A newly-refurbished coastal pub has got the go-ahead for a new bakery, store and coffee shop.
West Norfolk Council has agreed plans for former barns to be converted at the White Horse Inn at Holme, near Hunstanton.
The pub reopened in June after being bought and modernised by the Anglian Country Inns (ACI) group, which also owns the White Horse and Jolly Sailors at nearby Brancaster and Brancaster Staithe.
"The main barn will remain open up to the roof to form the coffee shop, which connects with the new bakery area which will be within the smaller barn," ACI said in a planning statement.
"The last section of barn is retained as a storage area and incorporates a disabled toilet for use by customers of the coffee shop and pub."
Plans include a timber decking area shaded by a large parasol.
Two supporters said the new facility would be a welcome addition to the village, which does not currently have a shop.
It will also create two full-time and two part-time jobs.
