Norfolk Terrier
2 Anna Gurney Close, Thetford, Norfolk, IP24 1TA
INVESTMENT PLANNED IN 2021
The Norfolk Terrier has been closed for some time and we will be investing a significant sum of money into a refurbishment scheme, which transform it into a community pub offering family friendly dining and a fantastic drinking offer. The locals bar will be transformed into a light, bright games room with new timber flooring and high level fixed seating. It will provide traditional pub games such as darts and pool, have plenty of TVs on which to watch sport, and it will have direct access to an enclosed, external smoking area. The dining side of the pub will be accessed by an enhanced side entrance with a new internal lobby. On entering, the customer will be faced with a stunning new carvery and dispense bar within a large, airy space, broken up with decorative screens. A combination of fixed seating booths and loose furniture ensures the area will be suitable for families and groups of all sizes. The area will be stylishly decorated with new floor finishes and carpets, bright colours and wall murals featuring historic RAF Honington. Doors will open onto a new patio with a covered pergola, giving the opportunity to increase dining capacity into the evenings and throughout more of the year

Location
Thetford is a market town and civil parish in the Breckland district of Norfolk. It is on the A11 road between Norwich and London, just east of Thetford Forest. After World War II, Thetford became an "overspill town", taking people from London, as a result of which its population increased substantially. Thetford railway station is served by the Breckland line and is one of the best surviving pieces of 19th century railway architecture in East Anglia.
