A spokesman said: "it is conveniently close to home and work, bringing together locals for their social get-togethers. Our bar is where local life happens."

They describe their renovations as "sympathetic" due to the property's status as a Grade II Listed building, choosing to enhance features such as the decorative ceiling to create a "warm, welcoming and comfortable atmosphere".

Damson & Wilde in Bury St Edmunds has been opened by the City Pub Group which owns 43 establishments across the southern half of England and Wales.

As for the food and drink on offer, they said: "We love fresh and healthy ingredients but aren't afraid of a sprinkle of naughtiness too.

"With a variety of small plates, big plates and sharing dishes, there's plenty to choose from for adults and kids alike."
