Our Story

About

A small cafe in a listed rotunda. A park, eighty acres wide.

Chapter one

The rotunda.

The Eaton Park Cafe sits inside the grade II listed rotunda at the heart of one of Norwich's most loved green spaces. Since 2016, we have served the park, its dog walkers, its Saturday runners, and the people who just need five minutes and a flat white.

Chapter two

The kitchen.

Sister cafe to The Bicycle Shop in the Norwich Lanes. The same care for what we serve, the same fondness for local suppliers. Breakfast baps until eleven-thirty, cakes fresh from the oven, and our Black Pudding Hash, once featured in Nigella Lawson's At My Table.

Chapter three

The park.

Eighty acres in the south of Norwich. Formal gardens, a miniature railway, tennis, a boating lake, and long walks. We are here for the bit in between.
