A bar and restaurant just south of Ipswich will reopen next month. 

In March signs appeared in the windows of The Outlook, based in Fox's Marina, on The Strand saying the business was "closed until further notice". 

The business has announced it will reopen on Friday, May 3.

Bosses have said the reopening will be for drinks only and will have opening hours of 4pm to 9pm from Friday to Sunday and then 12pm to 4pm on bank holiday Monday. 

Once the restaurant is reopened there will be more information regarding a regular set of opening times and their plans for food. 

The bar, restaurant and café, which overlooks the River Orwell and Orwell Bridge, had been a popular place for people to grab a bite to eat.

Last year, owners announced plans to open the restaurant seven days a week and host a dinner and quiz night every month, with summer music nights, theme nights and special dinner nights throughout the year.
