Merrivale Tea Rooms - Great Yarmouth

Shocking customer service from one member of staff, extremely rude! Scones very doughy not pleasant! Chocolate muffin cake very dry and tasteless!

Lovely place, lovely food well worth a visit. Friendly service and a lovely selection of cream cakes and a very nice cup of tea.

Don’t often review, but the staff were so lovely and helpful thought it deserved one. My daughter is coeliac so headed here after seeing lots of recommendations on a GF FB group. She’s 8, and it’s very rare that you see GF children’s options. There were probably 4 that she could chose from on the children’s menu which was brilliant. All 6 of us that went were very pleased with our lunches, and bought cake to take away (amazing selection! , plus a GF piece for my daughter. Very polite and helpful staff, nothing was too much trouble. And nice surroundings too. We’ll definitely be returning on our next trip to Great Yarmouth.

Lots of gluten free options and good food. Sitting outside is nice if you don’t mind the rather tame sparrows They particularly like the peas.

We arrived when the restaurant wasn’t that busy and ordered gluten free scones. These were small and has to be defrosted. They were dry and didn’t taste of anything. I got asked three times whether I wanted to visit their ‘cocktail shack’ on the side of the building which looked like it was decorated by a 16 year olds. No one bought anything from the shack the whole time we were there a so I wasn’t going to. When we were trying to eat outside an old man attending the dying flowers surrounding the outside area kept brushing brushing past us as he walked by. We only wanted to be left alone. Overall it was a poor experience
