An Ipswich fine food store which opened just weeks before the last national lockdown is enjoying the chance to finally welcome customers back.
Wildgoose Fine Foods, in St Stephen s Lane, which specialises in cheeses, first opened on December 2 but then closed on December 26.
It took the very difficult decision to not stay open with other food retailers as cheese is perishable and would not have lasted a drop off in customers during the last lockdown, according to owner Caroline Blaydon.

The year of the Covid-19 pandemic saw several shops close and businesses fold - but many independent firms joined our high streets in 2020, bringing a ray of hope for the future.
From restaurants to boutiques, scores of new businesses gave the region s major town centres of Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds and Colchester a vote of confidence by setting up shop last year.
