Supper Club in Ipswich forced to close by Suffolk Police

Suffolk Constabulary took the action against Supper Club in Tacket Street in Ipswich.

On the notice, which was placed on the bar by Detective Superintendent Angus Moir, it read: "I am satisfied on reasonable grounds that the use of these premises has resulted, or is likely soon to result, in nuisance to members of the public, or there has been, or is likely soon to be, disorder" near the premises.

It also stated that the notice is "necessary to prevent the nuisance or disorder from continuing, recurring or occurring."

The notice was posted on the premises at 2pm on October 20, and expires at 2pm on Tuesday, October 22.

Supper Club opened last year, and in August was granted permission to stay open until as late as 4am at weekends.

At the time, the licence was allowed with mediation from Suffolk Constabulary.

Suffolk Constabulary said: "A temporary closure notice was issued to Supper Club in Tacket Street. This ends at 2pm on 22 October.

"Officers were called to the venue at around 3.40am on Sunday, October 20, following reports of an altercation in progress.

"Three men were arrested and taken to Martlesham Police Investigation Centre for questioning.

"A 50-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of affray and being concerned in the supply of controlled drugs. He was subsequently bailed to return to police on November 23.

"A 41-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of affray, assault (actual bodily harm) and being concerned in the supply of controlled drugs. He was bailed to return to police on November 24.

"A 31-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of affray and bailed to return to police on November 26.

"Suffolk Constabulary will now work closely with partners at Ipswich Borough Council’s Licensing team to investigate this accordingly."

Across Ipswich a number of licence reviews have been submitted to the Ipswich Borough Council Licensing Committee over issues with anti-social behaviour.

These include Bar A to Z, which has agreed to convert into a restaurant and reduce its service hours and A Listers at Aurora on the Waterfront, which has had complaints of noise and "unruly behaviour".
