   I had some hours to kill before taking a train and felt very welcomed by the bar staff who made sure I had somewhere to sit even though they were actually fully booked. I drank a couple of flavourful real ales from a Bristol brewery and had a delicious vegetarian Sunday roast. I strongly recommend this pub.

   Always a good atmosphere, and a great selection of ales - mostly from the Beer Factory in Bedminster (which owns the pub) but also from further afield. Some decent ciders too. On my last visit, I treated myself to some halloumi fries, which were perfectly sliced and wonderfully crispy, and my first ever curry wurst which was absolutely KNOCK OUT! It was my first ever curry wurst and by Job I'll be having it again. The sausage and the sauce were just incredible. There is plenty of seating out the front, and lots more out the back - the courtyard garden is lovely in the summer, with some shade for those who prefer it. Honestly, the Barley Mow is one of my favourite pubs in Bristol. Plus - they have even started showing the rugby (Six Nations currently) on a massive screen at one end of the pub. There was a really healthy, loud but good-humoured crowd watching the match.

   15.50 for roast lamb. Barely any meat and finely chopped veg. Yorkshire wasn't bad, but this place has gone down hill in regards to the Sunday lunch. Another example of a pub that thinks they can charge 15 quid for a very average Sunday lunch.

   Excellent local boozer owned by legendary Bristol based artisan brewery Bristol Beer Factory. Excellent range of their beers and other draught beers as well as fridge full of other bottled beers. The Milk Stout was really good. The butternut squash, mac & Triple Cheese was delicious too. Great, fríendly service and good atmosphere in traditional city Public House. It's on the Bristol Bath cycle track. Also a short walking distance from Bristol Temple Meads Train Station.

   Until yesterday I would have agreed with the five star reviews for the food and Sunday roasts. One of my favourite pubs in Bristol, the food has always been tasty and generous, with a bar serving finely kept, excellent beer. Yesterday, 9 October, I booked a table with a friend, ordered the lamb sunday roast and after a long wait, the food arrived. It was odd. The extra we paid for cauliflower cheese was a very small dish and had obviously been sitting under lights for a long time, coated with a tell-tale film and was barely warm. We had a tablespoon of cauliflower cheese each. The main event had decent roast potatoes, but the rest of the veg was a sort of carrotty cabbage mix. The Yorkshire pud was small and soggy (gravy was in a separate jug as requested so it wasn't that) and the lamb was very sparse: a few chunks and bumps of lamb scattered over the cabbage mix. I'd been telling my friend how good the food at BM was so this was hugely disappointing. We weren't asked if everything was okay. My friend didn't want to make a fuss but I should have mentioned the small amount of meat for what we paid. I heard at the bar that there were a lot of 'walk-ins' and so it felt that the food was running low in the kitchen. I asked at the bar before I ordered if there was enough lamb and was told there was. I don't see the point of booking in advance in this case if you can't cater for those who have. We both left hungry and disappointed...ended up sharing a pizza a little later in a pub close by. The two stars are for the beer, the spuds and the bar staff but I will hesitate before choosing the BM for Sunday roast in the future.
