Barley Mow — Restaurant in South Cambridgeshire

Arrived in Cambridge Friday 31st May after a 5hr drive. We read on their website that they served Thai food. We went to the Barley Mow around 5pm ready to order our Thai meals, only to be told that they don't serve Thai food! Apparently the previous owners did and the new owners cannot for some reason, remove the menu from their website. Disappointed yes, we decided to stay so we ordered Prawn Linguine with cheese and rocket. Not at all what we expected, about 4 very small prawns and pasta in what tasted like barbecue sauce! No cheese or rocket on either plate. I complained when paying saying it wasn't at all like a prawn linguine dish plus minus the cheese and rocket. The young barman apologised and said that he would "let the chef know". With a bottle of Rose and a beer our bill was £57. Also, a family sat next to us ordered steaks, only to be told that they didn't have any, they ordered lambs shanks, again to be told they weren't available saying there had been delivery problems!! If you want a drink, it's ok nice decor etc..if you want a decent meal go elsewhere. Do not waste your money here. It is so disappointing and annoying to go to an eatery, advertising good food, only to find it's average!! Many British pubs do not and cannot offer decent food! I dread to think what tourists...

I rang earlier this week to book a table for 3 people at 1500, specifically asked for a table to be able to watch footie, was told on Sunday lunches available and they stop serving those at 1530. Got there just before 1500 only to be shown a table at the very back, so asked if we could sit elsewhere, was told yes not a problem, the lady then said they had no more Sunday lunches and could only order from normal menu. So we ordered 3 different meals for lunch. This was about 1520. At 1600 we asked where our meal was to be told that it hadn't been sent through to the kitchen! Eventually the food came out - footie had kicked off by this time, defeating the object of out for lunch before kick off! Very disappointed in the way we were treated. Will not be...

Shocking couldn’t organise a piss up in a burrey the glasses are dirty the knife’s and forks was dirty, the Sunday menu has no choice the chef come out of the kitchen shouting that their isn’t any fish and chips even tho no one had asked for it, the roast dinner come out cold had no veg no stuffing the parsnip that they call seasonal veg was burnt to the point you couldn’t eat it, definitely wouldn’t not recommend this establishment to anyone to the management who are in charge of this place you need to get your staff on the same page as to what they actually have to serve and the customer service is absolutely shocking this is the worse green king pub I have been too definitely will not be...
