The Barley Mow in Hart

Well where do I start. Sadly I have nothing good to say about the service or food. The young waiter didn’t know what the Sunday roast meat was saying he had only just started his shift. We then chose our roasts, myself beef, my mother and daughter pork, it turned up on cold plates with luke warm food. The Brussels sprouts were over cooked, the leeks ( with no sauce) were not cooked enough. Never have I had cabbage with mint sauce in, it was awful. The roast potatoes looked and tasted like they had been reheated. The beef was chewy and the pork was dry. I asked for horseradish sauce to be told they didn’t have any. This sums up to me how inadequate this place is. It’s not good enough. To end on a slightly positive note the carrot, cauliflower and Yorkshires were ok. They did apologised and didn’t charge us for a coffee and a dessert but would have preferred a decent meal and service.

A very disappointing "roast pork" Sunday lunch. Precooked sliced pork, very undercooked vegetables, roast potatoes were almost white and not in the least crispy and when asked whether it came with crackling, we were told not... whoever heard of a roast pork lunch without crackling. My friend and I ate half our lunches as didn't feel it was worth asking to change food... we could tell it wouldn't get any better than what we were served. Add insult to injury, after advising our waiter the food was terrible, we were charged a discretinery 10% Service charge, which was laughable as I had to go to the bar area to ask the waitress for a dessert menu, whilst she and her 2 colleagues just milled around chatting. The Manger was rude when questioned why he wasn't fazed by our complaint of the awful roast lunch, he just said "you ate half of it"!! First and last time we will eat there.

Our first visit as fairly new to the area. Very welcoming, friendly, helpful staff. Enjoyed looking at the cars as it was a Motor fest event. Food was lovely, my husband had the pie of the day and I enjoyed roast beef. Will definitely be returning. Great country location near the Basingstoke canal.

Father’s Day Sunday lunch with the family. Nice country pub with friendly service, However the Sunday roast was very poor . Very small portions with one carrot, courgette and a minuscule floret of cauliflower cheese. What a shame on such a special day. Very overpriced for what I would say was more like a child’s portion.

Excellent spot in the Hampshire country. Good place to visit after a walk or bike ride. Not much selection of real ales but good nonetheless. Good choices of food and quite a nice beer garden.

A lovely family meal today during the late May bank holiday. Everything was just perfect….great drink selection (rare ciders too), friendly service and excellent food. Dog friendly and a menu for the furry friends too. We visited last year and had a nice meal then too. We had the Sunday roast (beef), homemade pie and the rack of ribs and a sharing Camembert to start (really good!( No room for a desert on this occasion. Very happy to recommend!…would definitely come back for more!

The BLT £10.50 which is expensive It only had 2 thin pieces of bacon and the chips were a very small portion of oven fries. My son's chicken burger was on the small side for £14 but at least his chips were a decent portion.The staff were friendly and helpful which was good as a compulsary tip is added but the food is not value for money .

Always the best food and service. Every time I eat here, I can’t remember why I don’t do it more. Back very soon.

Once again, fantastic, thank you Caroline, always a welcoming smile upon arrival, London Pride is and always 1st class. Very nice relaxed atmosphere with very attentive barstaff. The home cooked food looks delicious too. Lovely to see you all. Highly recommend visiting The Barley Mow.

Dreadful. Treated very rudely unnecessarily. Would never go again, albeit we never even got to have a drink. Walked in with my mother and partner and was shouted out that they were closed!

