A MESSAGE FROM THE HENNESSEY FAMILY ❤️

It is with great sadness that, as a family, we have made the incredibly difficult decision to leave The John Barleycorn, Duxford. We will be leaving in January, with the exact date still to be confirmed.

This has not been an easy decision, and one we certainly haven’t taken lightly. We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has been part of our journey. We’ve shared some fantastic times, made some amazing memories and met some truly wonderful people along the way. For that, we will always be grateful.

Unfortunately, like so many pubs across the country at the moment, the rising cost of running a business has made it increasingly difficult for us to remain financially viable. With operating costs continuing to rise, alongside the needs of our family, we feel the time has come to make a change and focus on our other businesses closer to home, allowing us to be more present for our children and family.

We have always tried to make The John Barleycorn more than just a pub. We wanted it to be a place for the community, somewhere to bring people together, create memories and enjoy good times. We hope that, in our own way, we have helped bring some of that back.

We will continue trading as normal until January, and we genuinely hope to see as many of you as possible before we leave. We still have plenty of events planned between now and then, and we intend to go out as we came in — with a bang! 🍻🎉

This isn’t how we imagined our chapter at The John Barleycorn would end, but we leave with many happy memories, valuable lessons and friendships that we hope will last long beyond our time here.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who has supported us, visited us, attended our events, worked alongside us and been part of our journey. Whether you’ve been with us from the beginning or only popped in once, it has meant more than you know.

Please keep supporting your local pubs wherever you can. They are so much more than just businesses; they are the heart of communities, and we need them now more than ever.

We hope to see you all over the coming months, share a few more laughs, raise a few more glasses and make some final memories together.

Thank you for everything.

With love and gratitude,

The Hennesseys ❤️🍻
