The best restaurants in Two Rivers Breckland East of England

A greatvlittleccafe just off the beaten track. Well worth seeking out. Excellent food and service at fair prices. The range of foods is hood as is their afternoon tea.

Second time visiting here today and just as great as the first time - portion sizes are excellent with a lovely side salad (with melon too!) and delicious coleslaw too. Will definitely be a regular spot for when next in the area!

Absolutely fantastic ..food was amazing..will definitely be going there again..

Cod is a good size and you can choose to have the skin on or off,large chips is very large,so only order if you can eat a lot,prices are OK,and the service is quick.

We have been to Cafe Verde a lot over the years. Currently they have an excellent team in there. Good friendly chef and pleasant staff out front. One young lady ha s a very pleasant demeanour and remembers our names and that one of us is gluten free, she is very on the ball and a credit to the business. Recommended for Sunday roasts and weekday meet ups

The cake choice is superb, spoilt for choice which is good!

Since we moved to Mattishall in Feb 2018, we have used the Swan for family and friends visits. The food is to die for and, the menu is always changing so, no getting the same boring stuff week after week. Sunday in autumn, winter is carvery and, what a carvery. One price gets you a large plate plus, a sweet of your choice. One thing i like is, being a vegetarian, there are always several meals to choose from including a massive quorn veggie burger. The portions are way above normal as my Dad can vouch for and all freshly cooked. Their speciality pies are much sought after and, if you don't get in quick, they're gone. Sonia and Peter run an excellent pub restaurant with a cheerful, friendly and helpful staff for which nothing is too much trouble. If you're passing through, I recommend stopping at this friendly eatery.

We were in the village on an ancestry hunt and the pub was the only place open to get a spot of lunch. It was a Monday so we were the only customers at the time. Food was simple but good and well priced.

A couple of years ago, we had a great experience at this chip shop, so on our final night away with family, we decided to return for fish and chips. Unfortunately, this visit was a major disappointment, especially due to the lack of accommodation for dietary restrictions. My son is dairy-free, and my wife is both gluten- and dairy-free. Upon ordering, I asked if the batter was dairy-free, hoping for at least one option for them. The response? A curt “everything contains dairy.” There were no alternatives offered, no suggestions, and no empathy from the staff. Imagine my frustration when I got home, reviewed the photo I’d taken of the ingredients for the chicken nuggets, and discovered—after translating them into English—that they did not actually contain dairy. It was clear the staff either didn’t know their own menu or couldn’t be bothered to provide accurate information. It’s 2025—many establishments are proactive in catering to dietary needs, but this chip shop seems stuck in the past. A bit of effort or care would have gone a long way, but neither was evident. If you’re looking for a traditional fish and chip experience and don’t have any dietary concerns, this place might be fine. But for anyone with dietary restrictions, I’d recommend looking elsewhere to avoid the frustration.

Lovely carvery. Staff amazingly friendly. Plenty of space between tables. Very varied menu. Worth a visit when in Dereham