Another visit to The Barley Mow and as always greeted by proprietors Caroline and Steve upon enterance, bar staff very polite as always. The ale sampled was London Pride, absolutely first class in taste and crystal clear. Locals always friendly and nice to see old skool darts still being played by regulars. So nice to visit a real pub with good beer, nice ambience. Dog friendly too. Long may Caroline and Steve continue to sail this ship. Have a peaceful and well earned Christmas, hope to see you in the New Year

We remember this place as an everyday pub and had changed hands a few times. We popped in for a drink and light lunch only to find it was now a Greek restaurant. Its not formal and you can eat in the restaurant or bar area. They even have nice heated booths outside with lovely garden laid to flower beds. The menu has lots of choice, but has a Greek or continental twist. I had the beef bourguignon and my partner had a greek tiger prawn saginaki which were both awesome. Waiters were attentive and even closed a door that might cause a draught, without us mentioning anything. Lunchtimes used to be very quiet in here but now its got a nice flow of customers and some atmosphere. Priced very reasonable for quality and quantity. We will definitely return.

We enjoyed a lovely meal out at The Barley Mow. Plenty of choice for everyone, including vegetarians in our group.

Visited with friends as live locally, always a nice greeting from Caroline, Steve and Staff, ALL Covid rules in place, nice to walk in to a friendly pub with smiley staff. You just cant fault the ales here, good selection and always kept in perfect condition. table service was swift and very polite, nothing was too much of a problem. Thanks Caroline, Steve and Staff........... See you soon

Had a wonderful time here having a few drinks with friends, very cozy atmosphere, table service was top notch in these troubled times, nothing was to much of a problem for Caroline and her wonderful staff. Crystal clear Ales, all tables full with drinkers and diners, restaurant was packed which reflects just how comforting this establishment is... Well worth a visit 100%

When we visited we chose to eat outside - we read the signs and one us went in the main entrance to ask for drinks. She was told she must go back outside and text to order. So she came back out, told me, so we looked around for the menu from which to order - nothing. There was a blackboard listing some beers, but beyond that nothing. Seated at the table there is a piece of paper telling you to use whatsapp, and if you don't have that then you can text the bar staff, but your order may be delayed. With no menus outside, there was no way to know what wine we could order, or how much it would cost! So I went back inside to ask - walked around the bar for several minutes before finding a server who immediately told me no bar service, you have to go and text. So I asked her how we could order when there was no drinks menu? She said "your friend should have asked for one when she came in". Literally astounded by that response - so unwelcoming, so un-customer friendly. We are all trying to follow any rules that are in place, but when a pub makes it virtually impossible to do so, why would we stay there? I elected at that point to just leave and go somewhere else, and I pointed out to her that wearing her mask below her nose was a complete waste of time. In the current climate there are far more welcoming pubs with clear and correct Covid precautions - we instead ate at the Waterwitch further down the canal, which was lovely and easy to navigate as a customer.

Nice pint in the sunshine after a paddle on the Basingstoke canal. Pleasant outside areas. Didn’t eat but the menu looked appetising.

love this pub, a fantastic friendly atmosphere and always a lovely welcome from all the staff. The food is top notch and has a great varied menu, looking forward to our next visit.

My last visit was before the dreaded Covid, swung by again and politely greeted by Caroline and the barstaff, dont need to say but i will, BEER 100%, all covid precautions carried out as per the book, sat outside under the huge beer garden tent on sofa chairs and had a relaxing few pints, great well kept garden and a lovely peaceful atmoshere. Great pub, recommended to visit if passing or walking the canal. Thanks for having me again Caroline

Ventured out for a lovely meal with friends. Safety measures were great, staff friendly and the food was delicious. We took a chance to benefit from the eat out scheme and what a bonus it was! My burger was fantastic! (and they even catered for the extra cheese craving we all felt the need for!) Thanks Barley Mow! We'll be back.

Food was delish and served so quickly, staff were lovely and welcoming. Everything we wanted from a place to socialise.

The food was expensive for what you got it looked good but had no flavour. We had burger which was bland and tasted just like unseasoned beef mince. Ham egg and chips was ok and the chdrens pizza was like 50p from any supermarket. The...

What a disappointment. We had always rated the Barley Mo when we had eaten there in the past but this new menu was more like a transport cafe or children’s menu.

