A quirky new pop-up bar promising "decadent" evenings has opened in the heart of Ipswich.

The Lazy Lord of Saint Peter’s Street is the latest project from Damon Jeffery, owner of the nextdoor Thomas Wolsey pub.

The intimate 40-capacity venue opened for the first time on Friday, November 6 in the former Premium Beard Care unit at 13 St Peter's Street.

Mr Jeffery said: "I know I’m a bit crazy opening The Lazy Lord of Saint Peter’s Street.

"The Lazy Lord is a pop-up bar and won’t be around in January, but I couldn’t miss the opportunity to have a bit of fun and create a bar I loved, which is similar to the ones I ran in London."

Inspired by the fictional tale of a down-on-his-luck aristocrat, the bar is styled as a converted sitting room belonging to the so-called "Lazy Lord" who has lost half his family fortune on "the GGs, opium and ladies of the night."

Public opening nights will run from 4pm to 1am on selected dates through November and December, including New Year’s Eve.

The venue is also available for private hire, with catering from Bark & Ember and drinks provided by The Thomas Wolsey.

The pubs opening dates are:

Friday, November 6

Friday, November 13

Saturday, November 21

Friday, November 27

Saturday, December 5

Friday, December 11

Friday, December 18

New Years Eve, December 31
