A long-running café on the outskirts of Norwich is swapping its teas and cakes for a "hearty and proper" British staple.

Hilltop Café and Stone Hill Bistro in Rackheath has launched a Sunday roast dinner service, offering tender, roasted meats served with lashings of gravy and all the trimmings.

And for the mums of Norfolk, there is an added bonus to be had next week with free drinks on Mothering Sunday (March 19).

Zoe Harnden, who took on the café with her husband Scott in 2020, said: "We are really excited to be offering our new Sunday lunch menu.

"It is the first time we have served roast dinners since taking on the business.

"We are really excited to be offering proper hearty, home-cooked roast dinners."

In August last year, the café, which has served the community of Rackheath for 40 years, launched its evening bistro service offering hearty meals into the evening alongside its breakfast and lunchtime dishes.

The Sunday roasts are served from 12.30pm to 5pm and are also available for takeaway.
