"Really really poor. The venue is lovely, but the restaurant would put me off ever using this place for a wedding. Service initially was fine, then 3 drunk ladies sat next to us which I wasn’t bothered about, it’s Xmas after all however they were asked numerous times if they wanted more drinks and if everything was okay, whereas my partner and I were not asked once for any more drinks etc seemed like they knew they’d make their money on 3 girls on the lash so didn’t bother with us. The starters were nice, the halloumi bruschetta was yummy but the Thai cake was literally one which was such poor value for money. Anyway, it came to the roasts I’m pretty sure I’d have eaten better at Toby carvery, st least the yorkshires would have been fresh. The roasts were awful, the but roast I had was not nice at all and looked like dog sick. It came in a soggy giant Yorkshire which looked like a frozen aunt Bessie’s, in fact it all looked like it had either been frozen or come in a bag, nothing fresh at all. And my partner had the pork, which is advertised with CRACKLING, but to call it that is actually laughable, when they actually bring you pulled pork and then a side of pork scratchings and say they’re crackling. I even asked the waitress about the crackling and she pointed to 5 pieces of pork scratchings on my partners plate and said that was is, I said to her they were pork scratchings but she didn’t understand. This was definitely a way to tell it wasn’t fresh as freshly cooked pork would have come with actual crackling on it. Honestly the whole thing was just awful, and to pay £15 for a roast that tastes like a microwave meal is ridiculous. We just wanted to leave, but again due to the service this took having to ask twice to be able to actually pay and leave. Such a shame as the barn/restaurant looks absolutely lovely, but I would absolutely never ever come back"

"dreadful, very horny waitress. eat more pretentious, over price, tasted ‘ok’, but really nothing special. my chicken capital did not come with veg or kartoffel, so they have to buy the separately at £4, which if they arrive are enough for 2 people. a real waste of food and so stupid, not included with the main dish. no great place if they want a romantic or quiet table for 2. very loud. the bad layout and no idea of sitting things, meant that we stuck between 2 big groups of people, a side with a woman who swarms all the time. not funny. probably okay if they're on work night or a big birthday party. but it felt very hastened and they did not have a front side of the house to check everything is ok, or if they needed something. our waitress has done her best, but it took ages to get the bill as we could not signal anyone, and forget to need something or more drinks. we were handed over a menu when we set ourselves, but had to wait 10 minutes to ask for a wine menu. everything in all it felt like a transport belt system, nothing friendly or personal, very hurried, loud and badly managed. we are happy to get out of there and drink a drink somewhere else. they also have to sit in their moms, as nowhere to hang them and the toilets are not signed, so had to guess and ask for directions in the main hotel next door. the lighting and decorations were beautiful, but this is about the best I can say about it. will not come back soon."
