Review of the Norfolk Deli Cafe in Hunstanton: Kind staff and extensive lunch menu makes this eatery great

I don’t know about you, but I quite enjoy a cold winter walk along the beach to blow the cobwebs away.

So when my partner Tom and I decided to have a lengthy stroll in Hunstanton on a Saturday, we wanted to fuel ourselves before taking to the beach.

I’ve been eyeing up the Norfolk Deli Cafe on the town’s high street each time I’ve visited recently. Its eye-catching yellow front enticed me to see what they have to offer.

This is a great alternative place to eat if you’re visiting the seaside town, but don’t fancy fish and chips - as the Norfolk Deli Cafe offers a huge variety of light bites.

We helped ourselves to a table in the small and cosy cafe. By the time we had ordered our food, the place was full to the brim - which I take as a promising sign.

The Norfolk Deli Cafe has a great selection of sandwiches, toasties and salads for meat-eaters, vegetarians and vegans. The cafe also utilises its location and offers a lot of seafood options.

To drink, I had a flat white coffee with oat milk (£3.50 with an extra 50p for oat milk) which was strong and creamy.

Tom decided to try one of the many special winter hot chocolate options available and went for a Biscoff hot chocolate which came with cream and marshmallows (£3.95). He said it was really creamy and delicious. A perfect winter warmer.

For food, I was really pleased to see how many vegan options I could choose from. I definitely want to go back to the cafe one day to try its vegan platter!

But this time, I chose the “mega vega” toastie (£7.50), which had hummus, red pepper and spinach inside of it. It came with crisps and salad.

The toastie was delicious and full of flavour and kept me full.

Tom went for the tuna mayo sandwich (£7) which came with the same accompaniments as mine. Tom said his food was fresh and enjoyable.

I think this cafe has a great menu and is a fantastic place for a spot of lunch.

Our total bill came to £24.20, which is pretty reasonable for a filling lunch and two drinks, including a huge hot chocolate.

I have to say, the staff were so lovely - and especially kind and understanding when I clumsily spilt my coffee everywhere!
