Lowtide Cromer opens on promenade with smoothies and crêpes

Gavin Haggart, 46, and Bertie Anderson-Haggart, 43, have opened Lowtide Cromer in the north Norfolk town as they wanted to “add on all the cool places opening up in Cromer”.

The couple started the business during lockdown as a clothing brand but were looking to “pivot into food” when the tender came out for a seafront vendor.

The van is located just a stone's throw from the popular beach. It has tables and chairs for customers to enjoy eating and drinking on the promenade.

Mr Haggart, who previously managed bars in London, said: "We have been looking at cafés in Cromer for a while, with the company wanting to pivot into food. 

"We want to add a little extra health element to Cromer, with the juices being super healthy.

"The response has been really positive - it is something slightly different to chips and ice cream.

"It is a lovely spot - and great for the sunsets. We want to add on to all the cool places opening up in Cromer."

The couple sell cold press juices feature beetroot, carrot, ginger and fruits, while crêpes feature sweet and savoury options at £4 to £5.50, as well as vegan options.

Lowtide Cromer is currently open Friday to Sunday, 11am to 6pm, plus bank holidays, with plans to open seven days a week in peak season, until October half term.