What a lovely place this is. We were warmly greeted as soon as we stepped through the door our drinks order was taken. After looking through the menu both my wife and I had to go for the sausages (locally made in Chichester) with mash...

Visited for lunch mid-week to find the place virtually empty which was a pity but given the time of year & the fairly rural location albeit next to the Basingstoke Canal it wasn't on reflection that surprising. We were served by Ellie who provided faultless...

Consistent good and simple pub food but the defensive Landlady’s lesson on 30 minute waiting times was explained by the time it takes to cook a burger! We didn’t stay to try the ‘half hour slow-cooked burger’ but have dined here many times. A more...

We came to the pub as we found a 6 mile circular walk which began/ended at the pub. It was a really good walk which took 2 hours and a well deserved drink afterwards. A good afternoon had by all

My UK colleagues insisted that I accompany them to a “proper” British Pub and I wasn’t disappointed. Great beer, food and people. One definitely needs to leave the “city” behind and find a real pub out on the country side.

We were able to carry out kayak to the pub so we could keep an eye on it....very close to the canal. An excellent lunch and a friendly welcome: what more could you want?

We ate this Thursday at the barleymow because we had mored our canal boat a stones throw away. From the moment we stepped inside the building we were looked after by a very friendly chap. My son is an extremely fussy eater and he rated...

Good basic food at an affordable price. Friendly but not over attentive service. Lovely steak and ale pie and sticky toffee pudding. Coffee was cold.

Went for Lunch Great ambience, great service,great meal large menu to chose from, good range of beers and Gins - Large car park - very accommodating with the meal as I am On a Diabetic meal plan What more can I say - we will...

Lovely cosy pub, fantastic service, good quality food. Dog friendly, beautiful location. Best Eton mess i have ever tasted!

We visited the Barley Mow whilst on holiday on the Basingstoke Canal. With three vegans on board, we needed to find a forward thinking caterer! Luckily the Barley Mow offers an extensive menu for all diners, so we all tucked in to the delicious veggie...

Stopped here during a nice walk along the Basingstoke canal. Sat in the beer garden with drinks and food. I had whitebait and we shared a nachos with chilli. Food was very good and exactly what we needed to fill a hole.

Visited for lunch during a walk along the Basingstoke Canal. Varied menu, including speciality sausages, but I opted for the fish and chips - the fish tasted fresh and the portions were generous. The restaurant was busy, but the service was prompt and friendly.

absolutely amazing, the chilli was so delicious definitely recommend! The staff are all friendly and helpful, something which is hard to find in staff ! Such a lovely place to sit outside too. Cannot fault this pub, as someone who works in this industry too...

A group of keen gardener friends came here for a Sunday lunch prior to visiting some open gardens near by. We found the manageress very helpful when we booked beforehand and although the menu was varied we all opted for one of the roasts. There...

Walked along the Basingstoke Canal from Fleet to reach here (about 6 miles), wonderfully dog friendly with dog treats, water and poo bags. Treat the humans well too!! Lovely lunch with very generous portions - very welcome after a long walk. Eating available inside and...

We were on a day's walk and needed somewhere for a lunch stop and picked here due to being dog friendly, good previous reviews and a decent looking menu. We were very happy with our choice - the food and service were both excellent and...

Nice place to stop whilst on a canal walk. Dog friendly with several water bowls and lots of dogs which was brilliant for mine. The food was good and the waitress was very friendly. For a nice summers walk and pub lunch this is ideal!

Stopped there yesterday lunchtime - just for a drink and sandwich. Half-full at most. Told they were short staffed so 30 mins wait for food. Came back 5 mins later to order to be told was 45 mins. Other people were walking out and we...

Drink here most Friday nights and eat here once every 4 to 6 weeks. The staff are always efficient and friendly and the food is excellent!.

So want the Pub to do well. Owners seem lovely. Staff are friendly. Food is good. Just lacks atmosphere if it's quiet and sometimes you want a bit more of a "hubbub" at lunchtime.

