The Barley Mow, Walderton

A group of us visited this pub one evening after a walk. The beer and wine were fine, but we were very disappointed with the food, service and manager's attitude. It was curry night and various curries were served buffet style. Unfortunately those of us who had a curry found it to be barely warm. On complaining to the young waiter (who didn't appear to be very well trained), he dithered and seemed unsure how to handle the problem. When we asked for the manager he came over only to say that the curry had been served all evening without anyone complaining that it wasn't hot (temperature). When we protested that it was definitely not hot he shrugged his shoulders and walked off. Nothing was offered in the way of recompense for our disappointment. The meals cooked to order were OK however but it is not somewhere I would visit again.
