The Barn - Huntingdonshire

It's incredible to think about what you might have missed right on your doorstep. The building is charming, the staff are just the right amount of friendly, the food is outstanding, and the prices are very reasonable. It's one of those places that leaves you saying, "That was really nice, we have to come back." There's no better review than that.

Went to The Barn on Sat 2nd April with a friend, shared the camembert for starters then I had the 8oz rump, I'm every chefs nightmare as I like my steak very well done but I have to say, it was cooked perfectly. Cooked all the way through but still lovely and tender. Very impressed. The staff were very nice and friendly, a credit to the restaurant x

We were looking forward to a good night out and were advised to book because the restaurant was very busy and they had two large parties to cater for. The restaurant wasnt busy and there were no large tables laid up but we did book early. Food wasnt great! Such long wait to be asked about dessert that we didnt bother. Got up paid and left and no one asked why we had left most of the meals and if all was ok. It clearly wasnt. There was the added niggle of the flies which we appreciate was not the restaurant's fault. Such a shame. We so wanted the night out to go well.

Having come to a very busy restaurant on a Saturday, I understood there could be some time to wait when it came to service, this did not stop the manager nor the waitress staff, we were still served excellently and with superb manners and cheeriness despite the stresses of a busy restaurant. The only thing that let our evening down was not the restaurant, food, staff or service it was other customers. A customer in particular spoke with such a disgusting manner to the manager and waitress, making sure everyone else in the restaurant could hear her irrelevant voice and complaints. The girls had done nothing wrong. The woman threatened along with her husband that they would be putting a bad review on Trip Advisor, as I can see this hasn’t happened yet and still maybe just a threat to scare the staff even more than she had been treating them. Before it does though I wanted to express that The Barn, and not it’s staff were at fault. It was the woman who clearly thought she was better than anyone else in that restaurant and should be served both her starter and main course within a tight time limit despite the business of the establishment. Keep up your amazing service food and business and please do not let people like last night ruin the reputation you have as a business! I will be back again and again. Thank you for a lovely evening. And to the lady, maybe if you think you deserve quicker service than the Queen you should keep your miserable opinionated vile attitude at home where no one is your victim.

Disappointed beef wasn’t good left most of it as couldn’t even cut it,told waitress who told chef and then heard him laugh about it. Not impressed.
