Chalk And Cheese

For lunch, we ordered a beef and onion sandwich, a burger, ginger pudding, and custard. The food was delicious and was served relatively quickly considering it was made to order. The coffee was also excellent, one of the best I've had. The total bill came to £23 for two meals, one dessert, and four drinks, which I found to be reasonable given the high quality of the food and the charming ambiance. The only downside was the lack of baby changing facilities, although they did have high chairs available for children. The restaurant also has a small shop on-site offering a mix of local and typical convenience store items, as well as a quaint little attached antiques shop that is worth exploring.

My family and I have dined at Chalk and Cheese multiple times for dinner and it has always been a delightful experience. The restaurant is friendly, welcoming, and quirky, with a charming host and hostess Andrew and Bridget. The food is always delicious and great value for money, whether dining as a couple or as a family. They have no problem accommodating vegetarians and always offer custard with dessert. Their wine selection is top-notch as well. We celebrated New Year's Eve 2012 at Chalk and Cheese with a fantastic meal, live music, and champagne at midnight – definitely worth the slight hangover the next morning! It's a gem of a place in Shouldham and we hope it doesn't become too popular. PS: Don't forget to check out their shop and gallery!

We often visit Chalk and Cheese and have always been delighted with our experience. The atmosphere alone is a reason to visit, with a wide variety of drinks and simple, high-quality food that never disappoints. Andrew and Bridget, the hosts, are dedicated to providing a wonderful dining experience for all patrons. The food has an Italian influence, often utilizing ingredients sourced from Andrew's trips to Italy and paired with excellent local produce. The menu choices may seem basic, but the flavors are truly exceptional. The drinks selection is unique, featuring beers from Elgoods brewery, sloe gins, quality wines, and Scottish whiskeys. Whether enjoying a quiet coffee by the fire, a romantic meal, a family lunch, or a lively night out with friends, Chalk and Cheese always impresses. This establishment should be proud of the exceptional service it provides to the village of Shouldham. Serving as a restaurant, bar, village shop, art gallery, and historic building, Chalk and Cheese offers a truly unique and memorable experience that will stay with you forever.

What a fantastic quaint B&B. The room was comfortable, warm, and had everything we needed. Cups etc were replenished and milk and water was available in a fridge. The owners were lovely very friendly and extremely helpful in organising taxis, food and catering to our every need- including early check in, allergies etc. We really appreciated it. Would definitely stay in this quirky, friendly place again.

We stayed here just overnight and were pleased to find we had been upgraded. We stayed in the workshop which was very cosy and beautifully furnished. I loved the bed. Our breakfast was cooked to order and all the food was of the best quality. Thank you for a lovely stay
