Great beers, food and wildlife

Situated in the heart of Norfolk, one of the most beautiful counties in the United Kingdom, the King's Head in Hethersett re opened for business in April 2021. This large yet cosy pub has been around for about 300 years and has plenty of character to show for it. 

This is a community based grassroots project to help nature recover, in our local pub garden!

Lead by biologist and conservationist Tiffany Wallace, Nature's Neighbours encompasses the local community, and has taken shape over the last year thanks to our volunteers who form our most valued team and Justin Harvey, landlord of the King's Head, Hethersett, who has pledged a large portion of the land to nature as part of Wild East's movement for nature restoration.

This project aims to protect existing wildlife and create features which will welcome wildlife and increase biodiversity.

The project includes educating the public on the value of native species, running "Moth mornings" and other identification days, nature trails, wildlife workshop days, and tours to teach the public including young people to connect with nature.

Thanks to you all, we have built our pond which is already attracting native species & more wildlife. We have built bird houses, and have received a hedgehog house and squirrel post which were handmade for us. We have two resident hedgehogs, a Sparrow Hawk pair and offspring among our many birds (which also include blue tits, robins, black caps, finches and more). Our site consists of a pond area, hedgehog hotel, woodland scrub, wildflower meadow, vegetable and herb companion area, and compost area.
