Our visit to The Sir John Barleycorn in Cadnam was nothing short of fantastic! From the moment we stepped inside, we were welcomed by the warm and inviting ambiance of this charming pub. The blend of traditional decor with modern comforts made it a perfect spot for a relaxing meal. The menu was impressive, offering a variety of mouth-watering options. I decided to try the steak and ale pie, and it was delicious – the pastry was perfectly flaky, and the filling was rich and flavourful. My friend had the seafood platter, which was fresh and beautifully presented. Both dishes were generous in portion and tasted amazing. The service was outstanding. The staff were friendly, attentive, and genuinely cared about our dining experience. They were happy to accommodate our requests and even recommended some excellent local ales to complement our meals. The dessert was the highlight of our evening. We shared a homemade apple crumble with custard, and it was the perfect end to a wonderful meal – comforting, sweet, and utterly satisfying. If you’re in Cadnam and looking for a place with excellent food, great service, and a cozy atmosphere, The Sir John Barleycorn is a must-visit. We can’t wait to return!

Beautiful thatched roof pub/restaurant, essentially serving Indian dishes. We were a party of 56 people, on a daytrip to the New Forest. We had booked one of the 2 restaurant room and the whole experience has been very positive. Everyone enjoyed their meal and an exceptionally efficient and courteous staff. The owner, who seems to be also the chef is extremely helpful and pleasant. I am more than happy to recommend the place.

The food was excellent. Both the Indian and pub classic menus offered lots of choice. We all had Indian starters and one opted for a steak for main course. Everything was served perfectly with only one side dish being a little delayed. They really deserve to win an award for the food.

Excellent service. Clean, large modern looking pub on the inside and stunning country style looking on the outside. A drink selection with 3 ales I think there were. There was a British standard pub menu with kids option but also a very good Authentic Indian menu too. The best Indian I have had in years actually. I recommend the Goan Cod Curry. The rice is cooked perfectly too. Naan bread was also the best i have ever had too. Clean toilets. Family friendly. Very friendly service. Dog friendly too. Reasonably priced with good portion size too. Really worth the trip out there. I will be going back despite it being a 55 minute drive. It was quiet but then it was only 4pm so between rush periods - means you get an excellent service from the staff.
