“This is a fantastic opportunity for applicants with the ability and desire to run a beautiful countryside pub and become the heart of the community.
Applicants should be enthusiastic, motivated and passionate about customer service and ensuring a great guest experience.
This pub would ideally suit an operating couple, one of whom is an experienced chef.”
Peter Hurdle
Business Development Partner, South East Region
The Barley Mow is a lovely pub situated in the affluent village of Tandridge, between Godstone and Oxted in Surrey. Although in a rural location, the pub is only 5 minutes from the M25, nestled just off the A22 between Godstone and Old Oxted, and within easy access of Gatwick Airport and London.
The local area is predominantly rural, with small towns and pretty villages. It features a large area of the Surrey Hills to the north and agricultural lands to the south. Oxted is one of the largest towns in the district and has the main A25 road running through it. A medium sized town, it offers pubs, cafes, leisure facilities, an attractive park, and a good range of retail outlets. Lingfield is one of the more well known nearby villages, predominantly because it’s home to the famous Lingfield Park Racecourse, but the village also has a number of interesting historical features.
The Barley Mow is a fantastic opportunity to run a quality village local in a desirable part of the country. The pub has a traditional bar and restaurant and an excellent garden with wheelchair access.
With a spacious interior, full of character and charm, the Barley Mow is well known for music and themed food nights. It needs to be established as both the heart of the community and a destination pub for high quality food and drink.
The pub has 2 years remaining on the head lease and is therefore a great project for an operator to take on and run as a successful business. The rent will be negotiable and the agreement will run until June 2026.
The domestic accommodation is extensive and comprises a 2 bedroom self-contained flat with a bathroom, kitchen and lounge/dining room, plus an additional 5 bedrooms.
Bedrooms – 7
Private kitchen – 1
Lounge / dining room – 1
Bathrooms – 1
The pub currently attracts a diverse guest base, including local residents, workers and residents of Oxsted. The Barley Mow is extremely popular with friend and family groups as a meeting point.
Steady lunch and early evening dining trade build throughout the week to peak trading days at the weekend.

FMT is the level of turnover and profit that we believe that the business is capable of delivering if being operated competently. The FMT is usually calculated by the Business Development Partner for the pub to rent, who will produce a shadow profit and loss account for the business which supports the rent. A copy of the shadow profit and loss account will be provided during the recruitment process.
Please see our Code of Practice for more information on FMT and rent. The Fair Maintainable Trade is not a guarantee of levels of trade or profit that will be made from the business – we strongly recommend you seek appropriate independent legal and business advice as part of your Business Plan.
The Full Investment Breakdown for each public house is higher than the minimum investment we will accept. This is because potential Business Partners with the minimum investment available can still be accepted as we are able to offer them financial support for the rest of the monies.
The working capital incorporates the purchase of stock, glassware, loose catering effects and valuer fees – please note the number quoted on this website are based on estimates. The exact costs will be determined on the day you take on the public house by independent valuers and stock takers. Please see our Code of Practice for more information about investment.
