The best restaurants in North Norfolk East of England

I organised a day out on the broads for my partners birthday, after booking the boat, I was recommended Vic @ The Steam Room to arrange a picnic basket. Well what a recommendation that was. Vic was very helpful over the phone organising it all and explaining the numerous choices we could have. On the day, he was very friendly and swiftly prepared our feast and provided everything we had ordered for our day ahead. Homemade sandwiches, homemade sausage rolls (may I state some of the best I’ve ever had), fresh fruit, fresh donuts, crisps and finally some cold drinks. All within a loaned picnic basket to keep cool. 10/10 service, 10/10 quality of food. If you’re wanting food for your day out, or just a spot of lunch, here’s the place you should visit.

We had a cream tea ,two doggie ice creams in the courtyard delicious. Also purchased a couple of bits and pieces in the sale, make up bag and door stop. Such good value. Popped into deli tea shop further down the road more expensive but I don’t think any better. Very dog friendly could do with fresh water in the courtyard tiny niggle. I’m use they would have replaced the water if I’d asked. Love the place think it’s great would call again if ever in the area.

Great brunch as always - good food at reasonable prices plus friendly staff in Gary, Lorraine and Harriet - we go back every two weeks. I especially like the choose your own breakfast

Such lovely staff , loved listening to the cook singing along to music , the place just felt so relaxed and was nice watching the planes coming into land , definitely recommend as a stop on your bike ride

Visited before and always been happy with service and coffee. This time had cake too... most delicious lemon cake... so good went back and had another slice the next day! Coffee very good, purchased coffee beans too, to take home.

After a long walk on the beach we decided to go for a takeaway on our long drive home and it was possibly the best decision we made. Food was amazing! The portions were spot on (I’d say they are larger portions than I expected) and excellent value for money. Even the packaging was brilliant! We had the mixed grill, chicken pita and grilled halloumi. 100000% recommend. Best takeaway in Fakenham by miles!!!

We had spent some time looking for a cake and coffee stop and found this hidden gem by chance. We came quite late in the day so there was not as much choice of cake as there could have been but the rocky road we had was the best we have ever tasted. Absolutely amazing. The man who was looking after us was so friendly and made our visit very very enjoyable. Thank you

Sunday roast was fantastic. Everything cooked perfectly. Table of 10 and all came out pretty much together and beef was tender and green veg not over cooked.

Much better experience than we had with the chain coffee shop a few doors up. Staff were friendly and engaged in conversations with all the customers that entered. Lots of flavours available for your drinks. Nice hot chocolate at a good temperature. Friendly and inviting shop can't wait for them to move in to bigger premises and offer more.

Best pop-up we have had at one of our events! Excellent communication in the build-up and the team arrived early with plenty of time to prepare. Super friendly team always more than happy to help The food is of a very high standard and presented very well. Fantastic choice of menu. Ostrich burger is out of this world and the brookie desserts were talked about by all guests. Superb value for money and leftovers boxed up to take home. Definitely, be using again!

Well what can I say about this place other than amazing,we only popped in for a coffee but wish we had eaten here instead of the overpriced place we had just visited. I have never seen such excellent facilities anywhere the disabled changing with a full sized adult bed and hoist toilet with alarm, baby changing and so spotlessly clean. The staff were warm and friendly they even had a table to keep the children amused.It is a dog friendly cafe. Gluten free options and is in the main town center car park.I really cannot rate this place high enough well done amazing .If you can do it as a small concern why can't the others.

Tried a new flavour today. 10 out of 10 again. Thanks steve brilliant bloke. Happy and helpful. Definitely the only place for ice cream in Norfolk

Arrived in Holt on a Sunday and needed something quick and easy after a long drive. This place does really good pizza. It was delicious.

Tenía asado hoy absolutamente fantástico realmente sabroso realmente recomiendo la comida encantadora y el personal a casa de casa gracias xxxin el pasado tenía desayuno también huevo y patatas fritas tan bueno darles una oportunidad que no te decepcionará

These terrific gentlemen saw me struggling with two dogs,a walking stick and other paraphernalia. Not only did they bring the coffee to me, they wouldn't accept payment either.
