Barleycorn is Mildenhall’s best kept secret! The coffee is exceptional every single time, and the flavoured scones on a Friday are an absolute treat. The staff are always welcoming, friendly, and make you feel right at home. A gem of a spot that I look forward to visiting again and again!

April 22, 2024 ~ Barleycorn, Mildenhall Thank youso much for your wonderful customer service during our Tea Time. I had such a wonderful time making a tea cup/spoon with Playdo, playing memory games (which I totally failed at ), eating and drinking and most of all socializing with everyone. Sometimes thru the hustle and bustle of The Book of Lupi’s Life- it’s wonderful to get together and just giggle . Thanks again for such a wonderful welcoming atmosphere and for some wonderful tasting food and Tea Your Customer Service is hands down one of the absolute best in Mildenhall

Booked a table for the evening cocktails experience - and what a night we had. Great cocktails, incredible ambiance, fab music and outstanding service throughout. What a gem that the town of Mildenhall has been crying out for.

I had a lovely experience here today! I came in after a long morning of hiking some trails. I was refreshed by a London Fog and the yummiest "sconewich." I was so amazed by that scone sandwich I want to try to recreate it at home! The service was great and it was a nice place to read my books while enjoying my tea. I was there for almost 3 hours, so long that they offered me the end bits of a cake they finished serving. Thank you Barleycorn for a wonderful morning turned afternoon!

Great little cocktail bar! Some of the best cocktails I've had, highly recommend the Pina coladas and espresso martinis! Staff are always so lovely and welcoming! Inside and outside seating areas both with good vibes!

Highly recommended. I went with a friend to try our first afternoon tea and it was delicious. We couldn't eat everything and they gave us a box to take home. I don't know what I liked more about everything I ate, we enjoyed it a lot! We were lucky enough to enjoy a wonderful day in the garden. The interior is also tastefully decorated. A charming place where you will feel at home. Without a doubt, we will be back soon! In addition, all the staff who work are charming and they care that you don't miss anything. Thank you for taking care of us!

We ordered a sandwich and snack platter for a baby shower we were holding at a nearby park. The food was lovely with a good mix of sandwiches and other snacks (wraps, scotch eggs, sausage rolls etc). The vegan and vegetarian boxes were also full of different options and well labelled. The packaging was fully compostable too which is always nice to see. Lovely friendly staff and great customer service. Would 100% recommend.
