A café in north Norfolk is closing this weekend after 17 years so you need to be quick if you still want to visit. 

Wiveton Hall is a 17th-century Jacobean manor house owned by Desmond MacCarthy, who starred in the BBC Two documentary Normal For Norfolk.

It has been in his family since 1944 when the house and farmland were sold to his grandfather Captain Dick Buxton.

Mr MacCarthy diversified by opening a café and a farm and gift shop at the site in 2007.

In 2011, celebrity chef Delia Smith said it served Britain's best food and the Princess of Wales and her son Prince George have also visited.

At the start of October, Mr MacCarthy announced plans to close the café and shop amid economic pressures.
