Colman’s Mustard Shop Norwich

[SweetKingfisher1]

When we visit Norwich we love to visit the Colman’s Mustard Shop, but reading the EDP today they are closing the shop shortly, but they are going to reopen in a new location. The new location is still unknown, but they hope to open around September. 

The reason for the move they say is the high rent, so fingers crossed it's not too far away from the centre.

That's one to add to the list when I next visit Norwich

Didn't the Mustard Shop use to be on Elm Hill? I guess they either found the rent there too high or thought business might be better where they moved to in the arcade. Whichever, I am sure visitors will find them when they move again.

When ever Kate and I go out for a meal there is always a pot of freshly made mustard in her bag , can't abide sachets of non Colmans .

even the Bridge at Acle was serving Heinz so called Hot Mustard on Saturday !!!!

must say the ham egg and chips was top drawer though

Mustard is only hot enough when it makes your nose run and your eyes water.

I once had a hotdog from a hotdog van, squeezed the mustard on liberally as usual, but unusually the hotdog van had made proper mustard, I took one bite and my eyes watered and my nose ran, I then went on to polish the whole thing off with relish, and went back and congratulated the proprietor for his unusually good mustard.

I agree Grendel.....but you omitted to say what flavor the relish was......... 

[grendel]

no relish, just bun, hotdog, onions and mustard.

Waitrose "English" is also very good. Remember though Mr. Colemans favourite saying:

" I did not make my fortune by people eating my mustard, I made it by what they leave on their plates"

The point Marina was making,was that the shop was moving and wanting to know where it will be.I believe  it is an important  part of the history  of mustard and Norwich. It has no or little support from Coleman's.It is a charity .

I was speaking to one of the assistants on the day the Royal Arcade shop was closing and there was some difficulty finding a suitable shop. She said the most promising was one in or around the Guild Hall where the people who run it already have a cafe. We are taking friends in July on the Broads and she particularly wants to visit, so hope it would have reopened but the assistant said it probably would not be till the autumn .

Coleman's itself has been part of the Unilever empire since 1995. I remember Lord Leverhulme used to present the prizes at the Awards Day of my school in the early 60s.
