What User doesn't like about The Barley Mow:
This has to be one of the worst meals we have ever had. Firstly we had to wait quite a long time for the food to come, but thought this would mean the food would be hot when it came out.

My fiance and his mum and I go into this for dinner some times and the food is great they must have a new onwer for a while it was not good

Great food, good prices, good atmosphere. Always visit when in the U.K.

It's totally gone down hill, they often have no plates, glasses, beer...the basics required for a pub restaurant. A real shame as it used to be a...

Everything was overcooked or burnt. When we placed our order they had run out of a lot of things so we had to change our meals. We've been here before...

The Barley Mow presents a diverse dining experience, garnering both praise and criticism. While some patrons enjoy the friendly service, fresh food, and quick preparation times, others find the meals disappointingly cold and lacking in quality. Mixed experiences with staff demeanor also impact the overall atmosphere; moments of warmth contrast sharply with instances of unwelcoming attitudes. Reservations often lead to longer waits. Despite these inconsistencies, many diners appreciate the affordability and potential for enjoyable meals. Overall, The Barley Mow could benefit from refinements in food quality and service for a more cohesive guest experience.
