We are delighted to be hosting the Norfolk & Suffolk Dahlia Society once again this year on Monday 15th June for 7pm (coffee shop open from 6.30pm)

Join our Chairman, Donnie, and myself for an informal Q&A session all about growing dahlias. Whether you’re a seasoned grower, completely new to dahlias, or simply enjoy meeting like-minded gardening enthusiasts, we’d love to welcome you.

🌼 Non-members are very welcome
☕ Coffee shop open for refreshments (no hot food available)

Come along for an enjoyable evening of dahlia chat, tips, advice, and friendly company. We look forward to seeing you there!

🚧 Exciting Changes Are Underway! 🚧

We’d like to thank all of our customers for your patience and understanding while we carry out some major improvements to the coffee shop.

This project represents the biggest investment we’ve made since opening three years ago and will create much-needed additional back-of-house and kitchen space, helping us improve our service and prepare for future growth.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused during the works, which we expect to continue until mid-July. The good news is that our opening hours will remain unchanged throughout the renovation period, so you can still enjoy all your usual favourites.

Our plans to extend the indoor seating area are also very much still in place and will be implemented in the near future. As part of these ongoing improvements, there will be no access via the front door for the foreseeable future until the seating extension is completed.

👉 Please enter via the rear entrance during this time.

We’re incredibly excited about what these improvements will bring and can’t wait to share the finished results with you. Thank you for supporting us over the last three years and for continuing to support us as we invest in the future of the café.

☕️ See you soon!

Our lovely new catalogues have arrived just in time! ✨

A huge thank you to Natalie Steward for creating this as part of her university illustration degree project. We were looking for something truly unique and eye-catching—and Natalie absolutely delivered!

Every piece of artwork and illustration has been thoughtfully designed by Natalie, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. 🎨

Be sure to grab your copy and take a look!
