A lovely delicatessen with lots of local produce, fresh bread, cheese & deli section! Good range of options, beers wine and gin at the back of the shop! It’s bigger that it looks from the outside, a great find for lunch supplies ⭐️

Can't beat a lovely lil farm shop, had the most amazing Scotch egg and cake for snack on the beach. Friend who lived here also got lots of lovely fruit and veg was so nice.

Brilliant delicatessen with a huge range of locally sourced foods as well as a large selection of international food. If you enjoy cooking from scratch and need some unusual ingredients, then you are sure to find them here. The bakery section is very good, and if you are looking for ready-made picnic food to take to one of the nearby beaches, then this would be an ideal place to make your purchases. There is a car park close to the shop - parking in Cley is otherwise a little tricky. Great store also selling wines and beers.

Wow-- what an absolute gem of a little deli and market in the heart of Cley. The bakery is unbelievable. Try to turn up for a fresh slice of the pear and ginger cake fresh out of the oven. You should be so lucky! Short walk to and from the beach, and Picnic Fayre is the perfect place to begin and end it. We will definitely be back.

We stumbled upon Picnic Fayre a few years ago when walking from Wiveton to Cley, and I am so glad we did!
I've visited it every time I've been in the area since, and it never disappoints.
Amazing variety of cakes, savoury pastries, wines etc...

Really nice deli with everything in, great homemade cakes and sandwiches

We had a short break in Cley-next-the-Sea and the amazing Picnic Fayre Deli meant that we had wonderfully fresh, local food every day. Incredible selection and always a friendly face.

Early Sunday morning, passing by a beautiful small city, we are looked any place where we can get breakfast we find this wonderful store the store still was closed, we were able to buy coffee and a delicious breakfast. Thanks to the friendly staff.
Andy McCavish
Wow what a find in such a small village, the sheer amount of local products they have is a must see. The crufins made in the village are addictive and NOT to be missed
Yvonne Norman
First time there and couldn't believe the amazing array of food they had. A great selection of cheeses, so many wonderful pies including vegan, the artisan bread choices were so good, homemade cakes to die for and so many jams and chutneys to choose from. If I lived in Cley I'd be buying so much each week. Will definitely be going back next time in North Norfolk and taking a big bag ..

Great place fresh vegetables 🥒 bread 🍞 , lots of Uther stuff, call in ,it's well worth a visit.👍
Adrian Woods
It's been our favourite shop in Norfolk for years. Great selection of quality food ideal for a sandwich or picnic on the beach. Easier to get to than the beach and they have their own car park. Beats supermarket food.

Amazing find! Good sized car park just a few feet from the shop. Loads of different items from jams to sauces and fruits and vegetables. Really enjoyed my visit and can't wait to go back! Also managed to grab a slice of cake to go! Nom nom! X
Andy Watson
A joy to shop here. This store has it all. Great home baked goodies, and friendly staff. If your in Cley you have to visit.
Morna Flood
Baked me a Birthday cake on the same day I rang up! Collected it later that day.Great cakes and fresh baked. Portions are generous.😁
Fiona Newton
Whether it is the outstanding range of cheeses, home-made cakes and pies, the delicious spices in jars ready for tasting, this shop has it all. And if the produce were not enough, the kindness, care and advice shown by the staff are worth going for alone.
Elisabeth McGlynn
Fantastic selection of just about everything especially pickles and homemade cakes. Lovely staff and great service.

Rude rude rude.. that’s how the older woman in this establishment was today the 7th November. Looks down her nose at you and then makes a snide comment to one of her colleagues as they leave. Luckily they had good hearing and gave her a piece of their mind. If you don’t spend more than a tenner she also looks down on you. Overpriced shop trying to be an upmarket deli. The one in stiffkey is way better and friendlier. Will not ever use again unless that certain member of staff is not in employment there in the future

Lovely deli and shop in Cley. Very old and filled to the beams with good food. We picked up a pork pie (okay - thick pastry that looked better than it tasted, pork sausage inside), portuguese egg tart (baked by the deli and though not authentic still very scrumptious) and lavendar foccacia (yummy foccaccia with a hint of lavendar) to take for a picnic lunch. Also picked up a nice jar of local Cley marmalade to take back as a gift.
They're known for their cakes and I think they are probably better than the savory pies. They have also an extensive selection of locally sourced cheeses like Norfolk Dappy, Cornish Yarg, etc. And did I mention the large wine selection in back? And the shelves of local jams and chutneys?
Super cute place, lots of local goods. Friendly staff.

Lovely deli and off licence- superb cakes and pies, and decent coffee. Somewhat incongruous for such a small place, perhaps, and not exactly a substitute for, say , a Spar ( you can't buy a newspaper and a Twix here), but then, the pork pies are world class . I also recommend the sweet chilli cashews.

Picnic Fayre is a large deli in the small coastal village of Cley next the Sea. It is situated on the crossroads, not far from the art gallery and windmill, and takes its customer base from a lot of the North Norfolk coastal holiday cottages.
The deli has a fine selection of cheese, particularly English cheeses including Lincolnshire Poacher, Cornish Yarg, Wensleydale, Stilton and Y Fenni. Antipasti include olives, sardines, pesto, seafood salad and sundried tomatoes and peppers. Cley Forge is the shop's own range of pickles, chutneys, mustards, sauces and jams.
Breads include ciabatta and foccaccia, along with the shop's speciality: lavender foccaccia - tastes better than it sounds.
Outside the shop, you will find baskets of local fruit and vegetables, and you can also pick up ice cream in the summer.
The shop can get a bit crowded, but the staff are friendly, and there are certainly plenty of options for picnics on the beach. I'd recommend picking up some crab sandwiches from one of the many seafood shacks and adding the olives and other bits from the deli.