Walked the canal path to visit this Pub and should have looked up opening times as we arrived at 1.45pm to be told food stops being served at 2.00pm and Pub closes at 3.00pm. Bar staff were very helpful and we were able to have...

I have been to the Barley Mow a couple of times now and have been very impressed each time. The Sunday lunches are the best, with delicious meat and veggies and huge portions!! I haven’t tried other food on the menu yet but I plan...

We had intended to go canoeing on the canal nearby but weather set in so replaced that with a walk and lunch at the Barley Mow. We had a lovely welcome and delicious lunch. Tried out the locally sourced sausages with a great selection of...

Popped in for a pint last week, haven.t visited for a few years, A very warm welcome from Caroline and Steve as if i had been a regular visitor. Immaculate bar and surroundings, Oh now the the London Pride was to die for, perfect, crisp,...

Lovely location near Basingstoke canal but prices for a baguette with a very few salad leaves is too much £8.00 or £8.50 for a jacket potato.

Feel a bit let down to be honest. The menu clearly states that there is a 10% service charge for parties of 6 or more which is fair enough but we were only a couple? Had 2 meals and desserts and would've happily left a...

Sunny afternoon bank holiday Monday 4:30 but don’t do food so can comment however as I was driving I had lime and soda,, £1:80 for half!!!! Won’t be buying that again

Pensamos que sería probar este local con amigos para comer el domingo. Aparte de los asados del domingo, resto de menú bastante aburrido. En el menú de pescado, poco unbuttered para cualquier vegetariana en el área.En general, una decepción. Parecía caro para lo que era. Además, agregar un 10% de cargo por servicio para los días festivos, los domingos, así como grupos de 6 o más

Fuimos un grupo de 8 personas (4 adultos y 4 niños). El pub tiene un ambiente hogareño. Llegamos un domingo y tenía una combinación de cenas asado y elementos de menú para niños.La comida era muy agradable y reconfortante. El personal era muy agradable, pero se me olvidó una de nuestras comidas y la comida en sí parecía una eternidad para salir.Aparte de eso una tarde agradable.

8 de nosotros (4 adultos y 4 niños) fuimos allí para comer el domingo. El pub es un pub rural muy agradable, la comida es muy buena, un poco mejor de lo que esperaba para ser honesto!El personal era agradable y simpático, desafortunadamente el servicio defraudarlos. Me tomó años para nuestra comida para llegar y se olvidaron de la comida de los niños. Tuvimos que pedir 4 veces la factura. Estaba concurrido domingo, pero la mayoría de los clientes se habían ido cuando queríamos irnos.No hace falta decir que espero que esta no era una ocurrencia común y volveremos (regularmente si el servicio es mejor) ya que la comida era buena

Good service at lunch today, I had a chicken, pesto and mozzarella baguette which was delicious. Nicely presented with salad, coleslaw and tortilla chips. Be prepared if going as a group as I believe there is a 10% surcharge

And they have "Old Rosie" cider on tap! It's hidden so ask for it. Food is good, garden is nice and secluded on a sunny day. They don't open till late afternoon so we turned up a few times to have to leave again :-(

Popped by for lunch with parents this week and disappointed with our lunch as having read that dogs were not allowed in conservatory we opted to sit there. Twice the pub's dog came in and interfered with our lunch to which staff member or maybe owner said to dog "you know you are not allowed in here !' Something out of Fawlty towers!!! As someone scared of dogs I was not very impressed with dog being near my food and food (curry of day) also mediocre so clearly we won't be returning . A shame as you have a super canal walk across the road .

Arriving at the pub late afternoon on a wet and cod day after a walk around Dogmersfield we were met with a very warm welcome, although the kitchen was due to close we were invited to order lunch as the staff were happy to stay on and prepare it for us. The food was delicious, the service was excellent and the pub delightful.

