Perched on the A149 in one of west Norfolk’s busiest coastal villages, Thornham Deli has become a destination in its own right for holidaymakers and hungry locals alike.

Inside, shelves are stacked with chutneys, biscuits and store-cupboard treats, while the counter offers salads, savoury bakes and generous sandwiches that suit everything from a post‑beach lunch to a quick coffee stop.

With a café, lifestyle store and outside seating, it’s the sort of place where popping in "just for bread" easily turns into a leisurely hour of browsing.

Right on the quay at Wells-next-the-Sea, Wells Deli combines one of the best views in town with an easygoing café‑deli offer.

Open daily from breakfast through mid‑afternoon, it serves light lunches, cakes and hot drinks, with a counter of pastries and bakes that works as well for windswept walkers as it does for families fresh off the beach.

A small but thoughtful selection of local products to take home gives it that traditional seaside‑deli feel, where you can sit in with a coffee while eyeing up something for supper.
