The Sitting Room in North Norfolk

Fabulous food, ambience and great vibe! Loved it here. Wet and windy morning in Sheringham and we found this place. Made us so welcome. Thankyou to all staff

The best place in Sheringham to go for a range of food and drinks. Friendly and helpful staff and a great atmosphere.

Lovely place for a tasty snack !

Blooming excellent. Try the unlimited toast that you can do at your table with your own toaster. Had selection of bread crumpets muffin and fruit bread with various jams marmalade and lemon curd. Will definitely be back. The owner is lovely too

Well run and homely, run by staff who care about the customer. We had the cranberry and brie panini, with an excellent cappuccino coffee, the best made we have had in Norfolk. Nice to go somewhere that pride is taken serving the customer. Look forward to returning next year!

Lovely service, free internet, no problem to charge my phone. Coffee really great. Not expensive. I had my teams meeting in there.

Excellent coffee and very good porridge. It was very busy when we were there and the coffees took a long time to arrive. However they were worth the wait!

Looking for a café where we could talk, we failed, here. Far too noisy to speak without raising one's voice. Didn't eat there.

Lovely quiet cafe just off the main street. Friendly staff, delicious sandwiches and panini and lovely tea and coffee. Peaceful patio outside the front. Will visit again when next in Sherringham.

Had to send my toasted sandwich back as it was under cooked

Lovely healthy lunch with rich coffee and cream. Relaxing lounge area with aesthetically pleasing decor. Perfect atmosphere for a Saturday afternoon with most efficient, friendly service.

Was looking for somewhere to have lunch on a very busy day during school holidays, and found this friendly little café just round the corner from the clock tower. It's in a lovely old building and has an outside seating area. Very homely inside with traditional decor, comfy chairs and some nice pictures on the wall. Although the café was busy, I managed to get a small table near the counter. The two young men who were serving were both courteous and helpful. I ordered the Cornish pasty with salad, but there were also sausage rolls, vegetarian quiches and other light snacks available as well as some yummy looking cakes. Did not have to wait too long for my pasty and it was really good quality, piping hot, tasty and filling. Had a nice pot of loose tea, served with a china cup and a strainer. Payment was with card only, and prices were very reasonable. A most satisfying lunch! Would come here again if I return to Sheringham.

Owner delivers outstanding service

The Sitting Room is my very favourite tea room in Norfolk, wonderful staff, beautiful atmosphere and great tasting coffee. The food is superb but I am particularly impressed with their cheese scones. Light and tasty but what sets them apart is that they actually taste of cheese.

We went here for afternoon tea for my mums birthday. We had a wonderful time, the tea selection was just lovely & well as the two different plates we had both sweet & savoury. The staff were all friendly & so helpful. I would 100% recommend as it was on par with Betty’s of York afternoon tea.

A delicious sandwich, excellent friendly service and very good value. Sat outside with very comfortable chairs and enjoyed the sunshine

Amazing place, fabulous service, very calm & relaxed - we will be back

This is the place for a light lunch or snack. Not the cheapest, but as good as you will find locally

Lovely food and friendly staff. Dog friendly outside. Owner very welcoming. Delicious lunch and fabulous cakes. A real gem and we will return. Well worth a visit

Lovely lunch and friendly staff. Would recommend. Dog friendly outside. Will return.

We went for an afternoon tea for our Grandmas birthday and went in beforehand to pay and let them know it’s going to be for her birthday. They said they would make it really special and they did! Really lovely selection of cakes and sandwiches and the scones were lovely as well. They sung to her and made it really nice for us, would definitely recommend.

We live locally and popped in for a coffee a couple of days ago for the first time, wow what a lovely place it was like being in our own sitting room ☺️ the ambience and surroundings were so nice, relaxing and soothing. I think the place attracts certain clientele as well making it even more nice 😃 The coffee was fantastic and the almond croissant was the best I have ever had, we certainly be visiting again! Thank you.

