A new pizza kitchen launched at a town brewery has seen an "amazing" start to the year.
Roughacre Brewery in Clare has partnered with The Little Pizza Oven to launch the food offering at the brewery's taproom in Suffolk's 'smallest town'.
The mobile pizza business, run by husband and wife team Marisa Cornell and Darren Cornell, has been in operation since 2021 and often visited the brewery.
When the opportunity to open a permanent pizza kitchen at the brewery arose, they "snapped up" the chance.
"We have been doing different events and different pubs for around 4 1/2 years," said Ms Cornell.
"We were thinking about what to do next when we had the offer to come up here, which we snapped up."
Mark Jackson, head brewer at Roughacre Brewery, which he runs alongside his wife Sarah, said having food trucks has been a prominent part of its model.
He said the most popular food truck was Mr and Mrs Cornell's Little Pizza Oven.
After having discussions in December, the two businesses joined together to open officially on Friday, January 16.

And the partnership has so far proven successful, with both businesses enjoying their "best ever January", with "a lot of new faces" visiting the brewery in the town's Cavendish Road.
"It's been amazing for this time of year," added Mr Jackson.
The hand crafted pizzas are being served at the venue from Wednesday to Friday between 5pm and 8pm, and Saturday's 12pm to 8pm.
A range of cask beers are available in the tap room for people to try.
Four pint flagons are also on offer for people to take away from the brewery, which was founded in 2018.
