The Maltsters pub in Ranworth has closed for now to undergo £350,000 of investment with its leading pub company Punch Pubs & Co.

The renovation work will see the creation of a new on-site fish and chip shop, overhaul of the kitchen and a revamped front patio.

Mark Wilson, who has run the Maltsters since March 2024 with his partner Amy, said: "We've had a very successful first two years here in Ranworth.

"And with the support and recent investment from Punch Pubs & Co, we look forward to implementing a winning recipe for years to come."

The front patio will be decked with new furniture and a redesigned layout which has been created with the help of renowned garden designer Gardening with Ish.

A spokesman for Punch Pubs & Co said: "Much of the investment will focus on behind-the-scenes upgrades, focusing on future-proofing the pub and setting it up for long-term success.

"The Maltsters will relaunch with a brand-new menu featuring decadent pub classics as well as the addition of an on-site fish and chip shop to replace the existing pizza shack.

"Although the temporary closure may disappoint regulars, the improvements promise to make their return all the sweeter."

The new fish and chip shop is set to open on April 14.
