Couple take on The Dun Cow pub in Salthouse and reveal plans

A pub on the Norfolk coast, described as a "local gem" in The Good Food Guide, is under new management.

Dan Goff recently left The Dun Cow in Salthouse, near Holt, after 15 years at the helm and it has been taken on by couple Kate and Matt Starling.

Their children Ella, Max and Mia have all worked there in recent years.

The Dun Cow holds a special place in their hearts as Mr Starling's mum and stepdad Kay and Ginger Groom ran it for 15 years before Mr Goff.

Mr Groom died of cancer last November and three days later Mrs Groom passed away suddenly.

Mrs Starling said: "We got married at the pub 20 years ago and after losing Matt's mum and stepdad it was meant to be when the opportunity came up."

They have expanded the kitchen team and will be introducing fresh homemade pasta dishes and more vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options.

She added: "We are also planning to offer hire for weddings, christenings and other events."

The Dun Cow is open from 11.45am to 11pm seven days a week.
