"I went to the art school there, I lived there for five years and I've still got my closest friends there.

The restaurant will have the same menu as their Mildenhall restaurant, which was forced to close early as it sold out due to popular demand on its opening day last November.

Chicken burgers are also on the menu (Image: Top G Wings) The menu focuses on chicken wings and strips, with eight flavours on offer including Buffalo, Naga chilli and OG Southern, and also includes burgers, shakes and desserts.

"What makes us different is that the chicken's all freshly fried, there's no hot holding," Mr Begg added.

Alongside his Top G Wing enterprise, Mr Begg also owns Gandhi in Mildenhall, which is one of the oldest Indian restaurants in East Anglia under the ownership of one family.

His 16-year-old son, Sharyan, became the third generation of the family to work at the business last year and will be helping with Top G Wings too.
