Walkers Snacks in Forest Heath

We have been stopping at Walkers since it was a caravan, well over 40 years. First when we came, often, to Norfolk from Bedfordshire, and then, when we moved to Norfolk, every time we went to visit friends and family in Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire. We stopped there on our bikes, in cars and in vans. We picked up burgers for our kids when they were at Uni in Cambridge and Northampton and we visited, took them, or picked them up. You get the picture, we have visited a lot! We never had a problem with anything. I loved the burgers and my husband loved the sausage and bacon baguettes, we both loved the coffee and we shared the lovely, golden, chips. The last time we visited we ordered our usual, then went to our car in the woods to eat. Unfortunately, my double burger turned out to be a single dry burger. It wasn't the end of the world, and I dismissed it as a mistake, I didn't bother to complain. Hubby said the baguette was a little dry and the sausage and bacon were overcooked, but we just hoped it was a blip. However, we went for brunch on Sunday and were very disappointed to find that my double burger with onions was actually a fishfinger roll with watery tomato sauce. My husbands sausages were done to death and the bacon was dried out and burnt on one side. The chips and cappuccinos, as always were good though. I didn't go back to complain as a large influx of bikers had arrived and the queue was very long. I didn't want the chips and coffee to get cold. It does mean that we will not be stopping here again, and will frequent Maccy D's or Burger King instead. I know things always change, and we are very grateful that we have had many years of delicious food. We are just sad that the original owners, grumpy or not, (although both of them were fine with us) have left.

Great food here, really tasty and a great deal.

I've been coming to this cafe for about 4 years religiously and for good reason. The staff are so polite and welcoming, in the summer it's a lovely spot full of bikers, I've made many a friend here. And of course the food, the food is incredible. If you're looking for flavour that tastes like home cooked, this is the place to come.

Great convenience and ideal place to stop for a break. Clean and tidy

Good place to stop ,toilets on site. Loads of parking, and many different walking routes you can do

Bike friendly 🚲 good vegan options and quick service 👍 Tasty lunch and a good cuppa tea with oat milk 😋

Lovely food cooked fresh. Amazing hot chocolate

Been coming here for absolute years this cafe is well situated on the A11 near Thetford has nice walks to stretch the legs during a long car journey the cafe is reasonably priced and cooked to order can be extremely busy at time but well staffed so you don't have to wait too long to receive your order food great and worth waiting for toilet facilities also available on site I would certainly recommend walkers to anyone passing through.

Basically truckers stop, but do serve a good sausage bap plus other hot rolls and cakes and hot drinks, lovely wooded area been using it for years on way to Norfolk. The one big letdown ( not sure if Walkers have any control) are the toilets, smelly no hot water no hand driers always wet floors (gents), avoid like the plague if you can. Been like it for years so i know what to expect. Walker's gets very busy in the summer, and they are reasonably priced. Shame the toilets let the pleasant spot down.

Always a great stop of for coffee and the best local breakfast rolls! Very busy and popular with bikers in the sunny weather

Good filled baguettes, coffee was decent.

Just stopped 2 walk dogs n have a wee myself

Gone down a bit lately. Seem to have lost a few of the good staff, and there seems to be a bit of corner cutting going on. Not as nice a stopoff on the way to Swaffham as it once was. Quality and quantity has dropped...

Sometimes dine there at picnic benches or on occasion takeaway, the place gets very busy at weekends particularly as it is a massively popular bikers haunt, be prepared for your order to be taken quite quickly and efficiently, but then a bit of a wait for food to come out, but it's worth the wait, prices are reasonable, and the food good quality, very friendly staff, and nice relaxed atmosphere, fab motorbikes to look at, well worth a visit, not sure about service weekdays as I only live 5 mins away, but always take friends there when they visit, it's an interesting experience,

Always fantastic food and service, been going for many years and never had a bad meal

Really good experience, thanks 👍

Dropped a star as breakfast bap a little pricy but so worth stopping at. Great place to stop for a munch on the road.

