I stumbled upon this bistro while traveling with my dogs and it was a delightful surprise. Having never been to Swaffham before, we made a quick stop here on our way home. The bistro is dog-friendly, has great decor, and a lovely outdoor terrace that offers plenty of shade. The menu is impressive, with a fantastic selection of drinks. The staff was incredibly welcoming and friendly. I would definitely return the next... View all feedback.

Excellent food frendly staff loveley atmosphere a real hidden gem
Small breakfast and coffee for 2. Service, cooked breakfast and coffee all very good. Will visit again and going to try the special event evenings.
What a little gem of a place, recommended to us by a few locals in the Greyhound Pub (fab pub) so we went for Breakfast this morning, service was great, dog friendly big plus and the quality of the sausages, bacon and eggs was fantastic and at a decent price. We are on Holiday for the week and I'm sure we be back
Good value, very pleased with our lunch. Attentive but not overbearing service plus tasty, well cooked food
What a lovely place. Food and service excellent. We had an all-day breakfast, quality produce sourced locally and cooked when ordered so fresh, moist tasty food. See you all very soon. X

This is a wonderful spot for a family meal, and they even welcome dogs inside. The food was delicious and was served promptly. The staff was friendly and made us feel right at home. The decor was charming and quite picturesque. The rooms were small and cozy, and the portion sizes were just right. I highly recommend visiting!
For the first time visited swaffham and visited shelly’s. eating was really fast and was delicious, very friendly staff and the decor is very niche. truly unique. highly recommended.
Superb little place, very good prices, lovely and helpful Staff. They had had a rush, and run out of a few things but went out and bought what was needed. I shall visit again.
Amazing place for afternoon teas and home cooked meals! Panini’s are delicious definitely a place to try!
Shelly’s is amazing for food and service. Nothing is ever too much trouble. They even offer a delivery service which is great. I can highly recommend the afternoon teas and burgers.