Lovely cafe for tea and cakes- the warm chocolate brownies with clotted cream was amazing. Very pleasant and comfortable.

Fantastic place and fantastic staff x

Fantastic place. Great food and excellent service. I had the cornish pasty delicious. My boyfriend had the brie and onion chutney. We were so surprised and delighted to see balsamic vinegar on the table instead of the cheap sauces. Lovely touch. My boyfriend had the cappuccino, which he said was one of the best coffees he had had. Loose tea is so good 👍. We had the chocolate and cherry slice. Everything was perfect. Highly recommended.

This was my first time visiting sheringham and popped in for some lunch with a friend, we were greeted with a warm welcome! There were lots of food options to chose from, the coffee and brie and cranberry toasty was lovely! Would definitely like to try the afternoon tea. Will 100% be returning!

Really lovely place. Great coffee, great cakes, and fantastic atmosphere and staff.

Great food, lovely comfortable place to eat, drink and be sociable

Unfriendly and definitely not dog friendly. We were abruptly told to sit outside and someone would come take our order (there was only one table of 2 people inside). After waiting 10 mins nobody bothered to come so we just left. Upon speaking to other locals we were advised to avoid The Sitting Room anyway. Thankfully, Google reviews allow the bad apples to be called out for what they are. Avoid this rude behaviour and go elsewhere as there are plenty of better restaurants in the locality.

Friendly place with food coffee and interesting savories and sweet things.

Always a warm welcome from all the staff. The light lunches are always tasty and well presented.

Booked an afternoon tea for my in-laws as a Christmas treat. They were made to feel so welcome and special; nothing was too much trouble. The food was absolutely delicious with all dietary needs catered for. Thank you for making this such an enjoyable experience.

Very nice helpful service and lovely food and nice to have a proper pot of tea!

Love The Sitting Room. Great to relax in its calm atmosphere and the food is very good. Always happy to change anything on the menu if you wish. Glad I'm local!!

Christian was amazing, they had run out of fruit scones so they baked fresh ones for us to take away, we had Red, White & Rose wine while we waited all of which were fantastic. The scones were incredible. This was Customer service at its best and anytime we are in Sheringham we will definitely return. Thank you Christian x

Webste states gluten free options are available. When we were seated at the table and given the menu we asked about gluten free options. No main course savoury dishes were available , its crazy to think the only choice for a coeliac is cake! We left without eating!!

I really like the sitting room. The menu is varied and I like how they have nice little added touches to make it a bit more special. I don’t like coffee myself but they have a good range of other drinks. The music is nice, comfy and cosy seating, great service. I’m not sure where the comments about the owners being arrogant come from? Maybe you get what you give! Lovely little place, I recommend you try it!

Beautiful cakes and patisserie, really good coffee and amazing selection of other beverages too. My other half had Chai tea! All the savoury food looked lovely, but didn't try on this occasion. Would like to though, on another visit. Seating outdoors and indoors. Would thoroughly recommend.

Not impressed with the milkshake £4.50 Small glass and half filled with ice. Stick with a coffee

Never been to a place and spoken down to by the most pompus Arrogant owner , he has no regard to anyone above him self , as a local in which he counts on in the winter months we will not be visiting this over rated greasy spoon , and encourage other locals to do the same

We had lunch here, my wife had the tart and salad which was good. I had the avocado special with salad.

Very pleasant staff, nice food and drink and nice early 20thc. furniture

We enjoyed a lovely afternoon tea on Friday. Everything was perfect. Sandwiches full with filling and pastries and scones so fresh. The Sitting Room is a hidden gem off the main high street. Staff wonderful. Highly recommend!

Nice food, nice drinks, let down by slow unattentive service and a small food choice

Wonderful place .. friendly staff .. amazing food .. the best Espresso Martini .. 🍸💕

We chose this cafe for lunch on a hot day. The superfood salad was delicious. Friendly staff and the cafe is attractively presented with eclectic furniture and paintings (for sale).

