Jack's, based on Market Place, Dereham, made the announcement via its Facebook business page, thanking customers for their support over the past two years.
The eatery opened in February 2018 and its daytime cafe had been popular among residents and visitors to the town who especially enjoyed Jack's staple item on the menu - jacket potatoes with a large variety of toppings.
Now its owner, Ella Winterbone, has promised to continue expanding the business and improve on its already popular Mexican cuisine trade after seeing "much more potential" there.
"Over the past couple of months, it has been very popular and we have received a lot of good feedback," she said.
