A new American-style chicken wing restaurant is coming to Mildenhall, offering eight different flavours for the chicken connoisseur.

Long-time friends Shaz Begg, 42, and Paul Stannard, 45, are joining forces to open Top G Wings in Mildenhall.

They have recently begun renovating their new premises, 42 Saint Andrew's Street, which was previously home to En-thai-sing.

"Paul and I were actually in the cinema when a Facebook post came up from the previous owner," said Mr Begg.

"I remember saying it was a shame because it's a prime location, then Paul said we should do something together.

"I didn't take him too seriously, but the next morning I received a text saying he'd already sent off a message!"

After fending off a bid from the Costa next door, with the landlord favouring a local, independent business, the pair decided to create an American-style chicken wing restaurant.

"I love chicken wings," said Mr Begg.

"I used to go around the country reviewing them with my friends and even go to London Wing Fest."

Mr Begg and Mr Stannard hope to fill a gap in the market for family-friendly fast food that's available during the day time in Mildenhall.

Alongside this new enterprise, Mr Begg owns Gandhi in the same town, which is one of the oldest Indian restaurants in East Anglia under the ownership of one family.

His 15-year-old son, Sharyan, became the third generation of the family to work at the business last year and will be helping with Top G Wings too.

"He's very eager to help and has great ideas for our socials already," added Mr Begg.

While they're currently hard at work renovating their new premises, they hope to have the restaurant up and running by October.

Mr Begg added: "Follow us on our socials to keep up to date with our progress and we hope to see everyone in the restaurant soon!"
