We haven’t been here since Covid and we’re disappointed by the selection of cakes, mostly gluten free, not local and not cheap either. Mediocre coffee, comfy chairs have gone and now quite an uninviting space to sit, although nicely decorated. Toilets very clean, shop over priced, won’t rush back in a hurry.

Visited Cafe after a year away due to Covid. Have been near numerous times before and always enjoyed a cup of tea and alive of cake. Considering only one percent of the British population cannot for medical reasons have gluten, why on earth are all the cakes gluten free??? I know gluten free products have improved enormously but a slice of Victoria sponge will not be the same with gluten free flour. Please give us a choice, don't cater only for the minority. There were a few items, ( not cake) which were made with normal flour which were very nice but is Holkam aware these products contain numerous e numbers, hydrogenated fats and palm oil !!!

Selection of cafe food was a bit of a disappointment, and people had to wait for hot food as the ovens weren't to temperature so we had to make do with sandwiches. Staff in cafe were young and seemed inexperienced, some work to do here. Cafe was completely disabled friendly, sandwiches were nice. Toilets were clean. Lovely cafe, but needs a little work for the extra star.

Reasonably priced, good range of food, nice surroundings inside and out, perfect after a walk around the grounds!

Probably the worst cup of coffee I've had. Supposed to be a flat white, but large, very milky and weak. Suggest staff need training?

After wandering around the hall for the most of day it was a pleasant break to sit down and have a cup of tea and the obligatory cake. It was a warm sunny day when we visited but the cafe has a glazed canopy roof over part of it which provides some protection should it be raining. Inside seating is also available. The staff were friendly even though the service was a little slow. Worth a visit even if only to sit down and take a break.

We had the soup and bread and a sandwich and a lovely hot sausage roll. All nice and fresh and tasty. Well worth a visit if having a day out at Holkham.

Joined queue at 1pm and hoped to have the cream teas but they had run out. Advised to come back in 15 mins when scones would be ready. Joined another queue just as scones came out the oven so got them fresh and warm. Tea was only available in paper cups even for inside consumption at £2 each. On eating found scones were a bit dry as they had been overcooked but otherwise tasty. Rest of food on offer seemed expensive and all the cakes were pre-packaged. Quite different to most other venues.

We arrived at Holkham and had a lovely day out viewing the hall but the highlight had to be the café. We had a delicious banana and chocolate scone, made on the premises! We were served by the very helpful hot food supervisor James, who was very knowledgeable on allergies and the food he’d prepared was great! Thank you for a great and tasty day out with the family.

Beautiful food, served by friendly staff in lovely surroundings. We chose the frittata with three salads for lunch. Hearty and healthy fare. Delicious too. Choice of outdoor or indoor seating. Nice clean loos. Lovely all round experience.

We had lunch here while visiting the estate. The food was fresh and tasty. I had the choice of salads and they were really good. Lovely setting too.

Nice environment with outdoor seating in the old stable yard. Plenty of choice to eat. Toilets are clean and the gift shop is full of expensive 'stuff' to remind you of your visit. The staff were all very professional . There is plenty of space around the park to bring your own picnic - maybe a good idea as it is a busy spot.

There was a good choice of food, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and well marked out COVID signage.

Not much to write home about. The courtyard is pleasant enough but the cafe is pretty indifferent and a bit of a disappointment when considering the surroundings. It’s always been pretty indifferent but is worth a miss at the moment.
