Nice pub. Been all redecorated since I last went in.

Was a great couple of hours in here.

It looks really nice inside these days and a nice atmosphere too.

Town centre pub with large garden area , pool table and hot pork scratchings.

Nice to see this pub open again.

Lovely refurbished pub, great staff and very friendly and welcoming environment

I just recently visited the Barley Mow since it has been refurbished, and have to admit I was well impressed especially by the decor 👌 of the place which I found to be nice 😀 and completely different than most public houses, and as for the lady who served me on the two occasions I have visited this pub she was polite friendly and a credit to her profession, and I honestly think the Barley Mow shall recieve many more positive reviews in the future, so its top marks from me.

Beautifully renovated pub. Doesn’t do food but good choice of drinks. Not family friendly and no dogs allowed indoors. Lovely beer garden

No food recently refurbished nice place to drink no food served no kids

Barley bash and England playing what's not to like

Good beers, friendly staff, and locals are really nice

Had a party for my daughter's birthday at the Barley Mow beer garden, very spacious, play area for the kids, outdoor stage, their DJ was amazing, great selection of songs and Karaoke! Would highly recommend! Was a great day, guests commented on how great the venue is, staff were very helpful and friendly, would definitely book for a party there again! Thank you for having us 🙂

Not too bad of place, can get busy with local users,

It's OK. Not a bad little pub. Beer is Not expensive. Can get loud and lively at the weekend when they have karaoke on.

Excellent atmosphere, helpful & very polite staff. Great nights , especially when Karaoke is on. Would definitely recommend.

Place could do with tidying up, love Lorraine ,Chris and dj Diane ,great fun

Am Excellent Place This With Very Good People. Nice Beers Too

Spent the afternoon in here and ordered a burger and loaded fries. Honestly, no words can do justice to how amazing the food was and for how cheap it was. If you are looking for somewhere to eat, go nowhere else. Everything was fresh and homemade down to the ketchup on my burger. I paid £12 for a double patty burger and loaded fries and it was just unreal. Absolutely divine. Lee and Drew are absolute masters of the grill and you deserve to treat yourself to their amazing scran.

Cheap pints and the food is to die for, the kitchen staff make the absolute best food in Runcorn. Juicy, tender and cheap, absolutely get yourself down here you won't regret it

This bar is magical, a must visit when you're in Lovely Runcorn. Amazing town and some great people out here. The Barley Mow Issavibeeeeee as my little sister would say.

Nice old pub. Good beer garden. A bit pricey.

Very friendly pub with great staff, play area for kids aswell.

pleasant friendly staff , cracking beer garden to sit out in the spring , summer , reasonable priced on refreshing drinks , easy to get to as theres plenty of transport links such as bus , train or taxi to get to this venue , 0ne way in , one way out , sanitizer hand gels to use on the way in + closes at 10pm with the covid pandemic going on at the moment.

Great Place Especially Kim Keep Up The Great Work Social Distance At It's Best In This Place

Average pub with alright beer, stereo typical local pub

This is a lovely traditional pub. Lorraine the landlady is welcoming and professional. The Guinness is perfect. Thanks Lorraine.

Lovely beer garden, friendly fun staff. Had a great time at karaoke

Nice beer garden at back and small play area for kids :-) serves a cracking bottle of broon ale :-) and very friendly :-) five stars

Just another runcorn old town pub, ok beer garden, reasonably priced

Went when they had karaoke on, it was fun and prices reasonable

Proper boozer with a decent atmosphere, service was great but it needs a little refurbishment to make it a bit more comfortable

Smallish pub good staff freindley

Quality drinks and always a good atmosphere. Provides a playground for children and the staff are amazing

Tipical old town pub. A little past it's best and in need of a good makeover. Althoght this pub is in the centre of the town the building itself is also pass its best. On the good side the staff are very frendly and make you feel welcome. The night I went they had food provided, witch would put a lot of other establishments to same. One final point that can catch you out. They only acsept cast (no cards). If you do find yourself a little short, don't panic you are only five minutes from several banks all with cash machine's.

called in today for a beer on a hot day, no cask ale, but pleasant staff and garden,purchased two bottles of Peroni Italian Beer, paid £3..05 pence per bottle, that works out at £6..20 per not a pint, was told the pub is up for sale, think i know why!.

Un sabato pomeriggio di sole e caldo Bello l’ingresso con a destra la zona bar e a sinistra due salette e l’accesso ai tavoli esterni con zona cintata riservata ai bambini. Ottimi hamburger, buonissime le patatine, meraviglioso il sidro. Servizio celere

Aftercare recommendation, 9 of us from work decided to order a delivery. Very happy we did, 6 chicken and 3 beef were ordered. All of us were very happy. I'm sure we'll all be reordering again and soon.

