New look at The LP Bar thanks to sister’s artwork
A town centre bar and restaurant is celebrating nearly a decade in business with a stunning fresh look and an exciting new range of drinks.
The LP, in Woolhall Street, commissioned local artist Alice Bolton to create an artwork paying tribute to the town’s connection to King Edmund and the wolf.
Alice was helped by her sister Scarlet in the painting of her work and also has another much-admired signature piece on the wall at the venue, in the Union Jack displayed to complement Michelle Freeman’s World War I art trail piece commemorating the role of pigeons during the 1914-18 conflict.
In unveiling the new look The LP has also updated its bar with a new range of beers served through the Smart Dispense system supplied by Heineken. The new system cools the drinks as well as helps save energy and reduce waste.
Director at The LP, Mike Garling, said: “It’s great to have a local theme that encompasses the legend of St Edmund and can be studied at the customer’s leisure, while enjoying a bite to eat or one of our extensive range of drinks. I can’t thank Alice enough for her work as part of this transformation.”
The LP serves wood-fired pizzas, pasta, burgers, sandwiches and salads suitable for all including vegans, gluten free and vegetarians.
Restaurant manager Sophie Over added: “I can’t wait to welcome new and existing customers to see what we have done here – it’s a brilliant way to head towards our tenth anniversary.”
The LP is a member of the Business Improvement District (BID) organisation Our Bury St Edmunds which is housed in the same building.
Mike Kirkham from the BID commented: “The new look is fantastic and it is lovely that a work from last year’s Our Bury St Edmunds World War I art trail has been incorporated into the design too. I congratulate the team who came up with such a creative vision and wish The LP every success.”
