Cafe in Norwich

“Went for our anniversary and was Not disappointed. Amazing selection on the menu. The freshly prepared croquettes were a favourite and we. couldn't say no to a grilled Turbot paired with Sangria. Could taste and smell the fresh ingredients. The service was beyond exemplary. Such lovely people own and run the restaurant. We will definitely be back! Thank you for making our anniversary meal so special.”

“Brilliant food, typical to Mark Gee and his ways. Flat Iron steak, truffle and Parmesan fries - chefs kiss. Prawn starter with garlic, also delicious.”

“The food was amazing! Such a lovely restaurant with lovely staff. Would highly recommend! :)”

“Flaming Galah provided 30 fresh handmade pies for my 40th birthday celebration & I could not fault anything. The initial contact, menu planning, collection and pies themselves were all exceptional. Everyone loved the pies, thank you!”

“The workshop cafe is an absolute treat, I’d almost go as far as saying the best place to eat in Norwich. The small dishes are delicious, flavoursome and healthy. I love that it’s focussed on a breakfast/lunch/afternoon vibe rather than selling out for evening dinners. It’s decor is vivacious, relaxed and a little bohemian. Great to see you back in full flow after the pandemic. Thanks!”

“Authentic Jerusalem street food within the city walls of Norwich. Owners are always so welcoming, very knowledgeable and proud to explain what is on their menu and to show you the special spices they import directly from Golan Heights. The falafel is lovely, soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside, in a dish it is combined with hummus of outstanding flavour. Then comes the great selection of pickles including gherkins, tiny pattypans, peppers and cabbage to name a few. Fresh salad features on the plate too, spicy sauces all add to create loads of flavour. Just sublime. Mint and lemon tea is a must to complete the authentic experience. If falafel is not your thing you can always try the chicken schnitzel, lamb, shakshuka, kofte, shawarma and Za’atar. There is always a good selection of cakes, vegan ones too. I love coming here for a healthy and tasty bite to eat.”

“Wow! What a venue!!! We had our wedding here and I couldn't recommend it more. From start to finish, all the staff exceeded any expectations and couldn't do enough for you. It's a stunning venue, lots of room for dancing and a beautiful outdoor space with veranda which is perfect for photos. They helped us every step of the way and went out of their way to make sure it was just perfect. They let us drop decor off the day before and even set it all up perfectly so we could relax in the morning. Food was amazing, generous portions and the rooms are lovely. All our guests commented on how amazing the venue is and moreover the staff - they are such a credit to the place! Couldn't recommend more Thank you Beckiee and team - you are all superstars !!!!”

“One of the finest guest house experiences I have had on my extensive travels, wonderful hosts, fantastical appointed and comfortable room, tremendous high quality and beautifully presented breakfast. Far superior to any Premier Inn or the like and better value for money as well. Highly recommend if you can gain a reservation. Tip if travelling by public transport, the bus service from the city to the guest house is excellent during the day yet stops running at around 19.00 hrs a taxi will cost you around ten pounds.”

“Lovely little place for coffee and cake and catch up with a friend. I often use this as a place to meet friends. Last time it was a bit cold weather, so we sat in one of the little sheds and they have heaters in we actually had to turn it off as it got so hot. ☺️ The food is delicious and they even catered for my egg allergy.”

“We had an amazing ploughman’s lunch today. The bread was homemade as was the coleslaw. The onions were pickled in balsamic vinegar which were delicious. I had a lovely local cheese and my husband had a local ham. The butter was free a local farm. Well worth the money. Also a very friendly pub. Very well done.”

“Really good coffee, lots of options. Exceptional vegan cakes, we had the peanut butter and the tahini chocolate ones and they were amazing. The barista (Richard) was friendly and very knowledgeable. Really great atmosphere and will definitely be back!”

“Amazing coffee and friendly service! They have a great selection of cakes and other desserts. Would recommend :)”

“Really affordable delicious freshly cooked snacks and good. Great location. Will definitely be back”

“1st time visit here and it's brilliant. Food is excellent, service great and it's a cracking little place. Plenty of seating inside and out, highly recommended. Easy to find - satnav takes you straight there. Only downside is there's not a massive amount of parking out front but I didn't have an issue on my visit.”

“Full marks for quantity. Excellent range of food at very fair prices. Caren is a cheerful soul serving tasty food.”

“We had a delicious meal here to celebrate my husband's birthday. It was Pie night and I had chicken, leek and tarragon and it was great. The staff were really kind, friendly and it was lovely to see so many customers enjoying their food.”

“Forum Coffee House is the right place to go if you want to speak with a friend while having a snack. The friendly atmosphere is great. I recommend a visit.”

“Excellent place to go to. The tea was so good that I drank the whole teapot of tea (3cups). This is unknown for me because tea shops never make good tea. Well this one does.!!!! My friend had a latte which she said was very good and we both had cheese on toast which I would recommend to everyone. The ladies who run it are extremely nice and had time to spend a couple of minutes to chat. All in all we are going to make it our regular place. Especially as the prices were so good as well.”

“Absolutely incredible coffee. Some of the best I have ever had. Lovely service, knowledgeable guy serving and making the coffee. Excellent cookies too.”

“Excellent service and great food for a very small price”

“We discovered Bella Napoli whilst holidaying in Suffolk. We were really pleased to find an authentic independent Italian restaurant and was very impressed with the extensive choice on the menu, it was very hard to pick what to go with as so many dishes I wanted to try! In the end my partner and I both opted for a pizza over pasta; he went with a pepperoni one and I went with a create your own with chicken, pepperoni, onion and basis. There was lots of toppings to choose from. When the food arrived it looked delicious and it tasted really good. There was plenty of flavour to it and the ingredients seemed really fresh, the pepperoni slices were stand out! They were both very reasonably priced too at around £10 each which is cheaper than most other pizza restaurants, even chain ones which are not as good! There were 3 sizes to choose from. The staff were friendly and the decor inside was clean and modern. We both really enjoyed our visit to Bella Napoli and really hope they will open up a restaurant in Norfolk next!”

“We visited today for the 1 hour highland cow cuddling experience. I simply cannot recommend enough! The experience itself was absolutely amazing and one I’ll never forget. The young girl (so sorry I didn’t get your name) was super friendly, knowledgeable and fantastic at her job! All of the staff here are so lovely. The cafe food & drinks are exceptional and we will certainly be back! It was super busy- so ensure you book! Thank you so much!!”

“I went while on holiday October 2025. I chose it due to the fact it was rated highly by the locals. We were not disappointed. The roast dinners are fab. Good luck if you think you can get through the larger of the 2 choices. My wife had the small, and needed help. I had a burger and it was superb, texture and quality and flavour all out of this world. If we go to anywhere in Norfolk again we'll make this one of our treats for the week. Worth travelling to.”

“This establishment is a former bank and a new Community Group have turned it into an arts venue keeping all the beautiful wood panels etc that were originally in the building! I have been here to see a stage performance where the cafe is transformed into a Theatre - Magic! I've been here to a knit and natter group but this time I came in for tea and cake with my husband! There was a lady enjoying a late lunch whilst sketching, there were another couple having lunch and another couple came in as we were leaving! There is a special board which has some tempting meals on it. A very special unique place in the centre of a dear little town!”

“This is an absolute gem of a pub. The food was delicious, the staff were very friendly and accommodating despite us having to change the booking twice. The desserts were especially good. It is also in a gorgeous location, we will return again in future.”
