A Michelin-rated Norwich restaurant has closed after seven years, though customers can still enjoy its food at home. 

Farmyard was opened by couple Andrew Jones and Hannah Springham in St Benedicts Street in 2017 and it earned three AA Rosettes for culinary excellence. 

But amid the cost of living crisis, the pair have made the tough decision to close the restaurant.

"We would like to think we will reopen our lovely restaurant again one day, perhaps when the climate for hospitality is more stable."

However, customers can still get their Farmyard fix as the award-winning frozen fine dining arm of their business continues to grow, with various stockists and nationwide delivery.

It continued: "Until then, we will be passionately channeling our efforts into our dine-at-home business Farmyard Frozen and wholeheartedly ask you to support us there."
