Two Norfolk venues have been included in a list of the 12 best British pubs that were "saved from closure".
The Telegraph included both the Gin Trap Inn and the Brisley Bell in its ranking of pubs that came "back from the brink".
The Gin Trap Inn has stood in Ringstead for centuries but underwent a major revamp when David Lamyman took it on in 2019.
Gareth Rayner was appointed chef-patron in 2022 and the restaurant was awarded three AA Rosettes earlier this year.

The Brisley Bell, in Brisley, near Dereham, also made the list.
Former patrons Marcus Seaman and Amelia Nicholson decided to take on the venue in 2017 and spent a year refurbishing it.
Coincidentally, during lockdown, Mr Seaman researched his family tree and discovered his great, great, great grandfather, Robert Englebright, had been publican at the very same pub from 1851 to 1882.
The Bell has won a string of awards under its new ownership, including the title of Great British Pub of the Year at the Great British Pub Awards in 2021.
