A PUB landlord is offering a free dinner for the price of a painting.

Peter Stocks, who runs the Hare and Hounds, Liley Lane, Hopton, wants a picture of the pub.

And he is appealing for local artists to help him out.

"The inn's pictur- esque gardens make it the perfect setting for an artist to work during a light summer's evening," he said.

Mr Stocks is offering a meal for two and a bottle of wine for the artist whose picture will displayed in the pub. The artist will also receive VIP treatment during the unveiling ceremony.

Contact Mr Stocks at the pub.
