The owner of a much-loved cafe has announced it is set to close due to rising costs. 

Barleycorn in Mildenhall will close today (January 28) after the owner said the business is "not currently viable". 

In a post on Facebook Mrs Foord said: "Even though we have amazing support from our loyal customers and community, due to increased running costs and overheads the business is not currently viable."

Mrs Foord said that she hopes the closure is only temporary and will be able to reopen in the "very near future".

The cafe was well-known for its sweet treats and savory items. 

Mrs Foord also runs a cafe inside the new Mildenhall Hub which will remain open with longer hours.
