Set within the peaceful surroundings of Black Barn Farm, Salhouse Farm Shop and Cafe brings together homemade British cooking, fresh local produce and panoramic views of the Norfolk countryside. Located near Norwich, this light-filled cafe is open for breakfast, brunch and lunch, making it a popular destination for everything from post-walk breakfasts to relaxed family lunches. With a farm shop, deli and butchery housed under the same roof, it’s an ideal place to enjoy a meal before browsing some of Norfolk’s finest produce.
Upstairs, the cafe enjoys uninterrupted countryside views through floor-to-ceiling windows, while overhead skylights flood the converted barn with natural light. Rattan chairs, simple round tables and warm wooden touches create a relaxed, contemporary space that makes the most of its rural setting. Downstairs, visitors can explore the farm shop, where a traditional butchery counter sits alongside an extensive deli stocked with locally produced cheeses, honey, jams, fresh vegetables and other Norfolk specialities.
The menu celebrates hearty British favourites made using fresh, local ingredients. Breakfast options include the Salhouse Breakfast, the Big Barn Breakfast and the vegetarian Greenhouse Breakfast, while brunch features favourites such as avocado on toast, pancakes, golden waffles and generously filled Big Barn baps with options including crispy chicken katsu with Asian slaw, Norfolk overnight roasted ham or the deli ABLT. At lunchtime, diners can enjoy homemade soup, ham, egg and chips, sausage roll meals and daily chef’s specials, alongside homemade fruit scones, toasted teacakes, croissants, brownies and slices of Victoria sponge.
The drinks menu includes freshly brewed hot drinks alongside Prosecco, beer, mimosas, Bloody Marys and soft drinks. A dedicated Little Farmers Menu makes the cafe a welcoming choice for families, while its dog-friendly policy means four-legged companions are equally welcome, making it a great stop-off for people out walking.
