The wait is almost over as the opening date has been revealed for Norfolk's newest Burger King.

The fast food restaurant and takeaway will open on Tuesday, March 5 2024 at the Hardwick Retail Park in Kings Lynn.

It is in Frankie & Benny's former home, which shut at the site in December 2022. 

To celebrate the opening, Burger King is giving away 1,000 free Whoppers and Chicken Royales, with vegan alternatives available, for one day only.
