Norfolk pub and hotel operator, Flying Kiwi Inns, which currently operates 5 sites in Norfolk, has announced it has acquired the Earlham Arms in Earlham Road, Norwich.
The pub has been closed since the beginning of the year, only 5 months into it trading as the Earlham Arms- it was previously known as The Fountain, The Schoolhouse and The Pickwick.
This small yet ever growing group is headed up by Chef Chris Coubrough, who appears in ITV’s Coastal Kitchen. He has said “We have taken on the lease at the pub, and it will be the first Flying Kiwi Inn in Norwich. The opening date is flexible but it will be some time next month. Builders have started work at the site and we will spending about £100,000 on it to make it look like a Flying Kiwi Inn. The food served will not be quite as ‘seafoody’ as our inns on the coast, and there will be a larger range of beers.”
