A cafe has had to announce a month-long closure after ill health and travelling plans have caused the staffing team some issues. 

The Barleycorn Mildenhall, located on Market Place, is set to close its doors from September 25 until October 19. 

"Unfortunately we have no choice but to close for a few weeks," read a post on social media.

"We thank you for your support and understanding."

The post cites ill health and staffing issues due to holidays as the reason for the closure, which is nearly four weeks long.

However, it isn't all doom and gloom for lovers of the popular cafe and deli, who have promised a refresh and some exciting changes when the extended break is over.

The sister property Barleycorn Hub Cafe will remain open during this time.
