About Barley Mow

Bright, traditional pub with stripped wooden floors, for cask ales, eclectic menu and live TV sports

Rebuilt in 1930, this pub is a spacious single bar with raised seating areas either end, a small piano, some old prints and a full restaurant and bar (with Harvey’s and Spitfire) upstairs, available for parties etc., evenings and weekends. It's popular with both locals and workers from the many businesses and government departments in the area. Food includes Sunday roasts. All major sports including football, especially Chelsea matches, are on the big screens. Children are welcome until 7pm.

NB there have been reports (mid-2022) that a service charge is automatically added to the bill even when ordering at the bar; you are free to ask to have this removed.

    Great bar/pub. The staff is fun and friendly. The drinks are reasonable in price and are delicious. The interior is classic British style. As an American, I had a blast. The only draw back is the early closing time of 11:30 p.m.

    I work right next to this place and our teams come here regularly for drinks. Today, I decided to have food and I’m really sorry to say that it was the worst pie I’ve ever had. It was cold and tasted like a packet meal. The pastry was hard, the meat was cold and dry with large onion bulbs in the mixture, the mash potatoes and gravy had developed a layer of skin on them. I fed this back to the team at the bar who were friendly and apologetic. Secondly, charging a service charge for pouring a coke (collected at the bar) is unreasonable. I like the pub and hope you can sort these issues.

    A friendly neighborhood place, comfortable tables inside and outside, no blasting TVs. We came here on a Sunday afternoon because it was the nearest food option near Parliament. Sunday roast beef, beer, and toffee pudding were all good. Talented live singer/guitarist also. Makes you wonder why it's so hard to do the same in the U.S.!

    Popped in for food when walking through the area. It was very quiet and the server was friendly. Got the pie, which was ok and the parsley sauce it came with was amazing. They had high chairs for children.
