Pub owners ended a "whirlwind week" on a high after returning home from an awards ceremony to receive their first AA rosette.
The Angel at Watlington, between Downham Market and King's Lynn, was taken on by couple Emily Phipps and chef Richard Crouch in 2018 and it was given a huge refurbishment.
With a big focus on local and seasonal produce, it has already picked up a whole host of awards and accolades.
On Tuesday this week, the team attended the Great British Pub Awards in Manchester and although they didn't scoop the top prize were in the top six for both the best pub for food and best pub chef categories.
They returned home on Wednesday and then on Thursday had a surprise visit from an AA inspector, who awarded them their first rosette for culinary excellence.
Ms Phipps said: "It has been a whirlwind of a week and both of us cried like babies - it means everything to us and the team.
"We want to get to two rosettes next but the most important thing is that our customers enjoy our food and keep coming back."
