Barley Mow Epsom in Epsom and Ewell

What a find,we booked the pub for a family wake and nothing was too much trouble for Gee and Jo the new tenants.Everything we requested was granted.The food provided by Jo was delicious and kept on coming, all at a fair price.Those attending commented on the great choice of venue,there was such a lovely atmosphere.Looking forward to going back soon,will definitely have something to eat,and we fancy trying out our knowledge at the Quiz night on Monday.Big Thankyou to Jo and Gee,I hope you gain some future bookings as a consequence of my review,because you certainly deserve to .Nicola ,😊🙏

Love coming to this pub! - a little gem slightly hidden away from the hustle and bustle of the Epsom High Street, a short walk away though. Lovely warm atmosphere, gorgeous garden (currently waiting for some warmer days to get a little more busy!), very friendly staff and the new management tending the guests in a very caring manner. The new food menu rolled out recently - rather simple but a good classic comfort pub food with some vegetarian options available, and on a more affordable side, with generous portion sizes. Definitely worth checking out!

Amazing pub lovely people! Very attentive and friendly

Very nice pub with a good garden and the staff are very nice.

Superb Sunday lunch if roast beef. Quality aged beef. Not the creepiest but the quality shone through.

Great pub. Very nice welcome and service from the bar lady today (21-Feb) at lunchtime. Good pub grub. Only Pride on today but in great condition so who needs more.

Didn't the but I'm sure the quality will be top notch. Drinks options are good seating area is really nice inside and the garden is even better in the summer. Great area to just chill and relax

Cosy pub in the winter with comfy seating, good beers and roaring fires. Lovely spring/summer pub with excellent beer garden sun trap and outdoor area. One of my favourite epsom establishments, relaxed and welcoming pub. Also great place for a function!

Very busy when we were there, reservation of tables is possible. Great atmosphere, reasonable priced drinks, food menu isgood and varied, burger and chips is popular. Food served at fair prices. Staff were friendly and provided table service. Large car park behind pub so no issue with access. Have been here before, quiz nights are Mondays.

Excellent all round lunchtime session. The beer was good, the food was good and the service was excellent.

Great place tucked away for the locals. I took our dog who was a bit noisy but the staff and the locals were fine with it. She even got a few dog treats and a fresh bowl of water.

This pub is lovely inside with log fire and plenty of cosy seating areas. However the staff let it down, last night I was served by a member of staff, a young man very tall but absolutely no manners. In between serving drinks he was chewing his fingers and using a tooth pick in the most grotesque way and then Touching the glasses and serving.. He constantly came in and out of the kitchen eating different plates of food- just didn’t look professional. I asked for two large wines with a spritz of lemonade and he put soda in. When I questioned it he said “ why are you watching me do it?” The other members of staff are incredibly young but service was quick and efficient to be fair to them.

Good food, lovely atmosphere. Garden is exceptional. Great pub tucked away in Epsom.

Great Pub, nice atmosphere, good food and beer and the staff are always so welcoming

Fuller's pub with standard fare but staff helpful and friendly. Large tabled garden ideal on sunny days

Enormously grateful to Phil and his excellent team for looking after us yesterday (12 people of various ages (13 to 88)). Leaving aside the great selection of good quality well-kept ales, the 'home-cooked' food was outstanding. My wife and I had the roast, one of which was the vegitarian option: both delicious! Thank you, Bart! Simon

I was only here for a short while and didn't get to sample their food. Nevertheless, the atmosphere was friendly, and there were Happy doggies in the garden too.

Enjoyed a lovely Sipsmith Strawberry Smash gin and tonic in the beer garden, really lovely refreshing drink!

Really good pub,slightly out of town. Landlord and bar staff very friendly, and the food and service was excellent. Great range of beers ,and a lovely big garden to enjoy them in. Nothing not to like. Will definitely return.

We visited "The Barley Mow" during the weekday evenings, it was well attended. The Barley Mow has a good selection of beer and cider and a small menu with local typical food. During the 12 days in England I had the best fish and chips here! Next door is a large public parking lot (for a fee). From this parking lot you can enter the garden of the pub through a small gate.

