The Submarine Cafe

I visited here with my husband for a mid-week breakfast on a day to the coast. Neither of us had eaten here before. There is no dedicated parking but we parked up in the town and walked down the seafront which took about fifteen minutes. The cafe is very small. They do takeaways as well as sit in dining.It has indoor and outdoor seating. We chose to sit inside as it was a bit breezy.It is table service. The lady that served us (I think the co-owner was very friendly. As was the chef (her husband They were chatty without being intrusive. We both ordered the large breakfasts and had a tea each. The breakfasts come with tinned tomatoes which make me very pleased as not many places down south serve them. I told this to the lady and the chef very kindly brought me a whole bowl of them for my breakfast!The teas were brought out before the breakfasts, but we didn't have to wait too long for the food to come and the teas were still hot when the food came.They were in lovely large mugs too. The photos of the breakfasts don't really do them justice as the hide the quality and quantity we were actually served. The bacon was so thickly cut it was almost like gammon steak. The quality was exceptional. The sausages too were amazing. Thick, juicy and a great flavour. The chef told us that he and the butcher came up with the recipe together and you can't buy them yourself. The rest of the breakfast was also great. All were hot and cooked very well. If I had to pick something wrong' with the breakfast, I'd say I prefer my eggs not to have that yellow crispy stuff on the underside. But they were still great. And the toast, I prefer a thicker cut bread. But again, that's not a criticism as the toast we had was still lovely. And served with delicious Lurpak too, not cheap fake spread. Both the staff (owners perhaps were lovely. You could see that the man was proud of his food and they weren't just nice to us. We listened to them with other customers and they were equally nice to them as well. My only complaint' was that we were there at and it was absolutely sweltering in the cafe. And that was on a bit of an overcast summers day. I dread to think what it is like mid-afternoon on a hot summers day. I don't think I could cope. I don't think there is much the owners could do about this though and it's just what you get with old, small buildings. It wouldn't stop me eating there though. I would probably just sit outside instead. I literally cannot criticise a thing on the breakfasts. Any issues' were merely personal preference and absolutely not a fault of the cafe (ie. my husband prefers a less coarse meat in a fry-up sausage so it is a smoother eat). This is one of the best quality breakfasts I have eaten in Norfolk. It sounds awful. but we were quite surprised just how good it was as you wouldn't have known it from the outside as it just looked like your average' seaside cafe. It was well priced, the staff were lovely and the food was great. Well done. We would definitely come here again.

If you are looking for good food and good service, look elsewhere. Instead we got the opposite. One cold sausage roll and one partly warmed, couldn't eat either. They were supposed to be served hot. Couldn't leave the place fast enough. Avoid like Covid.

By far the best breakfast you will buy while staying in Sheringham. The lady owner and her husband were so kind and lovely we went nearly everyday for a week, they even knew our orders by the end of the week.
