The best restaurants in Swaffham Breckland East of England

This family run business has delivered sweet platters, afternoon teas and Christmas goodies to my family on numerous occasions. The owner's wife would always take the time to have a chat with my elderly mother when she delivered to her. As I live abroad this personal service meant a lot to me.

Stunning Little Gem Opens 5 Days a week Mon-FRIDAY 8.30-3.30 I Think heard other people who seemed regular , Lovely Place to Meet For Coffee !

I popped down to one of the car meets that takes place (second Sunday of every month). Just had a coffee but the place is nice inside, clean, toilets spotless and the new owner has plans to further expand/improve. I will definitely be back for a cooked breakfast or similar soon.

We had always wanted to visit this restaurant and when we did it lived up to all our expectations . The food was delicious - could not fault and the wine and cherry vodka were excellent . Everything on the menu was good value for money with generous portions - I often leave hungry when I eat out but not this time . The owner/chef spoke with us during our meal to check all was ok - it was clear she puts everything into her restaurant and her food reflects this. We can’t wait to return when we’re next passing through thank you for a lovely evening a real treat.

We love shellys bistro so nice and welcoming ,very inviting ,lovely food and well presented ,lovely friendly staff ,love the proper teapots it's a tremendous addition to shellys ,toilets always nice and clean it's become our regular place for eating when we come to swaffham Highly recommended

The fish and chips were amazing! The kebabs were delicious. Staff were very friendly and the place is very clean. I am always fussy where I go to eat, and this place definitely ticked all of the boxes for me and the family. See you guys soon

I saw the name of the restaurant from afar and went with my intuition that it must be something special and I was right. In an exotic setting, we were welcomed by the friendly host. Together with my family, we spent few relaxing and fun-filled hours in this unique place. The food was very good and they have a very rich variety of drinks. Thanks to the owner, a special lady! I heartily recommend this place!

Such a lovely cafe. This was our first time here and we went in for a little sweet treat. We had the chocolate sundae and it was absolutely amazing. We will definitely be going back for more. All the prices seemed very reasonable.

The food is amazing! The staff are extremely friendly and the service is fantastic.. also had a milkshake while I was here, gotta give a massive thumbs up for that! Was gorgeous.. Would recommend this place to anyone, perfect place to have lunch and its set away from traffic so very peaceful.

Lovely Sunday Lunch with family . Choice between beef or turkey with a selection of desserts . Home made Ginger sponge was delicious as was the Lemon . Friendly staff and reasonably priced . Would recommend.

Amazing breakfast best in the area and surrounding area. Don’t judge a book by its cover. It really surprised us when we went in. We drive past all the time and wanted to try it out. We were not disappointed. Went with our 3 children. They ate everything on their plates. Father and son run and great service. Will definitely be returning and telling our friends. Thanks for the service and great tasting food. Cooked to perfection by the way.

Visited the George and Dragon after a nice walk around Castle Acre. We went at lunch time and had a main and dessert. The food was excellent but the service was sub standard. Had to go to the bar to order as we were being ignored, the lady then served the food to us whilst on the phone. Hopefully just a bad day at the office.

I went for a private matter with the Landlord , but had a refreshing Cola with ice as I left as it was the hottest day of the year so far (April 29th) ,, the Pub is gorgeous, right in the middle of the towns triangular centre. It's an old pub, clean. The entire area has large pedestrianised pavements, the pub has a delightful covered seating out front allowing people watching and being seen. They have lots of hanging baskets which makes the old pub very pretty. Due to its location and street management it has a very European or Parisian feel. I saw the rear court yard where the rooms are , but didn't see inside.

Great friendly pub, with well kept choice of beers and ciders. Has good atmosphere and live music. Just wish it did food!

This is an excellent take-away. I have spent a lot of time travelling in Indian and Bangladesh. The Swaffham Spice is probably about as close to authentic street food that you can get. If your looking for the sanitised brit version of Indian food, expensive and laced with cream and colouring, then its probably not for you. If you want to sample a curry, as it should be, then this is the place for you. Great flavours together with excellent prices.
