Cheers! The United Kingdom pavilion at World Showcase is bursting with treats for all the senses, from the sight of a variety of merchandise to the sounds of the British Invasion, but don't forget about the tastes that can be enjoyed here.
Along the promenade is the Yorkshire County Fish Shop, featuring Harry Ramsden's famous fish and chips. Ramsden's, an Operating Participant in this location, is perhaps the best known fish and chips brand in the world. The details on the sign pay tribute to where it all began. Ramsden opened his first shop in Guiseley, Yorkshire in 1928. (In this case, that year is not used to refer to the beginnings of Mickey Mouse. It turns out there were lots of other things happening in the world at the time. Go figure!)
Nearby is the Rose & Crown Pub. As you walk around and through the Rose & Crown, you might notice the design style of the building changes. That's because it's actually an amalgam of four different pub styles from across the U.K. - Dickensian, City Street, Waterfront and Provincial.
By the way, the Latin on the pub's marquee below translates as "Leisure with Dignity." (Although, I'm sure the dignity part is inversely proportional to the number of pints imbibed within.)
For the teetotalers in the group, there's the Tea Caddy. This quaint shop is housed in a structure inspired by Anne Hathaway's family cottage in Stratford-upon-Avon. (That's the William Shakespeare's wife Anne Hathaway, not the Princess Diaries Anne Hathaway.) Inside is a wide selection of teas and tea paraphernalia from sponsor Twinings Tea. The 1706 date on the sign refers to the opening of the original Twinings tea room in London.
Overlooking Britannia Square at the rear of the pavilion are residential structures, including these row houses inspired by set designs for Mary Poppins. A bit of Cherry Tree Lane at Epcot, perhaps?
