Churros and Chorizo has secured a residency at The Cap in Harleston, between Diss and Bungay, from Thursday, January 20 until at least Easter 2022.
The street food business is run by Nick Brewer and it began as a stall on Norwich Market in 2017.

In 2019 he switched to a van, going to events and doing pop-ups across Norfolk.
Mr Brewer said: "We are already fully booked with the van for June, July and August, but we were looking for somewhere for a few months to fill the gap when the weather is a bit up and down.
"We did a few pop-ups at The Cap last year and they were always popular.
