And this year, it does feel like it has been a long winter. It is with much excitement and enthusiasm that we are open again and can welcome you back to Wiveton Hall Caf. Our food is freshly prepared to order, using home-grown and local produce from land, sea and air. Situated on the North Norfolk coast between Blakeney and Cley-next-the-Sea, Wiveton Hall is a dreamy, flint-faced, Dutch-gabled, Jacobean manor house built in the 17th century.

Its unique atmosphere, combined with the fabulous fresh food on offer in the caf, make it one of North Norfolk's favourite venues. There's a vibrant caf with plenty of space for children to play, an interesting small shop, beautiful gardens to walk around and see the outside of the hall - tickets available from the shop.

History Report

If you want to learn more about the history of Wiveton Hall please join Desmond for one of his historical tours of the garden. Wiveton Hall was built in 1652 on the site of an earlier building which dated back to 1280. The land around Blakeney was then owned by a Norman family called De Roos who were approached by Carmelite friars wishing to build a friary.

Great food. Shop lady was delightful, had a long chat on many subjects.
Met Desmond who had just finished a shoot, announcing "small bore, small bore" !!😎

Plenty of outside seating with fantastic views. Good ordering system - would have been nice to have table service but understand that this set up works well for them.

Awesome shop, maize maze and cafe but the pizzas aren't great! Fairly pricey for what you get which is tiny with next to no toppings.

Great food and coffee at the café, with beautiful views over the marshes. If you're lucky you might even see the man himself

Was going to stop here for lunch. Several tables available but little choice. Ok if you wanted a sandwich but we were looking for something a little more substantial. Girl at the window was very helpful and suggested another place to try.

Visited the cafe, coffee was nothing special. We both had ham in a ciabatta roll, expected better - Ham was nice but only one small slice that did not cover the roll and the 'salad' was couple of bits of lettuce and couple of leaves of rocket. Food not worth it but great views of th coast. Expected better

I've wanted to visit here since watching Desmond MacCarthy and his family on 'Normal for Norfolk'. We weren't disappointed. It's very well organised - nachos and wood fired pizza served outside at socially distanced tables. They were delicious! Plenty of hygeine precautions in place. We shall be back for sure.
