A travelling café has applied to have a stall outside of Portman Road on matchdays after a successful initial stint outside the stadium.

Ipswich Borough Council have received an application from The Travelling Teapot to be granted a licence to operate outside Portman Road on matchdays.

The application is set to be discussed at the council's licensing and regulatory meeting on Wednesday.

Council documents state: "The applicant has been trading under daily consents at all home matches since December 2025 and this has proven to be successful with no reported issues."

Applicant Daniel Fuller has requested consent to trade at each of Ipswich Town's home games, two hours before and two hours after the games - selling cakes and pastries.

The Committee is requested to determine if a street trading consent should be granted for the business to operate opposite Churchmans for a period of 12 months.

Previously, The Travelling Teapot was located at the corner of the Cobbold Stand and the Sir Alf Ramsey South Stand with the plans stating it would be located in the same corner if permission is granted.
