“I like taking my daughter to the Barley Mow (stittsville is our go to but almonte is a favorite drive)... We went tonight. Dinner for 2 plus 2 non alcoholic drinks (I was driving us) came to $44 taxes in. We go there all the time so I gave a nice tip. The owner/manager and staff are amazing. And the new menu *(after covid limited menu) is really fantastic. We are trying something new every time. Tonight I tried chicken tacos and she had a huge bowl of poutine. Both were amazing. Deffo recommended! (Unfortunately I couldn't get a pic of the dishes, my phone was near dead and I needed it to pay as I forgot my purse but they then charged my phone for me!!)“

“c'est la première fois que nous y allons et je dois dire que c'est un service incroyable de la part des 2 femmes qui travaillaient ce soir, un excellent service, une excellente ambiance et un excellent emplacement, et le fromage en grains était excellent. Il faut absolument s'arrêter ici si jamais vous êtes dans le coin. Le pub Pele Mele est un excellent arrêt à faire“

“Popped into this busy street pub and enjoyed a relaxed atmosphere. The food was good, classic pub dishes that hit the spot, even if nothing extraordinary. Service was friendly and efficient, making the visit comfortable and easy. It’s a great place if you want a casual drink and a bite without any fuss.“

“5 stars all the way for The Royal Oak at Centerpointe—and a special shoutout to Ian, our server, who made our visit truly exceptional. Having worked in the restaurant industry for over 10 years, I know what great service looks like, and Ian absolutely delivered. He was attentive without being overbearing, friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about providing guests with a great experience. It’s rare to come across servers like that, and it really made a difference.

We went during happy hour, and the deals were fantastic. It’s not just bar rail drinks—there’s bottled beer, house wine, and a solid selection of cocktails all at great prices. The food specials were equally impressive. We ordered the nachos and the fish tacos, both of which were fresh, well-portioned, and flavorful. The nachos were loaded and crispy (not soggy!) and the fish tacos had a great balance of textures and seasoning.

The space was clean and comfortable, with a relaxed pub vibe that felt welcoming without being too loud or crowded. Overall, this is the kind of local spot you want to return to—great food, great value, and truly outstanding service. We’ll definitely be back, and we’ll be asking for Ian again!“

“Great service, food and daiquiris. I will definitely be back!“

“Always a great customer experience at Blue Diamond! Highly recommend. Pizza is amazing and so is all the Indian food.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My wife and I decided to take our twin girls out for a relaxed lunch at The British Pub in Aylmer, and it ended up being a wonderful experience from start to finish. The moment we walked in, we were welcomed by a cozy, comfortable atmosphere that felt perfect for a family outing. The service was truly outstanding — warm, friendly, and attentive, making us feel like valued guests the entire time. Our server was great with the kids, too, which we really appreciated. Our food came out quickly and was absolutely delicious. Everything was perfectly cooked and full of flavour — exactly what we were hoping for. The portions were generous and reasonably priced, making this an even better value for a family lunch. The relaxed, easygoing vibe made it a perfect spot for parents who just want to enjoy a tasty meal and spend some quality time together without any stress. We left The British Pub feeling full, happy, and eager to come back. Definitely a great place to enjoy good food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended!“