We went to this venue after a walk along the Basingstoke Canal. As there were 12 of us we did reserve a table. There was a good choice on the menu and as one of us is gluten intolerant it was good to see a choice of gluten free meals. The restaurant was not busy but they were ready for us and the service was friendly and efficient. The food was very tasty well presented and a good portion size. Would definitely return.

El menú era un perrito orejas pegado a un portapapeles, pero la comida y el personal más que compensó por esto! La comida fue servida y parecía fantástico, fue más que el actual perro - Menú de orejas puntiagudas podrían haber explicado, sin duda un montón de sabor y abundante.Lo recomiendo y volveré de nuevo

Vine aquí mientras visitaba a unos amigos en Hampshire.Habíamos reservado una mesa para cinco, pero cuando llegamos a nuestra mesa estaba ocupada por un grupo de jóvenes que hacía claro que no quieren desplazarse, esperamos varios minutos antes de que pudimos sentarnos. La camarera era amable y tomó nuestra orden, 40 minutos más tarde, llegó la comida estaba bien presentada y buen sabor.Nuestra sorpresa fue la factura. Nos preguntamos si se requiere cualquier condimentos, pedimos la mostaza y salsa francesa extra, el de la mostaza en un recipiente diminuto (dos) y la salsa spoonfulls era suficiente para uno. £0.70 salsa de mostaza £1.40.Hay un cargo por el servicio de seis o más, excepto los domingos cuando se aplica a cada mesa. Aunque es un bonito pub país no volveremos por comida...

Este lugar es encantador que vienen cada mes o así, así que conseguir el verano y las opciones de menú de invierno. Toda la comida es genial, buenas porciones. Yo algunos deliciosa sopa después de un paseo en bicicleta a lo largo del canal, la semana pasada. Deliciosos!Se admiten perros en determinadas zonas, pero estábamos lo suficientemente cálido como para sentarse con las bicicletas y perros.

Me encontré con este pub y nos alojamos para comer el país.Comimos en el jardín, ya que era un día precioso, pero dentro parecía espaciosa y cómoda.Menú del almuerzo, tenía decente el curry sobre una patata chaqueta que venía con ensalada de col, y mi amigo también tenía patata chaqueta, pero con gambas, que eran abundantes.El pub es un par de minutos a pie del canal basinstoke y aparentemente popular con los senderistas.He oído que tienes que reservar si quieres Domingo almuerzo y pub no está abierto los lunes por la noche (a menos que hay un concurso en el bar).Estamos pensando en visitar de nuevo para cenar algún día.

Visitamos el Barley Mow en grupo de 30 y por 3 horas ordenados nuestra comida por adelantado, ya que cada dos semanas durante todo el año en diversos pubs de la zona. Siempre aconsejo el pub que nos viene con unas semanas de antelación y luego comprobar la orden de la comida antes de salir en el paseo de tres horas. Cuando llegamos al Cebada Mow nos dijeron que había un cargo de servicio 1 libras para grupos de más de 6 que nunca antes habíamos visto, me dijeron que estaba en el menú (en letra pequeña dice 10%). Pero lo que realmente nos hizo molesta es que cobraron £1 por cada orden de hasta £10 y luego 10% en aquellos que pasamos más de 10 libras. Así eran gente que había sopa de £6 cobraron £1 en vez de 60 p, mientras aquellos que pasamos 12.50 libras nos cobraron un extra de £1.25. Así que no recomiendo este pub para grupos grandes. La comida era razonable y el servicio era correcto.

We headed to the Barley Mow for lunch after a short walk along the canal footpath from Odiham.As soon as we entered we were warmly welcomed by member of staff.Looking at the menu there was a very good choice with most meals around £10 and there was also a specials board.We had a fish finger baguette each which came with tortilla crisps,a small salad and home made coleslaw and it was delicious.Other meals we saw being served looked equally good and plentiful.The pub is large with comfortable seating inside and out.The young girl who served us was friendly and helpful.We'll certainly come again when we're in the area.

