Hello to all followers & friends of The Barrhead!

A year ago, we announced the closure of The Barrhead. While many, including ourselves, were disappointed with the news...we (Chris, Jenn, the kids) also knew that it was going to be the opportunity to truly follow our dreams and begin to work on our vision of what this beautiful and historic place could be both as our home and as a business we're passionate about and would benefit the community.

We have been working hard over the past year to fully transform the old restaurant into a completely new business. If you've driven by in the last few months, you've likely started to see what we mean from afar.

With that said - We want to use this as an opportunity to share with all of you who were friends of The Barrhead, that on Saturday October 21st - We will be reopening a new business here under a new name - Mill Pond Home Decor.

Mill Pond has been a long time dream of Jennifer's - That will be a shop with a passion for heritage decor, with a modern look & feel. The shop will include up-cycled furniture (created in-house), decor items, specialty paint, wall coverings and an array of unique home decor products. In addition, Mill Pond will also host weekly workshops in our old dining room space, that has been converted into a beautiful river-side studio for you to learn different techniques and create your own unique items in. In time, Mill Pond will also offer design consultation services for your home.

We realize that not all previous Barrhead customers will be a customer of Mill Pond, but we would encourage you to stop by once we reopen to see the new business and help spread the word about Mill Pond to others with an interest and passion in home decor.

This social page will wind down as the new business opens, BUT - We would love to have you follow us on the new Mill Pond Home Decor social media pages:

Thank you for all your support in the past, and we hope to see you again soon!

It is with great emotions that we announce the last day of operations for The Barrhead will be Saturday Oct 1, 2022

Just over a year ago we purchased this property for its uniqueness and beauty, and began to make it into a home for our family. We fell in love with Grey County and Markdale and wanted to put down new roots here. With an existing business running as The Barrhead Pub & Grill we decided to try and maintain the familiarity of that business even though our experience were as entrepreneurs not restaurateurs. Much has changed over the past year and the combination of outside influences, and our own personal goals and passions has led to this decision. That said, with all the work we’ve put into the business over the past year and the many friends we’ve made in that time, we have learned so much, met so many people in this fabulous community and thank each of you for your support.

There are also a couple of dates in September we will be closed due to staff shortages, these dates are, Saturday Sept 17 and Sunday Sept 25. Otherwise we will continue to run the regular schedule of Thursday 4-8pm, Friday – Sunday 12pm-8pm until the final date of Oct 1, 2022 at 8pm.

To our staff who supported us, thank you. You have become dear friends along the way. To the community and regulars who came and shared stories and enjoyed the Barrhead with us, thank you. It’s meeting all of you and becoming a part of your community that’s made us smile inside knowing we made the right move to bring our family to this area…and alsp made this decision to close very difficult.

We want you all to know, our dreams & goals for this beautiful place still remain true. We will continue to improve the property and make it more into our home over time, we will also work on opening a new business here as well that will be more aligned with our passion, vision and family life. We are proud to be part of Grey Highlands and the Markdale community.

We understand that there may be some people who will not be happy with our decision. We know that there are limited options for dining in the area. Please keep in mind, this area is growing and with it, so will the businesses and number of options for its residents. We encourage you to continue to support the local businesses to serve this community as we now know firsthand how hard they work and how passionate they are in serving you and enriching this community.

We are happy to answer any questions you may have about our decision to close, our plans for the future, or anything else you may wish. We hope you can support our decision despite any disappointment. Our social channels will remain open (until we convert them over for the new business) and you are welcome to reach out to us directly at [email protected].

Thank you and take care,
Jenn & Chris
