I didn’t have a sweet tooth when I was a kid, I’m making up for lost time now! Shops like these are dangerous, dangerously good that is… You see unless you are an obsessive, and I am a recovering obsessive. You cannot go wrong with ye olde sweet shop me hearties!!! Why? Well I’ll tell ya’all. You see to this shop, I cometh and I get excited. eth… and I buyeth in plentiful supplyeth. I begin my merry journey indulgingeth in sweet pleasures.(ok enough of that) Then there comes a point when you’ve had so much you feel a bit sick. That is the point of no return, because you never want to set foot in that shop again. Not for a while anyway. The place is… well…It is just a trip down memory lane really as they stock candy you remember from the youthful days of baggy clothing days when boybands ruled the roost, and you’d come home to watch Andy peters and Ed the duck. Those were innocent day indeed, and this is a innocent shop selling innocent sweets that will give you diabetes in 20 years or so, but until then at least you can be happy chappy. So why not, go crazy!!!

This is a beautiful little shop, stocking a huge range of the more old fashioned sweets. Rhubarb and Custard, Aniseed Balls, Flying Saucers, Fizzy laces, cough candy, cinder toffee, wine gums, snowies, chocolate limes, lemon sherbets… but to name just a few. The sweets are arranged in rows of jars and look so tempting and tasty you will be drooling as you attempt to order. The staff here are lovely and the seem to enjoy their job. The sweets are inexpensive and of a very high quality. A while back I got a little obsessed with the place and had to ban myself but i think I may have to return soon.

Yummy yummy, someone save my teeth please. I have such a sweet tooth that walking into a store like this leaves my purse practically empty. Jars of wine gums, flying saucers, strawbs, fizzy laces, snakes… the list is endless. My eyes were agape at the wonderment before me. Prices were also ridiculously low. So low that like an excited child I left with practically two bags full of sweets. Staff were friendly and all there stock seemed hygienically cared for. Hurray for Ye Olde Sweet Shop, a touch of traditional combined with all the most recent confectionery advancements leads to a winning combination!
