I do not think anyone goes here for the food - it just happens to be a convenient location. The service is slow and the food is average. It is what it is.
Need a more varried menu!
Restaurant is too loud
The decor is open, airy and bright (rare these days) albeit noisy at times. The meal was well prepared, served warm and very appeasing to the eye.
Like most gastro-pubs, Barlows offers gorgeous cocktails with dressed up bar food like pizza and sliders. Nice in the summer when you can sit out, and usually possible to park there.
