or it’s chips with everything and that lingering smell of chip fat. I’m pleased to say chapel yard is the exception. Whilst it wasn’t busy on a cold,grey late dec afternoon in Norfolk the food and welcome we’re excellent. The coffee and tea cake that followed didn’t disappoint either. All in all we left full, satisfied and warm. Well done chapel yard.

I always enjoy popping in here for a warm welcome and to choose one of their homemade soups which come with an excellent, fresh, warmed cottage loaf roll. Take up the offer to add a generous slice of cake as well and you will not leave hungry. This place is tucked away in the corner of Chapel Yard, but is well worth seeking out. Open all year round: but with outside seating during the summer season.

Lovely welcoming cafe with a good selection of drinks and food. Good coffee and large toasted tea cakes - with cinnamon butter(scrummy!!). On a bright sunny day there are several outside tables too!

went in there today for a quick lunch. They have a really good range of hot and cold food, and cakes. Service was quick and friendly, and we will certainly go again when next we are in Holt

About two weeks ago stopped off in holt on the way to the coast to grab something quick to eat. We were greeted with a smile and told we could sit wherever we liked. Food was served very quickly and was delicious. I had a toasted sandwich and my mother had a tea cake with cinnamon butter. Will definitely be coming again next time we are in the area!

Nothing wrong at all with this nice friendly cafe, just that there is soooo much competition in Holt it's hard...

Stopped for lunch with family after a wander round the pretty town of Holt lots to see plenty of shops...

Siempre hay una bienvenida cuando volvamos a este café. El tocino Baguette es excelente, así como patatas al horno de mi esposa. Para el postre que hizo florentino cada una. Delicioso. Volveremos en un par de semanas.

Llevamos a mis padres por una bebida caliente y tostado de té con pasteles como estábamos fríos de caminando por la tiendas cerca. Yo tenía un café con leche y chocolate caliente, tenían ambos eran de muy buena calidad y a precios asequibles. Las tartas...

Everytime we go to Holt we always eat here.Good food,friendly Staff,Nice TeaLeave room for one of the many cakes

Visited Holt for a bit of a Christmas shopping whilst up in the Norfolk area and popped into this cafe for 'elevenses'. Had a lovely buttery & flaky Eccles cake & my wife Angela had a very tasty (& large!) Belgian bun. We had a mocha & a hot chocolate which would give the big Coffee shops a run for their money (&, believe you me, my wife is very particular about her Hot Chocolate!). Definitely recommended for a hot drink & cake.

After a so-called upmarket lunch in Blakeney (costing £33!), this secret little cafe with delicious food, 'Grey Seal' coffee (roast and ground on the premises) and a genuinely warm ambience was just what we needed. We chose between four freshly ground coffees, had two gluten-free cakes and really enjoyed our little pit-stop here. The coffee is roasted on-line (and you can see the roaster if you ask there are other shops on site to visit too.Happy to welcome our little dog. You should go.

Nice coffees in lovely courtyard setting in holt. Everyone else NOT on diets seemed to be having bacon sandwiches!

We are creatures of habit and once we have found somewhere we like and food that we like, we are quite predictable. We find the service superb from the owner and her young staff excellent and it is always good to be welcomed back. I love their bacon baguettes and my family their cheese and tuna and cheese and onion baguettes.Place spotless and food excellent..

Had a coffee and a snack here whilst visiting Holt recently with family. A charming place with excellent service. It was a hot day so we sat outside the cafe. One of us had a gluten free brownie, one a cheese scone and two of us a pasty. We all had a really nice coffee, could have had another coffee but didn't want to spoil ourselves! All of it was excellent quality and we sat in the sunshine, watching the world go by. A nice little interlude in a super little town

We stopped by in Holt for the afternoon, the scone and cappuccino were very good, lovely selection of cakes to choose from, you can sit outside as we did and enjoy the weather.

