About Thornham Deli
Thornham Deli sits on the High Street of Thornham, a small village on the north Norfolk coast road, and bills itself as more than a deli. Under one roof you will find a café, a deli counter with groceries, and a lifestyle shop of homewares and gifts. It is dog friendly, which matters on a stretch of coast where many people come in straight from a beach or marsh walk.
Breakfast starts at 8am every day, with a full English on the menu, and hot food is served until 3:45pm. Lighter dishes sit in a healthy-choices section, there is fresh green juice, and coffee and cakes carry on into the afternoon, when cream teas come into their own. Hours posted from 3 May are Monday to Friday 8am to 4:30pm and weekends 8am to 5pm.
If you are short on time, coffee and food can be taken away, and takeaway orders can be placed online ahead of arrival. The deli also sells frozen meals, handy for a self-catering stay, offers outside catering, and lets its own holiday properties in the area under the No 33 name. The lifestyle shop has an online side and a personal shopper service.
Norfolk Lavender at Heacham is about 5 miles southwest along the A149, roughly 10 to 15 minutes by car, so breakfast here before the lavender gardens, or a late lunch after, fits neatly into a day on the coast.
