Entertainment and hospitality chain Barracuda has been granted permission to transform a historic Kings Lynn post office into a bar and restaurant, creating 35 full and part-time jobs in the process.

Described as the fastest-growing managed pub company in the UK on the chain's website, Barracuda should provide opportunities in restaurant work, bar jobs and management.

A condition given to the developers was "to retain as much of the panelling [on the old post office counter salvaged from London's Waterloo Bridge in the 1930s] as possible", based on months of debate over whether to have the building listed due to its history.

Alison Gifford, chairman of the King's Lynn civic society, told the Eastern Daily Press: "It seems to me that having unique features at any venue, especially one where the public goes, can only improve and enhance the experience for the people who go there."

Formed in 2000, the award-winning Barracuda Group seeks "keen, enthusiastic" people when recruiting and claims to provide career progression opportunities and "a satisfying role" for its staff.
