We called in for an early drink on a very wet afternoon in May. We had both our dogs with us and sat at the bar and had a beer. We were made to feel very welcome and chatted with a couple of locals and the manager. The food looked delicious and we will definitely be back to have something to eat.
There was a lovely feel to the pub. Rustic, charming and relaxed. Just as a local pub should be. I hope it continues to do well.

After being lovingly brought back to life through a remarkable community purchase by 143 passionate locals, this pub has reopened its doors?and what a welcome return it is. From the moment you walk in, you?re greeted with genuine warmth from the staff, who are clearly proud to be part of something special. Their friendliness sets the tone for a visit that feels more like being among friends than just another night out.
The menu immediately signals quality?carefully chosen dishes and generous portions that leave you satisfied without overdoing it. The homemade pie was a standout, with beautifully hand-rolled pastry and rich, hearty filling. The chicken and avocado salad was another highlight?fresh, vibrant, and more generous in size than you?d expect. For dessert, the sticky toffee pudding with custard was pure comfort: just like mum used to make, warm, sweet, and deeply nostalgic.
There?s ample parking around the back and a small but charming garden space for when the weather cooperates. Though the pub is still very much an ongoing project, with more refurbishments on the horizon, the atmosphere already feels right. It?s full of promise?and full of people. Even on a damp Thursday evening, every table was booked, a testament to how much this place has been missed.
The prices are refreshingly reasonable, and the selection of local ales is impressive, showing a real commitment to supporting the surrounding community.
This place isn?t just a pub?it?s a story of local pride and perseverance. And I, for one, can?t wait to return.

We took visiting friends for lunch today. The food was excellent, the service superb and lovely setting. We highly recommend the Barley Mow and will definitely be back again soon!

If you loved the Donkey, these are the same people in a new venue. Great home cooked food, done better that we could do it ourselves.

Absolutely fantastic place. Recommend a visit as we were. The food is brilliant and very, very good. The staff were so amazing and accommodating when one-third of the group went to the wrong Barley Mow ? and were late, but their humour and service skills were excellent, I highly recommend this place for a visit

Lovely staff and the food was good, however the pub in general needs a spring clean and lick of paint. Pop in if you are nearby but don't make a special trip.

Eaten here a couple of times recently. Food is amazing quality and good portions, enough to satisfy. Excellent Hogsback TEA ion tap too. With a table by the fire it?s a real treat to eat out.

Oh crikey! The food at this place is heavenly! We had the Dover Sole and the Red Thai Curry, both were superb. And despite the fish being an expensive item, when I got the bill I thought I'd been undercharged. Staff were warm, accommodating and funny. Loved our visit here and can't recommend enough.
