Micropubs are smaller than regular watering holes, are usually based in a single room and have a focus upon serving cask ales rather than spirits or lager. The proposed name for the pub, The Malt and Mardle, has been chosen to reflect ale – their "star product" – and the word from the Norfolk dialect meaning 'to chat or gossip'. If successful in their bid, the company plans to create three jobs, one full-time and two part-time. The application requests that the micropub is permitted to open between 2pm and 11pm on weekdays and from midday to 11pm on Saturdays and Sundays.
