Priory Maze Cafe in Norwich

We have only just discovered this cafe and we have enjoyed meeting various friends here over the summer. If we want to meet old friends holidaying in the area this is an ideal place to meet them: on the main road, well labelled, plenty of parking, and of course lovely food. The staff are helpful and patient, e.g. with a group of ten, wanting coffee, then being enticed by specials to stay on for lunch, and all of us indecisive people. They are thoughtful as I arrive with my wheelchair, and move a chair out of the way so that I can sit at the table. A small gesture but it is lovely not to have to ask.

Limited menu and what they did have was limited. No Tuna melt and no tomatoes. The only thing that really appealed to me was the Sausage, Egg and Bacon Sandwich. Unfortunately you're not allowed them after 11.30.

Not a huge menu- but I’m my opinion I would rather that because I know everything is fresh. Me and my 3 friends had a variety of food ranging from panini’s to crab salad to lasagne. Everything was delicious and clearly freshly made. The garden we ate in is just so relaxing and lovely. Inside the cafe is really tastefully decorated and staff were very welcoming. We loved it so much we went back for breakfast the next day, and the following day for coffee and cakes! It will be a regular place to visit when we’re back in Sherringham.

So disappointing, this place used to be amazing! There is very limited choice now. My husband had the quiche with chips supposed to be Brie and sun dried tomatoes, it wasn’t. He said it was the worst quiche he had tried, chips were siggg and Luke warm. I had ham salad, far too much red opinion for me it was ver underwhelming, no coleslaw or anything to make it interesting. Not good quality for the price. It was our first visit for a while and we won’t be returning.

Have been on numerous previous occasions and have really enjoyed it. Shocked at the reduced menu options. Only item listed as vegan was a sausage roll. Was told if I wanted a meal they could put some chips with it. However as the other options for members of my party were so uninspiring - they no longer do burgers at all - we took our business elsewhere

We have always rated this place, but this visit last summer proved disapointing menu much much reduced not the choices we expected. As we only go in the summer ,hoping for a return to good times.

First time we had visited but not the last. Welcoming staff and good food. The ambiance was good but because the weather we did not go out to the garden area which looked great as well.

Four of us had lunch here and drinks and desserts everything was really lovely, our food was all serviced nice and friendly and welcoming.

Was hoping for an early lunch at 11:30 before we ventured into the maze but only breakfast options and cold foods were available b4 12pm. However kids were happy with jam and toast and we had cheese and cucumber sandwiches and a slice of vegan Oreo cake. Happy to have some vegetarian options. Great service and nice and clean.

Pleasant staff, decent food for children. There is a maze and gardens very near to the location which makes it a worthwhile stop.

Since it has reopened the menu seems to be very limited. They used to do a lovely full english breakfast, now reduced to a breakfast bap for £8.00. They used to have a brilliant selection of main meals and roast on Sundays, now reduced to a selection of half a dozen meals scampi & chips, ham egg and chips, fish cake and chips etc etc. Very disappointing compared to pre covid. We tend to go elsewhere now.

We stopped here for lunch and we weren't disappointed delicious crab sandwiches and the cakes looked good to, my husband said the coffee was good. Lots room to eat outside, we will go back when we are next in the area.They were very busy but we didn't mind waiting the weather was good and there were lovely views across the gardens.

An unfortunate visit to The Priory Cafe in Sheringham. Coffee was just warm. Cakes were poor and overpriced. Service was very slow. Such a same as it was good last time we visited. Won't be returning.

Went here for Sunday lunch, didnt do it! Ordered an Americano and soy milk, as I am lactose intolerant. Waitress took our order, brought my coffee, soy milk didnt look like soy milk. Had drunk half my coffee, another waitress came over, said to her was it soy milk and she said that they didnt have any! Awful, suffering now! Ordered fishcakes, sea bass, love sea bass, waitress came over and said that it was cod not sea bass, worst fishcakes I have ever tasted, had an outer casing on them that was solid, badly cooked. They were expensive anyway! Came to pay, charged for my coffee, which I only had half of as I thought that it was not soy milk and it was expensive. Waitress only apologised for the mistake over the soy milk, nobody seemed to know anything about lactose intolerance. Real shame, we have been there many times and it has always been excellent, standards are clearly dropping in the Covid crisis.

