      We had a wonderful experience
      On 18th June we visited The Barn for a family lunch of 17 people and requested a large table at which we could all be seated. Our waitress Koren was excellent. She was attentive, informative and nothing was too much trouble to ask. We had a wonderful experience,a lovely lunch and excellent service. We have no hesitation on recommending you to our friends. Please pass on our thanks and appreciation to Koren.

      Fantastic wedding venue
      We would like to thank everyone at the Barn for our fantastic wedding reception on 9th October. I have been told many times that it was the best wedding anyone has been to, and the best wedding food anyone has ever had, which is solely down to the wonderful staff at the Barn. Chris was fantastic and so helpful from our first meeting and nothing was ever a problem. The barn looked amazing on the day and we are so pleased we found this place for our wedding.

      Everything ran so smoothly
      Everybody loved the venue and have said that the food was outstanding which it was. (especially the roast potatoes). The staff were brilliant and only too happy to help. We loved every part of our day and so pleased we were able to find The Barn to be part of it. We definitely would not change a thing. We would also like to thank everyone else at The Barn who helped out on the day to make sure that it ran smoothly. i.e (Jane and Corin (sorry if i have spelt her name wrong) who made sure everything was ok, did a fantastic job and also Emily (one of the waitresses who was so lovely and made sure I got some of canapes when we arrived, Especially the chocolate strawberries which were gorgeous.) We don't feel that it would have been the same if we had our reception at any other place. Thanks again Chris for everything and hopefully we will pay The Barn a visit in the not to distant future.

      The food was superb
      I sense that the dust has more or less settled on last weekend’s wedding and I wanted just to express my thanks to Chris and his colleagues. Every aspect of the day was absolutely splendid. The staff were all so pleasant and efficient; the food was superb - our compliments to the chef. Very many of the guests said how wonderful the reception was. We all have many happy memories.

      Everything was handled very professionally and exp
      Amy & I had a terrific time on our Wedding day and really it was very largely down to The Barn and staff at The Barn. From the planning stages months ago to the day itself everything was handled very professionally and expertly. I can honestly say it has been a pleasure dealing with you and your staff. So many of our friends commented on the day, and since, that the venue was the best that they had been to, the location, Barn itself and staff were a fantastic hit. Amy & I know that really all this is down to you and so again on behalf of us thank you.