A gem of a place for lunch, quality of food was excellent

Nice place to stop for a cuppa and a bite to eat. Food is always made fresh and good quality, highly recommend.

Stopped on the way back from London. Great food and great service. Good choice on the menu for vegetarians. Will definitely call in again.

Jacket potatoes are decent. Big and crispy 👌🏻

Always decent fresh honest food

Great little place. Visited as an Air Ambulance motorbike charity ride. Good food and the staff is very nice and friendly.

We ordered 2 x fish & chips. This was the worst fish we have ever eaten, (well tried to eat). Appalling. Definitely won't be going back. No more to be said.

A great place for everyone to enjoy good food and go for a walk

I always enjoy visiting walkers either while on a motorbike jolly or a car journey.

Always a great place to stop for a drink and a snack, good prices friendly staff, would recommend 😊 well situated, what’s not too like

Best place to stop. Better go there than fast food places as it's all fresh home cooked food, it's cheaper than other outlets and it's really nice, helpful staff, nice, clean, friendly. I have been going for years and never had a bad experience.

Lovely bacon cob and cup of tea! The nearby toilets are pretty grim though.

Loved the bread and butter pudding as they didn't have fruit loaf come all way from essex to get it didn't have it.pasties was best yet like the old days use to have.tea best had out on travels.cant wait to go again.

The worst latte I’ve ever had. It tasted like cheap instant coffee with frothy milk poured on top. I only ever drink ground coffee and find it insulting to be given an inferior coffee. First and the very last time I will visit this place. Pity because they could get it so right with a bit more effort towards customers taste. 🤮 called there again today stayed clear of the awful coffee. So ordered tea. The young girl who made it poured water on teabag and took it straight out, so what I got for £1.80 was hot water with milk in. Definitely would never visit this place again. These kids have no idea how to make drinks. Cheap Labour I suppose.

Great staff, food always good, love calling in here

Great place with great food and friendly staff.

Poor, very poor, but that could a description about 90% of British snack bars, i know its not a resteraunt but the basics are just so bland, no butter or very little on the bread for sandwiches, the cheap ingredients, i really must remember to prepare my own.

The place is brilliant for a stop off on the way to oulton broads.

Nice stop off on the long journey home food good as well 😋

Today I took my work team for breakfast and again service and food was outstanding looking forward to our next visit ,

There food is terrific and there is so much to choose from cakes,sweets,burgers,main meals,breakfast,sandwiches,baguettes tea and coffee or soft drinks. My husband and I love the place that’s why we keep going back. The only downside to it is that there is never anywhere to sit down and eat especially at the weekends because it’s so busy with customers.

Staff are very friendly and helpful

Food was great and my cup of tea was made to perfection. Very friendly staff

Exceptional quality freshly cooked food If you havnt been pop in and give it a try you wont be disappointed

Great place to meet up with biker buddies at the weekend for a brew and a sarnie!

This is set in woodland with a short walk to the river. It's a great alternative to the McDonalds over the road. A great stop for lorries bikers and ypu will find a great variety of people there . Personally found the prices a bit steep though.

Lovely food, chilled out staff, great pit stop place

Plenty of parking 🅿️ Food freshly cooked and tasty Seating and friendly atmosphere

Lovely spot to stop for a bite to eat. Food and service always excellent 👌

Great Roadside Cafe, Loads of Motorcycles today... Will be back

Lovely little stop off on our way home from holiday. Great verity and good prices too

Great venue for bikers, good food, great service!

Great breakfast baps, good coffee. We love stopping here.

Best mushroom and halloumi burger I've ever had! Excellent veggie option. Sunday morning bike meets bring bikes and riders from Essex to Norfolk and beyond. Lots of gorgeous bikes from classics to modern. Overall a good ride out especially if you like motorbikes!

Nice little food place with outside seating.

Excellent place to get a lunch and loads of parking

Great place for a stop, been coming here 20+ years

Busy with bikers. Great noise. The staff worked so hard.