Visited before without issue and was OK. Visited Sun 29 May with family and grand daughter. Service slow because ' we're up against it' ! Asked for our grand daughters food to be heated in the microwave for 20 seconds. We were told 'No' - we're too busy. After visiting annually we won't be visiting again.RussellBedfordshire

After a morning in the cold wind at Blackney a coffee and cake were in order. Cappuccino, 2 pots of tea, hot chocolate, iced bun, chocolate brownie, cherry Danish and a Bakewell tart-yummy.Quick and friendly service. Plenty of choice of cakes. Nice to visit a local coffee shop rather than one of the big "brands"Would definitely return.

Just what you want for a good value lunch. Baked potatoes, sandwiches, pasties.Great home made cakes especially the huge florentines!Lots of tables inside and out with room for families.

My husband and I visit The Cafe each time we come to Holt and always choose the Soup of the Day and slice of cake option. The soup is delicious, the rolls are huge and the choice of cakes is always excellent. The staff are very friendly and provide a quick service. Thank you - we'll definitely be back!

Having meandered around Holt and made our purchases we made our way back to the car park and stopped off here for a drink and bite to eat. Although decor is a little dated the food and service was very good. Friendly welcoming staff and a good choice of snacks and cakes to choose from. I selected an extra large mug of coffee and it is large, good value too. To eat I had the bacon, brie and cranberry baguette which was delicious and filling. There are plenty of eateries in Holt but this is well worth a visit situated off the main High St.

Good tasty home cooked food reasonably priced. Leek and potato soup and wholemeal roll lovely plus victoria sponge and coffee sponge tasty and sid loved his white hot chocolate with cream and sprinkles.

We popped in in the off chance as it was the first cafe we found with space.Welcomed by staff and sat at a table close to the window.There is an extensive choice of sandwiches, hot and cold and soup and cakes also, all appear to be made on the premises.The food was tasty, the drinks large and tasty and the staff very polite and helpfulThanks very much a lovely lunchtime snack!

Like with a lot of places in Norfolk, the decor is old fashioned, with dark stained furniture, chintz fabrics and patterned carpets.The food though, was very edible, served efficiently and was reasonably priced. Although the place is dated and tired, the standards of hygiene. Appear to be of a satisfactory standard.If we are totally honest, Byfords around the corner, are too up themselves and keep customers waiting, thinking they will return and pay silly prices for their run of the mill Fayre. Walk around the corner to this Chapel yard Cafe. Not quite as grand, but the food it fine and only half the price of Byfords.We would certainly return when next in the area

Popped in on a rainy winters day, the smells were wonderful, will highly recommend the soup and cake deal at only £5.95 BARGAIN! Home made soup with a lovely warm bread roll, then a choice of cake from the display, what a choice, too many to list, the fruit and marzipan was delicious, also the toffee caramel. Visiting here is a must.

Popped in for lunch (was going to go to Alberts Chip Shop has heard good reviews but was closed Monday's and Tuesdays) Sat outside in courtyard. My Wife had large piece of quiche with salad and potatoes and I had a bacon/brie/cranberry baguette. The dog had a sausage roll (looks like he will be putting on the pounds this holiday).

Right next to the car park, in Chapel Yard, this is a handy stop for morning coffee/tea. I had a nice cream tea, service was quick and cheerful, a good price. Some tables outside (too cold the day we visited!)

We actually came here a few years ago when our son was a toddler, so we knew there would be plenty to choose from for our children. It didn't disappoint. This was a quick morning visit before going to the station to ride on the Steam Train. My children both had apple juice and, despite a previous review, were happily given straws to use. I had a cinnamon butter toasted teacake, which was delicious. The staff are friendly and helpful. The toilets are upstairs, which is a bit of a hassle with small children, but can't be helped. Overall, I would definitely recommend it and would revisit.

We have had lunch at Cafe Chapel Yard for several years and have always had great food, and great service.There is a good menu including hot specials and delicious home made cakes. I particularly enjoy their bacon baguette which comes with crisps and home-made coleslaw.It is an excellent place to stop off and enjoy a meal whilst watching the world go by.

