Golden Barley Hotel

Dogs welcome

Updated 22 May 2026

The Golden Barley is a relaxed, locally loved pub with a nice outdoor space to settle in with your dog.

The beer garden is the heart of the venue, and you can access it directly from the street, which makes arrivals easy. It’s a pretty, well-kept space with trees and plants throughout, giving dogs a bit to sniff and explore while you settle in. The area is also sheltered and shaded, with strong outdoor heaters making it a comfortable option in winter.

It’s the kind of place that feels easy and welcoming, with a laid-back local vibe that suits both people and dogs.

Dog rules

Dogs are welcome in the beer garden, with access via the street or by walking through the bar area.

Please keep dogs leashed, calm, and under control for the comfort of all patrons.

The Barley, as it is known locally, is a fantastic pub! Lots of seating in either the main bar, the dining area or if you’re lucky you can grab a table in the courtyard out back (very popular in summer). Our meals were a decent size and the chicken parmy was tender, tasty and gone too fast.😉 We started off with the garlic bread and yeah it tasted great, but I thought it was cut a bit too thin and there was too much ‘crust’ and not enough actual bread. Like I said, the taste was there, I just would have gone for another type of bread. The nachos one of my friends had was huge, after adding a serve of beef brisket for something different. I was definitely having food envy and secretly hoping she didn’t finish it all! My partner had British fish and chips served with mushy peas and a side of vinegar. He said it was delicious and the fish looked flaky and fresh. There was a meat raffle when we were there (Thursday night), tickets handed out with each purchase. For some reason, maybe where we were sitting, each time someone left the pub they gave us their tickets! We had so many we were bound to win…..and that we did! Two meat trays were heading their way to our homes! That’s dinner sorted for a few days. 😊 The Barley really is a local. Staff are welcoming, friendly and it has a really good atmosphere.

Absolutely loved this place. The vibes are fantastic. warm, relaxed, and welcoming, with a beautiful space that makes you want to sit back and enjoy your time. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive from start to finish, making the whole experience even better. You can really feel that they care about both the food and the customers. The food was excellent. The chefs did a fantastic job. Everything was cooked perfectly, full of flavour, and clearly made with care and skill. It’s one of those meals where you can genuinely taste the quality and effort behind it. I would recommend the Ribeye steak, it was absolutely perfect. Overall, an amazing experience with great atmosphere, great service, and outstanding food. I’ll definitely be coming back again and would happily recommend this place to anyone.

Great service, very cool vibes in the garden area - the cookie and ice cream were delicious, the other food unfortunately just was not up to standard at all.. they did make up for it and refund which is why I’m not leaving a one star - especially since the general vibe of the place was very nice and cookie was super delicious.

Great tasting pub food with reasonable portions and prices. The service was quick and friendly. The dining area was modern and clean. We had the fish of the day (mulloway) and steaks. All were great. We will be back again. Highly recommended!
