Purdy's Tearoom - Broadland

I don’t often write reviews but the staff were really friendly and accommodating with our order. The food was well prepared, tasty and good value. Thanks you Purdy’s for a lovely lunch.

This small tea room appears a bit worn out. The outdoor seating is nice, but the kitchen and serving area seem a bit dirty. The fly screen is filled with dirt and needs to be replaced. There was someone cleaning various surfaces with a cloth and rinsing it in the hand wash sink, but they did not seem very happy. The tea was average, and the coffee was weak because the portafilter was not cleaned properly. The menu claims to have vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free options, but there were none available at the cake counter. The only milk option was soy milk. Some members of our group tried the food, with mixed reviews. One person had a dry cheese scone, while another enjoyed the Victoria sponge. This place could use some updates to offer more choices for all dietary preferences and intolerances. Despite the issues, I still love this garden center and will continue to visit for plants and trees, but I hope the tea room can be improved in the future.

Went today and arrived at 2:05. Asked to see a menu and was told they had finished serving from the menu for the day. All they could offer were some quiches that had stood in the warm and dried up cheese scone. Two slices of cake and about four buns left. We had a quiche, which was just stuck on a plate, no garnish and a dry cheese scone. We’ll stick with Aylsham Garden Vente in the future, much better choice, friendlier staff and more choice if FRESH food! Need to up their game with the competition.

Great afternoon tea x beautiful homemade cakes all presented lovely. Great ambience and fab friendly staff x definately recommend

Busy on arrival with inside and outside customers. Spaced out tables. Clean surroundings. Staff polite friendly and very hard working. Drinks, tea and latte made in front of us. Good . Cheese scone very tasty and fresh. Ham and cheese toastie with crisps generous in filling. A good spot for lunch and will be visiting again. Lots of happy customers. The nurseries are quirky and full of well looked after plants. Super
