The owners of a new wine bar have said the phone didn't stop ringing with customers eager to book after they announced the opening date. 

The Blind Pig in Aylsham is just weeks away from welcoming its first guests following an extensive refurbishment.

And ahead of the opening of the Red Lion Street venue, the team have revealed a sneak peek of the interior and menu.

The business is being launched by couple Sean and Dana Portass, who have more than 20 years of experience in the hospitality trade, having run a large portfolio of restaurants, pubs and hotels. 

Mrs Portass said: "After announcing when we were opening the phone didn't stop ringing.

"We feel really chuffed that everyone in the town is as excited as we are."

As well as serving a range of wines, cocktails and more, the menu will include a range of seasonal small plates and sharing platters.

The name Blind Pig is a homage to the former café, Piggy's, that once resided in the building and also harks back to the prohibition days in 1920s America when the name was associated with illicit drinking dens. 

It is one of many recent openings in the town of Aylsham, which is fast becoming a foodie destination with new additions such as Bread Source and the fine dining restaurant Hodson & Co. 

Mrs Portass added: "It has taken a long time to get everything ready but we have worked so hard on getting everything perfect.

"We absolutely can't wait to meet everyone."

Blind Pig will open on Wednesday, June 14, and its opening times are Wednesday to Saturday 11am to 11pm and Sunday 11am to 6pm.
