Dunes Riverside Cafe – Acle

We popped in here for breakfast.It was freezing cold,yes it was a miserable day but all they had was one blow heater.We ordered the breakfast which was way overpriced.The plates were cold along with the food,we should have sent it back but couldn't wait to get out of there,apart from the waitress they were to busy discussing their holidays with another couple, ignoring the other customers,shame as it sits by the river and could be a little gem.

Shame they were short-staffed when I went. But a cosy place on the river, very quaint inside

Mixed review here. I can’t lie, when I was confronted with the “owner”, I wanted to leave immediately. He made me feel so uncomfortable and walked around as if he was better than everyone. If my mother hadn’t of already paid for our breakfast, I would have left and gone to McDonalds. Of which, I would of had better service… Anyway, I can’t say the same for the staff, because they were lovely and really helpful. We had to wait quite a while for our breakfast, which they did warn us about. So, I wasn’t too bothered. Then a young chap, then gave us complimentary drinks while we were waiting. Which was obviously very nice. I think considering the older man made me feel that uncomfortable, that I had to go outside to sort myself out, maybe he would be better off letting the staff take care of it all… Oh, and you need to serve your full English breakfast with beans. And maybe swap the fresh tomatoes for plum tomatoes? Or at least give customers a choice. Also, my fried egg wasn’t cooked. Again, perhaps give customers a choice of different eggs such as; scrambled, poached or fried. And the place is full of Karen’s that need to mind their own business. And the old man needs to stay at home

Very overpriced compared to other cafes nearby. The biggest issue I have is the total incompetence of the chef. Please don’t come here if you have plans for the rest of the day - it took over an hour to get a bacon roll! I kid you not. I believe they are only able to cook using a small candle given the time it takes. Absolute joke. I ordered breakfast but TBH it’s more likely to be lunch after all the time I have been waiting!

Tasty drinks, huge sweet treats and a lovely view of the river. What else do you need?
