About The Barley Mow
The Barley Mow is a dog-friendly pub at 27 Crosshall Rd in St Neots. Seating is split between the main bar and a conservatory garden room. Four specials boards cover the food offer, and a steak night and quizzes give the pub set events alongside its regular meals. The roast lunch comes with pork, apple sauce and crackling, roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding, and it is usually fully booked. Disco and music nights round out the entertainment.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers return most for the Sunday lunch, where the roast pork with apple sauce and crackling, roasted courgette and peppers, leek cheese, roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding draws the loudest praise. Close behind are the tempura prawns on a bed of onions and peppers, described as filling, and the onion baggy starter, with the mixed berry bread and butter pudding also singled out. Several call the food freshly cooked, homemade and generous in portion, and a few mention the specials boards and good prices. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and welcoming, and the landlady gets a mention too. Beer and drinks selection, weekend music and discos, the conservatory, garden room and outside seating, and a dog friendly room come up as part of the relaxed local atmosphere. One reviewer looks forward to the steak night and quizzes. No recurring complaints appear. One reviewer says they booked ahead for Sunday lunch because it is usually fully booked by the weekend, and the same reviewer notes that neither child wanted pudding after the kids' chicken.
