A family-run café has finally reopened its doors after being forced to close for months as it struggled with rising energy bills.

The affordable establishment is a staple in the town and regularly attracts people from other towns and villages in Norfolk.
Regular customer Julie Adcock said: "The owners of Swaffham Café have always been a kind and hardworking family.

"The café is a real asset to Swaffham and a lifeline to so many people in the local community."
