Pub Layout
The main entrance is located at the rear of the pub. It operates as a one-bar setup, featuring a mix of fixed and loose seating arranged around a feature log burner that adds to the warm, cosy atmosphere. The pub is well-maintained internally and includes a catering kitchen equipped to support a high-quality food menu. Additional seating is available in a separate area, featuring private, cosy tables for a more intimate dining experience. There is a large, enclosed garden with ample seating, perfect for enjoying outdoor meals and drinks. The garden includes an Aunt Sally throw for added entertainment. Parking is well accommodated with space for approximately 20 cars. This combination of inviting interior spaces and appealing outdoor areas makes The Barley Mow a versatile venue, suited for both everyday gatherings and special occasions.
Trading Style
The Barley Mow is situated in an affluent, well-established village, with a strong and mature community. The nearby Heyford Park development is growing rapidly and will continue to expand in the coming years, offering significant future potential for business growth. With limited local competition, the pub serves as the essential community hub for the area. The Barley Mow is currently trading as a mid-market, friendly community pub, offering a menu featuring locally sourced, high-quality ingredients, a selection of real ales and modern, popular brands, and a strong and diverse offering of wines and spirits. This combination of great food, drink, and welcoming service ensures the pub maintains its status as a destination for both locals and visitors alike.
Accommodation
The private accommodation consists of two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a lounge area. There is no domestic kitchen, but there is a fully fitted commercial kitchen downstairs that can be utilised.

BDM Vision
This is an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic and energetic individual or couple to take the reins of The Barley Mow, a pub primed to be the heart of its local community. It thrives best as a mid-market, community-friendly establishment, offering high-quality food made from locally sourced ingredients, real ales, and modern, popular brands, a well-curated selection of wines and spirits with fantastic customer service and regular opening hours. The Barley Mow is the village’s community hub and has the potential to be a destination pub for surrounding areas.
Initially, we’re looking for a short-term licensee, but there’s potential for a longer-term arrangement depending on mutual interest. With a solid business strategy and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, The Barley Mow can once again be the beating heart of the community.