Dropped in here for a drink and stayed for dinner, sunday carvery choice of four meats Plenty veg and potatoes and nice gravy. One downside football and music at the same time. But the staff were nice and the place clean will be going back to try other meals.

Great take away carvery plenty of choice and the staff were really helpful and looked after us, cant wait to go back

The staff are rude and the place is full of misfits who looked like they are all on benefits , was in this place on a Sunday evening and it was karaoke night . Watching the drunk locals trying to sing was embarrassing and glad I moved on to a more up market pub , the local weatherspoons !

The food and drink are great pub grub with a good kids menu . The newly refurbished play area and seating in the beer garden is excellent. With a new stage at the bottom of the garden for outdoor entertainment

Well ran pub. Great food and a pleasant clean and welcoming beer garden to enjoy the rare sunshine . 😀😀

I know the Barley has recently been taken over, but me and a friend went for some food last week as they have good offers. The food is good quality and very good value! We will be back!

Friendly staff, decent steak and a nice pint. What more do you need? Definitely worth a visit. Been several times and never had a bad experience. One of the mainstays of the Old Town.

An hour prior to Charlie Hinds removing her sodden tights in another venue we entered this watering hole for a little drinky. The place was in silence. We cranked that mother of a juke box up and turned this quiet little bar into the set of a music video and my goodness we put on a show; i'm certain i spotted the working men drooling as i put kitty into the downward dog. The bar staff was very friendly. The toilets were a tad mings- i gagged when i entered- someone had just recently visited tandori nights. I would return but next time i'll charge a fee for the entertainment i put on.

Lovely little pub, looks a bit shabby outside until you get in. Nice size with three separate areas and a lovely beer garden with fantastic play area for the children. Food it homemade and very reasonably priced. Clientele are family's and couples mainly and the owners are very helpful and welcoming. Dont go expecting a mitchelin star restaurant it's just a cozy pub. Recommend a visit if your in the area.

Looks Quite Tatty From The Outside, Not Doing Itself Any Favors But Is Warm And Welcoming When You Get In.

Had a carvery delivered today. Food was excellent as always and was still very hot when received.

Wonderful food at a good price, as always the land lady is trying very hard to please, we wish her well in the new year

One Sunday tea time we stumbled across the Barley Mow, I can safely say it won't be our last visit.

The barley mow serves great food at a great price. The quality of food is excellent with lots to choose from, good meal deals and a lovely Sunday carvery all you can eat. Great friendly service and a delicious daily breakfast.

God food at a great at different prices and plenty of it and lovely people work there too. Will be going again

My dad was a regular at the bar and after he passed away we could think of no other place he would rather we hold his celebration of life. The staff were wonderful and accommodating, and the food was excellent, everyone without exception said how great the food was and there was so much! They sent us home with take out boxes.

Great food and service. Brilliant atmosphere. Entertainment on a thursday friday and saturday night.

Went here for lunch and what a change still upgrading but its looking good nice outside garden area. The food was excellent fish and chips. And a steak pie and mash, well worth a visit

We went on a sunny afternoon and sat in the extensive beer garden at the back of the pub. The staff are very friendly and the prices both for food and drinks is very reasonable. We both had a Chicken and bacon salad as we didn't feel like too much because it was a hot day. The salads that came looked okay but tasted better. There was plenty of chicken and the bacon was wonderfully crispy. Looking at the plates of food that other people were eating they looked equally good and I can see us making a few more visits to taste those as well.

Been for food with some friends and couldnt fault the place, prices really reasonable and the new decoration makes the place feel much better. We will be going for food again over the weekend.

Had a lovely meal with friends, food was delicious, beer was good and prices are reasonable. The place has recently been refurbished and has made a massive difference to place, definitely recommend to eat there ☺

Had a friend staying with us and decided to have a run out for a traditional Sunday lunch the Barley Mow was the venue and the owners had recently taken over this place and had spent the last 6 weeks decorating the establishment.The food menu does not come into proper force until the end of the month but if the Sunday carvery is anything to go by will be good.Wish the new people all the good luck and will definitely be back to try the menu

Visited on a Thursday evening when the pub we intended to go to just a few doors up had no tables left, plenty of room in the Barley Mow. On arrival the bar maid appeared to be having some kind of row with some one over the bar but as we were very limited in our chpices of where to eat we stayed. Menu had sandwiches, burgers, pub classics and a specials board. We ordered a burger each which were about a fiver each and were ok for the price. Basic ingredients, nothing fancy, frozen chips but all hot and the salad and bun were fresh. The wine was awful, asked for a chardonnay but was told they only have one type- sickly sweet. Beer was fine. Cutlery was clean.

