A village pub reopened with new owners today.

Dan and Claire Smethurst are welcoming customers to The King of Hearts in West Walton.

The couple previously ran Route 47 American Steakhouse and Grill in Thorney.

However, they made the decision to leave that premises due to rising business costs.

Claire Smethurst said: "It’s good to finally be open.

"We are looking forward to seeing everyone and being part of the village."

Ahead of opening at the new location, they auctioned off a range of music and sport memorabilia that had been on display at Route 47 .
