Part of the museum, but you don't need to pay for the museum to eat here. Exceptional value for basic food. Take the kids, they will be happy, and it won't cost you a fortune. Staff were polite, and the service was quick. We were a little late for lunch, so maybe that helped the speed of service.

Fabulous little spot and definitely worth our walk to reach it. For my money, probably the best café in Great Yarmouth. Despite being two waifs and strays wandering in on Mother's Day (when there were significant bookings for afternoon tea), we were very much welcomed in and treated wonderfully by everyone. The food we had was excellent, as was the service and I'd be very, very, happy to go back when they were operating their normal menu. Pro tip: it's a little out of the way and not much in the way of parking nearby, so be prepared to fish for a spot or do as we did and walk from the seafront area.

Food is delicious, staff is friendly, BUT it is too slow in serving. Although the staff already told me it would take a bit longer, a waiting time of 54 minutes for 2 omelettes, 1 salmon and cream cheese bagel and a slice of on display chocolate fudge cake is just too long.
