  • "The food is delicious."
  • "The food was really good and much fancier than what I was expecting."

Cons:

  • "The trio of meats that I ordered only came with the chicken, some time later the beef and the pork arrived without the crackling, the pork had a lot of fat on it and the beef was so tough I could not eat it."
  • "Going to the RB before lockdown was a pathetic day out with poor quality food and disinterested waiters."
  • "Probably 70% ish of my burger was raw, that wasn't my problem! Mistakes happen. The real problem was how the management dealt with it."
  • "The roast potatoes tasted like they had been over heated."
  • "The food served has been a real let-down and not up to scratch with the prices charged."
  • "We ordered an assortment of dishes and all were very poor quality."
  • "The cauliflower cheese was disgusting; there were two pieces of cauliflower swimming in an insipid clear juice which we believe to the the 'cheese' sauce."

Service

Cons:

  • "The host was very sad looking and very unwelcoming."
  • "The service isn't great."
  • "After placing our food order 30 minutes later the waitress appeared telling us that one of the items we ordered had run out."
  • "Staff seemed a bit thin on the ground when we first arrived and after mains plates had been cleared."
  • "Service was poor, left waiting at arrival then 15 minutes at table and had to go find waitress."
  • "Whilst the staff were really friendly we did find ourselves having to chase a bit."

Ambience & Location

Pros:

  • "Lovely spacious feel in the barn with plenty of space round the tables."
  • "The Red Barn is in a lovely location and the inside and outside dining areas are superb."
  • "Lovely big sprawling country pub. Atmospheric pockets and largest areas inside and out."
  • "The building, the decor, the ambience is ever so beautiful."
  • "Nice atmosphere though, although cold in the back with no fire going!"
  • "The setting is absolutely beautiful, warm fires burning."
  • "Very large venue with good indoor and outdoor seating."

Cons:

  • "£36 for a steak in a pub (albeit a very nice pub) is a tad sporty."
  • "I think the worst thing was the price however. £40 for a main, a side, 2 glasses of wine and one coffee!"
  • "£25 for a roast that was cold and small is poor."
  • "Tiny portions for very high prices."
  • "Not cheap but we did have a few bottles of wine with the meal and that always bumps the cost up."
  • "Nearly £50/person is a bit much for starter, roast, pub, soft drinks."
  • "Pricey over rated. Will not be returning."
