Barleycorn

You'll find Barleycorn tucked away on Lower Cippenham Lane, the kind of spot that locals actually frequent rather than tourists hunting for Instagram moments. It's got that comfortable, unpretentious vibe where you can settle in with a pint and proper conversation—whether you're after a weeknight drink or bringing mates round for food. The place takes its beer seriously enough without being pretentious about it, and the kitchen turns out the kind of stuff that pairs well with a cold one. It's the sort of pub that makes you realise Slough's got more going on than people give it credit for.
