The Barley Mow, Oakley

Yes. Kevin and Jenny have both left The Barley Mow.

Lets hope that the new owners will now make as most use out of the location and character of the building, as possible.

Maybe they may seduce the other 95% of the village to frequent the Pub.

Castle Inn, Totnes

I visited this pub on a random day and spent the best part of the evening drinking Otter Ale.

Random people. Insane.

The Barley Mow, Oakley

Very well. I'm glad you had a good time there citypoolrg21.
Seems as if there are a mixture of opinions on the Barley Mow.
I've spoken with many and it has been a concern for a long time about how this pub should be so much better.

The food here seems to be a local joke.
Very often you can hear the microwave go... and I think it's too pricey for what it is...
Dog hairs in your food... Along with Jenny's hair.

Kevin is drunk from 16:00 and has to retire to bed by 20:00...
(It's a long time when you have to listen to him make sexist and degrading remarks).

I will never step foot back in this place.
The heart of the village... And I think it is also the oldest part of the village... yet they let one side of the pub be dominated with drunks and fools... a sticky floor which has suffered because of spilt Zambucas and careless drunks.

A pool-table cramped in to the corner... Where you can't even enjoy a game of pool.

The other-side has a very somber and dull atmosphere.

It makes me angry... How they haven't thought about anyone else in Oakley Village... and only cater for the regulars.
There's so many people... Respectable people that don't go there and for very good reason too.

How about using some experience and using the location and building as a tool to lift this pub up? Just like it should be...

The sooner this land-lord and land-lady are gone... THE BETTER.
