About the Pub

We are delighted to offer this superbly presented character pub with B&B premises. The Kings Head is a tranquil food pub located in the historic town of Acle on the River Bure, Norwich. This is an excellent opportunity for a focussed and experienced publican to acquire a 200 brewer's barrels a year pub, with a solid reputation for quality home cooked food. The main entrance lobby leads to the public bar with its solid wood floor, large red brick fire place and seating for up to 20 people. The carpeted lounge/restaurant area with wood panelled walls has room for approximately 30 covers. These spaces are dominated by the hardwood, subtly stained and varnished bar service area that stretches 15 meters throughout the building.

The fully equipped trade kitchen has easy access to the restaurant and lounge areas.

Regional Manager's Thoughts

This Kings Head is a genuine and exciting prospect for a publican with experience of running a destination food pub with letting accommodation. This business offers four superb letting rooms, popular with holidaymakers and business travellers alike. We are looking for a publican to effectively market and revitalise the business and fully utilise all of the different income streams that the Kings Head offers. Located in a lovely ‘Broads’ village the pub would benefit from a focused marketing strategy to attract destination food trade and B&B customers, who visit this beautiful part of the country throughout the year.

Surrounding Area

The Kings Head is 15 minutes from the holiday camps and beaches of Great Yarmouth and 25 minutes from historic city of Norwich. This magnificent building is centrally located in the vibrant community of Acle and has been a key staging post for boating holidays on the Broads and remains a centre of pilgrimage for the ramblers, birdwatchers, cyclists, shooting parties and fishermen that flock to this beautiful part of the country all year round.
