The new tenants at a historic pub in a Norfolk village are taking it back to its traditional roots.

Andy and Izzy Robinson have taken on The Black Lion in Little Walsingham, near Wells-next-the-Sea, which also boasts six en-suite bedrooms.

The couple has many years of experience in the hospitality industry, with Mr Robinson as a chef and Mrs Robinson in front-of-house as a manager.

Mr and Mrs Robinson have also run The Carpenters Arms in Wighton since 2018, with both premises owned by Phil Parker. 

Mr Robinson said: "While the two pubs are less than 10 minutes drive apart they cater for two different areas - Walsingham is a more inland community and Wighton feels more coastal.

"We are giving The Black Lion a refurbishment to give it a more traditional feel."
