A new family-run business is seeking a premises license to allow it to sell locally sourced spirits, wines, beers and ciders.

Sam Lowe only opened his new store, Thistle & Tide, on Cromer high street, earlier this summer and now wants to expand the range of stock he can offer.

The store is located in a former bank and the old North Norfolk News office.

Mr Lowe launched the business with his partner and son.

Currently, it sells garden and homeware items and a wide range of local produce.

Alongside plans to sell locally sourced drinks, the family wish to extend opening hours to have more flexibility throughout the season.  

The new license would enable the sale of the best of Norfolk’s beverages Monday to Saturday 9am to 5.30pm and 9.30am to 4.30pm on Sundays.
