An award-winning cocktail bar which serves more than 190 rums is expanding and moving to a new location.
The Rusty Krab Rum Shop and Bar closed its doors in King's Lynn's Tower Street on August 1 and will reopen at its new home in Purfleet Street on August 13.
The business began when married couple Joe and Lisa Melton opened an upcycled outdoor bar to showcase Mr Melton's extensive personal rum collection.

When lockdown hit in 2020, they built a larger shed bar to enjoy with family and opened their official Tower Street bar in 2022.
Reflecting on their journey so far, Mrs Melton said: "We started during the lockdowns and it has really been a hard journey - but so rewarding too.
"Along the way, we have won awards for our bar and for three of our rums as well as being finalists in national awards.

"We are just so overwhelmed by it all and our customers."
She added they outgrew Tower Street more than a year ago and said the move to Purfleet Street will enable them to give more to their customers.
As well as even more types of rum, the new spot will offer tea, coffee, cake and nibbles.
There will also be a meeting space for businesses and several events, beginning with their official opening party on August 17.
