Welcome!

Situated in the centre of Burnham Deepdale in the heart of the North Norfolk coast, Deepdale Cafe would like to welcome you for breakfast, lunch, a quick snack or just a drink and a cake. We're one of the businesses at the popular 'Dalegate' site (with a range of shops, including a Leftleys Costcutter small supermarket and a FatFace clothing store) and have become a well-known and popular eating-and-meeting place since we opened in 2006.

We hope to make you welcome, comfortable and anything from breakfast or a light snack to lunch, coffee or tea or sandwiches for your day out. Our menu goes from practical to posh and we aim to satisfy you whether you need a passing snack, a quick cuppa or a family lunch or want somewhere civilised and interesting for a business meeting or just to pass the afternoon away. We're happy to prepare packed lunches and meals for individuals or groups, days out and trips and with spacious, relaxed indoor and outdoor tables, we'd be delighted to play host to your party, reception and event.

Now owned by Ollie Trezise, Rebecca and Paul Sutherland, familiar faces in the area since opening The Yurt Restaurant at Drove Orchards in June 2009, the aim is to keep the Cafe as friendly as ever and it’s food as delicious! As much of the Cafe fare as possible is prepared fresh on-site with locally sourced ingredients used where practical, whether it be mussels or crabs from Cyril and Ben Southerland, smoked fish from Paul Letzer or locally reared meat from Arthur Howell Butchers.

The cafe is open every day, 7 days a week, from 7.30am to 4pm.

Meet the chef
Head Chef Rory Knowles, a local lad who has lived and worked along the North Norfolk coast all his life, brings a calming presence to the kitchen as well as an unrivalled knowledge of each of the local tradesman’s favourite breakfast treats.... if you’re ever able to come in to the Cafe and ask for ‘a Rory’ you know you’ve made it! Having worked in a range of establishments, Rory brings a broad range of cooking styles and influences to your table, although you can always be assured of a good sized, tasty portion of whatever it is you’ve ordered. Rory is more than ably assisted by Sous Chef Lester Gower. These two have worked together for several years now and are equally committed to, and passionate about, their craft!!

Do I need to book?

We like it if you can just turn up, sit down, choose and get fed and we try to keep it that way... but we do get busy, particularly on weekend lunchtimes, holidays and high days so sometimes you might be asked to occupy the comfy sofa for a short while before we can find you a table. So if you do know in advance when you'd like to come and it's likely to be a busy time, please give us a call or send us a message and ask us to reserve a table for you... it's easier for us to manage and may save you a wait.

Opening Hours

Open every day 7.30am-4pm

Breakfast and morning stuff from 7.30-12, lunches 12-3 and teas and snacks from 3-4.

We're right on the A149 coast road between Hunstanton and Wells, convenient for local campsites, handy for Brancaster harbour and a short step from the North Norfolk coast path. Walkers welcomed, cyclists catered for, sailors provisioned, birdwatchers' butties packed and ladies lunched... whatever you're up to along the coast, why not drop in and see us?

Park your bike... and enjoy a well deserved break on our outside tables. Deepdale Cafe is a short downhill run from National Cycle Route No 1 and a good destination if you're out riding locally.