Great local, good quiz on a monday

Expensive drinks, ok food. Miserable landlord

Phil and his team hosted our wedding evening, everything was superb. The set up, the reception drinks, the fab roast dinner and the live band. The food has never disappointed us and the roasts are delicious. The garden is great in the warmer weather too.

Best pub ever. Lovely staff, superb beer, gorgeous garden, great food. What more can you say? Love it

Dan B was an excellent server and barman. Should be known as ‘Amazing Dan’ for now and forevermore. He’s efficient and polite. Beautiful pub. Lovely food. Even better vino and cocktails. 10/10 a little gem of a pub in Epsom

My sister and I had a lovely evening here. Food and cocktails were great and stand out service from Dan B who was amazing.

Lovely little pub with a wide range of drinks and great tasting food. It has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating in their garden. Staff were all very friendly and helpful.

A relaxing afternoon in the beer garden with family and friends enjoying some drinks and a Sunday roast. The drinks were cold, the sun was warm, the atmosphere was relaxed and the food was lovely - cooked to perfection, large portions, plenty of vegetables and extra gravy. All supported by friendly, helpful staff. The perfect Sunday afternoon.

Very nice pub - a great pint of Guinness! Very welcoming and quick service especially as it was fairly busy during six nations games! A very nice sized beer garden which I’m tempted to visit again when the summer months hit!

Really, really good. Food was great, staff were friendly and helpful. Will definitely revisit

Friendly staff and very welcoming. We had the Sunday roast which was very nice and decent sized. Dog friendly is a bonus too. Will visit again.

Great and fast service, excellent real ale and reasonably priced

A trip to the dentist for double root canal work is a more cheerful and less expensive experience than a visit here. Not sure why the manager and most of the staff are in the hospitality business. I imagine Dick Turpin never smiled behind his mask but at least he engaged with his victims as he relieved them of their cash.

Lovely pub, warm local feel. Good selection of ales, large interior and exterior seating.

Great little local. Good beer , good food.

Fantastic local, great selection of food and drink, friendly staff and a top landlord (Phil) who always looks after us, especially when England are playing any sport! Lovely garden too.

Phil and his team hosted us for our wedding reception (36 people). It was fantastic, great food, brilliant staff. Everything was perfect. Huge thanks to them all.

Good pub with lovely staff, especially good on Fuller’s 177th birthday!

Lovely pub, friendly staff, great food

Nice popular pub - good for a quiet pint or a meal.

Sort your vegetarian options out, ridiculous to see one option on the menu as a veggie burger, not good enough (and out of stock as it’s the only option available on main menu)

At a birthday event on 25th September organised by a friend, and had possibly the worst roast beef lunch I have had in a very long while. Most of the beef was fat and gristle and where there was meat, it was impossible to cut it. I left it. It was an event organised by a friend so it was not appropriate to complain at the time but had it been just me, I would have complained and returned the food. It will not be a place I will revisit! An £18.95 not well spent!!

Food was good, service and speed at which the food came out was terrible. Waited almost 20 minutes for a desert

They say on Instagram they are the most friendly pub around. I didn’t see that on our visit last night. The prices are not cheap and one small bottle of Prosecco is £9. We ordered out food at 7:10 last night and by 7:50 it still hadn’t arrived. I asked the blonde lady at the bar and she snapped at me saying the chef is busy. When the food came out the fish and chips my partner had was dry and chips were hardly cooked. I had the linguine and it was full of oil and made me feel pretty sick. It repeated on me when we arrived home. The opening hours of this pub are wrong as they actually close at 10pm. Shocking for a Friday night. They said it’s because of covid, just before 10 a man came round asking us all to drink up and leave. Pure rudeness. I wouldn’t ever visit this pub again. They don’t deserve the business. If you are suffering due to the cost of living crisis don’t come here. The prices are very high for drinks. The staff need training on customer service and need to learn some manners. They also looks miserable and like they didn’t want to be there. I think they need to replace staff and get the place buzzing and vibrant again. The food menu was terrible. Lacked choice, no vegan options and the fish and chips has caused my partner to suffer food poisoning today. Terrible place. Won’t go again. Update: food alert have made contact after over a month of trying to get issue sorted. They have said the food poisoning didn’t happen here and that’s lies. We have home cooked meals so they are blaming me. It’s absolutely awful the way my partner suffered. This issue hasn’t been taken seriously so I will be taking this issue further.

