The new head chef of a Norwich pub has returned to the place where he started his career.
Jake Dunnell, 28, recently joined the team at The Eagle in Newmarket Road and it is a full circle moment as he worked there as a pot washer nine years ago.

This includes pork bao buns and a braised Norfolk beef cheek dish.
Mr Dunnell has also launched his own Sunday roasts, served from 12pm to 6.30pm, with a choice of rolled pork belly, a bullet of beef or a vegetarian celeriac schnitzel served with all the trimmings and a big Yorkshire pudding.
Mr Linder said: "We are doing so well and have had to convert the upstairs to cope with demand.
