The Barley Mow looks quite interesting with lots of exterior wood panelling and inside the door a large chalkboard boasts that the pub is 460 years old, which I can well believe. This is a large pub with a long L-shaped bar that supports standard and premium keg products as well as five handpumps. Titanic Steerage and Brains Rev. James were available whilst Greene King Old Speckled Hen, Wainwright and Titanic Anchor were ‘coming soon’… Lol! Food is available, the burger is priced at £7.30 and comes with a free pint.
There are lots of different seating areas, too many for me to be bothered to describe, but the main theme is dark wood, exposed brick and bookshelf wallpaper. Most of the seating areas have televisions for airing live sport.
The town centre location right on the main square means that this pub brings in the shoppers and families looking for the good deal on food. However, the vibe is corporate and there is no atmosphere. Even the barman was completely devoid of any emotion. I’ll not be revisiting just for a beer again.

Looks the part from outside, an ancient building on the otherwise redeveloped old Fish Market. Whilst the interior is good, the corporate Stonegate ownership ruins it, mostly filled with families eating processed food on a Saturday afternoon. Five clipped handpumps of which two were on, the other three ‘coming soon’ (mmm, yeah right). a half of Doom Bar was exceptionally cheap at £1.15 though.

A rather garish looking pub for where it is. Situated in a market square its somehow just looks out of place. Its a decent pub with an older worldly feel inside. Lots of offshoot areas and child friendly of an afternoon, which can be annoying. Real ales available.
