Five cafés are in the running to be named the best in Norfolk.

Half a million people voted in the first round of the Muddy Awards Finals, which is held by Muddy Stilettos, and five finalists in a variety of different categories were shortlisted in the search to find a regional winner.

Each regional winner will then be considered for the first-ever National Muddy Awards to find the "best of the best" across 28 counties.
