Suffolk is well known for its range of restaurants serving fresh local produce.

However, sometimes, there's no better treat than a dirty burger or a wrap. 

Here are five fast-food restaurants will open in Suffolk this year or have already arrived in the county in 2024 and are serving customers.

McDonald's

In June, the world's largest fast food chain opened a new restaurant in Martlesham, near Ipswich.

Now, a new McDonald's is expected to open in Haverhill on Wednesday, July 31 after being pushed back from its initial opening date in June.

The new restaurant will seat 118 guests at a time and will have a drive-thru facility.

Ipswich's Cardinal Park gained a big player in the fast food industry this year with Five Guys opening its restaurant at the site.

Plans for the American chain's second Suffolk branch were unveiled in September 2023 but it wasn't until February that the restaurant opened.
