One of Great Yarmouth's most popular restaurants is re-opening with new faces at the helm.
The Courtyard closed at the end of last month, but is being taken over by Gail Smith and Bruno Francisco of Luck, Lust, Liquor, and Grinds, at Peggotty's Lounge in King Street.
Ms Smith said as a regular diner she was saddened to see the compact restaurant with only a handful of tables close its doors.
Having made a few changes to the decor fans of The Courtyard can expect the same authentic Italian menu, but with a few tweaks.
A minor name-change means it will be known simply as Courtyard.
Ms Smith said: "We have tried not to change it too much and want to keep that nod to Katy and David for all their hard work. It still sits at number three on Tripadvisor in the Yarmouth and Gorleston area and has a loyal customer following. We hope we can do them proud."
The restaurant will re-open on Friday. It will usually open from Thursday to Sunday but will be helping couples to celebrate Valentine's Day on Monday.
