    Had a lovely lunch here with my young daughter. Service was friendly, attentive and fast and both of our meals were delicious. Special shout out to Kayleigh who was brilliant with my daughter.

    Was surprised a single vodka and diet coke was just under £7, wouldn't have ordered it if I'd known beforehand. Had a chicken and pork Sunday lunch. Came already covered in gravy which isn't what i would expect nor want, what's wrong with having a pot of gravy? Potatoes were not crispy at all, tasted like they'd been under a heat lamp for some time. Chicken was mostly OK though dry in a lot of places as was the pork which was chewy. Yorkshires were lovely, best part of the meal. My girlfriend and I both agree we will not have Sunday lunch there again, wish we'd ordered the chicken schnitzel and burger instead. It's disappointing when you work hard all week and want to treat yourself to a meal out but then find you'd have been better off cooking it yourself, wouldbe been tastier and a fraction of the price.

    Hi Catherine, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your Sunday lunch did not meet your expectations and you were left feeling disappointed, I have passed your feedback on to the chef and kitchen team to see how we can improve. We wish that we were made aware of your preference for gravy on the side and about any issues with the meal at the time as we would have been more than happy to replace the meals for you if weren't happy with them. We are sorry to hear that the meal fell short and you left unhappy & we hope you'll consider giving us another chance in the future. David & The Barley Mow Team
