Barley Mow — Restaurant in Elmbridge

Full honest review of our first experience yesterday(Sunday)at the Barley Mow. First impressions from road side is a well presented pub with clear signage, parking was easy as its got a large car park, although the markings are getting a bit faded. Walk in, again well signed, but once inside, it was a bit unclear where to stand/go and who to speak to about a table to eat. We were seated after about 5-8mins of blank faces, but once acknowledged the staff were welcoming and nice. Service was prompt and our tempura prawns were hot,crispy and tasty,and out within 10-15mins. Mains out within 20mins after starter, halloumi burger was nice according to my wife,and crispy fries! Duo roast was one of the best roasts I've had in a pub!!! honey glazed carrots cooked perfectly, PROPER roast potatoes, peeled, boiled,roasted in fat! (Most pubs cannot seem to do it) thick cut tender beef, seasoned well, and succulent chicken! Not forgetting the giant homemade Yorky! The side if pigs in blankets were cooked perfectly too! We liked the simplicity of the menu and drinks menu,as just enough choice without too much choice!

With food this good,I'm surprised this place isn't rammed on a Sunday! With a few changes to to interior signage or even a welcome desk for the restaurant, I can't see why it wouldn't be. I will certainly be speading the word.. Compliments to the...

As with every pub in Hersham - a disappointment. Hersham in recent years has become more popular with young professionals and families yet all the pubs still cater for the chavy rough types of Hersham old.

The Village is screaming for a welcoming, trendy, warm, clean, family friendly local commonly found in neighbouring towns like West End (Prince of Wales) & Esher (Wheatsheaf) with wholesome food and good selection of ales, beer and gin and not Stella, Fosters and Bulmers. I visited on a Friday night with the Wife and there were about 12 people in here.

I added an extra star as the outside area was actually pretty decent. In Summary, it has potential but is currently way off the mark. It needs a new creative management team and significant...

We booked out an area for our nans 80th birthday with a buffet. The owner was so helpful and organised that it was fabulous. The buffet was reasonably priced and delicious and there was so much food, we offered out the remaining to the local drinkers!!! She also catered for our vegetarians and vegans with a perfect touch of cakes! We couldn’t recommend this place enough, garden area to keep the kids entertained, good priced drink and lots of food with a bonus of the football/rugby for the adult men. Would definitely recommend to hire out the area or even just the friendly and helpful staff that went out of their way to help. The owner (apologies for not knowing her name) was fab!!!! If I could give more than 5 stars for a review I...
