The Barley Mow has changed very little through the ages. Real Ales are kept in the cellar and are still served by hand pump. Today, the pub continues to provide hospitality for locals and visitors alike, and the many photographs and artifacts on its walls give testimony to its long and interesting history. The Barley Mow continues to be run as a busy and well-loved pub – frequented by people from all walks of life, from travellers passing through, to its “locals”. Watching the cricket with a pint, leaning on the wall outside in the summer, to the warm glow of the open log fires and a glass of mulled wine in the winter – it remains one of life’s constants.
