About Our Restaurant

Lime Kiln Kitchen, inspired by our travels, from Cromer to Cape Town. With the eclectic decor ranging from Colonial to Victorian with a nod to Art Deco, and oversized sofas to age old artefacts the design has been a labour of love with the intention of transporting you to faraway places. Enjoy the tranquillity of the open-air deck or the intimacy of the lounge, we hope our unique setting lends itself to an array of occasions.

A Place to Relax

From cosy afternoons relaxing by the fire with an indulgent afternoon tea to balmy summer mornings on the terrace with a wholesome breakfast and some fizz, for quiet days and holidays to relax, take in the scenery and stay awhile.

Testimonials

Love this place. My new favorite. Worth the drive for the most amazing food. Best ever for a garden centre. Great to bring family and fab for ladies who lunch. You certainly will not regret the visit.

Fantastic afternoon tea. Lovely environment and no rush for the table back. Endless tea too.

Went for a roast – absolutely fantastic, really good quality meat and a good selection of veg etc. Only £12. Can be a long wait – got given a buzzer for about 20mins but the centre itself is huge and plenty to browse and look at.
