Work has started on a new restaurant that is set to take the place of the former Burger King in Ipswich town centre.

Pictures have revealed that a new restaurant, seemingly named Mu Lan Kitchen, will open in the former fast food unit in Westgate Street.

Boards have been taken down around the shop and has revealed what the new restaurant will look like.

The former Burger King store closed down in April last year.

Earlier this year, boards with the Pret a Manger logo were put up outside the former burger chain – but the coffee shop firm denied it was planning to open a new café there.

It is not yet clear when the new restaurant will open.
