Well, what a find this was! It's got that greasy spoon old school cafe vibe from days gone by, but clean and without the grease! Staff are helpful and chatty but not in your face. And the prices were amazing! Highly recommend a visit. Open at 7am on a Saturday too! Hats off to this cafe.
This is as traditional British Breakfast as it gets! They say an army marches on its stomach, and stepping into Dixies early on a Thursday morning you get the sense that something is mobilising. There's a bustle, there's an energy. There's excitement and positivity. Quiet energy in abundance and jokes zinging about keeping spirits high. But this is no military on mnaueveres, but the industrious men and women of Norfolk on their way to work and finding their fuel. The full English takes centre stage here and you can tall people smash it away knowing they aren't eating again until they get home after a hard day's graft. Coffee and tea are sluiced down with smiles and plate after plate of food is delivered hot to each table. It's fast, it's friendly and it's everything the full English should be. No frills, no fuss, just full English - Forever!
Today for lunch, I had a sausage and onion pie accompanied by mash and vegetables, all washed down with a refreshing glass of orange juice at my local diner for £10.50. It had been a while since my last visit, and I realized I forgot to request my usual small amount of gravy. Despite this, I still enjoyed the meal, although the pie portion was a bit smaller than I typically expect. This diner is what I like to refer to as a workman’s café, known for its hearty portions that generally exceed those found in regular cafés. On a positive note, I managed to find a parking spot right outside the building today, which can often be a challenge during peak hours.
We popped in on a Sunday morning after a couple of nights away just north of Norwich. Dixies is a haven for anyone who wants nicely cooked traditional cafe fare. 3 choices of breakfast size plus veggie, and a great selection of lunchtime meals. There are also daily specials during the week, and crumble or pie offered as well. We had breakfast which is great value and cooked really well - choice of toasted or fried bread, and black pudding available to add for a quid. Also a good selection of smaller plates and kids dinners as well. Dixies also takes card payment which is useful if you've not got cash on you. Really worth a visit, you won't go wrong.
Visiting Norwich, searched for cafes with good reviews & opted for this place. The reviews & photos were right! We both had all day breakfast which was brilliant. Very friendly staff & locals. Most expensive meal on the menu board was, wait for it, £7! A real gem of a find, we’ll be back!
Brilliant cafe. The make a first-class cuppa and the food is always plentiful, hot and not long to get. There is a small car park but you can park on the road outside. and once you have had you fill you can nip next door for a haircut.
Cute little place, very local cafe vibes. I had the veggie breakfast and its just how my nan makes it. Not a whole lot of other veggie options mind.
Really nice food good portions, great value for money not too busy nice selection of breakfasts and sizes along with few other lunch choices
