A traditional pub is set to return to a town after new owners purchased a former tapas restaurant.
98 Risbygate Street in Bury St Edmunds was put on the market after restaurant Casa closed its doors to customers in 2023.
Estate agents Everard Cole listed the property for offers in excess of £800,000 and has announced the site has been bought by Burlison Inns.
The group also owns Nethergate Brewery in the town and the Risbygate Street property will become the group's 15th pub.

Burlison Inns intends to reopen the premises under its former name The Rising Sun as a traditional and family-friendly pub.
The former pub also traded inside the 15th century coaching inn under the name St Edmunds Tavern before it closed in 2010.
Everard Cole associate director Gareth Hatton, who lives in Bury St Edmunds, is delighted the pub is returning to the town.
He said: "We wish Gary and the team every success with the opening later this year and for the future."
