Pictures posted on social media show what appear to be several of the baked items clogging up the waterway.

The company tweeted: "Somebody dumped a load of Yorkshire Puddings in an Ipswich sewer.

"Please don't treat sewers as bins, avoid blocked pipes and compost your food waste."

An Anglian Water spokeswoman said: "We always try to encourage people not to put anything down the toilet apart from the three Ps."
