About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Romantic
  • Good for groups
Our stunning oak framed restaurant, The Barn, opened in 2015 and is the reigning WBBA Restaurant & Bar of the Year. In addition we have our Pantry and Library for less formal dining.
Our Head Chef and his team create many great dishes. With the arrival of our charcoal oven"Bertha" we serve some of the best tasting grilled food for many a mile! In addition we have bar classics and much more. Why not try our prime cut steaks, meat & fish specials, choice of burgers, made to our secret recipe, our famous Fish Pie, or a selection of lighter bites and bar snacks, you really will be spoilt for choice.
We are proud to use local suppliers and all our food is freshly cooked and our meat is British provenance sourced.
Why not treat yourselves to Friday Steak & Grill Night, Traditional Roast Sunday Lunch and regular promotions throughout the year.
We look forward to welcoming you to our historic Inn

    Service and food very good . I was asked when booking if it was a special occasion, which it was ie. my birthday. But I wondered why as there was no mention of it on the day ?

    We've driven past theirs Inn many times ... so glad we booked a dinner here eventually. It looked cosy from outside and didn't disappoint. Attentive staff and tasty food.... well done.

    Great place and great food.Booked online by clicking the button saying ''save 10% by booking direct''.In fact it ony applies if you stay there .A bit disingenuos in my view. Will maybe go back but don't like tricks or bad marketing.
