The Barley Mow - Cherwell

If you choose to order from the Golden Days menu and want to enjoy a £2 dessert from the same menu, you must also order and pay for a main dish pudding at the same time. Unfortunately, this requirement is not clearly stated on the menu and we were not informed about it at the time of ordering.

We stopped for a quick lunch during our long journey and were pleasantly surprised by the warm reception and very affordable prices. The surf and turf and Mediterranean chicken dishes were delicious. The staff were lovely and made our meal even more enjoyable.

We had to wait for our table even though we had made a reservation. The staff was not the most friendly or attentive. A little customer service can make a big difference. It took a while for our food to arrive, but considering there were 10 of us, it was understandable. The food was tasty, though we had to request cutlery because it wasn't provided with our main course or dessert. Overall, I would give this restaurant 4 stars - 3 for the food quality and 1 for the service.

Fantastic family venue. Very attentive staff and they couldn't of done more for us. Thank you very much, we shall be returning

Staff were warm, welcoming and accommodating Food was very good and good value. Would definitely visit again.
