A 17th-century village pub in north Norfolk has announced it is closing its doors.

The Blue Boar Inn, in Great Ryburgh, is closing as the business "is no longer viable".

The closure was announced on Facebook with a post that said: "It is with deep regret The Blue Boar Inn will be closing its doors for the last time on Friday, February 24.

"Due to current climate conditions, the business is no longer viable."

The pub is offering half-price drinks until the doors close.

The traditional pub serves real ales, pub food classics and Sunday roasts. 

It comes as pubs across the UK are facing higher costs for alcohol and food as well as the rise in energy bills and challenges due to the ongoing cost of living crisis.

Earlier this month, the Green Dragon in Wymondham closed its doors after trying "desperately to keep battling through".

The Lion in Somerton, Darby's Freehouse & Restaurant in Swanton Morley and Frank's Bar in Norwich all closed their doors in January.
