A river cruise restaurant has been buoyed by a grant which will help it extend its sailing season.
The Lady Florence which takes dining guests on a spectacular voyage taking in Suffolk’s most stunning coastal habitats has been awarded a £2,500 Visitor Economy Grant grant to help it buy new marine radar and chart-plotting equipment which will enable it to sail late into the evening.
Co-owner Kris Ambury who runs the business with partner Craig said the New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) grant boost means that the business will be able to make up for lost time once lockdown restrictions ease.

Small and large companies across Suffolk and Norfolk are being urged to prepare themselves for big changes on January 1 - even those who don t trade overseas.
New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) says even firms who think they are not affected by Brexit because they don t export or import goods might find they are after all.
As well as those who sell into the European Union (EU), businesses which employ overseas nationals will need to prepare for a new immigration system, and people travelling to the EU for work will need to check whether they need a visa or work permit. UK firms receiving personal data via the European Economic Area will need to make sure data is flowing legally. Anyone providing services in the EU will also need to make sure their qualifications are recognised by the EU.