The BEST burger my partner has ever eaten, apparently! Friendly staff, very accommodating and good prices. Definitely worth stopping here for lunch!

Always good service, good selection of food for meals or just a snack and reasonable prices. Good value for money.

Enjoyed a leisurely Sunday Brunch here with friends. I had a vegetarian breakfast, the others, traditional English and the other in our party ordered something that was not on the menu, which they were happy to make for her. We all enjoyed our food and the waitress was friendly and helpful.

My wife and I often find the time to have lunch at least once here when we stay in the area. Lovely traditional dishes and tempting treats......can get very busy though at peak times!

This visit was arranged by our local Oddfellows group. Following coffee at 11am. Our lunch was served promptly. Bearing in mind the number of us (17) we understood the need for pre-ordering. The cafe was busy with all lunch tables booked in advance.The food was well presented and the staff friendly & efficient. We were delighted with the venue & will certainly return. /we should have known how good it would be, as we had previously had a delicious cream tea here.

This place is a little gem, the gardens are real delight. The planting is well thought out and full of colours and textures. The café is a really good place to eat and drink. The menu is varied and a treat for the palette. Pricing is reasonable and the staff are very friendly without being intrusive. Highly recommended.

Visit here fairly often, especially on a nice sunny day as the gardens are very relaxing to sit with a cuppa. very nice scenery and a great menu, they used to have breaded mushrooms on the menu which were the best ever! however, they have since changed the menu and no longer serve them - which is a tad disappointing. Still a great little place though.

We both had a really lovely steak lasagne meal. The service was very good well organised and with a smile. We find this every time we visited this establishment. As we have done over many years

This is a nice place and food is good. Staff are all very nice but they are not efficient and not enough of them. This particular visit was on a hot day and the place was full and outside pretty busy too. We had booked and they put the wrong time on the booking. This could so easily be excellent but the service is poor. Still waiting 20 minutes or more for a drink and placing orders for our lunch. So if the owners are reading this please sharpen your pencil and sort it out. You are nearly there!

We were visiting family in Cromer and a table for seven was booked for lunch @ 13.00 hours. The menu offers a reasonable choice of dishes and i chose the salmon and shrimp pasta for my mains followed by 2 scoops of mint choc ice cream. The pasta dish was very tasty indeed and had just the right heat from the chillies and the portion was so filling that I could not finish all of my sweet. The service was very good and there is a nice atmosphere within the wooden buiding. We shall certainly like to return again when we are next up this way.

This is a very popular cafe for a cooked lunch and indoor tables are often booked. There is quite a lot of attractive outdoor seating in nice calming surroundings.The menu has a good choice of cooked foods and salads. There is a good selection of cakes. Coffee o.k.Plants for sale in the garden area, and a garden and maze to visit with a entry fee.

It took 25 minutes to receive our order of a coffee and an Elderflower water. There didn't appear to be a system and it was chaotic. Very noisy inside and hot. However outside there are comfortable sofas and beautiful surroundings.

We were looking for somewhere to have lunch whilst on holiday in Norfolk. We spotted this cafe as we drove past and turned round to see what it was like. It was Sunday lunch and very busy, so we had to sit in the garden, fortunately it stayed fine. I had the Sunday lunch and my husband had red onion tart. Both were delicious. Well cooked and nicely presented. Service was a bit slow but they were very busy and we were on holiday so!!! Dogs are only accepted under the veranda or outside.

Was driving past and saw the signs Saturday evening so we popped in Sunday to visit the gardens and wow we were not disappointed! The gardens are beautiful. We then had a coffee and a snack and were not disappointed. The staff were so friendly. I can’t believe we haven’t spotted this place before. Also lovely plants for sale

My first visit to priory maze and gardens for at least 10 years, and I was delighted by how improved it was.

