A popular Norfolk pub suffered a fire early on Saturday which caused major damage .
The incident at the Windmill Inn in Necton, near Swaffham, is the second damaging event to hit the pub in less than a year.
In August 2020, the inn had experienced a serious internal flood when a pipe burst, leaving its restaurant and pool room in a damaged state until November.
In a Facebook post on behalf of the pub, it said: “It is with great sadness that The Windmill has unfortunately had another strike of bad luck. This morning we woke to a fire in the pub kitchen. Unfortunately this has caused major damage, therefore completely unusable.
