A new sandwich shop heading to the city has announced when it will be opening its doors to customers for the first time.

Popular eatery Urban Bites, which hails from North Walsham originally, confirmed it would be opening its second site in the Norwich Lanes on December 10.

It is best known for its hog roast sandwiches, burgers and loaded fries, but the shop has been met with multiple issues in the run up to the big day.

Co-owner Robert Scammell confirmed scaffolding and electrical problems on the site had been hindering its opening.

However, with the issues now resolved Mr Scammell and his co-owner, Jordy Walters, are looking forward to welcoming its customers.

Thanks to a successful few years in business, the pair decided to launch their Norwich venue choosing the premises next to Turtle Bay and Cosmic Jo's.

"We finally got the electric sorted so we're now only a couple of weeks away from opening."

A job advert has appeared in the window of the building advertising for staff including a manager and assistant.
