| Wanted a decent night out ,arrived 7.20p.m to my dismay we had a 30 minute wait for drinks and when the waiter turned up explained the head chef walk out the day before and we had to wait 30 mins for our meal and would take our food orders later. most disappointing thing was the waiter took meal orders of other tables forgetting the order we arrived and that is poor service. once they realised they could not cope , they should have given us a choice to go elsewhere or mentioned the waiting time would be an hour plus before they sat us at the table. At 9.15 we left no meal.We later went to Tandoori Indian -didcot for good service great food. terimaya - 26 Sep 2009 14:03 |
| It's a good job the cask mark inspectors haven't been here on a couple of recent Mondays. The Broadside has been fine, but the guest ales have probably been on a day or two too long on my last couple of visits. Still, the food was good, although they're just about to change the specials menu and most of the choices were off; just poor timing on our part? veryfasteddie - 27 Oct 2008 19:40 |
| An historic pub in a good location, but with the uniform Chef & Brewer treatment and matching high prices. The Adnams Broadside was well-presented though, and it is handily placed for Thames walkers. start - 11 May 2008 08:57 |
| The Barley Mow featured in Jerome K Jerome's humourous account of a Thames boating holiday, "Three Men In A Boat" (1889). There are parts of the building that Jerome may still recognise if he could visit it today, but the newer parts have been given the standard Chef & Brewer "Olde English" look, complete with fake plastic beams and junk from the attic. It is a popular venue with reliable food and beer. A recent makeover has provided the front garden with heated canopies for smokers (in advance of the 1st July smoking ban in enclosed public places), while the rear garden is a smoke-free zone. All internal areas are already smoke-free. vufinder - 15 Jun 2007 06:49 |
| Better than expected for a chain pub, with decent beer & good quality food served late. Very nice garden, & next to campsite (fairly basic facilities) & river. malgrey - 21 Jul 2006 17:05 |
