Gardener's Kitchen Restaurant

As a regular user of Green Pastures, we are so lucky to have this great local business in South Norfolk! The restaurant consistently serves up great food, we have used the post office more times in recent years as it’s so handy being on our doorstep, the garden centre team go above and beyond, and the farm shop is a hazard - you always end up spending far more money than you had planned! Fresh produce and great selection. I know how hard the owners will work to keep a business like this going, with fresh produce, high customer expectations, staffing and the current cost of living, and everyone should make an effort to support a business like this. Keep up the great work James and team!

We popped in this morning after an early morning visit to Norfolk and Norwich hospital, famished and in need of a decent breakfast. I had the ‘Head Gardeners’ breakfast, and Loraine had the ‘Eggs Royale’. Just wanted to say, best breakfast I have ever had!! And Loraine was blown away by hers too. Thank you!! Top notch plates of food 😊

Stopped here for lunch after a visit to Norwich. Greeted and shown to a table with a selection of menus plus also a specials board to choose from. Both our meals were very well presented and were large portions to the extent we had no room to sample the selection of sweets and cake on offer. The staff were very polite and helpful. A walk around the selection of autumn and winter type plants looked very good and of high quality at not silly prices. All in all a very enjoyable visit.

We had a fantastic visit to Green Pastures where we enjoyed our lunch so much we even treated our selves to some of the cakes with a coffee! Everything was delicious, well presented and to top it off staff were super friendly. This wasn't our first visit, as we've previously enjoyed a delicious afternoon tea here. We will definitely be back!

Whilst the plants may be a little bit more expensive than some other, bigger diy/garfen centres, you get what you pay for! The ants are helpfully laid out for the type of soil or garden you have and the staff are knowledgeable and friendly. The restaurant is top-notch with great roasts, cakes and sausage rolls. Well worth a visit.

Went here on way back from holiday, as I was recommended the breakfast here. Stopped with children and in-laws. Must admit the quality and quantity of the breakfast was excellent. In-laws also bought some plants, they stated that it had good quality plants and a good selection. Will definitely return next time I am heading to and from suffolk.

Afternoon tea is really good and thoughtfully presented.. Suggest to get five stars that the water is filtered of limescale as it makes the tea very scummy, wet napkins for sticky fingers and tidy up /landscape the car park /storage area, it needs better presentation to make it less scruffy (one of the letters on the external sign is missing) . Also visibility leaving the car park onto the road is very poor, needs changing. But food and staff are ace and deserve five stars.

First time I’ve visited and we were looking for a few plants for the garden and decided to have a coffee and cake before we had a browse. Staff and service was fantastic, friendly and attentive. Food and drink was lovely and the price was very reasonable. Didn’t find all the plants we were looking for but then it is early in the season and no rush. Good range of plants, household items and tools. Highly recommended garden centre and look forward to our next visit.

8 of us arrived earlier than we booked but it wasn't a problem. Everything on the menu was available. 3 of us chose the fish specials which were absolutely amazing. Best swordfish I have ever tasted! All 4 children ate their main and desert and two adults managed to fit in a delicious desert! Service was very prompt despite it being quite busy. Lovely atmosphere and happy friendly staff. Definitely recommend!
