Congratulations to Yesterday's World which has won the accolade of best tea shop in Great Yarmouth and surrounding area at the GYTA awards.
When you think of the hundreds of cafes and tea shops along that stretch of coastline and in Yarmouth itself that was no mean feat. In addition to the tea shop, which is in the style of J Lyons & Co with staff dressed in costume (they were called Nippies in the J Lyons days) Yesterday's World hosts an extraordinary collection of British social history memorabilia. It's all laid out in a way which makes you feel like you're walking back in time complete with street scenes, village greens and a life-size steam railway.
They've also decided to stick to yesterday's prices for entry this year to make sure lots of families are able to enjoy the experience.
Going back to the tea shop, the award co-incides with the launch of their afternoon tea service which is really top notch, with a variety of cakes and sandwiches and of course real clotted cream on the scones. If you combine afternoon tea with a visit to the rest of Yesterday's World the entry price is discounted. Combined with a walk along the seafront you have a top-notch day out without it costing the earth.
The Radio Norfolk team stopped in to interview manager Ian Dickinson last week and were in raptures in the traditional sweet shop pointing out all the sweets on sale. Some of the presenters seemed familiar with from their younger days. We won't let on which presenters remembered them, but we suspect they might be making a return visit very soon to stock up!
