Pub shuts for 10 days - a few days after reopening

A Norfolk village pub which reopened three weeks ago after nine years of being closed has shut down again temporarily.

It stated the Suffield Arms would be closed for 10 days 'due to unforseen circumstances'.

The Suffield Arms, bought by Mr Braka in 2016, reopened on June 28. It offers three rooms with a traditional bar, a tapas bar and a cocktail bar.

The Suffield Arms posted: "Due to unforeseen circumstances we will be closing our doors for the next 10 days with immediate effect.

"In the meantime enjoy the glorious sunshine and we look forward to serving you cocktails and tapas when we reopen."
