The best restaurants in North Norfolk East of England

We have just been for our first Sunday Lunch at the Olive Tree Bistro, wow!, what a feast. Lovely warm welcome, nice comfortable surroundings, excellent freshly cooked food. I had the Turkey and my Wife the Beef, came on a very hot plate with perfect Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, stuffing and gravy, plus lots of meat. Vegetables served separately in dish, 4 different veg plus cauliflower cheese and extra jug of gravy. We could not quite manage it all, just had a coffee afterwards. We came away feeling like we had eaten a very good well cooked meal. Definitely recommended and will return. Must add that all the Staff were lovely and welcoming.

What a lovely little place! We were staying in the area with no clue on where to eat. The place we were staying in had left a few takeaway leaflets and we saw that this place had a restaurant. We never would have found this place if we hadn't seen the leaflets. The restaurant was small but welcoming with a very good selection on vegan ( and regular ) dishes. Very friendly helpful staff. Lovely food. Overall a very nice experience. We hope to come back one day

Great warm baguettes. I would recommend them to anyone! Cueing out of the door for a reason! Brilliant for lunch on a cold or hot day as cold food offered too.

We found this pub on August bank holiday, we just had a drink and chips, lovely place, friendly staff, so told friends we needed to visit. Sunday lunch 27/10/24, absolutely lovely, ice cream to die for, crème brullee huge, all sauces brought to table without having to ask ( not sachets ), 5 star dining, staff excellent.

The restaurant is small and sparsely decorated but the food was truly delicious- there was not one thing that I tasted there that wasn’t excellent- I don’t live far and will try the take away menu on another occasion- but would highly recommend

Great lil cage in a beautiful setting.

We had an ice-cream and sat at one of the little tables overlooking the swimmers in the sea. It was idyllic. It was clear that whoever runs this place takes a lot of care eg there was a pretty butterfly figurine in the lavender pot on each table - a small touch but it tells you something. Lovely place. Highly recommended.

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.

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.

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

Live in Holt but never visited this establishment before. Very welcoming, delicious coffee and dog friendly with a dog biscuit for each of our 3 dogs. Will definitely be returning.

A very nice hot chocolate and brownie with friendly staff :) Peaceful experience and very clean! Gluten free options available

Best latte we’ve ever had. Creamy, with great coffee taste. Interesting selection of foods, cards, books & more. Lovely outlook.

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
