A pub atmosphere with great music and friendly staff. Huge portion of fish and chips, fried crispy and not oily. Next time I want to try the Sunday roast!

A great sports bar to sit and watch UK sports. It isn't open every day so it is wise to check the opening hours before you visit. The interior is decorated with everything you would find in a UK pub. The landlady is very welcoming...and attentive to her customers......a great place for a pint and to watch the sport.More

We have been working hard preparing our boat for the Summer Season and had worked up a healthy appetite! We were not disappointed!! The roast dinner was as good as home, and reminded me of my Nans home cooked roast dinner! There was a choice...of Lamb/Beef or Pork and you could have all three if you wanted! My husband had Pork & Lamb and I had the Beef! They came with perfectly cooked Broccoli,Carrots, peas and even Cauliflower Cheese! Roast potatoes and a HUGE Yorkshire Pudding!…… Gravy and they even had mint sauce/mustard and horseradish!! It was delicious!! And more than enough to satisfy a big appetite! To top it all off we had Apple Pie and a Chocolate Soufflé (which was like the M&S chocolate sponge with sauce in the middle) both were served with ice cream and were absolutely delicious!! They are so very friendly and welcoming we can’t recommend the Old Barrel highly enough!! We are looking forward to returning here when we are back at Easter!!More

This English type pub has a good variety of meals at reasonable prices. Sunday lunch menu is fantastic value and consists of typical English roast dinner. The menu includes some Greek dishes and also pizzas. The portions are generous.Service is pleasant albeit rather slow and...the pub / restaurant lacks atmosphere although when we visited it wasn't high season and was very quiet so maybe different in high season when it maybe busier. The choice of drinks is average as is the cost . Seating is not the most comfortable but adequate.There is a pool table available in the interior room by the bar.It is situated at the edge of the small road between Gouvia and Kontokoli .More

Had the most amazing Sunday roast, a taste of home! This family run restaurant is the best way to watch the Grand Prix, drink great wine and eat a really great roast dinner! If you come to Corfu you must come here!

Have the privilege to visit this bar several times over the years and they never fail to extend a warm welcome to you. The reason for my review after my latest visit is to rave about their Subday roast. We've all tried a roast whilst...abroad, whilst I'm sure we enjoyed to some extent but it's never like a roast as we Brits know it. Well, I have to be corrected as The Old Barrel did just that. Choice of three meats and 3 of us had the beef and 1 had the lamb. You could have heard a pin drop whilst we were eating - we were enjoying it that much. Excellent beef, soft and market in your mouth and the gravy was second to none. My husband said the lamb was exceptional too. All in all I can't recommend this place and their good enough. It's a quiet place, but sometimes you just need that.More

This small restaurant was our eatery of choice for 4 nights because of the quality and the size of portions. The local cod and chips special is excellent value.
