This was quite a charming little pub located at one of the many entrances to Windsor Great Park…read more Actually, there seem to be a few pubs located at the entrance, as if it is a fairly British thing to go for a walk in the park (I'm not sure if you would call it a hike) and then go and have a beer afterwards. The place certainly had quite a bit of charm about it, sort of what I have come to expect from country pubs in Britain. Yeah, this place was rather delightful, and it had some nice beers as well.

I could pretty much write the same that 'willyum1950' has written as I totally agree with…read moreeverything he has said (apart from I don't live in Addlestone but do live about 2 miles from this pub). This pub is a FANTASTIC pub everything a pub should be. The Barley Mow has many, many regulars and that shows what a fantastic pub this is. The regulars are all very friendly and 'newcomers' are made to feel very welcome. It's dog friendly too and there's lots of regular dogs that enjoy the attention that they always get too. The ale served here is served how it should be. The barrels are looked after and kept at the right temperature in the cellar the pipes are kept clean and all of this makes for a delicious ale. One would think this sounds easy but so many pubs get this wrong the Barley Mow isn't one of them. They frequently rotate the ale and the guest ales are a plenty. Summer lightning and Twickenham ales are regulars I believe. They also sell 'proper' cider but as this isn't my thing, I can't comment on how good it is. John, the landlord, is a friendly, happy guy and clearly enjoys what he does and he does it exceptionally well. This pub continues to win Camra awards year after year and quite rightly so. The live music (Friday/Saturday) is great and everyone joins in. Haven't yet been on a Wednesday but I'm sure it's just as great. Weekend daytimes are great too. It's a perfect place for a pint and reading the newspapers. I have never been to this pub and not enjoyed myself. No beer 'garden' as such but there is an outdoor space with tables/benches that probably seat 50 or so people easily. There's also a car park out the back and plenty of parking out the front. It's a very eclectic place both inside and out (there's a dinosaur outside and loads of lovely odds and ends inside). I'm pretty sure that they offer free wi-fi now too but don't quote me on that. Have been going here for about 5 years now and have no intention of stopping. Will continue to support this fantastic 'local' for as long as I can. Thanks to John and the rest of the staff for running such a great pub. The website has been updated so more info on there http://www.themow.co.uk/ SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL PUB!

Went there recently for dinner. It's a large pub with a number of differently decorated "rooms",…read morealbeit it's all open plan, and a decent sized outdoor eating area. A road separates it from the river so, while it's next to Chertsey Bridge, you don't really get much of a riverside view or feel. They do a decent selection of real ales (I had a well-kept Doom Bar) and an extensive menu. I had the soup of the day (roasted tomato with garlic and basil) with toasted artisan rustic bread & butter (£4.75) followed by Caramelised Fig & Whipped Goat's Curd Pizza with mozzarella and hazelnuts (£10.95). The figs were fresh rather than caramelised, but the pizza was sufficiently large as to make me wish I'd just had that. It was very filling. But both soup and pizza were pretty decent. My dining companion enjoyed the Breaded Buttermilk & Rosemary Chicken Burger with Amarillo chilli mayonnaise and fries for £11.50. Again, the portion was decently sized. Service was reasonably efficient and very friendly, though we decided to sit outside as the piped music (disco tracks, for heaven's sake!) was rather overbearing and too much for normal conversation. Why do these places do that? So I'd eat there again but be careful if you want to have a conversation to ask to be seated away from the speakers. The car park is a bit small and fills up quickly on busy evenings.

While I've visited here a few times I haven't taken the time for a review until now. Last night we went for the traditional Sunday roast, there were three of us and we each selected something different, the chicken, lamb, and beef to try. I also chose to start with a liver and bacon salad as it's not something you see often. The salad was sublime. A perfect mixture of flavors that balanced the saltiness of the meats with a subtle sweetness and crunch from the vegetables. I don't often order liver but if you like it this salad is worth the trip. The roasts themselves were delicious and the gravy was excellent. I can't say I liked the stuffing (much different from the American versions of the same name - more of a cornbread like texture), but the meats were well done and flavorful. The vegetables were good and overall an excellent dinner topped off with some great desserts (brownie and an ice cream sundae). I'm not a drinker so can't comment on the beers, but I can call out the juices they have. They carry Frobisher's, which may or may not be common, but not anything I've had in the US. The Apple-Mango and Orange-Passionfruit juices I had were delicious and worth a try. Particularly the Apple-Mango.

Historically, the original building dates back to 1460. With gardens to the front and back you overlook a big Green. Very rural. They are known for being a popular destination food house but they also have local clientele who pop in for a quiet drink with friends or family. The food can be chosen from a main menu or unique Specials from the chalk boards which allow the Chefs to show their flair! You will be served meals which have been prepared from the freshest of ingredients and cooked to order. To complement your meal there is an extensive choice of quality wines or a good selection of real ales if preferred. This is a very friendly, welcoming place so do go along soon and sample some delicious Fayre, a quality pint and maybe some light entertainment, if you pick the right night.
