Welcome to the John Barleycorn

The John Barleycorn is situated at Goring on Thames in stunning Oxfordshire countryside and witihin a short walk of The Royal River Thames. A warm and friendly welcome is waiting for all that visit us.

The building itself dates from the 17th Century. Formerly 3 cottages knocked into one building, it has customary original oak beams, low ceilings and uneven floors! There are two bars, a public bar with a real fireplace for a warmer in the winter months, also a lounge bar with its own entrance and is situated next to the restaurant where customers can enjoy a pre-dinner drink if they so choose. We serve light lunches, traditional daily changing 'specials' and a full evening menu. The bar itself is intimate and serves two real ales, draught lager and cider and is complemented with a good selection of wines and spirits. For those who like to eat outside there is an enclosed beer garden with benches. Situated upstairs there is a meeting room that can cater for parties of up to 18.