Mi esposa y yo había recopilado mi coche desde el MOT y Servicio y eran bastante hambre y queríamos algo para comer, así que decidimos almorzar en el Barley Mow.Nos trasladamos a la zona en febrero de 2016 y por varias razones no había estado en este pub antes (que es muy extraño ya que tanto gusta explorar y encontrar nuevos pubs).El tiempo era bueno, el sol salió y nos dimos cuenta de que tenía un jardín pintoresco por la parte de atrás, el jardín estaba bien cuidada y el servicio era bueno.Mi esposa tenía una gran ensalada césar con pollo y tocino, que era de un buen tamaño, el vestidor era muy agradable y todos los componentes del plato estaban recién preparados, de un nivel excelente.Fui por un queso y chaqueta frijoles, pregunté por el queso en el fondo y los granos en la parte superior (me gusta los granos para liberar el queso) y que salió exactamente como me gusta con un poco de col y pot una ensalada. La pequeña ensalada tuve también tenía una excelente vestidor y la ensalada estaba muy fresco.La única pequeña queja que tengo es que mi pinta de afeitar no era tan claro como podría haber sido y sabía como las líneas habían sido limpiadas (quizás fue el primero).Mi mujer pidió un gin tonic slimline doble y, este fue excelente y nos ofrecieron pepino con que ella adora, así que ambos nos feliz.Nos quedamos muy contentos de haber descubierto este pub finalmente, sin duda volveremos.Parece que tienen una música, cerveza y sidra festival sucediendo este fin de semana, parece bueno y lo más seguro es verificar esto.

Seis de nosotros había organizado para reunirse, almorzar y luego de un paseo por el Canal de Basingstoke cerca. Habíamos reservado con antelación y a la llegada nos recibieron cálidamente por el personal del bar. Las bebidas eran buenas y el menú variado e interesante a un punto! Tres de nosotros nos llevó un lujo para una de las comidas me dijeron que ya no estaba disponible. Es una pena. Sin embargo, las alternativas eran buenas y bien presentada, y el personal fue muy atento y servicial.

Este pub tiene mucho potencial, pero con la grosería y la avaricia de la casera que nunca tendrá éxito. Los aseos de caballeros necesitan una reforma importante y todo el lugar podía ser limpiado y pintado. Lo único positivo es el asado de los domingos es muy buena

We moored at the barley mow wharf and walked up to the pub my wife is in a wheelchair and we had a dog with us no problem the landlady good not of been more help full she was very on the ball as the saying goes. very good solid pub food at a fair price . also they had london pride on the pump my favorite bitter.A successful and enjoyable evening I recomend the Barley Mow.

We stopped here after a lovely day out on the canal on our boat and decided to stop here for lunch as it was so close. Quite basic food but lots of lunch time choices. It was nicely presented and tasted good. Perfect for a sunny day.

Attended one of their Monday night quizzes, and had their meal deal of drink and food for £11.50 (approx.). Sadly the lasagne was awful. Not very tasty mince, pasta and layers of cheddar cheese across the top, no white sauce. It was a very large portion but really tasteless. Come on, lasagne is not that hard to make. As the designated driver, I just had lime and soda. The first one was fine. but for the second one they must have changed the brand of lime cordial as it was bright green and again, tasteless.

We went with a pub lunch walking group. As usual we pre-booked our food with the Chief, did our walk and returned a couple of hours later. The food and service was acceptable except in one case they got the food order wrong and were unwilling to accept it was their mistake! It was a pity as up to that point it had all gone quite well. In my view the pub is fine when dealing with small numbers but they seem to struggle when a lot of people arrive together. They also make a £1 surcharge per person for group bookings which was not appreciated by our group although we were aware of it before we went. GS

We descended en masse, soaking wet from our walk, with two muddy dogs. We were met with friendly owners and lovely hearty food. They threw extra logs on the fire to warm us up and really looked after us. The steak pie was a delight. It's a 2 mile glorious walk from the Four Seasons Hotel and definitely worth a stop off. You can easily take a taxi back if you don't want to walk off lunch.

