The owner of a much-loved fried chicken and burger brand has made the tough decision to close his Norwich venue.
Bubba Kitchen & Bar opened in White Lion Street in October 2023 after the success of a pub residency at The Earlham.
The chef-owner Iain Carter has now announced that he will be closing his current site due to "health reasons", with the final day on April 27 2024.

Mr Carter said: "Unfortunately, we have had to make the difficult decision to close our site at White Lion Street due to health reasons.

"It is not goodbye, just a see you all later."
