A pub has been granted planning permission for its outdoor bar which boasts panoramic views of the marshland coastline.

The White Horse in Brancaster Staithe launched the Marshside Bar in response to Covid restrictions in 2020.

While planning permission was not needed then due to the pandemic this is no longer the case, so the team spent the last nine months securing its approval along with extending the car park.

The Marshside Bar will reopen for the 2022 season on Friday, April 8, and will stay open until October.

It will be located on the grass area behind the car park with a smaller marquee and outdoor picnic benches.

There are also two shipping containers, one a bar and the other a seafood shack, with dishes such as platters and grilled lobster.

Rob Williamson, manager, said: "It has a friendly beach bar vibe and it is such a unique space, I can't think of anywhere like it in Norfolk."