We popped in for a drink and got a very warm welcome. The setting was beautiful with a log fire and various seating including comfy sofas and tables and chairs. We ended up eating and the portions were very impressive. The food was good value and very yummy! We will be visiting again.

Visit regularly with family and also take business colleagues from abroad when they are staying over night. Always friendly service, good food, nice selection of beers / ales. highly recommended

Just within walking distance from home, we donned our coats, hiking shoes and dog (after checking they were dog friendly) booked a table and walked to the Barley Mow.We were warmly greeted, had a good table and were promptly served with drinks.We ordered Hunters Chicken and Scampi, both were lovely, perfectly cooked and served within 10 minutes.I had the sticky toffee pudding for desert with custard. Again, very tasty.We are spoilt for choice with decent country pubs in the local area but the Barley Mow is somewhere I wouldn't hesitate to return to. Recommended.

The Barley Mow made us very welcome for lunch and deserves to grow its reputation as a well run friendly pub that serves amongst others London Pride, Doombar and Brakspear. The appetizing menu had plenty of choice, many ingredients are from local suppliers, and I particularly enjoyed their popular 3 sausages with mash, peas and gravy, followed by an indulgent Eaton mess. There is nothing pretentious about this place, but it enjoys a comfortable relaxed atmosphere to meet, drink and eat. We came away very satisfied.

Lovely food pub but with good range of beers and ciders.I had Old Rosie cloudy cider a personal favourite.The sausage menu was fantastic, sat and sausage is not to be messed with, really very hot!!Only bad point was that the mash potato was clearly processed not fresh, other than that would highly recommend!! Great pub

This is a lovely local pub serving a great range of well kept beers and ciders. There is a good wine list to accompany a varied Pub menu, great Specials Menu and some lovely local sausages.Sunday lunches are good quality and well priced and you can book the whole pub for functions.There is a good garden and the adjoining cricket field is all good for Bar b's and bigger functions.Check out the forthcoming events.Staff are great and it is across the road from the Basingstoke Canal car park and on the intersection of several footpaths.

Roy and I shared a delicious sausage open ciabatta with fantastic dipping gravy,this lunchtime. Served by Susannah who was very warm and welcoming. Lovely country pub, can't wait to try Sunday lunch here! Can't recommend this venue highly enough.

Well its not really that local but i love it here! Caroline and steve are great awesome food, good prices and they along with their staff are so friendly and accomodating! One of the best pubs around!

We booked for 75 people including kids. The owners set aside the conservatory and garden for us and made us feel so welcome. The food was all home made and delicious. The garden furniture is a bit past it's sell by date, but that was a small comment in a wonderful event.

This pub reopened about 8 years ago; it is hidden in a countryside location but easy to get to! Accessible by car, horse or walking along the tow path to the Barley Mow Bridge! Dinner time gives you a more Posh Pub feel but the staff are very friendly and attentive!

Excellent place to park if you want to access the Basingstoke canal. The pub is yet just another one ruined by having turn into gastro style over priced eating place. Outside seating is more or less on the edge of road overlooking car park. We paid nearly £8 for 1 pint,half shandy and 2 bags of crisps. Will not be using it again.

A new year walk along the Basingstoke Canal made the Barley Mow a convenient and agreeable place to stop and have lunch. A bit scruffy having traipsed through the mud on the tow path but welcome nevertheless.Good beer, a welcome open fire and a choice of menu options. I choose the beef curry (special of the day) and wasn't disappointed as it was of great flavour and just the right heat whilst my partner had the scampi and chips which she just managed to finish.Despite being busy service was quick and efficient and the quality of food excellent.When on the canal or just passing through by car give it a go.

We turned up by canoe .. And it was the beer festival too!Good pub grub, great welcome, excellent beers, nice spot. And special to be able to arrive on the canal.