We have used this place many times. Handy for a lunch stop when taking elderly parents to Cromer hospital.

We booked to come here as there were alot of us and it always gets busy here.

Went with my parents to Priory Maze for a late coffee. Coffee excellent and the sausage rolls were very meaty and a delight ( seems to be my go to at the moment!) .

Very busy lunchtime but always a good sign! Warned that food serving could take 25 minutes(good) but on holiday so no matter! chose salad as it was a warm day but they had a good choice on the menu, and specials. Partner chose the crab(Cromer of course!) and said best she ever had. Good find for a meal while travelling in the area.

Wonderful place for lunch, or for a mid morning coffee and scone. Fabulous homemade treats, friendly service and reasonable prices.

We have often passed this café (seen the noticeboard from the road) but until recently we have always driven past ….. we have stopped here for lunch now twice and have not been disappointed. It can be very busy and lots of tables are 'booked' but we have always been lucky and found a table. It is like sitting inside a 'large log cabin'. Staff are always friendly and give good service and the food is very good. We had homemade soup for our lunch and I can honestly say it was the best soup I have ever tasted!! The people next to our table ordered hot food and it looked lovely with a side order of onion rings the size of which I have never seen!!! They looked delicious.

We had lunch here on a Saturday in January and were pleased that we had booked - it was busy. There was a good selection of hot meals, we enjoyed the cottage pie with seasonal vegetables. There were also plenty of light lunches to chose from and a good selection of drinks.

Called today looking for breakfast, not disappointed. Really good Full English, well cooked and presented and including toast, yay. Staff really pleasant and helpful and a decent cup of tea. Competitively priced at £7.95, you cant go wrong, just the ticket for a wet Autumn Sunday morning

In all the years we have visited Norfolk we had never visited the café here. We hadn't booked and it was busy but we were found a table by one of the very friendly staff. We ordered our lunch and in no time we were being served. The lunch was excellent and very reasonably priced. It is definitely on our list from now on.

Visited around 3.20pm on a Friday afternoon. Looked at the menu and wanted to order a Cheese and tomato sandwich and a cheese, onion, tomato panini. Was told there was no hot food after 3pm - OK so 2 cheese and tomato sandwiches - waitress who was very sweet went away to ask about the sandwiches - no sandwiches either - all we could have was cake or scones which we did not want. So we just had a tea and water. I can understand them not doing main meals after 3 as they shut at 4 - but a sandwich!!! The waitress was very apologetic again and again, bless her. So if you want anything that is not a cake don't go after 3pm

We visited twice while on holiday in Holt and we weren’t disappointed. We had an elderly lady in a wheelchair and baby, nothing was too much trouble and we felt very welcome. The staff were so friendly and helpful, they were so obliging with any requests we had and we felt all staff went out of their way to make sure we had a pleasurable visit on both occasions. The breakfast was delicious, generous portions and very good value. Good coffee too. Would love to visit again and would recommend the coffee shop to anyone.

Lovely Cafe serving excellent tea and coffee as well as really good meals. Sit inside if the weather is inclement, or as we did - sit outside on comfy furniture in the sunshine. Well worth a visit as it has excellent parking, or if on foot, it is easy to reach being just outside Sheringham.

We popped into Priory Maze Cafe for lunch after recommendation by a family member and we were not disappointed! Friendly and helpful staff a lovely area to dine outside and great food.

A lovely little tea room with glorious outside seating area and excellent parking. A real treat with speciality coffees and amazing scones and cakes.

