A popular north Norfolk pub is set to re-open this weekend after a major refurbishment.

The White Horse, on West Street in Cromer, is now being run by Jay and Kelly Ali, who own the nearby Masala Twist restaurant. 

The couple are reopening the pub as a bar, hotel and Turkish restaurant. 

They said they want to "take away the traditional pub feel" of the White Horse and do something different.

The premises has been fitted with a new bar that will welcome locals back on Friday, August 2. 

The restaurant is due to open a week later.

The White Horse is owned by Stonegate Group - the largest pub company in the UK, with more than 4,500 sites. 

Mr and Ms Ali took over the pub in February, replacing former landlord Paul Vials, who had only reopened The White Horse a fortnight previously after taking on the pub in December last year. 

At the time, Mr Vials claimed he felt “used” by the pub chain after having his tenancy terminated less than two weeks after reopening.
