Buttermarket Centre Welcomes 24-Hour Dining Experience as VQ Opens Its Doors
The Buttermarket Centre is pleased to announce the arrival of VQ, the renowned 24-hour café, restaurant, and bar, marking its first venture outside of London. Opening on the 24th of April 2025, this exciting new dining destination will bring a fresh and dynamic hospitality experience to Ipswich.
With a stylish 140-cover venue, VQ will offer something for everyone—from early morning breakfasts to late-night dining. Operating Monday to Thursday from 9 AM to 11 PM, and (pending licensing approval) staying open continuously from Friday morning through to Sunday night, VQ is set to become a go-to spot for all-day dining and socialising.
Visitors to the Buttermarket Centre can look forward to a welcoming atmosphere, where they can enjoy everything from hearty brunches with family to evening cocktails with friends. The diverse menu features an irresistible selection of all-day breakfasts, classic comfort food, fresh salads, indulgent burgers, and signature dishes like Fish & Chips and Chicken Milanese. The restaurant’s vibrant décor, complete with bold colours, pop art, and lush greenery, will create a modern yet welcoming dining experience.
“The Buttermarket Centre is dedicated to bringing the very best in retail, leisure, and dining to Ipswich, and we are delighted to welcome VQ as our newest addition,” said Rebecca Bird, Centre Manager at Buttermarket Centre. “VQ’s commitment to quality food, great service, and an energetic atmosphere aligns perfectly with our vision for the centre. We’re confident it will be a fantastic addition to Ipswich’s hospitality scene and look forward to seeing our visitors enjoy all that it has to offer.”
VQ’s arrival is an exciting addition to the already strong leisure and dining offer at the centre, further enhancing the Buttermarket Centre’s ongoing commitment to providing a dynamic and diverse destination for the Ipswich community.
“We’re excited to bring VQ to Ipswich and hope that our offering will be a welcome addition to the town’s hospitality scene,” said Simon Prideaux, Co-Owner of VQ. We invite everyone to come and experience this exciting new venue from April 24th.
