A new city foodie spot which has been hinting at opening since early summer has finally announced its opening day.  

Thick Shake Lab in Sprowston Road is set to bring milkshakes, sweet treats and more to the NR3 street.

The location has proved problematic for other foodie stops which have come before it, but staff at the Thick Shake Lab think they have cracked it – with something for everyone on offer in their extensive menu.

“So, after much anticipation, we will be opening our doors on Tuesday, October 24.” 

The shop was previously home to a business called The Shake Pit, which opened in June 2022, but has been empty for much of this year.