I visit Sheringham every month and had heard that this cafe was worth a visit. I visited for lunch taking an elderly lady on her birthday. Fabulous attention to detail when I made the reservation, given that I explained that my guest had serious mobility difficulties. We arrived and were warmly greeted. We both ordered the crab salad. Just the best crab I have ever eaten. So fresh. Beautiful food and nicely served. Nice people working there and the atmosphere was lovely. I would have given 5 starts except for the one small, yet very annoying aspect. While the staff were making drinks they would pour out a drink from a glass bottle and then throw the empty glass bottle into a large bin. There was a constant clunk, clunk sound which seriously interfered with conversation. This would be very easy to solve. Believe me this was really loud and very annoying. That being said the food was great. Other diners food looked great too and portion sizes were generous. So to the management of the cafe please attend to this point. A real find and would highly suggest you give it a try if you are in the area.

Ate in here last week after walking round the gardens. The menu was varied, food was very good and not overpriced. All the young staff were extremely pleasant and helpful.

Met some friends for coffee and two of us stayed on for lunch. We had the veggie burger, chips and salad and it was very good without too long a wait. Service good and friendly. We sat on the veranda and had a nice view of the garden. Dogs allowed outside.

My husband and I visited last Tuesday and sat outside in the garden. We ate excellent crab sandwiches and large bowls of delicious ice cream. It was busy but we were not kept waiting and served quickly and efficiently. We will certainly visit again when we are in Norfolk.

Left my husband there, as he has back problems. Lovely cafe spacious,spotless. great smoothie coffee, and tea. Not far from car park. Seemed to be busy wih locals always a good sign. Friendly staff too.I did collect him after a mooch around the charity shops.

We decided to pop in here on our way back to Sheringham from Cromer. The gardens are lovely to sit out in but as it was extremely hot and sunny we chose the only table left with an umbrella. Once we'd sat down this umbrella started spinning round and hitting me on the back of the head, when I asked a member of staff if it could be secured she said she was sorry but she didn't know how to! Fortunately my husband was able to fix it. We ordered 2 pieces of lemon cake, a latte and a weak cappuccino with no sprinkles. the young lady that had taken our order came back out to us to say only 1 piece of lemon cake left would we choose something else? We did but when the tray came out it had 2 pieces of lemon cake and a cappuccino with sprinkles!! The coffee was changed but wasn't weak and I couldn't drink it, the cake though was light and fluffy and most enjoyable. The service is slow and seems very disorganised each time we've been.

Nice little place but get a quite busy and crowded not much room between tables and not great if you have a pushchair or a walker/wheelchair to get through.

Not been here for over 12 months and pleased to report the food and surroundings are still very good. Good standard menu with specials and all reasonably priced

The cafe has been highly recommended by friends but the menu- just fried pub grub and sandwiches! I ended up with fish and chips which has a bone in and the fish was all mushy! Wasn’t too impressed

Our second visit and we'll return . We sat outside on a sunny day . The food is just right . Food delivered in a reasonable time, about twenty minutes. Staff pleasant . Well done ! .

We went here on Sunday and sat outside . The waitress came and took our order and then disappeared. Then we waited and waited and waited and no coffee no food . After half an hour we asked the waitress where is our coffee she said what did you order ! We left . The place has the worst service ever and seems to be staffed by teenagers who do not have a clue what they are doing. we shall not be returning !

Food is generally very good and no complaints on pricing but waited 50 mins for our meal to arrive. Ruined our day out. Should have been warned so we could go elsewhere. Also specifically asked for no onion on salad but it was on there anyway. Suggest you avoid this cafe if you have food intolerences or any food allergies.

Visited with family, didn't expect much of such a small place but the food was delicious! I had the steak ciabatta which was lovely. Service was a bit slow but we had plenty of time. Would definitely recommend and would visit again.

This is the second time that we have stopped here for lunch on the way to see my Brother. The staff are delightful, and efficient. The food is well presented and generous. The setting is relaxing, just a little noisey sometimes with the music--really unnecessary to have any at all with all of the conversations bustling along. well worth booking a table as it deservedly popular. Check out their winter & summer opening times on line.

Look no further when wanting something a little different , especially along the coastal path, excellent place to meet friends or wander alone in the gardens and treat yourself to some tasty refreshments.

