| Crap food, crap service, don't go there. family_man1974 - 15 Sep 2010 17:59 |
| I used to visit the Sir John Barleycorn a lot going back five or six years ago at least once a week, but stopped going for one reason or another. But recently we decided to go back to the pub. What a shock we had. • On arriving early Saturday evening the gravel car park was filled with six badly parked cars, so we had to park and unload our young family in the road. I know this is a minor point but if the car park was better used I’m sure it would attract more families. • To gain access to the pub we had to walk passed all the smokes stood outside the only entrance. I’m sure this is the same for most pubs but to create a simple smoking area away from the only entrance wouldn’t take much. • On requesting a highchair I was told they are stored in the disabled toilet, which I was shocked as my young child was expected to eat there dinner of it. I asked if the crockery was stored in the gents, but no one understood the comment. • My wife’s drink was below the line on the glass, and the glass had lipstick on it. • The fish cakes came out cold. • Another table next to us complained about there dessert, they were offered a refund but the member of staff bought the refund slammed it down on the table and walked off without a word. I don’t want to seem like I’m being unfair, but as I said I used to visit regularly but now with a family I will not be returning. Hope this review is help full to people and if I do return I will update the review . scottwilson - 22 Mar 2010 13:57 |
| I would add that like customer 500 there are not many pubs that offer this standard of service. At least we must be grateful for that. but customer 500 must have never been to a pub that gives good service! Megnom - 4 May 2009 00:01 |
| I can only echo the comments of Charlieparry. As one of a party of 8 the food supplied was some of worst ever experienced. My steak&ale pudding was horrible.hard outside,fatty inside.A wrap of vegetables-carrot,swede,beans were hardly cooked.the potato was served mashed in the shape of an ice cream dollop. My wife had fish & chips--fish good but chips were not even chips. Cutlery you had to get yourself.and condiments. The price for our two meals was astounding £19.90 Two days before I had a sirloin steak 6oz chips and onions. cooked to perfection service good ,at the Iford Bridge Pub Bournemouth--cost £4.95 Yes ---------£4.95 !!!!

| I am writing with regards to the previous comment. I am a regular user of Sir John, eating there approximatly three or four times a month both for lunch and for dinner. I would like to say that on no account have i had any problems with either the service or the standard of the food and would be extremely happy to recommend the sir john to anyone. I feel that the standard of service is exceptional and the members of staff are more than helpful. There are not many pubs in the area that offer this kind of service. customer500 - 4 Apr 2009 20:47 |
