After visiting the Munnings Museum and viewing the paintings, we decided to have some tea. Located in the garden of the house is The Garden Café, which offers a selection of delicious tea and coffee, homemade cakes, and scones. We tried the ginger cake, made by the hostess herself, which was light and full of flavor. We also enjoyed a cheese scone with butter and onion chutney. My husband had cider while I opted for Earl Grey tea, which was served in a generous pot. The café also serves baked potatoes and quiche.

October visit. Interesting paintings and different styles. Pleasant people working there. But I would like to point out a few problems for those with mobility issues. The main car park has thick large gravel and mobility scooter walker would not cope with it. There are a few spaces near the house entrance. The paths to the disabled toilet and cafe are rough slabs with 1inch gaps so also not good use the grass instead. Hardly any chose of food in cafe ie sandwich or cake because the museum shuts in October. The cafe is separate to the house and in the grounds. I enjoyed the visit but had a fit man with me or would have been a wasted 1 hour journey to get there
The best place to come for Afternoon tea. First of all, the presentation was amazing! Obviously a lot of time and effort was put into the preparation. The table was set up waiting for us when we arrived with freshly cut flowers. The friendly staff...directed us to our table and asked us what tea or coffee we wanted, which is included in the offer. the food was lovely and looked great. Mark and his team looked after us very well and came over and refilled our drinks several times. By far, the best afternoon tea in the area and would totally recommend!!
Popped in here after visiting the museum. Great for light bites and homemade cakes. All fresh. Coffee is good. Staff polite and obliging. On warm days you can sit outside and gaze at the horses in the adjoining field. Book a table now
Good collection of his work within his house and studio. Prompted to visit after seeing some of his paintings in the Norwich museum. Museum is not open after early autumn until spring so check dates.
Lovely museum and art gallery of AJ Munnings. His paintings of horses are the best. Had a curator tour excellent and don't forget to change your tickets to an annual pass amazing offer.
I love this Museum, amazingly interesting. Lots of fabulous art. Very friendly and helpful staff. Great cafe too. A must if you're an artist.
A very lovely place to visit but was SO disappointed they no longer take cash. Please give people a choice. Book a table now
I visited a fascinating small art gallery located in the home of artist AJ Munmings.
I had afternoon tea on the outdoor patio. The food and service were both fantastic.
