Why we love it

Kissing the edge of a rather large industrial estate, The Barley Mow provides the perfect stop for a thirsty traveller coming in from Temple Meads, if they know where to look. Luckily, if you haven’t just got in via the train, you can head to the beginning of the Bristol to Bath Cycle Path and there it will appear. The Barley Mow is owned by Bristol Beer Factory so you are guaranteed to find good beer on the taps. Look hard when you come in and you will find the door leading to a lovely, covered garden with plenty of plants and flowers, you will forget the pubs neighbour is a timber merchant. Their Sunday Roasts have been put in the top ten in Bristol and, like all good pubs, the quiz in on a Monday.
