A butchers famed across Norfolk for its superb range of meat and delicious baguettes is set to close.

Steven Smith Quality Meats will trade for the last time on Watton High Street this Saturday, July 10.

The family-run business is considered by many to be a Watton institution, having been in the centre of town for several decades.

But Mr Smith has opted to hang up his apron and enjoy a well-earned retirement, signalling the firm's closure.

The news will come as a disappoint to hundreds of customers, some of whom were seen queuing along the High Street at the weekend.

For years, people have flocked from miles around on Saturdays and during their lunch breaks for a taste of their mouthwatering hot baguettes.

Many regulars have taken to social media, saying the "delicious" food would be "sadly missed".

It leaves the town with just one remaining butchers, Watton Traditional Butchers, run by Michael Brooks just a few doors down the road.
