A Suffolk bakery group is now fully operational after the completion of the kitchen at its latest store.

Two Magpies, which owns a number of stores across the region, began operating from the former Barclay's Bank in Market Square earlier this year. 

It has only been able to offer a limited lunch and breakfast menu while the team secure planning permission to complete its on-site kitchen.

Yasmin Wyatt, Two Magpies' operations director, said: “With this being a conservation site, it took longer to obtain planning permission for the kitchen than we expected.

"Fortunately we were able to open the cafe in April with a limited menu.

"Now we are thrilled to be celebrating the full opening of Framlingham as it was always intended and to offer customers a much larger choice of meal options all day long. 

"We hope that customers really enjoy the new additions to the menu, as well as the option to grab a quick coffee or baked treat to takeaway if they prefer."
