Barleycorn in Forest Heath

Sir John Barleycorn has recently been taken over by a new owner and is consequently under new management. We had lunch there yesterday, the food is really lovely, service was amazing and because it was Father’s Day dad got a special gift which was a really nice touch. it was good fresh wholesome food and we each enjoyed three courses. All in all it was a very pleasant lunch experience and we will, without a doubt be going back there soon

We enjoyed our stop off at the Sir John Barleycorn. We arrived off the highway coming back up towards London. The pub has a beautiful thatched roof but the service was great. We were told the pub has recently re-opened and they clearly have done a great job. The decor was really nice and comfortable for regular relaxed dining and the service was helpful, friendly and professional but also very comfortable. I had a great Sunday Roast of Gammon, my wife the tasty Seafood Linguine and my little boy a very nice pasta with sauce. We hope to stop back again whenever we head down to Poole area and wish the business all the best of luck!

Lamb shank and Salomon meals were fabulous. Great looking building.

We have always loved this place just off the M27 ideal as a stopover after a long drive giving you a nice rest with a lovely meal to continue on your journey. A great menu with a varied choice to suit all.

Food here has always been consistently good the service is great and the location is perfect for a quick getaway. Garden is loveley in season and Sunday Roasts are perfect. Manager can be a little bit of a control freak but his wife more than makes up for it in calmness and charm

A group of eight of us had Friday lunch at the Sir John Barleycorn and all eight of us was hugely satisfied. Tony and team were very welcoming and the food was amazing! If we'd stayed there longer, I think we would have gone there for all our meals. Their garden looks gorgeous too for the summer. Thank you!

Have been coming here every few weeks for the past few months when meeting up with different people. Food always really tasty, great portions and they handle gf (coeliac) perfectly with plenty to choose from. Always welcoming staff, convenient location for those traveling from different directions. Look forward to my next visit.

Found this place off the off chance walking our dogs, great coffee and amazing service. Will definitely have to go back to to try something to eat as food smelt good