Very tasty ,well above expectation, Xmas lunch.5 fresh vegetables nicely cooked ,chipolata in bacon, tasty stuffing, good Yorkshire, quick friendly service, clean pleasant cafe. Reasonably priced. Well worth a visit.

Visited while on holidays in the U.K. visiting our daughter who lives in Cromer, we went there on her recommendation (she had been before) lovely location good food & friendly staff.

We noticed the Priory Maze attraction whilst travelling from Sheringham to Blakeney and decided to visit the cafe for a snack. Warm welcome, pleasant surroundings and friendly staff. The dishes we chose was plentiful, delicious and very good value. Really enjoyed all aspects of this unpretentious cafe and would definitely revisit when next in the area.

We visited twice while on holiday in Holt. Both times the staff were so friendly and helpful. We had a baby in a pram and elderly lady in a wheelchair, they were so obliging with any requests we had and we felt all staff went out of their way to make sure we had a pleasurable visit on both occasions. The breakfast was delicious and very good value. Good coffee too. Would love to visit again and would recommend the coffee shop to anyone.

We visited for lunch with two friends one of which is vegetarian and could not fault anything. The service was excellent with helpful & friendly staff. Our vegetarian friend had plenty to choose from as did we. Lovely tasty food, will certainly be going again.

Not sure what to expect but discovered a little gem. The cafe itself is set within acres of rediscovered gardens including the Priory Maze which is great fun. There is a small area where plants can be purchased and the gardens are a lovely quiet retreat. The cafe has a good menu choice for snacking or more substantial needs and staff are very helpful. Parking is easy. There is an admission fee of £6 to enter the gardens but access to the cafe is free. We enjoyed a full afternoon here.

Friendly efficient staff, good food served quickly At a reasonable price. Inside and outside seating

Just visited Priory Maze usually a good meal this time we sat down the restaurant was busy the staff were serving other tables but it was as if we were invisible we waited to be served or even make eye contact with the waitress to no avail by this time we were extremely fed up so after at least 15 minutes we decided to leave I don't think the staff even knew we were there let along leaving the restaurant we go here quite regularly don't know if we will bother again bitterly dissatisfied don't go if they are busy as you won't getserved

Esto es un lugar encantador y sin pretensiones, con excelente comida y ambiente a precios razonables. Comí una ensalada de cangrejo, que era preciosa.

Clean, comfy and airy, with outdoor seating as well, As we only had drinks, it would be unfair to say more, but everything looked very appetizing

The food was excellant. We had lunch there twice. Good variety on the menu including vegaterian meals.Service was prompt . The staff were very welcoming and polite. Can certainly recommend.

We booked a table for six for Sunday lunch to arrive and find there was no roasts at all on the menu! We re-read the menu to then ask for pies (for some of us) be again be told there were none available. It would be good to be told all this upon arrival, not after deliberating! Constantly had to move our chair to accommodate wheelchair users whilst the staff looked on. Warm beer as well!

Very nice little venue, main area got for disabled. nice food nice potions - perfect for mum and dad - i maybe would have liked mine a fraction bigger, but i do not think i am the target market :-) Satisfied and would come again. May try the breakfast

A lovely lunch in the garden, sea bass with prawn and caper butter, new potatoes and veg followed by chocolate cheesecake. Staff as usual friendly and helpful. It always seems peaceful in the garden but cosy inside in winter. Really good value and often something a bit different. Happy to recommend it.

We stopped here for lunch having failed to be tempted by anything in Sheringham town centre and combined it with a visit to the gardens. The outside seating area is a lovely setting with the garden as a backdrop and comfortable rattan seating. There's also a covered terrace in case of rain. We ordered the home made lasagne which was excellent and very reasonable. The caramel apple pie was good too.You can also get a snack lunch and eat here without paying to enter the garden.

Another fantastic breakfast, tasty food, good service. Clean dining area, friendly staff and hot, tasty food. Back again soon.

