The Barley Mow

Very friendly staff and good service but the food could be vastly improved by not smothering everything in grease. I had salmon with asparagus and samphire and despite being a fatty piece of salmon it was swimming in butter and served with potatoes cooked in cream. Even the side vegetables were buttered. Let the taste of the food speak for itself.

We've missed out on having a Sunday lunch at this fantastic pub several times, as always busy, but on this visit we got lucky (We tend to make impromptu decisions when going for a meal, but I'd recommend booking in advance if traveling any distance). We decided to eat at one of the bar tables, rather than the main dining area, which is rather like a large conservatory. A bit cosy perhaps, but less busy, next to a window, and had a good warm atmosphere, Right from the beginning, service was excellent, with attentive, friendly and helpful staff taking our orders, and there for general chat. There were plenty of meat choices available for your roast, we both opted for the beef topside. Our food arrived within 10-15 minutes, which was perfect timing. The vegetable selections arrived separately in dishes, and like the main were equally well presented (see pictures). Everything was hot, and perfectly cooked, with proper roast potatoes & Yorkshire pudding. The beef was a great choice, both tasty & tender, and the side vegetables, which included red onion were also very nice. I tend to eat with my eyes first, and this not only looked delicious, but tasted delicious too. Compared to some other pubs around in the area, it is slightly more expensive, but for food of this quality, it's well worth it, and clearly the reason it's always so busy. Since some of the others we've enjoyed around this area have now closed, we'll most definitely be returning here when we next get the opportunity. Fantastic food, warm & friendly atmosphere, perfect.
