Greene King are looking for new tenants, ideally a "food-led" operator who can take advantage of events and knows how to "maximize community offers". Lee Jarvis of Greene King was reported in the EDP as saying "The pub has a great reputation and sits nicely in this semi-affluent village. The perfect set-up would be a management couple with both front and back of house experience, that know Norfolk well and have experience in letting rooms and food. Local knowledge is key in the low season and experience of letting rooms will also be a major benefit.".
