The Barn at Moor Hall

Disappointing,alas

Staff were friendly and helpful but food was,well, disappointing. Three of our party of four ordered the scallops and,because we have smallish appetites, asked if they could be slightly generous potions,so that we could move straight on to the tempting desserts, particularly the treacle tart...When the scallops arrived,they appeared to be of what we would regard as first course size,and we simply thought " Oh well, we're not wanting to eat too much tonight" and said nothing about size but did comment among ourselves about the scallops themselves being sliced small rather than left whole ("makes them go further") and that there wasn't much taste,or sign of cod,in the brandade.

The desserts were appreciated - although our treacle tart lover here also felt not really of Michelin star quality ( had a much better one at home a few days later) - and then the bill came with a charge of £72 for scallops.We queried this,and were given explanation that we had had them as a main course; that the cost as a starter was £12 (see menu : correct) and that the main course cost was therefore 2 X 12,
ie £24 each, = £72 for three people. We suggested politely that no way could this be correct - and the bill was politely reduced, by £6 , ie 1/2 of the extra £12, per head - which softened the blow (somewhat) but did not leave us with the feeling that we'd had a happy evening and would want to
come again.

Portion sizes quite small.
Charge for water on table not good.

Excellent food and service. Great value

Brilliant service by Phil and his team. Nothing was too much trouble. Absolutely delicious food. The best roast chicken I've ever had. The choice bun with rhubarb with blood orange sorbet was delightful.
The Barn has a lovely atmosphere. Overall outstanding.

We had Sunday lunch in The Barn . Attention to detail second to none , good menu . We enjoyed the hake dish and left room for treacle tart and stout ice cream . Delightful place .

Soothing piano music, excellent food and service, and helpful staff

Sunday lunch was great. The choices for starters mains and sweet catered for most people.

Pleasant surroundings, good food, well served, good value for money.

Cant fault it. Good value lunch. Excellent service. Lovely ambiance.

A long way travel for lunch but well worth the effort. A most enjoyable meal which met all my expectations. All the staff went the extra mile to make the visit a most pleasant experience.
