A Great Yarmouth pub popular with real ale lovers says it is still open for business after the premises sold at an auction.
The Mariners Tavern in Howard Street South sold for auction for £130,000 at an auction last month.
A statement from the pub says it is still open, but the last day for its current team will be on October 28.
It is said the new owners will then continue its real ale ethos.

"The pub has been sold, and the new owners intend to continue as a real ale pub."
The pub first opened in the 1830s and in 2010 it bagged the Norwich and Norfolk Campaign for Real Ale's branch pub of the year award.
