Muslim Friendly Shopping in Sudbury (Suffolk)

The town centre has taken a turn for the worse in recent years, with many shops being forced to close due to the current economic climate.

There are still some modest outlets for local goods but most shops tend to be part of major chains.

The main shops in the town are a pair of W.H.Smith's, an Iceland, a discount shop called Thing Me Bobs and a 99p store which forced a pound shop across the road out of business.

Halal Restaurants in Sudbury (Suffolk)

In addition to the chain restaurants in the town such as Prezzo, Ask, Café Nero and Wetherspoon's, there are some independent eateries.

For a delicious and well priced lunch (or even afternoon snack), Niche in Gainsborough Street offer a great selection of freshly prepared hot and cold sandwiches in addition to a great drinks menu.

There are two local pizza restaurants in the town centre which provide a fantastic alternative to the recently opened and vastly overpriced Domino's takeaway.

Also within the town centre there are a multitude of Chinese and Indian takeaways and restaurants as well as y-halal-food/halal-poultry-dishes/ Halal kebab shops for late night munchies. Northern Bites on North Street is particularly recommended.

Further out of town there is also a McDonald's and a KFC, although these are best avoided, especially at night time as these areas attract an unpleasant crowd of youths.
