If you come here expecting a museum you'll be disappointed as it's more of a shop with a display cabinet in each corner. The shop sells lots of cool gifts though. I particularly liked some of the products based on retro adverts and as you would expect there is a huge variety of mustards to purchase. More

Came across this by chance when in the Royal Arcade. Very informative with regards the business origins, plus as you would expect the usual merchandise plus a wide selection of mustards. More

It's more shop than museum for sure, but for condiment lovers it's nevertheless a real treat. Especially if you like hot sauce... you must try the Norfolk Caribbean Heat Wave and, if you're even bolder, the Death Sauce (as you guessed, made and bottled right here in Norfolk). My fiancee and I are hot-sauce fiends and have tried it all... More
