An announcement by the new Ipswich team on social media suggests the new restaurant at Ransomes Europark is due to open on Wednesday, August 8.

Posting on social media, they wrote: “The wait is nearly over...08/08/18. Things are heating up.”

This new branch will join the chain’s already established outlet in Cardinal Park.

It is moving in to the former Pizza Hut building at The Sandlings, and work began to transform the site in April.

The new Nando’s restaurant will share a car park with the Burger King drive-through next door.