Looking forward to a family day out in Holt, we immediately came across The Cafe Chapel Yard. It is the first coffee shop you come to from the main car park in Holt. We were only wanting coffee and teas, but our two children who are aged four and two said they would just like to have water. As parents we are always happy if they choose the healthy option of water, rather than drinks containing sugar. The owner of the coffee shop brought out our drinks, with our childrens waters in the squashy type plastic clear disposable cups. When we politely asked if it would be possible for our children to have a straw for their water, the owner responded with, "Sorry I only have half a dozen straws left and I am saving those for our milkshakes". She promptly left. We were left astounded by this response. The cups were very difficult for both of our children to handle as they squashed when they tried to drink their water. For our youngest it was impossible to drink, as it just spilt all over him without a straw. It was only 10 minutes until closing and the two sets of customers that came in after us certainly didn't order any milkshakes. Not only did this seem extremley miserly, poor customer service, it made us feel as if we were not welcome. It does not give a good first impression for visitors to Holt. Thankfully, we were extremly impressed with the rest of the other shops and places to eat during our visit to Holt.

A day trip to Holt needed a quick Tea and Cake stop, so we walked in the doors to what was probably one of the warmest welcomes you can have on a drizzly English Summer day. The staff were very attentive, helpful, informative and very polite.The selection of foods available was excellent a well priced, with offers for a snack and a cake etc.Between us we went for a Cheese and Broccoli soup, and Crab Sandwich with a pot of tea for two. Both was very good, and my wife regarded the granary bread roll that came with the soup as really good and my sandwich was very well filled with local crab meat (white and brown meat), both were very tasty. The cakes that followed were sublime, and the Florentine I had was massive (and very tasty!).If you are every in Holt, pop in as I'm sure you'll be well served and not regret it, we will be back again soon.

Homemade fare which is always delicious. I have known this place for years and never thought to review it before - sorry, my fault! Tucked away in the pleasant surroundings of the Chapel Yard, with its variety of local shops - this place really is a treasure. The deal of homemade soup with a freshly baked and warm roll followed by a piece of cake of your own choice is always worth a visit to Holt. Seek this place out and don't just go for the

We love The Cafe in Holt.Katie is so friendly and always welcoming.The home made food is wonderful . My husband loves the soup with the warm cob roll and we love the quiche. If you like cakes then this is the place to eat they are superb.

A small family run cafe next to one of the town car parks, the meals, snacks and cakes are served by cheerful folks, in an order suitable to you i.e. drink before, during or after your meal. On my last visit I sat outside in the courtyard in the sun with a large hot coffee and huge Chelsea bun and got change out of £5. There are of course many cafes/restaurants in Holt but this is worth a visit, especially for snacks and cakes. An ideal place for the non-shopper to bide their time awaiting return of the partner etc.

We have visited Holt on numerous occasions and I felt it time to gave praise to an excellent Cafe at which we have always enjoyed excellent and thoughtful service. By this I mean it is the only Cafe where you are offered your drinks either straight away or with your meal, normally by the time we get our meals our tea is either cold or finished. The food is very well prepared and presented and nothing is too much trouble for the staff. Also given the ever increasing cost of eating in Holt The Cafe Chapel Yard is excellent value for money.

Called in on a Sunday late lunchtime for a light snack. Special offer of home made soup and crusty bread, plus a home made cake for £5.95. Very welcoming staff, friendly prompt service and excellent home made fayre. The crusty bread turned out to be a warm individual cottage loaf with butter. A wide selection of cake to choose from, we shared out choices and both were delicious and generous portions. As the name suggests this cafe is located in Chapel Yard next to a large car park, lots of little interesting shops to visit in the yard as well. Would definitely call again if we are in the area.

Located next to the town car park this is an old style family run cafe with plenty of interesting options and all the traditional cakes and pastries you expect from a tea room. We had an eccles cake, buttery flaky pastry full of currants, and a large toasted tea cake with plenty of cinnamon butter. Both were excellent. We also had a gingerbread latte, nice and spicy, and an americano coffee which was nice and strong.Although the cafe was busy with lunchtime customers the service was quick and friendly and we did not have to wait long for our refreshments. The location is ideal for a break, pre or post tour of this delightful market town.