Great outdoor area, amazing staff, food is great and toilets generally clean. Great place to go if you have a family

Very poor attitude from the staff spoiled an otherwise great Sunday roast

lovely pub with a lovely garden. Good service

Food was really good, sadly the service was not. The staff serving were rude and made me feel unwelcome. They could see I was waiting to be served but chose to leave the serving area and not serve me. A kind gentleman asked them to seve me but by then my family and I were already affected by their rudeness. Worst service ever.

Character pub tuck away off the main drag. Plenty of seating inside or out, welcoming Management, great food at fair prices and a wide range of 'different' beers and lagers. Garden has to close down by 10:00 otherwise whats not to like? Post Note: congrats to phil the manager for dealing with a rude (and drunk) customer quietly and swiftly last night - I've not experienced before but guess it comes with the job. Lovely pub, great beers, good food and dog friendly too!

Great pub, amazing beer garden!

God where do I start.. Im A chef right,the food her is dreadful... Eg..frozen scampi chips n peas as a special..14.75... Frozen fish n chips 16 quid...pie was disgusting,burger was nasty.. Whole meal a joke..6 people,did about 200 quid,staff not much cop either...trust me,don't go here.. dreadful

One of the best pub gardens in Epsom. Food is ok staff are very friendly.

Went again recently. Decent place with snacks and full menu offering. Love the beer garden and staff are friendly. Would recommend for a nice pint and meal

Top class cocaine available from the bar dealer

A lovely local pub, with a great atmosphere.

The service was none existent and when they did come to the table there was no please or thankyou. You had to go to the bar to order and ask if they did small portions or had a children’s menu. Being a small eater I chose sausage and mash for children. I got 3 dried cocktail sausages and a table spoon of bright yellow mashed potato with peas. No choice of beans or vegetable sticks. The rest of the party had a burger ( mediocre ) and fish and chips. The chips were reheated and limp.. considering it was Friday lunchtime there were only about 8 other people in there which should have made us think. I have been there many times in the past but never had such appalling food as this. Definitely won’t go again.

Have been to this pub many a times and more recently as a plant based eater. Was pleasantly surprised to find plant based options on the menu. The Southern fried 'chicken' burger was really good!

Lovely traditional pub and a few pints of London Pride and Hophead , perfect Sunday afternoon . The Ale was spot on . The roast beef was absolutely delicious. It's not local to us but would definitely make the trip again as it has a nice atmosphere. Nice to get a decent pint and homecooked food . Shame we don't live nearer , hope locals appreciate having a decent pub with good beer and food and use it . Look forward to coming again next time we are in Epsom.

We visited on a Saturday lunchtime as a family group of eight (plus dog). The Barley Mow is an unspoilt, old-fashioned and friendly pub with good beer, which I would make my local if I lived nearby. My only complaint was the meal portion, which was really stingy on the chips. Why do so many pubs save themselves ten pence on chips only to cost themselves a TripAdvisor star in the process?

Pretty empty and lifeless. Expensive drinks.

Visited for the first time yesterday and have to say it's a really nice environment with friendly staff and a good selection of different beers. Will definitely come back.

Great pub.. Good range of beers and good food.. Very friendly.

Comfortable but quite large round the back, looks like typical managed house food, would be happy to use. Bar to front quite cosy will a real fire, service good.

I only dropped in here because Fuller's sent me a promo code for their 176th birthday. I'm so glad I did. What a lovely pub, and great staff. I'll definitely be back to try their Sunday Roast one day soon.

Good food and beer and service. Not cheap but you get what you pay for!

Went to a small family wake and the venue was perfect , staff were friendly and attentive .

This is the pub you have been looking for - historic, comfortable, welcoming, delightful, and serving the best beers in the world - Fullers London Pride and ESB. Ticket away in Epsom you will find open fires, beer garden, and a pleasant atmosphere I would like to return very soon !

