50 minutes for two pies to arrive. Not as described (broccoli swapped out for beans without asking) Plate drowned in watery gravy. Served two bottom of the barrel cloudy pints. Other people dining were having similar experiences. If this place was ever good, that time has passed. Nothing positive to say and I signed up for this account to write this review, that’s how bad it was.

Pub looked good but a strangely rude young barmaid on Friday night. Huffed at me asking what beers were on tap then again when ordering. Grunted at me to get out of the way a few times and pulled faces as she moved around the pub. Shame as the pies looked good. Just odd.

Have frequented the barley for years but seems to creep up 10p a pint every time I’m in there. Brighton is expensive across the board but this is one of the most expensive especially given it’s an independent freehold pub out of the centre of town. Publican is and has always been very miserable il give credit to his staff though they’re always friendly. Shame as was a great pub.

Been there for fish and chips and it was lovely and the staff was great. So we went again for a Sunday roast and again food was lovely but one of the staff members was extremely rude. It was like she couldn’t be bothered to make an effort to serve us, making us feel as if we were a nuisance. It’s a shame as I like this pub and the food, but I will no longer be going due to this quality of service.

Walked in to see if by chance there was a table. They kindly let us take a table that was booked out in an hours time on the understanding we would order straight away and leave by the booking time. We each had a roast. One Wildshroom Sunday Pie and one Beef. Both of thoroughly enjoyed it and would highly recommend. Thank you.

I feel like I'm not qualified to write this review, as you'll figure out after reading. Went into this pub with my husband last night (Monday, 6 November) for a pint and some food. When we walked in, it was rather empty. Three employees were talking to each other, and not about business. All looked under 30. We were waiting for some acknowledgement of our presence - a hello/hiya ... maybe even just a glance. As we walked closer, they were still just talking to each other. About 3 minutes passed and someone walked towards us, no greeting. We asked if we can just sit anywhere and order food, and a quick, dismissive: "yes, menus are on the table" came out, and the worker quickly went back to talking to his friends. We sat down, looked at the menus. 1 menu was from Pizza Face (across the street), another from Kemp Thai (a 5 minute walk away). The last menu was pies seemingly from their kitchen. The three workers kept talking and laughing with each other, staying in their own world. When we realized that Kemp Thai is just down the street, we got up and left. Whoever owns "The Barley Mow", I hope you realize that you're paying your workers to basically chit chat with each other. We obviously were there for the first time. We didn't expect table service ... but we expected SOME kind of service. Luckily Kemp Thai was awesome.

The Barley Mow is a pleasant little pub in Kemptown. Called in yesterday and was pleasantly surprised by the great Sunday roasts. We had pork, beef and lamb and also a chicken and mushroom pie and a veggie mushroom pie. Everyone enjoyed their meal. During the week they just do pies, or pizzas (delivered from Pizza Face across the road) or Thai, from Kemp Thai. All in all, some great food choices. We'll definitely be back for the Sunday roasts.

Visited this pub for the odd pint while working away, found out they done food and the rest is history. Notably for me were the Chip Shop Tuesday offerings, tried it a few times and each time it was sublime. Compliments to the chef!! The food was fresh and well presented, the gravy served was off the scale good. I am hoping to visit again in the future, not being from the area. The staff were friendly and helpful. The pub has a nice courtyard garden which caught the afternoon sun. A good selection of nostalgic crisps and pick and mix is served behind the bar also, nice touch.

Good crowd of peopel on the night we visited. Decent beer on the hand pumps but NO porter or stout or winter ales of any descrioption. That was disappointing. But friendly staff and a good crowd of people all enjoying themselves with some playing at board games and stuff. Bizarre decor though - seems to have been designed by a committee - no cohesive theme of any kind, like it couldn't make its mind up. But that's superficial I suppose although it makes it seem a little artificial.

Terrible service pub was empty (we were the only three there) and it took 15 mins to order 2 pies and mash and three drinks. Food was much worse than the service pies Luke warm, gravy tasted like chemicals. Worst £10 pie and mash I've ever tasted. Yes paid £20 for inedible food.

They have a great food option with the local Thai & pizza take away so you can order these & they are delivered to the pub. As well they offer pies and we had the fish and chips on Tuesday which was delicious, perfectly cooked haddock and home cooked chips with mushy peas which was excellent.

Has been over 15years since my last visit and hasn't changed that much. Definately a bar for the local people and wouldn't recommend a visit with anyone expecting a life changing experience. All the tables were booked from 7pm obviously for the pub quiz held each Thursday which I assume is a regular event here. A homely atmosphere and a good range of real ales and cider. Didn't see any food on the menus but doubt this pub is for anything but a pint at the end of a hard day's work.
