A former town centre restaurant which closed its doors after 10 years is on the market to rent. 

Mings Oriental was a Chinese restaurant serving traditional recipes with a modern twist in Abbeygate Street, Bury St Edmunds. 

It opened in 2014 but owner Ming announced in June the restaurant would be closing down. 

A statement from the restaurant said: "With a heavy heart, I must announce that Mings Oriental has closed its doors and will cease operations indefinitely."

"These recent times have been exceptionally challenging and I have made the difficult decision to step away from the business."