A nice ride out perfect for bikers to visit. Very good breakfast

A firm favourite for many years. Decent parking, public loos so don't expect the Ritz. Great food at reasonable prices highly recommended!

Decent coffee and an area to walk to stretch your legs.

Lovely food especially Cheese Scones

Lovely breakfast baguettes and ample parking for work vehicles. Way better than Macdonald's over the road!

Lovely breakfast in a box. The toast was sublime!. Great location also & very nice staff. Was a pleasure to eat here.

Simply the best place to meet fellow motorcyclists, before heading off into Suffolk, Norfolk. We rode to Krazy Horse although we rarely buy anything lol.

Proper roadside cafe for motorists, bikers, cyclists, and walkers. A British institution.

Stop here if you don't want ultra-processed food. It's very good with a large selection.

Stopped off here with an army mate for a lunch. Not badly priced tbh

Delicious food, quality service and very reasonable prices! Why wouldn't you try it out? A+++

Fantastic bikers stop,great food etc.

Used Walkers for many years. From the small wooden hut when they first started, to the building they now have. Everytime i go past or stop there is always people there. The service is great, food delivery is quick and is excellent, tastes fantastic. Hope they continue to be there for many years to come.

Great place to have a little break.

Brilliant menu, super friendly staff, always stop on the way out of Norfolk, and toilet facilities are on site.

A very popular cafe, way better than the McD’s on the roundabout. Lots of parking. Plenty of bench seats.

Overpriced for the quality and quantity of the food. Didnt notice any vegetarian or vegan options on the manu. Setting is great with loads of parking

Motorbike pit stop. Busier in the summer. Nice food, good parking.

Cracking place great food and drink great atmosphere

Good quality and cost. Well worth bypassing Mc Donald’s

We love to stop here for lunch after a walk in Thetford forest. Food is really good, reasonably priced. Good size portions and the cakes are great too, rocky road being the best.

I've been going here for over a decade. Maybe once every few months. I have always been impressed by the friendly staff and great standard of food. No complaints in all that time.

Great place if your a biker, nice ride out and good grub

Always very good food very pleased

WOW. Fast, fresh & great service. Amazing quality at a reasonable price.

Walkers Snacks is a real find as the quality of the food and service is amazing for what is essentially a truck stop come biker cafe. We had the bacon, mushroom and would you believe Stilton baguette which was absolutely delicious.

Lovely spot for walking dogs along the river. Easy parking. Great food especially bacon baps and huge ring donuts. Great choice of cakes and varied menu. Great and welcoming staff. Highly recommended.

Love this place..food is delightful..Great prices and great service.. a perfect stop for a breakfast roll, a pastie and definitely recommend the hot chocolate..wish I lived nearer..although probably good that I don't cos I would be there every day! Lol

I work around the corner so pop in for lunch when I need hot food. Always a superb experience, service with a smile, friendly and patient front of house staff, even in cold and rain. Food is top notch and a very decent portion. I would eat here more often if I didn't fear for my waistline. Would totally recommend.

Stopped here for refreshments whilst out in the bike. Friendly,efficient staff and service. Good choice of foods,snacks and drinks.

Great place to stop for a really good bacon and egg roll and coffee, been using it for years and still just as good 😊

When our bike group are sorting out rides we seem to get to Walkers at least once a month great food great staff

Great jacket potato and cheeseburger

Always lots of bikes and good food handy stop

Excellent service every time we come always polite and food is always great and kid friendly toilets great

Enjoyed a welcomed drink and lovely cake before the last leg of our journey.

What a delight, on the edge of the forest walk. Great variety and really enjoyed my burger.

Great burger, good prices, friendly staff

Great biker stop off for a lot of club ride outs.good food and service is good., 👍

80 mile ride and the burger was well worth it.

Great for a ride out to. Bacon sandwich was a good one and plenty of other bikers to chat away to

Walkers is a great place for a ride out any day of the week the staff are friendly the food is good and there is several GF foods to eat, my wife can't have gluten. We always find ourselves chatting to somebody there so hopefully see you there soon 💗
