Dreadful. The man who served us was rude, impatient and obnoxious. Most ordered Sunday Roast and said the beef was tough. Never again

Family meal with 2 doggies who were welcomed and sat quietly under the table. Nice warm and cosy evening, we were well met and seated quickly. Service was first class, and the food was very nice and well received All round, the gammon I have to say was amazing, as were the onion rings. Table starter of nachos went down well with the group and I would recommend those too. We moored outside on the canal and walked up via the horse tunnel but was a large car park adjacent so however you are travelling, easily accessible. Wheelchair friendly, dog friendly busy And overall a Great place, highly recommended 👍🏻

I enjoyed the experience. The pub was nice, cosy, clean and traditional. The staff were very helpful, the food was good so was the ale. Was visiting along the grand Union canal and stopped the boat by the horseshoe tunnel and just walked through it and straight to the pub. Worth a visit if you are travelling down the canal.

The staff at the barley mow were so friendly, and went out of their way to accommodate us.

Cider was really reasonably priced too. We'll definitely be returning!

We went for a quiet lunch with my brother and his wife. Plenty of parking, busy but not packed. A very friendly welcome from the landlord as we ordered drinks and found a quiet table. Menu had a good variety of baguettes, wraps and jackets, with choices available for vegans/ vegetarians. My s-i-l is vegetarian and settled for a falafel and Moroccan spiced hummus wrap with a "pinch", as they call them, of chips. Delicious, apparently! We ordered a tuna mayo wrap, prawn Marie rose and cod goujons baguettes. Everything was fresh, tasty, service was prompt and good value for money. A good selection of draft beers, lagers and wine but they don't do WKD, mules, or similar but still plenty of choice. Would thoroughly recommend a visit to this countryside pub.

We came in, before we sat down the waitress asked our drinks, we asked to wait 2 minutes. Because a member of our table was at the bar we asked for a further 2 minutes. She seemed visibly annoyed. We later gave our drinks order, and asked for a few more minutes before ordering food, and the food order was thrown at us, and when we asked for the food options half the options were unavailable - which is fine as Sunday afternoon, but then asking for what we then thought was available was also unavailable and we were then Told “well if you ordered earlier that wouldn’t have happened”. We decided to go elsewhere and the attitude was shocking. We have never been before, and won’t be returning. I’ve never witnessed such terrible service. We are a polite table, we were friendly to the team and all very shocked with this situation.

Reservation made the day before visit. Arrived on time to an empty pub. Noone greeted us. We sat at a table reserved for 3 assuming it was ours. Wrong! Waitress told us without preamble it wasn't ours. She also said we had no reservation recorded. Moved to another table we ordered with her using the hand held ordering machine. This took forever. Food delivered which was average at best but whole experience spoiled by waitress indifference. Won't go again.

Food is home cooked with choices of seasonal veg/ meat locally sourced. Vegetarian dishes are available and they are great.

Very nice canal side pub to be found in Cosgrove, great size garden and a large covered patio area ideal for Al Fresco dining. It was pretty quiet when we went so not a lot of atmosphere, but should imagine this changes when busy. There was a lot of people dining and from what I saw it looked great, got hold of a menu and it is quite varied and not too expensive. A friend of mine arrived and I asked him what the food was like, he said it has always remained to be of a high standard, so good enough for me. Good range of real ales, wines etc. Very nice comfy feel to the interior of the pub, well worth a visit.

Been in many times, since the new owners took over and pleased with the decoration, I haven't eaten here yet, but hear good reports, the big downer for me and most of my friends is that even though the landlord promised and advertises craft ales, on the website, beers like Tribute and London Pride are not craft ales! There is a massive choice of lagers etc, so why not support craft ale producers/brewers? I see many locals in pubs not too far away that have craft beers available, so the EA is losing custom IMHO, I'm happy supporting my local and the pub do the same with local brewers please.
