A pub named the best in Norfolk earlier this year is now vying to be named the top watering hole in the entire UK. 

The Kings Head in Letheringsett, on the outskirts of Holt, was announced as the county winner for the National Pub and Bar Awards 2023 in April.

All 94 county winners from across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland will head to the grand final, where the UK's best will be announced.