The surroundings were excellent like wise the food. Sadly extremely slow service. Not just the food preparation but actually getting our orders taken. To get a dessert we had to actually ask a waitress to serve us. The staff were working very hard and were great but just couldn't cope with the volume of visitors. The food was well presented and very hot and tasty.

Went on a lovely sunny day and it was a nice place to eat outdoors. My husband was happy with his baguette, but my tuna sandwich was awful. The tuna was dumped in the middle and the bread was all curled underneath itself. To be fair I could have complained, but chose to remake the sandwich myself as the waitress was sweet and I didn't want her to feel bad. It just had the feel of a, literally, thrown together sandwich.Like the gardens themselves - some bits very nice, some rubbish.

Great place to relax and unwind and have a spot of afternoon tea.Excellent service too.A great find, along the A149, east of Sheringham.

This is our 'go to' place every time we visit North Norfolk. We love relaxing in the garden area on the rattan sofas, drinking coffee, with a treat in the side, either buttered,toasted tea cake or scone. Meals are good too. There are lovely gardens to explore if you want, and a small garden centre offering plants and pots. A nice place to while away a couple of hours.

Probably the best Cheese and Ham panini i have ever had....the ham was off the bone and gorgeous....it was served with a portion of chips and homemade coleslaw.Would recommend this lovely little place to anyone without hesitation...pity the weather wasn't nicer as would love to have sat outside on the sofas!

Visited on Bank Holiday Monday with friends for morning coffee. We had between us black coffees and hot chocolate.The hot chocolate was really delicious. The cheese scones were large and full of flavour. The toasted tea cake was also a good size .All were served warm.We had a good experience in the café apart from the intruding volume of the 'music' being played.Young staff were very attentive.

Staff all very friendly... just had a fantastic 'home cooked' Christmas dinner! You may have to wait for your food but that's because it is cooked to order.

Has a good selection of food, very friendly staff and lovely location. There is indoor and outdoor seating but if you want indoor then booking is recommended. We all had a different meal that we all enjoyed.

Dropped in for a sandwich and coffeeNice little cabin cafeGood choice on the menu for sandwiches and full plate optionsThe maze is an interesting extra during the summerOpened 1st April

8 of us went on Sunday for Xmas lunchVery disappointed with the mealPleanty of food but when it arrived the plates were coldAnd the food was warm We then went to order sweets And only one choice of sweets were left out of four It wasent as if there were over busy And we had pre booked our table Would not be returning in the near future

You'll find the cafe at the Priory Maze & Gardens, adjacent to the ruins of the Beeston Regis Priory. The cafe has a good selection of food & drinks as well as offering outdoors and indoors seating. If you want to access the maze and gardens themselves then you'll need to pay the entry fee here in the cafe. The Cafe also has exhibitions of art from local artists.

They do some lovely lunches but it does get rather busy, even in the winter months.I would advise booking. I saw several people turned away when I was enjoying my lunch. The food and service was excellent.

Lovely surroundings, good food, pleasant staff, lots of choice and plenty of seating both inside and outside. Reasonably priced too. We had the Crab Mornay and it was delicious, coffee was nice and good size,I would definitely go there again if I were in the area. You don't need to go around the gardens, (they were beautiful) to use the Cafe. My only gripe is frozen chips, I would have expected freshly cooked chips from local potatoes but all in all, a very pleasant experience I would be happy to repeat.

We stopped for lunch here and was pleasantly surprised with the service and the food. I had a very nice Brie, bacon and cranberry baguette which was served with some coleslaw and chips, and a good sized cappuccino. The service was quick and very friendly. Overall would recommend.

We often call in here for lunch with the grandkids. Always plenty to choose from so no moans from the urchins. Good selection for adults too and it all appears to be fresh & home made. Loads of outside seating although some is not shaded. Inside is always clean and the service always friendly and efficient.Never a problem to get parked so this is often the easy option when deciding where to eat lunch with the kids.Prices good too.

