A Wetherspoons pub on the coast is hoping to open its beer garden for longer hours.

The William Adams, on High Street in Gorleston, has applied to Great Yarmouth Borough Council (GYBC) to open its beer garden between the hours 8am and 11pm.

Currently, it can open until 9pm.

A decision on the bid is expected by March 9.

The William Adams, named after the legendary lifesaver who rescued 140 people from drowning at Gorleston beach, opened in March 2018 on the site of a former motor garage.

The development cost £2.2m.

The site was also once home to a Methodist chapel which stood there in various forms for 150 years.

Last year, the pub won acclaim for the quality and standards of its toilets in the Loo of the Year Awards 2022.
