Elliot Hibell, the manager of the new parlour, said: "We can't wait to bring our delicious, locally made Italian range of gelato and cold treats to Norwich.

"We already have stores in Hunstanton and Thornham and we're confident that our new store at Chantry Place will be just as popular.

"Our owner, Joel, was trained in Italy by the very best and has brought his skills and knowledge about making the best Italian Gelato to Norfolk."

East Coast Gelato also sells homemade fruit lollies, gelato lollies dipped in chocolate and ‘conies’ in a range of flavours.

The store is open from 9am on Friday and will be open Monday to Saturday from 9am until 6pm and 10.00am to 4.30pm on Sunday.
