The Lemon And Rosemary Yard in Breckland

We have eaten here for Sunday roast and enjoyed a recent 'round the world' evening (Caribbean). The staff are wonderful ... really welcoming and attentive throughout. The food ..... omg!! You can smell how wonderful it's going to be, as soon as you park your car ... It is absolutely delicious 😋... the roasts are gorgeous, loads of tender meat/choice and beautifully cooked veg.. with a huge yorkshire pud ... that I wish I could master, but why bother when you can come to the L&R!! 🤔😁 The themed nights are tapas style with loads of meat/veg/hot/cold options and believe me.... each dish just absolutely melts in your mouth, and all are all so full of flavour and perfect balance of herbs/spices.... just simply delicious. Before each time we've been, we said to each other... 'we're not having desert' ... then seeing what comes out of the kitchen.. that statement went out the window!! Once you've finished, you can also then take home a selection of goodies ... pastries/pies/cakes etc from the fabulous deli counter... and I challenge you not to eat them before you get home ... or eat them as soon as you do get home ... as they smell, look, and taste so delicious. There's a fabulous choice of beers and lovely wines. Please visit, you will not be disappointed. Thank you L&R... keep up the good work and delicious food... and as Annie said .... we'll be back!! Xx

I feel a bit guilty giving a bad review but didn’t really enjoy my Sunday roast here. Yorkshire and gravy were nice but soggy roasts let it down.maybe a nice cafe but wasn’t for me

I came as it was an ex student serving up food so I thought I'd show support. This was one of their "around the world" nights and the focus was Korean , which I love. I had no idea what to expect to be honest, but it was absolutely amazing and no faults at all. The venue is lovely and they have made it really special. Service was excellent and the food was out of this world. Each plate we had we didn't think could be improved on - but it did. New favourite place !

What a beautiful place 😍 The Quiche Lorraine was the most delicious I have ever eaten, the staff were so friendly and we absolutely loved the colourful interior 💕 so pretty, we will definitely visit again! Highly recommend it!

Fantastic afternoon tea to celebrate my Sister and Mum's Birthdays. As Mum is diabetic I asked for reduced sugar and the Ladies at L&R Yard prepared suitable items for us to enjoy. We all loved it and so generous that we took the cakes home. Will be back!

We had a wonderful Sunday lunch at the Lemontree and Rosemary yard. The staff were so lovely and accommodating any the food was incredible. I love it when you get a huge Yorkshire with all meats, yum! Our dog was also welcomed with open arms and treats. A really great lunch out, couldn’t recommend it more!

We used to love coming here for a hearty cooked breakfast or a tasty, satisfying lunch, chosen from the specials board. Since New Year the menu has been drastically reduced. Gone are cooked breakfasts. Gone is the specials board. In fact, gone are freshly cooked meals! Instead , for lunch. there is soup or pre cooked quiches, veggie tarts, and sausage rolls which are re heated and served with salad, kidney beans and a tiny pot of crisps. There is an option of a ploughman's but it's pitiful, or, pork pie, also with salad and crips. Saddens me to say, that at £12.50 for a small veggie tart, a few crisps, a LOT of kidney beans and a salad, this is not good value and I won't be coming again, when I can knock this up at home for about £4.00 and save myself getting the car out. At the time of writing, nowhere on their media pages does it show the new 2024 menu. All the pics are still showing the original menus. This place used to be great but I think they are concentrating on the evening meals from around the world and the daytime menu has fallen by the wayside. Coffee/tea/alcoholic drinks and cakes etc from the deli remain as they were before, thankgoodness. The staff are still LOVELY and the vibe and decor are still chilled but that doesn't compensate for the lack of freshly cooked food. We've been customers of L and R Yard since they opened but regretfully, we won't be back.

Amazing coffee and Cake! We both had lovely Coffees, and the cake is to die for! I had the cinnamon bun it was INCREDIBLE !!

Wow! What a delight! Warm, interesting, friendly and accommodating staff, great ambience ( and I do like a bit of ambience) Excellent Sunday Roast - Yorkshires the size of a beach bucket, lots of seasonal veg- well cooked, tender meat and a wholesome nut roast. The grandkids eat all theirs as did we all. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. (and a church to visit just opposite and a leavy lane with an amazing Tudor house to see on the way there) heartily recommend.

