The Refectory - South Norfolk

We stopped by this cafe for a coffee break after visiting the cathedral. The cafe is located in a charming building next to the cathedral walls. We had two flat white coffees, which came to £6.40.

I was very disappointed with the changes at this cafe. My previous visit before Covid was amazing, with a wide variety of lunch options and healthy choices. However, post Covid, they only offered soup, pastries, and cake for lunch. There was nothing special about their menu compared to other cafes that offer similar items. The only standout feature was the beautiful building and its connection to the Cathedral. When I asked about the change, I was informed that another company had taken over the contract. It's a shame to see such a decline in quality.

We stopped in for tea and cake after touring the cathedral. The building looks impressive from the outside and is bright and welcoming inside. The staff were very friendly and efficient, the cakes were tasty and the portions were generous. Thank you for a great end to our trip.

What a brilliant cafe. Accessible for all with a small lift and just lovely modern architecture. The place was spotless, the drinks lovely and the range of cakes and pastries quite out of this world. Company running the refectory are called Bread Source excellent!

I love coming here to escape the hustle and bustle of City cafes. The food is always great, the soups and scones especially so.
