Over the 23 years that the present owners have operated The Barn the menu has evolved, and although it is still very much based on steaks and you will find an attractive selection of both traditional plates with some contemporary dishes for you to enjoy. Using only prime 28 day British matured beef they can ensure that steaks are of a high standard.
The food is complemented with a superb wine list giving a choice of 10 house wines, available by the bottle or the glass and a further selection of wines from Europe and New World countries. The team genuinely believe that their wine list is the best value quality wine list in the area.
If you prefer something quicker or more informal, have lunch or an evening meal in the lovely bar or in the garden - choose individual dishes from the same menu served in the restaurant or a snack from the bar menu.

Ollie: " Nice, friendly atmosphere! Very reasonable for a fillet steak when using the tastecard and the steak was one of the best I’ve ever had! The sticky toffee pudding was average but I really didn’t need it after the size of the main course! Helpful staff."

dominic:"Not what I expected After reading reviews on Trip Advisor I was really looking forward to celebrating my birthday here yesterday 28th March however despite the rave reviews I felt the restaurant was a big let down. My starter was described as "Mushrooms cooked in a Stilton Sauce served over a crouton" the really was a tablespoon of mushrooms served on two pieces of french bread toasted and then drowning in a watering cheese gravy. On the menu they rave about their aged beef so I thought I would try their Sirloin. It arrived undercooked with large trim of fat and a sauce that tasted as if it was out of a packet. My girlfriends Moules were the blandest I have ever tasted the sauce was simply milk no white wine or shallots. There were a lots of mussels but what is the use of that if they taste of nothing. I felt for the young waiter as he was doing his best and I think he deserves a better place to work but despite the discount it was a very disappointing birthday meal. Wish I had gone elsewhere. I wont be returning. The whole time I was there I had the feeling of being in a Bernie Inn or a bad Harvester."
