Built to complement the Parrs Wood entertainment complex. Began life as the Bell House changing to the Barlow Croft name in early 2015. With that change in name came an extensive refurbishment and a change in policy towards stocking cask ale. For a time during 2017-18, the pub did serve cask ale; a further change in policy in early 2019 saw its withdrawal. Dabbled again with cask ale in the early 2020s, but availability is patchy The new, quite stylish, decor/upholstery has a clean finish with a 1950s/1960s retro feel in muted shades of green, purple and mid-brown. Part of the Wacky Warehouse chain, the Barlow Croft is, as you would expect, family-friendly and there are several 'Food and Fun' offers available. There is a quieter area near to and to the right of the bar, while the Wacky Warehouse has its own entrance.
