A Suffolk ice cream shop loved by locals and holidaymakers alike has also been attracting famous faces. 

Ugur Vata has run The Galley Restaurant in Woodbridge for 19 years and three years ago he opened The Galley Creamery and Deli nearby on the Market Hill.

Celebrities have been spotted at both places over the years and earlier this summer Benedict Cumberbatch popped in for ice cream.

"We have had several celebrities visit including Lewis Ludlam, Roger Eno, Benedict Cumberbatch and artist Stuart McAlpine Miller.

"But all my customers are special and I treat everyone the same who visits me.

"I love my restaurant and creamery they are my passion and joy, but I couldn’t do it if I didn’t have my family and The Galley team supporting me."