Great food and great service/staff

Great place to sit and chat over beverages. Staff friendly, coffee very nice. Prices good. 😊

Charming. Enjoyed excellent tea and cakes in the early afternoon in lovely surroundings served by very friendly staff.

Excellent Decaf cappuccino and pot of tea, great service and dog friendly, definitely one to go back to 👏

Booked an afternoon tea for my partners 60th . Really impressed. I had posted balloons asking if they could put them up which they did. Lovely food. So many sandwiches, two huge scones and lots of smaller cakes . Really good value for money and the staff were very nice . A very enjoyable experience

Superb service and food in lovely surroundings

Great coffee! Excellent service and food.

We were looking for a light lunch in Sheringham and didn't really fancy a pub so thought we would try The Sitting Room. It is slightly off the beaten track although we have noticed it before but never been in. What a lovely find! I really liked the quirky 'shabby chic' style and the mis-matched vintage cups and saucers. We got a large pot of tea to share and the tap water was chilled. There is a decent choice of food and everything we had was really good. Prices were affordable: I added a good sized side salad to my toasted sandwich for a very reasonable £1.50p. Service was friendly and efficient and the staff are lovely. I would definitely go back and would unhesitatingly recommend a visit.

Nice food and staff, and tea room with out side sitting also. Perhaps could do with a little more variety of main meals. Otherwise enjoyable.

Lovely coffee and cake! Great service from friendly staff! Highly recommended.

I went to the Sitting Room today because I like the coffee and ambience but when I went to payi I was left shaking with indignation as they would not accept my cash. As a pensioner I felt discriminated and hurt. This the first place I have come across in N Nfk that has refused cash!

Limited choice over Easter and disappointing staff service

Lovely welcoming staff. Rannout of cake too early 🙃 Lovely coffee x

This was a great find in the town centre everything was great lovely staff and great food. Everything is cleaned after every customer leaves

Absolutle brilliant service! Went with friends, felt very welcomed and they accomodated my friend's dietary requirements with ease no fuss. Food was tasty, decor was quiant. Definitely a good place to visit for a bite to eat and catch up.

Great place to eat and drink coffee, tea etc. Sausage rolls (which are homemade)all sold out when we visited

On our last morning in Sheringham we went to the Sitting Room not knowing what they could provide. We were seriously impressed with the girl’s Porridge and fruit additions and blokes Bacon sandwiches. Great coffee and our tea choices including a decaffeinated option. The comfort...

Lovely place. The staff are great. Geeat for a girls coffee morning x

Visited this place last summer and I didn’t have a good experience which still annoys me to this day. Took my parents here for their first time as I mentioned to them how nice it was the previous time I went. I pre booked the...

Nice food, really friendly staff.

Absolutely fabulous afternoon tea, we booked for 9 (4 kids)and had a lovely afternoon, nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely recommend.

Perfect culinary start to the day plus service with a smile.

Best coffee in Sheringham...... probably.

Lovely atmosphere with happy helpful staff. Coffee, hot chocolate and cakes are wonderful as well.

Enjoyed my latte and mille feuille. Comfortable and friendly place for food and a chat.

Friendly staff good food and coffee. Love it :)

Very tasty food served with a smile

Lovely place, Lovely staff & service was excellent. Had a lovely coffee & tea however we had a bacon roll each which was £4.30 & only one rasher of bacon in each, which tasted nice but 2 rashers would have been better bacon to bread...

Was expecting more..... Waited 15 mins after sitting no one took our order so went to the till and placed it ourselves. Tea and just hot coffee arrived 10 minutes later was told toasted fruit bread was on it's way it never arrived. On settling the bill which seemed a little high just about got an apology will not be returning Macarons were delicious if very small for a pound each

Stopped here on a Thursday afternoon with the hope of getting a coffee and cake. Looked lovely from the outside with seating inside and out. We were greeted by a young man who was incredibly rude, I asked for a table of 6 to sit outside, to be told, they do not have any tables of 6 and they do not move tables and chairs. There were plenty free and only one other person outside. Very disappointing that you cannot cater for larger families. We went on to find somewhere else.

