Homely Fakenham pub, the Rampant Horse, has reopened following a huge six-figure investment, creating three new jobs in the local community.
Situated on Queens Road, the Rampant Horse has been serving the people of Fakenham since the 1830s, with the pub’s name residing from the area’s rich horse racing history.

Externally, the pub boasts new decorations with brand-new signage, set to increase the pub’s curb appeal, making a trip to the Rampant Horse look more tempting than ever!
One of the highlights of the investments is the pub’s new outdoor drinking area, which provides one of the best outdoor drinking experiences in the sun as Fakenham locals are set to make the most of this garden before the colder months set in.
To further enhance the sports’ viewing experience, the Rampant Horse has upgraded its amenities with new Sky Q boxes, allowing it to show Sky, Sky Sports+, TNT Sports, Premier Sports, and even sport on Amazon Prime.
As part of the investment, the selection of HD TVs mean guests can now enjoy multiple matches or different sports simultaneously, making it to the go-to spot for sport in the area, with locals watching the beginning of the new Premier League season.
The pub’s new decor creates a warmer atmosphere, while the bar is equipped with a new range of great-quality beers, at even better prices.
The refurbishment also includes a new pub sports area, giving locals the chance to channel their inner Luke Littler with a brand-new dartboard, while the new pool table means guests can enjoying playing on the table while enjoying a great-value pint.
