A well-known American Italian restaurant in Norfolk is set to close its doors for the final time before Christmas.

Frankie & Benny's in King's Lynn will shut for good on Sunday, December 11, after reaching the end of its lease.

A spokesman for the restaurant, which is located at Hardwick Retail Park, said it had been a "difficult decision" to make.

He said: "Unfortunately we have had to take the difficult decision to close our Frankie & Benny’s in King’s Lynn which has come to the end of its lease term. 

"All members of staff who wish to remain in the business have been offered the opportunity to relocate to neighbouring sites within our leisure and concessions estate."

With 94 sites in the UK, Frankie & Benny's still has restaurants in Norwich and Great Yarmouth.