A great place to go for a delicious Sunday lunch; vegetables were cooked to perfection and although I didn't think I would manage to eat the Yorkshire Pudding as it was huge, I polished the whole thing off! Lovely relaxed atmosphere and lovely staff - we are so lucky to have this little gem on our doorstep and we will be going back again. Also really goof value for money, which matters these days.

An amazing Sunday relaxed lunch with such a wonderfully friendly but utterly delicious meal. Perfection don’t miss out.😘 And yet again returned today with another friend & enjoyed the amazingly “ at home” friendly atmosphere and service & delicious lunch. Thank you so much yet again.?

Great cafe, great food, fabulous coffee and the best staff. Fave cafe in the area and we have lots of choice!

We came here for the first time, due to the wonderful reviews. We were not disappointed. The Sunday roast beef lunch was very good indeed. The meat was tender, the Yorkshire puddings large and perfectly cooked and the vegetables were a revelation! I don't normally eat parsnips or cauliflower cheese, but both were so good, that I ate the lot! The red cabbage was superb. We followed with a trio of tray bakes to share and excellent coffee. These were so good, that we bought more from the deli, to take home. An interesting place to find, but well worth the effort. The ladies were efficient and friendly. I would recommend booking, as they were full.

An amazing Sunday relaxed lunch with such a wonderfully friendly but utterly delicious meal. Perfection don’t miss out.😘

Hidden gem, first visit today and can’t wait to visit again and try the Sunday lunch. Great service, gorgeous cakes too x

Booked from a social media message for Sunday lunch after reading posts and comments from others. Having pre booked we were shown to our reserved table and welcomed for coming here for the first time. Sue and I both choose the Pork Sunday roast from the menu board brought to our table and ordered a small glass of Rose wine each from the drinks menu. Well when our pork roast plates were served it contained two thick pork slices and the largest yorkshire pudding we have been served outside of Yorkshire! The veg was served on a wooded board in dishes for us to help ourselves and we were told if we needed any more of anything just let them know. Even though the plate and veg dishes were filled to the top so to say large portions was an understatement for us as we couldn't managed more of anything annd had to leave a roast potato each. So having thought the Sunday roasts were expensive from the board menu having eated it I can see why this charge is made and is really good value. The rose wine was a bit pricey but not having been out much after a pandemic lockdown, moving and renovating needed to be done first, we could be out of touch with wine prices charged with meals eaten out. We were not rushed so also had a desert of lemon tart and ice cream this was expensive and only had one ice cream scoop and no offer of if we wanted more? So in my opinion two would have been better to last eating with the lemon tart. The service was friendly and the owner also came over to make sure everthing was alright with our roasts served. As we told her we were very impressed and will be returning to sample a breakfast and also the Friday evening around the world meals offered in 2024. Just need to budget for it first as everyone has too now. John & Sue Swaffham UK

We visit monthly for the round the world evenings- Menu always so creative and tasty, service and atmosphere is second to none. The layout is warm and welcoming with a few little treats and trinkets to purchase too along with a well stocked deli counter. We book our diaries around the wonderful menu for the theme evenings- and are never disappointed - and when the bill arrives it’s very reasonable!

Took a friend who has never visited before and she is a real fuss pot eater ! We both had the Full Yard breakfast and it was beautiful all fresh and toast to suit your taste It was a busy morning with lots in for coffee and cakes She will be back with her family Full marks as always

We visited the Lemon and Rosemary Yard for a Sunday Roast, We where not disappointed. It has to be one of the most delicious roast dinners we've ever had. The beef was so tender and cooked perfectly. The most enormous yorkshire pudding. Good selection of vegetables and all served with great presentation. Greeted by lovely friendly staff. The whole place has such a warm and welcoming feel about it. There is a lovely garden out the back of the restaurant. We sat here with the best coffee and a sweet treat. There is a good selection of cakes on offer we chose the cannoli We will definitely be back to this hidden gem
