Could you run this Roughton pub?
Are you looking to take on an established and popular pub on the main road between Norwich and Cromer, just six miles from the picturesque coast of North Norfolk? Look no further than the New Inn.
Pub and Location
The New Inn is a charming and well-established pub that has been a beloved fixture of the community for several years. Long-serving proprietors are now ready to pass the torch to a talented and enthusiastic publican who can continue to make this historic venue thrive. Subject to approval, we have plans to refresh the internal and external spaces and update the signage scheme. You can view our proposed works in the gallery below.
The New Inn is an attractive brick and flint building that stands proudly along the roadside, offering a warm and inviting atmosphere. The pub is set in a convenient location, complete with a spacious car park, a charming beer garden, and a cosy patio area. These outdoor spaces provide the perfect setting for enjoying a refreshing pint or a leisurely meal in the fresh air.
Step inside to discover a well-appointed interior that caters to all tastes. The front public bar area is a lively hub where locals and visitors alike can gather for a drink and a chat. The rear lounge offers a more relaxed atmosphere, perfect for those looking to unwind. For a more formal dining experience, the separate barn-style restaurant area is available, complete with the flexibility to host private parties and functions.
Double doors lead out to a decked seating area, which seamlessly connects to a large beer garden. This secluded setting, adorned with picnic tables, is an idyllic spot for enjoying the serene countryside and the company of friends and family.
The New Inn has a good-sized commercial kitchen and ample storage space to the rear. This ensures that you can offer a wide range of delicious dishes and drinks, keeping your customers coming back for more.
Roughton is a rural village close to the major attractions of North Norfolk, including the stunning Blickling Hall and the Felbrigg Estate, both managed by the National Trust. The nearby beaches of Cromer and Sheringham, as well as the picturesque Norfolk Broads, make this area a popular destination for tourists and locals alike.
