We fondly refer to this as Greasy Joe's but in a really good way. We always have fish and chips, white buttered bread and in my sister's case a cuppa! The staff are so friendly, the cooking superb and we leave there fully satisfied. The fish is just melt in your mouth yum! View all feedback.
What andybristol12555 doesn't like about Woodbine Cafe:
Of all the reviews I have ever written for Trip Advisor this is the most difficult. I had last been in the Woodbine Café over 40 years ago when I worked on Lowestoft fish market. The café has not changed; in an era of lattes, skinny lattes and all manner of sophisticated coffee options the Woodbine Café has stuck with basic tea and instant coffee and for that I am grateful. If you want sophistication the Starbucks ty... View all feedback.
The Woodbine Cafe is now an oriental takeaway sadly the old traditional British restaurant is no more. My wife and I had a takeaway from here recently the food was pretty decent and prices were comparable to most Chinese takeaways in the area. Delivery took a little longer than expected (around an hour) and they apologised for that. Would consider using them again although there are cheaper options in town.
I ordered £40 worth of food the was tasteless, the sweet n sour sauce was watered down the chicken was chewy and the beef let’s leave that one.
Popped into this lovely looking cafe whilst walking around lowestoft. First thing you notice is the old style 70s ish front, then the 5 star food hygiene rating. When you go inside it is just like a proper 1970s cafe. The days when they made real cafes. The menu was clearly laid out for everyone to read the whole cafe was extremely clean. Not just on the floor or tables but up above around the pipework aswell. The breakfast was absolutely gorgeous. Full of flavour taste. We even had a lovely chat with a few friendly locals. Plus the lady who served us told us how she came to help her friend on a saturday to wash up she has been here since, 24 years now! As we were about to leave,i had a sneaky peak at the kitchen. OMG! I have NEVER seen a cafe with such a clean spotless kitchen. I am a truck driver so i have seen many. This kitchen has to be the cleanest i have ever seen. Keep up the great work a massive thank you.
Every time we visit Great Yarmouth, we make sure to stop by this café. The food is amazing and prices are reasonable. While it may not look fancy, don't be fooled by appearances. If you're in Lowestoft or Great Yarmouth, it's definitely worth a visit. You won't be disappointed.
First time in Lowestoft, we needed somewhere to eat from arrival. One minute from railway station stumbled on this gem! An old English 'caff ' dating back to 1895! Great period interior. Large menu selection at great prices, welcoming, friendly ladies waiting on and cooking. Massive portions, prepared for as ordered (I was 'pogged out ' past dinner time). Highly recommended traditional English cafe stay exactly as you are brilliant!!!
