Wow, what a fantastic week here at The Barley, full of true community spirit!
We kicked things off with Paddy’s Day 🍀 — everyone who popped in got to enjoy FREE, absolutely delicious homemade Irish stew and soda bread, lovingly prepared by our amazing Patrycja. It went down an absolute treat! It was so good that we baked some more for some customers to take home ;)
We were also proud to welcome and host the incredible RAF St Mawgan team, who completed a 3-day walk raising money and donations for Newquay Food Bank. What an achievement — so far they’ve raised an amazing £3,679 (and donations are still coming in!) 🙌
On top of that, they collected over 700kg of food, which equates to around 1,180 meals. Simply outstanding effort 👏
Thursday brought our usual pool tournament, with a brilliant first-ever win for Rich (about time! 😉). Speaking of pool… we’ve got some VERY exciting news coming soon, so watch this space!
Fancy joining in? You don’t need to be a pro (or even that good 😄). Just sign up with a member of staff — £5 per player, winner takes the pot. Expect great laughs, free pizza, and unbeatable community vibes!
Friday was something special too — participants from the Cathedral Singing Challenge entertained us with their amazing singing, including a beautiful rendition of “Cornwall My Home.” It was truly outstanding!
Saturday blessed us with sunshine, and it was amazing to see the beer garden full again ☀️
And don’t forget — we’re dog friendly! All well-behaved pooches are welcome (on a lead, please)… and unlimited hugs from Emma are included! 🤗
Here’s to more weeks like this 💚
