Disappointed with gardens, very few flowers and the ponds were covered in green algae. Food in cafe was great but we came at a busy time so had a long wait!! The staff were friendly & apologetic. Courtyards contained some interesting crafts and artwork.
Lovely place, but unfortunately the "cheese scones" were the least cheesy I have tasted. Only the crisp item on the top had any taste at all. Otherwise nice coffee but disappointing scone.
Went to the cafe, really busy, staff working their socks off, but doing it with a smile and customer service was impeccable. There was passion for exceptional service and I left thinking, I'll absolutely return. Sausage rolls were pretty awesome too - just saying!
Just wanted to say a MASSIVEthank you to you and all your staff at the Artisan coffee shop this morning. What a fabulous experience. Albeit very busy due to Christmas fare. Everyone had a smile Everyone was cheerful and very accommodating. Your cheese scones were amazing never seen the likes before. Keep on doing what your doing. Highly recommended.
I went for lunch last time I was back in Norfolk which was delicious so met a friend for breakfast today. She had never been before and was very impressed by the food. Her Vegetarian breakfast and my Breakfast stack were really tasty. Staff are lovely, lots of parking and some nice crafts
This is the second time we have visited this place over the past 5 years and both times the cafe has been open and one shop but almost everything else is closed. We arrived at 11.30 today. According to website and signage all should be open… 2 shops and that was it … feel cheated when a website advertises something that isn’t as said when we arrive. And with a 50 minute drive each way we won’t be bothering again. !
Delicious cakes. I had a hot drink called ' London Fog'. Its Earl Grey tea with steamed milk and a vanilla shot. Perfect with a slice of Victoria sponge.
What a lovely place to come across especially on a rainy autumn day. A good variety of crafts from local artists all beautifully displayed in a series of small workshops. There is also a great cafe serving a variety of food and drinks in a lovely setting. All of the staff were really pleasant and helpful and showed good knowledge of the artisans concerned in producing the crafts on offer. Definitely a place to return to.
. Great for a visit for a couple of hours. Small complex of workshops /shops / cafe and gardens. Good coffee and scones. Wider menu available
