The Hive Café at The Epicentre in Haverhill is moving

The Hive's parent company, Nine Jars at The Suffolk Hotel, made the decision to move the café back in-house after the research centre it was operating at did not renew its lease.

The new café is expected to open at Nine Jars in the next few weeks while The Hive will stay open at The Epicentre until its lease ends in June. 

James Pilley, co-owner of the café said he was "disappointed" about the lease but was "excited to get back onto the High Street and encourage footfall into the town".

The café announced the news on social media last week, in a post that read "It is with a heavy heart that we must announce the upcoming closure of our coffee shop, The Hive." 

"In true Nine Jars fashion we have a plan to ensure you are still supplied with your favourite illy coffee and our team are supported in their jobs with us!

"In a few weeks time we will be opening part of Nine Jars on the High Street as a coffee shop once again! And we have exciting plans."

The company has promised that the new premises will bring a "bigger and more delicious range of cakes", "a coffee club" and a "new lunch range".

They have also set up a new parking scheme which will provide a discount to anyone who travels to Haverhill by car and visits their café. 

"We will take the price of your parking off your coffee," said Mr Pilley. 

The café will be open from 7:30am on weekdays and the same baristas, Emma Perry and Megan Grace will continue to serve customers their coffee.
