Norfolk pub, named after The King, hoping to take advantage of royal celebrations
King Charles the 3rd, based in Sporle got it's new name in January
A pub in West Norfolk, which is thought to be the first to be named after the king, is hoping to take advantage of the upcoming bank holiday
King Charles the 3rd, based in Sporle got it's new name in January, after being taken over by a group of local people.
"I'd say 99% of people are happy with the name change"
"It was one of the other directors of the consortium who suggested changing the name.
We had to get in touch with the Lord Lieutenant's office, they then put us onto the cabinet office who eventually told us they were happy for us to use the name".
"Local people here have all been very very supportive of us from the first day. Volunteers have helped to get the pub up and running, which is a very good boost for us.
Everyone is pleased that the pub is up and running again. I'd say 99% of people are happy with the name change."
"It'll no doubt be a busy day for us all"
"On Saturday we have a BBQ on from midday, as well as live music. We then have a band inside from mid to late evening, so it'll no doubt be a busy day for us all".
