Desmond MacCarthy, owner of Wiveton Hall Cafe, near Blakeney, says that when George was shown the wood-fired pizza oven, the 11-year-old exclaimed: ‘That’s what I want to do when I grow up!’
MacCarthy, who featured in the 2016 BBC Two-fly-on-the-wall documentary series Normal For Norfolk, about his struggle to keep his estate, says of George: ‘He was a lovely boy – they’re starting to become less attractive become upwards as they grow.’

George visited the restaurant with his mother, Catherine, and others. “They came here with their friends because Sandringham isn’t that far away,” says MacCarthy, referring to King Charles’ rural retreat, where Prince William and Catherine have a holiday home, Anmer Hall.
Unfortunately, George cannot work at Wiveton Hall Cafe as it will close next month after 17 years.

“It’s sad when things change, but I believe over time something else will happen,” MacCarthy said.
‘Costs have risen, electricity is very high, and it has become more difficult to recruit staff.
‘Despite the very busy summer, it is difficult to run a business 12 months of the year when it is seasonal and only profitable for a few months.’
