But she is now having to step down due to issues with her health.
In a statement, she said: “Unfortunately I have health issues now meaning I cannot carry on working at the rate I do now.
“I hope you all understand my decision and thank you all so much for the support you have given me over the past years making my business so successful
“I couldn’t have done it without you all.”
Efforts to retain The Kings Head as a pub were made by campaigners in 2017 but they lost their battle after Babergh Council gave the green light for the 400-year-old building to be converted into a craft shop and café.