We had booked meals for 14 of us there was a bit of a wait as one or two members late, but the meals when they arrived were more than generous and delicious. All if us were very pleased and will visit again. Adam The Manager was friendly and efficient and the staff were very good too. There is a decent toilet for disabled which is one of the reasons for booking. A very busy popular place to visit so advisable to book if you can and there are a few of you. Pre orders for more than 10.

Had a great lunch at The Priory Maze Cafe today. We pre-booked a table as we know it can get very busy but there was still plenty of seats outside should you just want to turn up. The service was very good even though there was a very large party in the Cafe. Food arrived within 20 minutes and was very hot and visually pleasing. I opted for the Veggie Burger (I have added a picture) but there is plenty to choose from including Panini's, Baguettes and Jacket Potatoes aswell as a selection of hot meals. It is quite expensive but definitely worth it. The Cafe itself had seating inside/outside aswell as benches and garden sofas in the garden. Did not use the toilet facilities so cannot comment on them but they are near the entrance of the Cafe. All in all a great lunch out!

Had a lovely lunch with parents and husband. Something suitable for everyone including a wide range of gluten free options. Meal was in my opinion reasonably priced. We had to wait for our food but happy to do so as all prepared fresh to order

Beautiful location and certainly kills a couple of hours for the kids.I come here a lot and have for several years. I often find the wait excessive, however the food is generally very good and the staff are polite.To improve the feedback a more speedy supply of drinks will definitely help. We understand that at busy times the kitchen will slow somewhat but there is no excuse for an often interminable wait for drinks and refills during these long waits.

I have visited this Tearoom a number of times. On my recent visit which they were extremely busy. When I arrived the waiter explained that there would be a long wait for our meal. We said we would order and wait. The meal as always was very good and value for money. They also had local Cromer crab on the menu. The menu has a wide variety of dishes to satisfy most tastes. The waiting staff were very good and efficient. It is well worth a visit

Called in today with my family prior to my sons 21st birthday as he is going on holiday with my ex-wife. I had the fish cakes, full of flavour and generous in portion size. My son had the burger and normally he can eat for England but he struggled and could not eat it all, the onion rings tasted more of fish than onion so I'm guessing they were fried in the same fryer that gets used to fry the fish and were not very pleasant to eat. My mother asked if they could do a crab salad (not on the menu) which they willingly did for her. When it arrived all the vegetables were cold but mother assumed this to be normal for a salad, but, is it? When we saw all the other finished meals plates being taken back there seemed so much left on there, could it be down to too much being put on the plates and not enough portion control in place?

Really enjoyed our trip, 2 children in tow, aged 9 and 5. Both enjoyed exploring the gardens and maze. Ponding dipping was fun! Cafe garden was nice and relaxed atmosphere. Staff friendly. Reason for for giving 5 stars was there was no menu/price list/indication of what was available and at 3pm there was barely any choice left.

We as a family of grandparents, parents and grandchildren had lunch here. We had sandwiches which come with chips and coleslaw. They were very good. The service from very young girls was excellent. We were fortunate to be able to sit outside in the lovely garden attached to the Cafe. Not the Priory gardens separate review.

So spent plenty of time in the maze going round and round but my daughter enjoyed it plenty of things to and excellent cafe producing top quality food when u see the cafe you will be very surprised what comes out of it

This is a nice all round experience. The tearoom is very nice and also there is a maze with very beautiful gardens. There are tables outside and inside, we just had coffee and cake and it was nice. We always visit here while on holiday in Sheringham and shall visit again next year

Even though there was a wait on food (told to us as soon as we got in the door), the staff were very accommodating and the food was excellent when served. The food and drinks are reasonably priced and the setting is beautiful. Having said this, it seemed to me that the staff were rushed off their feet with the amount of work they had to do. Heard a few complaints from other customers and even saw one having a go at a member of staff! I believe that the management should not allow young girls to be treated so badly when they all seemed to be doing the best they could. Would definitely come again but I do hope the next time we do come that there are more members of staff as there are too many tables for only 5 waitresses - one of which was making the hot drinks.
