Deepdale Café
Deepdale Café.
Main Road, Burnham Deepdale, Norfolk, PE31 8DD.
Tel: 01485 211055.
An extremely popular haunt for locals, campers, walkers and holidaymakers alike, Deepdale Café successfully combines the relaxed, but high quality vibe reminiscent of a Parisian Café with the cool appeal of a beach-side coffee bar. In fact, Deepdale Café has so much going for it that while we could detail it all here, we wouldn’t want to spoil the delightful surprise you’ll get from actually going along. You’ll just have to visit to discover all the reasons it is so highly regarded.
Situated on the A149 coast road between Burnham Overy Staithe and Brancaster Staithe, among a well thought-out cluster of interesting businesses on the ‘Dalegate Market’ site, the Café is perfectly positioned for refreshment when exploring the North Norfolk coast or surrounding villages such as the Burnhams.
The Café offers a more than adequate selection of coffees, teas, juices and soft drinks. Being fully licensed, you can relax with a local Beer or Cider, or a wine or beer from further a field.
Food is cooked to order (no microwave!) from lots of lovely local produce, and portions are reasonably priced and plentiful. There are options for breakfast, lunch and throughout the day (including veggie, children’s and gluten-free options).
The carefully constructed menu includes sandwiches and snacks as well as more substantial meals, and there are lots of regularly changing Specials to choose from. If you can’t eat in, try the ‘Grab Food’ option – takeaway food prepared in the Café (a bit of Deepdale to take home or back to your holiday accommodation – marvellous). A ‘Grab Bag’ is ideal for taking along to the beach.
Ideal for families, couples, the young and old, Deepdale Café is a fabulous, unpretentious place to meet, relax and recharge that is bound to please even the choosiest diner.
Open daily 7am-4pm (7.3am-7.30pm in holidays and high days).

Situated on the A149 coast road at Brancaster Staithe, The Jolly Sailors is a long-established North Norfolk pub, updated by the same owners as the nearby White Horse. It offers great food and ales at good value prices and is very family friendly.
Housed in a white painted façade with blue door and windowsills that you can’t miss, the inside of The Jolly Sailors is rustic and warm, with plenty of wood and stone. It is also smart and cared-for, giving it an appealing vibe that elevates it to a higher-than-average-quality traditional eating pub.
The bar offers a wide selection of real ales and guest beers. Being the associated pub of the independent, family-owned Brancaster Brewery, The Jolly Sailors has many of this breweries’ ales on tap. View tasting notes and a Brief History of the Brancaster Brewery.
If ale isn’t your thing, there is a comprehensive wine list, with choices by the bottle and glass and there’s always a good cup of tea or coffee on the brew.
Outside is a large, leafy beer garden for warmer days with an adventure play area that would occupy even the most energetic child.
Food-wise, you’ll find home cooked pub food (including a plethora of local seafood) as well as delicious stone baked pizza (an unusual twist) that you can eat in or takeaway. Perfect if you’re holidaying nearby. There’s a Children’s Menu, a Daily Specials board and lighter options for lunch.
A sign outside reads “Children, muddy boots and dogs welcome” and this pretty much sums The Jolly Sailors up. Unpretentious and open to all, it has been providing warm hospitality to friends and strangers since the 18th Century. Still true to its traditional roots, it is also firmly 21st Century, focusing on good quality food, drink and service. Among other publications of note, The Jolly Sailors is featured in the Michelin Eating Out Pubs Guide 2011 and The Good Pub Guide 2011. Rightly so.

