The opening date has been revealed for a chain's new restaurant in Norwich, which will be its first in East Anglia.

The former Byron Burger site at Chantry Square, part of Chantry Place, is being transformed into a Rosa's Thai.

Rosa's Thai has more than 40 restaurants across the UK, but its expansion into the East of England marks an exciting expansion for the brand.
