The Royal Arcade is a sweet place to walk around and I popped into Colman's just out of curiosity. They have various forms of mustard and their iconic signs. I'm sure it holds a pride of place for the people from Norwich.

The shop and "museum" is located in a beautiful arcade. Once you are inside, you realise the word museum is a bit too much for what is on display. I was waiting for something more.

If you are nearby worth popping in to see a smallish display (the size of a small shop) of Colman labelled goods and historical exhibits.

Noriwch folk are proud of their Colman's heritage and the museum is far more interesting than you might expect something of this nature to be. Well worth a couple of hours.

I broke a shopping trip in Norwich to visit the Colemans museum/shop. It was great - I had to buy a big box of dry mustard - the iconic Colemans tin - as that is the mustard I always remember using!

The museum area is just one small part of the shop but never mind, your here for the mustard and there is plenty of that. They also have a wide variety of paraphenalia related to mustard from pots to aprons for you to buy. When I was young, my mother always made mustard from powder and I remember it was... More

This little shop in the arcade is ideal to pop into as they sell not just mustards, but scone mixes and an array of sauces. Not just for the tourist.

A friendly shop, packed out with everything you could possibly want in the mustard range. Always go there when I am in Norwich, to stock up.

If your a mustard lover, then this place is a little gold mine, with a variety of different mixes and unusual blends of both dry powder and wet bottled, and some also what you can find in the supermarkets (although at a slightly higher price might i say). Theres possibly something for everyone, from little trinkets of memrobilia, receipie books,... More