This bar gets busy at night on a weekend and the atmosphere is great one half ha a Sj and outside back area for the smokers. The only down side is queues for the toilet as only a couple of toilets form such. Busy bar. They also have food although I haven't eaten there they do a breakfast very cheap ! Recommended on a sat night if you want something a little busier and lively.

On a trip to Runcorn to catch up with family we went to the Barley Mow with my Uncle and his wife for a bite to eat.(Apparently my Dad drank in the Barley Mow in the 60's.)

Just ordered two Sunday lunches. Arrived 1 and a half hours later.

Its a nice pub great meals llke 2 for one sunday dinners for around 10.00 with del included for drinking it has a large garden with chairs and tables in the summer and good seating plan around the bar small area in the premsies which sometimes have live music from local bands or Karokie nights on which at night time gets very busy with locals, Staff are okay to talk too and drinks can flucturate in prices on busy nights. also a great place for family meals up until 6-8 o clock. Themed nights like steak nights to sunday dinners as mentioned before or breakfasts for resonable prices. kids play area in back garden (slide) for the young ones so during daytime can have some locals in watching the sports on big screen televisions places around the pub and shows also sports for premier leauge.

We called in on Sunday around 5pm for a drink, and had a look at the food menu but was told by barman we only do roast dinners on a Sunday,no other food,so only had drinks I wasn't impressed by the pub,carpets were very grubby it looks in need of refurbishing,

food was awfull got a mixed grill chicken was rock hard sausage rock hard supposed to have been steak on it and it was the size of a small match box andd when i cut into it, it was just fat the worse food i have ever eaten be WARNED Do not eat in this place!!!!

We had our evening meal here twice and both times we had a good meal,the staff were very friendly. 2 for a tenner,great value.

Just had food delivered from here and there's no other word to describe it only disgusting!! Total waste of £25 because it's in the bin!! The meat in my mixed grill smelt funny and what I thought was gonna be nice home made chunky chips was frozen waffle looking things! I ordered 2 puddings what never come and I'm left feeling very disappointed.. I would never normally write a review but felt I had to!

been today for the 1st time never again, staff picking up food with their fingers, then dishing out the takeaway meals, even the delivery driver. Place is dirty and stinks of stale beer. WHAT A WASTE OF A SUNDAY AFTERNOON.....

We came here for a bite to eat before going to the Brindley. Friendly atmosphere, quick service, good food - what's not to like?! Go on Wednesdays for Steak Night -great value and decent portion sizes. Will definitely be eating (and drinking)here again!

The best pub in Runcorn by miles. The beer is always good, as is the food. Friendly staff and good service. A proper authentic local, unlike the Weatherspoons up the road. Big beer garden which is great on sunny days. It's good for a quick pint in the daytime, an all-dayer or an evening drink.

We sat and ate our meal in a very pleasant beer garden in a pleasant atmosphere. Plenty of clean tables with over head shade from the sun. Not wheelchair accessible

At the minute the card machine is not working so you need cash which is annoying when you want something to eat and you get out your card and they tell you the card machine is not working, you then have to zip to the nearest cash point. The breakfast is really nice, when it is sunny you can sit in the beer garden with your breakfast and it is buffet. It is just a little annoying about this card machine business, they need to sort it out.

Really good value pub meals here,a good brekkie,they also have a carvery,they even do delivery,great,there is a very nice rear beer garden for nice days,reckon its so much improved of lately although i have only been daytime and never in a evening

Had a meal as we sat outside in a pleasent beer garden staff couldn't do enough, would have stayed all day if I could.

They have a great breakfast delivery to you at home,it is very tasty,could not fault it,and great value for money,they also do meals for delivery and sunday dinners,certainly better than a chippy,great

Decent boozer, one of the busiest in Runcorn, never eaten here but the food looks nice, could do with a good scrub though...

Was going to go elsewhere for breakfast as we were hungry but decided to wait for the pub to open at 10 for breakfast and it was well worth the wait.Buffet style help yourself as many times as you want. All fresh bacon egg sausage beans tomatoes hashbrowns mushrooms black pudding toast tea coffee and orange juice all for £4.99! Super value and tasted superb too. Will definitely be going again

I think you have the wrong place. The Barley Mow is in Church street, Runcorn and that is nowhere near the cemetery. You already have an entry for this pub under the correct address. The nearest pub to the cemetery is the Lion Hotel an excellent pub 2 real ales but no food.

Fantastic old town pub, serves nice food at a cheap price. The only draw back it's an everton themed pub.

Great value breakfast only 99p Bacon sausage egg beans and tomatoes All extras tea toast ect 50p each

Absolutely fab quick service recieved.Home delivered roast dinner was delish . Definitely be ordering again in the near future.

poor just waited 10 mins for a pint . there wasn't a queue there was just me and no bar staff ???? regulars seemed ok considering off they're heads on coke
