Nicely decorated modern pub situated at the edge of Cannock Chase. Has a nice beer garden, outdoor and indoor children's play area. Children are welcome until 10 pm. Lasagne is delicious, staff is friendly, prices are affordable. #foodie #stafford #eatinginn #barleymow #UK
Great place to have breakfast. Nice friendly staff, big car park and nice decor inside. The place is open from 9am and serves a good selection of breakfast.
I had the steak and eggs today. They didn't have the asparagus so asked me what I wanted instead. Nice pan fried mushrooms were a lovely substitute. I also ordered the sourdough toasted which I think is a great accompaniment.
The rump steak was medium rare, busy l as like it. The fried eggs could have been done for a another 30 sec but that's me being fussy. The potato rostied were divine and up there with the best I have had. Nicely crisp on the outside, light and fluffy on the inside.
Overall a nice hearty breakfast to start the day with.
So if you fancy a nice breakfast or catch up with friends in the am, it's a place I will highly recommend for a visit.
This place has certainly improved since I was last in, which admittedly was a few years back. Yes, it's a chain pub, but the food has lost its "ping it" chain pub feel. We were really impressed. Great location for post walk beers too. The only downside for me is the size, which means it's not so cosy....but it does mean that you can generally get a table.

My experience here was excellent. The food was great and delicious. The atmosphere was fun and the service incomparable. I’m currently on vacation from the US and I was recommended to try barrel beer. I enjoyed it a lot with a double espresso. The waitress was patient and amazing. I wish I had asked her for her name but shout out to her! Will definitely be back next time I’m in the UK, sooner than later.
Food was fantastic, the BBQ platter is a great new addition to the menu and tasted amazing. Adult section had a nice little touch of where the lighting is dimmer of an an evening with candles lit on the table to make the atmosphere a little more refined. Been a few times and not faulted the service, lot of new faces but all are very attentive and polite. Excellent visit yet again. Establishment is a credit to the local area.
Had a lovely meal followed by a sharing dessert.
It was quite busy on the day but the staff were all very friendly and helpful. As with all eating places now prices have increased but taking this into account the meal was good value for money. Would have no hesitation eating here again. And all in a lovely setting, close to shugborough and some lovely walks
Nice Food,
Nice Place
Nice Big parking
Nice and friendly staff
I went with my wife and she had lunch and I had a nice desert.
It was the first time I’ve eaten here with my family and the food was delicious. The menu offered lots of different options which was great for my fussy sister. The staff were very friendly and answered any questions I had and suggested the fudge cake it was just what I wanted. Overall I’ll definitely bring my family here to eat again.
Had a lovely meal last night. Table for 4. The pub was very busy. Staff friendly, service quick, food hot and delicious, great service will definitely be back
Visited today for Sunday lunch, the staff were really helpful. The food was lovely and the service was great! It’s great they offer a gluten free menu!

Would eat here again
It was our first time here at the Barley Mow and first impressions were good. Booked a table for 1515 and we were shown to our table. The food was absolutely delicious and well presented. I would of given this venue a full house of five stars but unfortunately the service is poor even though the place wasn’t all that busy and the staff took this as to their advantage to chit chat amongst themselves. Overall though it’s a lovely place and I would definitely return!
The food was excellent, and the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The place was popular but the wait for the food was not too long. All in all a very enjoyable experience.
Fantastic food . Didn't take any photos . There was a mistake made with our starter, which they handled really well, apologised and didn't charge us for it . I think thats the test of an establishment - when they get things wrong and how they deal with it. I couldn't fault them. Every dish was banging - especially the chicken sharer and steak sandwich . Would recommend .
Very lovely place the servers were very polite and had lovely manners towards my children, including making sure food was at right temperature for them before serving it. X