Great find. Good traditional public house serving excellent meals. The dishes were hot, beautifully presented and extremely tasty. Never had better. ( well maybe grandmas) Only recommendation I would make would be to encourage the lady behind the bar to smile. Makes such an instant feeling of welcome.

Our second visit to Epsom and our second (and third!) visit here. Each time a positive welcome, Sunday roast is amazing, a great buzz from a mix of locals and visitors and the garden is fabulous. This is definitely our local in Epsom!

Lovely old pub with real charm, great beer and delicious food available, the staff are friendly and welcoming, well done The Barley Mow Epsom.

Comfort food at its best! Just had the shepherds pie...it was absolutely delicious. Would definitely recommend. Lovely little pub...and nice to support the locals!

Lovely pub, you can park at the Upper High Street car park and walk straight to the pub's garden, at the back!

One of my favourite pubs in Epsom

Lovely pub, great staff and customer service and yummy food and drinks. Perfect for a weekday lunch and will definitely return. Nice garden too.

First visit and what a treasure. A classic out of the way pub, lovely beer garden and lots of nooks for cosy private chats.

Good pub for beer. Poor pub for food.

We had a family celebration there and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was good. Also parking in the Upper High Street car park with direct access into the back garden.

Great pub. Large pub garden out the back. Good range of food.

I held a party in the barn room at the barley mow. The room was lovely, the buffet food was very good and the staff were helpful.

Superb garden for a summer evening

Fabulous staff. very accommodating. food was great, I had the steak sandwich. they bought us heaters when they saw us putting on our jackets. love flower display in the out side seating area. really lovely pub.

I went here for a friend's retirement do.Delicious food and great service.

BEST BEER GARDEN IN EPSOM. If you like a good range of traditional beer and largers in a comfy and relaxed proper pub setting this is the pub for you. Beer garden is definitely the best part with nice tables for all size groups. Sun trap for nice afternoons and umbrella if you get burnt easy. Great beer garden. Nice selection of beers on draft.

Nice pub. Good outdoor seating. Food was good.

Unexpected find down an alley, followed the sound of happy people and I'm glad i did. Ample space, table service and lovely atmosphere👍🏻 will be frequenting regularly😁

A little oasis in an Epsom side street. Very well worth a visit.

Lovely staff, really is one of our fave pubs, glad to see it back open with safety measures in place also the garden and food is fab

We only got to see the garden but it's a lovely space with comfortable furniture. The app makes ordering so easy and our food & drinks were brought to the table promptly. Friendly staff, coping well with all the Covid safety procedures. The food was tasty and reasonably priced. All in all a lovely afternoon, thank you.

If you only go to one pub in the centre of Epsom, make it this one. Great ambience, lovely big garden and the staff are extremely friendly and attentive to their customers. Great selection of beers, which are always in great condition and a great food selection which always hits the spot.

Very good service. Food excellent. Pleasant staff. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Went for Sunday lunch with the family, all covid precautions you would expect are in place. The food and drink can be ordered and paid for via the app. The staff are great, very friendly and attentive.

Lovely food and lovely pub. We noticed that one of the waiters ignored us and was very cold. When we left, we tried to say goodbye and thank the waiter, but he very clearly ignored us. It was really humiliating. I work very locally and I’m hoping to book a big event there for my team. Happy to tip next time if we get a nice welcome. We were clearly a gay couple and I get the feeling that the waiter didn’t like that. I’d be happy to discuss with the owner prior to making another booking.

I adore this pub, good food, good people, lovely atmosphere. Also the special dishes that come around every so often are to die for.

First time just before lockdown, what a find, can't wait to return. Good luck with lockdown.

Easily walkable from Epsom Town Centre with a car park close by if required. A large beer garden; friendly helpful bar staff; efficient table service.

Big beer garden, ideal for a summers day drink

My local, a very pleasant environment for ESB and good food to suit. Doing well with coronavirus procedures .Different times. Support your local

Gorgeous Sunday lunch. Highly recomend. Good covid stuff in place too... hands free sanitiser on entry, all staff wearing masks. Felt safe and comfortable.

Excellent table service. Very good social distancing. Everyone wearing face masks as required. Good atmosphere.
