Riverside pub that has been closed for four years to reopen
A riverside pub that has been closed for four years is reopening under new management.
The Jenyns Arms is nestled beside the River Great Ouse at Denver Sluice near Downham Market and has been closed since 2021.
Since its closure, the property has undergone renovation works that included a new roof, electrical works and replastering.
Property adviser, Christie & Co, has now confirmed that a sale has been completed and local hospitality operator Sean Whyman will be taking on the venue.
Mr Whyman has a longstanding connection with the pub and the surrounding area and aims to honour its heritage.

He hopes to reintroduce it as a welcoming hub for locals, boaters and visitors alike.
"We are thrilled to be reopening the Jenyns Arms," Mr Whyman said. "It's a place with real character and history.
"We are looking forward to bringing it back to life with great food, a warm atmosphere and a strong connection to the community."
The reopening is expected to take place in the coming months.
