Bellissimo pub in campagna. Mi sono fermata a mangiare sulla strada dall'aeroporto ed è stata una pausa incantevole: il cibo era buono ma soprattutto l'atmosfera del locale era molto accogliente. Bellissimo il giardino fiorito.

We celebrated mum’s 80th birthday at The John Barleycorn, with the whole event seamlessly planned and executed thanks to the dedication, care and hospitality of the whole team. The food was exquisite, big portions and very good value, catered for coeliac. The staff were so friendly, service was brilliant and the whole party served on time. Such a lovely venue and great atmosphere. All staff smiled and no request too much. We will be back! Thank you Tracey to you and the whole team for giving my dear mum a wonderful 80th birthday celebration. ❤️

Me and my family had the most fantastic meal here at the John Barleycorn. Service was fabulous with such happy friendly staff to greet and serve you everything was just perfect, we all enjoyed different meals and my stepdad was so amazed with the pork with sprinkled crackling he talked about it all the way home! We can't wait to come back, thank you for a great night!

We were travelling home from a short break and booked into this pub for a Sunday roast on the way home. It is a really nice location, with an ample car park and outdoor garden area. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The food was really good, everyone thoroughly enjoyed all 3 courses.

Probably the best food I have ever eaten in a pub . And by the way what a pub . Staff 5 stars 🌟 Service 5 stars 🌟 Food 5 stars 🌟. We will return. Meals for 5 people under £100. Excellent value and I must give the Chef 10 stars 🌟. Tiny gripe they add on a Service charge. Don't normally tip if they do that but this time I did as everything was outstanding 👌 Please visit you will not be disappointed. Thank you.

Beautiful restaurant, we had our wedding reception there on 6th June 2026 and we couldn’t have asked for better service, the food was amazing, the staff really looked after everyone, letting us take our time between each course nothing was too much trouble for them, would highly recommend for any function or for a lovely place to go for a drink or meal thank you so much for everything you done for us and we will see you soon Sharon and Rick

Went along to the John Barleycorn yesterday on a late booking and luckily managed to get a table for 6, what a lovely pub! The food was great, one of the best Sunday roasts we've had in a long time! Beautiful garden where the kids enjoyed playing. We'll definitely be returning soon with friends.
