A top TV and newspaper food critic is coming to Suffolk with a show celebrating his new book. 

Jay Rayner is best known as The Observer's award-winning food critic, a position he has worked in for 25 years. 

The critic has also appeared on food-related TV shows such as a regular judge on BBC's MasterChef and a reporter on The One Show. 

Mr Rayner is not a stranger to the Suffolk food scene - as earlier this year he named Lark in Bury St Edmunds as one of his top places to eat.

The critic is coming to The Apex in Bury St Edmunds on Thursday, October 3 as he celebrates his newest book, Nights Out At Home.

In the show, which has been described as "joyfully greedy", Mr Rayner will answer questions audiences have always wanted to ask such as "what is the best way to roast a chicken?" and "if he is so clever, why does he not open his own restaurant?"

Tickets are on sale now costing between £27 and £42, with audience members with a £42 ticket receiving a signed copy of Nights Out At Home.
