They haven t really considered if it s going to rain, said Steve Munson, landlord at the Gull Inn at Framingham Pigot. There will be a lot of businesses that look at the weather in April and think it s not worth putting up a gazebo in the wind and the rain - a lot of places will make the decision to stay closed until it warms up. The game changer is that two households can mix - albeit outdoors. If you can have two couples sitting down for dinner outside that s when you start seeing the revenue. What makes me nervous is that currently we haven t got much news on the extension of financial support and we may be waiting until the budget to hear more about that.

From tripadvisor to trustpilot, people love checking what other people think. But what if you could get a recommendation from the Queen herself?
Actually you can, and Norfolk has more Royal Warrants than any other county in the country. The royal seal of approval has been around for more than 500 years and can be awarded by the Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh or the Prince of Wales. More than 700 businesses which supply goods or services to royal households across the UK have a Royal Warrant - 44 of them in Norfolk.

Pubs and restaurants across Norfolk have announced they will be closing their doors for the foreseeable future with tier two restrictions not making opening worth their while.
Norwich s Assembly House announced last week that it would close throughout January, and has now been followed by city pubs the Duke of Wellington, the Trafford Arms and The Grove hotel and restaurant in Cromer.
The Station Smokehouse at Hoveton has also announced it will close for a few days a week until it can reopen fully under tier one rules.