The Corner House Tea & Coffee Lounge
The Corner House Tea & Coffee Lounge.
2-4 Cromer Road, Mundesley, Norfolk, NR11 8BE.
Tel: 01263 720509.
If a great Café or Coffee Shop mean good coffee, a friendly, relaxing atmosphere and great cake to you (but no greasy fry ups!), then The Corner House Tea & Coffee Lounge in Mundesley is for you.
Opened in October 2011, The Corner House café is situated near to the seafront in this lovely Norfolk seaside village (Mundesley has a great beach). Moreover it really serves as the heart of the village for social gatherings and passing the time of day.
Styling inside is eclectic with elements of rustic charm, French Café culture and a nod to tearooms of yesteryear with real tablecloths and china tableware, cake stands and pretty china teapots.
The Café serves various types of real coffee with authentic French flavouring syrups for a real continental twist. Our personal favourite is The Corner House’s Speciality Lattes (which include Gingerbread and Crème Brulee). You’ll also find a vast choice of Teas (including Whittard flavoured and herbal teas), Hot Chocolate and refreshing cold soft drinks.
Sustenance-wise, The Corner House offers tasty and imaginative breakfasts, snacks and light lunches, as well as mouthwatering cakes. Much is locally sourced or produced. We like the ‘Bronte Dunking Biscuits’ – how quintessentially English!
If you’re in need of real indulgence, treat yourself to Afternoon Tea or Cream Tea (with clotted cream, naturally).
As we’ve already mentioned, The Corner House is friendly and welcoming to all. There are provisions for children and dogs are also welcome. A sign on the dresser reads ‘Enter as strangers, leave as friends’ and this basically sums up The Corner House Tea & Coffee Lounge. (Although perhaps it should read ‘well fed and watered friends’, to be absolutely accurate).
Eat in and take away service available.
Open Mon – Sat 9.30am-4.30pm, Sunday 10am-3pm.
The Jetty Café
The Jetty Café.
11 High Street, Cromer, Norfolk, NR27 0AB.
Tel: 01263 513814.
When Owners Louise and Dave were removing the old sign for what is now their Jetty Café, they discovered the remains of an original 1960s sign for the ‘Jetty Espresso Bar’. Strangely they had no idea it used to be a ‘Jetty Café’ in a previous life. Surely a good omen for this fabulous new Café and Coffee Shop?
The Jetty Café, situated just off the High Street in the centre of Cromer, is dedicated to offering a warm, friendly environment and great homemade food prepared from as much local produce as possible. Fresh, modern and very clean inside, the Café welcomes families with children (highchairs available).
Enjoy a tasty, light Breakfast throughout the week, and then a blowout Full English on a Sunday (including vegetarian and gluten-free options).
Tempt yourself with delicious and colourful Krazy Kupcakes cupcakes or replenish some energy after a day of shopping, sightseeing or on the beach with a Jetty Café Pizza.
Refreshment-wise, The Jetty Café has a range of Teas and freshly brewed Coffee, including herbal teas and decaffeinated options. It is fully licensed for those that want to kick back and relax with a glass of wine, a bottled beer or cider.
The Jetty Café offers a discount for NHS staff.
Opening Times:
Tues-Fri 10am-3pm, Sat 10am-5pm, Sun10am-1pm (You can pre-book tables for dining or private hire outside normal opening hours).
The White Horse Brancaster Staithe
The White Horse.
Brancaster Staithe, Norfolk, PE31 8BY.
Tel: 01485 210262.
A 3-star, 2 AA Rosette Inn on the A149 coast road in Brancaster Staithe, The White Horse is undoubtedly one of the best places to drink, dine and relax in the region.
It is located on an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), with some of the most stunning panoramic views across tidal marshes and sandy beaches that you’ll see anywhere in North Norfolk. Sunsets seen from The White Horse terrace (and rises as well if you’re an early bird) are truly dazzling.
A coastal pub built in 1934, The White Horse has been refurbished and tastefully styled with chic, modern décor that perfectly complements its seashore setting. Plenty of natural materials and nautical blues, greys and whites create a calm, welcoming environment.
The bar at The White Horse is well stocked with real ale on tap from the associated Brancaster Brewery (view tasting notes and a Brief History of the Brancaster Brewery), along with other local brews including Woodfordes Wherry, Adnams Bitter and changing guest ales.
A well-chosen wine list offers choices from around the world both by the bottle or the glass.
There are plenty of non-alcoholic choices too, including a variety of teas and coffee. We like the wonderfully refreshing ‘Norfolk Orchards’ assortment, with locally produced Cox apple juice and non-alcoholic Pippin cocktail (local cider also featured, which is alcoholic. As cider should be).
For the peckish, a bar menu features delicious local, seasonal fare all day long.
Dining is an unhurried experience, intended to be savored. Food can be eaten at the bar or, if you want to dine al fresco, there is the landscaped sunken garden.
Breakfast menu available 9-11am.
Bar Menu available 11am-9pm.

The bar is open for drinks 11am-11pm (Mon-Sat) and 12Noon-10.30pm (Sun).
Back to the Garden Cafe
Back to the Garden.
Letheringsett, Holt, Norfolk, NR25 7JJ.
Tel: 01263 715996.
Housed in a lofty 18th Century barn situated beside the A148 in Letheringsett just outside Holt, the Back to the Garden Café Restaurant is wonderfully, yet minimalistically, styled to combine touches of the rural/agricultural with chic modernity. Accents from the huge focal-point pendant lamp that resembles a large metal tractor wheel to the stylish metal-framed images of rural scenes that adorn the walls provide subtle, but wonderful decoration against the exposed brickwork, generous timber and almost floor-to-ceiling windows.
Ideal for a relaxing mid-morning coffee or indulgent afternoon tea, there is an extensive drinks menu, with a variety of coffee and tea, and a selection of delicious soft drinks. The Café is licensed, so you can even treat yourself to a glass of wine or lager. In keeping with Back to the Garden’s ethos that food and drink should be as fresh and natural as possible, there are organic options across the board.
To eat, Back to the Garden stocks plenty of diet-busting sweet goodies, including homemade pastries and cakes (the Chocolate & Guinness Cake looked very interesting). There are also savoury choices including breakfast, light meals, salads and toasted bagels. Collectively, the Café has deemed such items ‘All Things Lovely’. And they are.
On warmer days, there are further tables outside in a beautiful garden area (think country cottage garden, but larger). Tranquil and pretty, with grapes growing on vines, a fish pond and discreetly hidden boxes for owls and bats, you’ll find yourself so relaxed that if you’re not on holiday, you’ll feel like you are.
The Café Restaurant and garden at Back to the Garden are available to hire for parties, wedding receptions and functions. Best not to get us started on the adjacent Farm Shop…
