We haven't been to the barley for 2 years I'd say after a few bad experiences. Well what a turn around ! Our food was lovely and the service was the best its ever been ! With 3 kids under 7 we are a bit of a handful but have to say everything was very tasty and very good value especially after a expensive x mas and new year ! We will be back and be telling friends and family that it's well worth a visit again !

This is a fantastic place for lunch - we weren?t sure what to expect, but we were given a warm welcome and had a fantastic time. Top marks to the staff - happy, helpful and full of smiles and genuine warmth. The menu is great - lots of choice - and the food itself is outstanding value. We had a dog with us, and they couldn?t make her more welcome - with water bowls and lots of cuddles! I?d also give a shoutout to the general atmosphere. It?s always a good sign when other customers are enjoying themselves. This was a 10/10 stop for us? and we will be back!

Having eaten here 10 months ago for the first time (and given a possitive review?) my wife and I decided whilst in Banbury we would pay another visit. When the food finally arrived We played a fascinating game of guess the meat, neither of us would've guessed it started it's life as a chick, i have shared a bath with less rubbery birds (quack quack) We spent the whole meal looking around for Ant and Dec, convinced we were in the middle of a bush Tucker trial. The fact no staff member came to ask if the food was OK leads me to assume they know how bad it was. Certainly shan't be returning unless we suddenly get the urge to chow down on incinerated road kill

We have been a few times recently after not entertaining this lovely pub for a number of years due to previously poor experiences, the previous time was a pleasant surprise but our latest visit for my Daughters 5th Birthday meal was frankly incredible! Atmosphere was very calm, staff were welcoming and interactive, food was incredible for the second time in a row, service was outstanding and the catering for my daughters dairy allergy was second to none! An additional mention for the effort the bar manager and chef made to give my daughter some additional fruit for dessert shaped in a 5 for her (not their fault but not much she can have sadly). She was so happy and the fuss they made for her really made her special day end on a massive high! Would highly recommend and so pleased to see such a great pub come back from some previous very low lows! Will recommend once again!

We have recently moved to hanwell fields. We tried our local pub, which was awful. So we thought we would try the next neatest pub. There wasn't much atmosphere. Tables left with plates and glasses on for ages with staff just walking past them. They weren't even that busy. The staff just seemed bored and uninterested. We had food, which was OK. Standard sizzler. It could be a great pub with the right management and staff.

Am a local and have been for a long time , no gents toilets for 2 weeks now , it?s a joke , management don?t seem to care , the brewery should be disgusted with them selves for allowing this ,

Stopped for quick lunch to break up a lengthy journey. Great welcome, very reasonable prices. Surf n turf, Mediterranean chicken both went down well. Lovely people.

We had a lunch which was the chicken tikka masala. It was the hottest curry I have ever tasted (I normally eat chicken madras so I?m not a curry virgin) it was full of chillis and to me inedible. My husband ate a little more than me but his eyes were watering with every mouthful. When we complained, the only reaction we received was ?very sorry, I?ll let the kitchen know?. We left feeling very disappointed with the response we received. We would have at the very least expected a drink on the house. Shan?t be returning again.

I booked a table for 15 for our wedding,they made such am effort to make it extra special for us. They had balloons the works done and we were so impressed amd grateful. The staff was so friendly and welcoming,we was giving a free bottle of preseco which was lovely and did not have to do. The food was amazing,amd everyone enjoyed it,got everything right. My gather in law asked for more gravy and they were more then happy to gey him some and came back with small jugs for him. All in all I would highly recommend this place. Lovely pub,lovely staff who go above and beyond amd great food for the price
