With a daily changing menu and excellent beer options get along to the Barley Mow to see for yourself.

The Venue
The Barley Mow is a cozy, narrow pub with lots of space. You enter from the street through a leafy beer garden. The bar runs the length of the main room with a seating area and eating area tucked off in the back. The lighting is kept low, which creates ambience, and there are nice, original, period features. Big mirrors in gilt frames bounce light around the space and allow for sneaky glances across the room.

The Atmosphere
It's Chiswick, so its hardly likely to ever get rowdy at Barley Mow. The crowd is professional with lots of 'shop talk' going on. The bar staff are friendly and quick off the mark and spend their down time cleaning and polishing - the bar shines as a result.

The Food
Barley Mow has a concise but appetising menu of English food - steak and ale stew and roast lamb stand out at reasonable prices. There are sharing platters and nibbles if you aren't looking for a full meal.

The Drink
There is more than your average brew here: try the Tea - which doesn't come from Tetley’s but rather from Hogs Back Brewery. It’s an excellent classic English ale. They also have IPA and London Pride. Their wine list shows imagination and there is a wide range of choices by glass and bottle with plenty of reasonable options (and a few not so reasonable options for celebrating with).

The Last Word
If you are after an edgy, urban experience then move on, but for a relaxed chat and nice food, The Barley Mow will exceed expectations.
