Bishop Catering to take over former Assington Country Kitchen, near Sudbury, after moving from the Hare and Hounds in Leavenheath

New owners are set to take over a village café which closed two months ago.

Assington Country Kitchen, near Sudbury, shut its doors on February 18, due to ‘matters beyond its control’.

Bishop Catering has taken over the premises and will open as Assington Barn Café.

The company has been serving dishes at the Hare and Hounds country pub in Leavenheath for the past 18 months.

A spokesperson for Bishop Catering on social media said: “After 18 very happy months of catering for you at The Hare and Hounds, we have taken the decision to move on to a bigger venue.

“So today, I can officially announce that Bishop Catering is moving to Assington Barns to create Assington Barn Café.

“I would like to thank Will and Chantal for the opportunity and all of the customers that have dined with us in the past.

“We look forward to welcoming you to the Assington Barns Café.”
