Shelley's Bistro in Swaffham is a quaint little cafe with very warm & friendly staff.
I will say the decor is very girly, a pink explosion. It's all neon, fluff & feathers everywhere. It is a bit quirky & eclectic, sort of like a hen party vomited over the place I mean that in as a good thing. It's clean & welcoming, I for one love a place with personality & Shelly's has it in spades.
The food came out quickly, I had the Shelly's Breakfast which consisted of two amazing tasting sausages which were a huge, 2 bacon Rashers a fried egg, 2 hash browns, grilled tomato, beans and thick tiger bread toast, it was fantastic. Really hit the spot & for just over a tenner you can't go wrong. If you're in Swaffham & hungry pop in you won't be disappointed.- Meal type

What a little gem! Called in while hiking through Swaffham, breakfast was excellent but the icing on the cake were the packed lunches they made for us, absolutely superb. That was such a highlight a couple of hours later when we stopped for lunch a few miles further up the road! Thank you so much 😍

Good food, friendly staff, nice setting. Accommodated my parents' bespoke choices without fuss. Will definitely go again. 4 stars for atmosphere as a lot of pink decoration and flowers which is not my thing but don't let that make you miss out on this place.

Although situated in a historical medieval building, bistro offers cosmopolitan atmosphere and trendy menu. It is dog friendly and there is nice cosy garden area.

Fantastic place. Unusually big and well-crafted wide menu (won 6+ awards and keep on counting). Bistro prices with restaurant-grade food.
They do:
- eat in/takeaway/delivery
- Live music events (generally Friday, Saturday, Sundays) e.g. Blues, Retro, Peaky Blinders etc
- Theme nights: e.g. Curry night, Thai night, Mexican night, Steak night etc
- Eating areas: inside (casual), upstairs (quieter & posher) and outdoors/courtyard (for the ultimate summer experience). You can also sit around the front of the building for those enjoying the general hustle and bustle of Swaffham 😉
- Take reservations for various events e.g. birthdays, weddings, anniversaries etcShelly’s is amazing for food and service. Nothing is ever too much trouble. They even offer a delivery service which is great. I can highly recommend the afternoon teas and burgers.
Beautiful place to eat 💜 a full english that has lush food and brilliant sausages 👌

We stopped off in swaffham, plenty of place to eat… We decided to eat in Shelley’s, what a brilliant choice the service was good, the food was freshly cooked & arrived on the table piping hot. It was clean a tidy & to top it all very reasonably priced. It was fairly busy when we visited, the staff coped in delivering a good service, thank you ladies!
