The menu will include chicken on and off the bone, burgers, tenders, handmade fries and specials including variety boxes as well as vegetarian and vegan options, desserts and milkshakes. 

Boss Graham Bell said: "I want to provide an eating experience which Dereham doesn't currently offer, using high quality local fresh food to eat in or takeaway, in the heart of the town."

Taking over a former hardware store, the restaurant will include 45 indoor seats and a children's area with plans to stay open until midnight on Friday and Saturday evenings.
