Eccentric, fun and friendly, this cheerful eatery is close to the Hall that became familiar thanks to the 2016 BBC2 series Normal for Norfolk featuring owner Desmond MacCarthy. Beyond the poster-paint colour scheme, the café is surprisingly conventional and a spot to know for breakfast or a light lunch – a fish finger sandwich or goat's cheese and spinach tart with beetroot relish, say. Come teatime, order a cinnamon knot or a slice of Bakewell tart – perhaps with a pot of the ‘Desmond’ blend (lapsang souchong and English breakfast); if it's fine, bag one of the outside tables overlooking the marshes. A bookable ‘Italian evening’ pops up every Friday and Saturday through the warmer months.
