Barley Mow, Leicester

I have no real comments on the drinks which were served but the food is a big NO.... My work place had booked for our Christmas Party (approx figure of 25), we pre-ordered our food requirements to allow the pub to get the food in and to have it ready to be served for 1.30pm.... On arrival at the pub we were asked to pay for our food (which raised suspision and in hind sight we should have said no and left there and then). The first course started to arrive at approx 2.15pm and apart from the delay there was no real complaints. After around 20mins of the last person to finish this course the plates were collected and then we waited.... and waited.... and waited. Eventually the main course started to be served, after around half a dozen or so plates being served, the food started to be sent back (being cold, not being cooked etc...). At this stage it was decided enough was enough, and we approached the management to ask for our money back. Needless to say, this was refused and after an exchange of words the group left. If the poor service was down to the amount of numbers, then the pub should not have taken the order in the first place. My only advice DON'T GO TO THE BARLEY MOW FOR GROUP BOOKINGS.
