The pub will replaced with a restaurant, which will be the first of its kind in Cambridgeshire.

A Cambridgeshire pub is set to close soon, with a new restaurant replacing it. In November, it was announced that Mulberry Tree Farm in Hampton, Peterborough, would be closing.

The pub has served Hampton for more than 10 years, and it has been popular for its large cake slices it serves. In its place, Hickory’s Smokehouse will open as the first of its kind in Cambridgeshire, creating around 100 new jobs.

The closing date of Mulberry Tree has now been confirmed as Saturday, February 28. In a social media post, a Mulberry Tree spokesperson said: “Mulberry Tree Farm as you know it will be closing our doors on February 28, but if you haven’t already heard, there’s exciting news ahead!

“Hickory’s Smokehouse will be opening later this year, so keep your eyes peeled! Thank you to everyone who’s visited Mulberry Tree Farm over the years, and we hope to see you again soon as Hickory’s.”

The opening date for Hickory’s has not yet been announced. Hickory’s Smokehouse has been approached for more information.
