The Horse and Groom Hotel and attached Jasminum Restaurant in Rollesby shut suddenly in April, surprising many of the village's residents.

It ceased trading on April 21 and is now up for sale with East Commercial for £975,000.

The particulars describe it as a pub/restaurant (80 covers) and motel, 21 guest bedrooms (20 en-suite) within landscaped grounds and a car park (40 spaces).

It is described as having "a long and prominent frontage to the A149."

The restaurant served Chinese, Thai, and English food and provided a takeaway service to locals and visitors alike.