Favourite place for a coffee when in Sheringham. Staff always friendly and welcoming. Great selection of cakes. Lovely setting.

Great teas and snacks ,good service , lovely staff xxx

Really nice food and drink. Atmosphere excellent too if you like 60s and 70s music (I do). Staff very friendly and helpful. Toilets clean too (my main criteria). Worth a visit 😋

Lovely atmosphere, cosy vibes and lovely staff! They also offer vegan options which is amazing. If you are vegan or dairy free they do a vegan milkshake which is lush!!!!

We had a lovely coffee and cake in this little tea room, attached to an art gallery. The staff were so welcoming.

Smashing pot of tea for two. Tuna salad with olives good

Let me start by saying that the staff working here are lovely and very attentive; had booked afternoon tea as a treat after a long journey from London. Sadly the selection was very poor-sandwiches made from cheap bread, one scone and a very dry cake...

We were told about this tea room and are glad we made the effort to come. Very good tea. Try the caramel cream slice. The team works hard to please all customers. We will return for there afternoon tea

Top notch coffee, very helpful and friendly staff.

Nice Cafe, simple menu with lovely food. We always pay a couple of visits when going to Sheringham.

No doubt the owner Mr P will respond with a defensive attitude having read previous reviews. We were shown to a table,staff very attentive,drinks came super fast and then the wait for food……….we waited over half an hour……it was not particularly busy. 2 Panninis with...

Very nice tea rooms located just off the high street with outside seating area. Staff were very good . COVID guidelines still in place which was great to see we felt safe, all areas cleaning took place . We had lunch which was excellent tasty especially the home made warm sausage roll with side salad. Fresh cream cake and scone very nice and freshly baked. Prices what you would expect for good food not expensive I would say good value Dogs welcome in fact the wonderful lady who served us at the table went and fetched a bag of dog biscuits as a treat for our doggies. Highly recommended this establishment and we hope to come back again .

We came here last August and its was so nice we came again this year. We had lunch here , August 2021, with family (4 adults & 2 youths) plus Dexter the dog. There is a great choice of food on the menu and it...

Incredibly slow service with no warning. Twenty minutes after our hot drinks arrived we cancelled or food order. So much for having a cup of tea and a scone! How can it takes over 20 minutes to put a scone on a plate? If it is going to take 25 minutes to make a toastie, tell us when we order.

My friend brought me here for a full afternoon tea and they did us proud: crust-free sandwiches, miniature, bite-size cakes, and scones with jam and cream. Trendy mismatched crockery, all in a lovely old building. Just the ticket!

Nice coffee and tea lounge. Lovely decor. Friendly staff and great food. Inside and outside seating.

The coffee is the best in Sheringham.

Great service and lovely food. Would visit for lunch again.

Had a quick coffee and pastry as at the time there was a 25 minute wait for food from the kitchen.

Excellent service and excellent pots of proper English tea and scones. Tea for 4 and scones/cakes ( Vegan options available) £20. Good clean & we'll appointed. Will return.

Really nice food and excellent drinks. Fruit bread good favourite with people I was with. Lovely place to visit. Recommend Make waiter was aware of GF options. Thanks

Great little find after coming for a day trip to Sheringham. Value for money was great and the portions were huge! I took my salad away with me as there was enough for 3 people! They accommodated extra requests we added to our meals. My...

Great place to have a coffee and a cake or scone. Lots of choice and very hospitable. The place is well decorated with lovely art work and with a unique vintage and homely (yet modern) feel. I especially like the way the owners treat all...

Good food, excellent coffee, attentive staff, nice ambiance.
