A comfortable pub with beams and posts preserving discrete seating areas within a large open bar. It's family friendly with a strong local community focus. Sunday roasts.

Regular quiz nights and occasional live music & karaoke.

Historic Interest

The 1904 Woodbridge licensing records show that the Barley Mow's license was issued in 1853. Whether this was when it was first licensed or when it got a full (ie not just beer) license isn't clear, though the latter seems more probable. A report in the Suffolk Chronicle** on Apr-10 in 1813 states that a Turnpike Meeting advertised to be held at The Barley Mow - Witnesham. A report in the Ipswich Journal*** in Mar 1880 states that : Died on the 26th at the Barley Mow, Witnesham, aged 68, Mr Robert Barber.
