"People are at the heart of our business, and we look forward to welcoming new employees with the jobs our restaurant will create.

"We’re committed to investing in opportunities for a mix of all ages, life stages and backgrounds, promoting flexibility and equality.

"It’s particularly exciting to be opening this new restaurant as McDonald’s celebrates its 50th year in the UK."

Plans for the new unit were approved by West Suffolk Council in March 2023 after being initially submitted to the council in March 2022.
