Customer Review Summary
The Secret Garden function room at the Red Barn is what most reviewers return to, with a wedding party, a wedding reception and an 80th birthday all described as running to schedule. Reviewers praise the event organiser's communication and a team that catered for coeliac and nut allergies. Food at those events draws praise, especially stuffed Yorkshire puddings, pork belly and sausage rolls. In the pub itself, diners single out fish and chips with crispy batter, baked Camembert, pork chop, cod loin and sticky toffee pudding, along with a good hand pulled pint. Complaints are fewer but specific. One reviewer received a bare burger that looked nothing like its menu description, then waited a long time for a tiny side salad. Another found the service incredibly slow, and one thought the fish slightly overcooked in a salty sauce. One family recalls a waitress who brought extra utensils for a birthday guest with dementia.

“Our waitress Holly, was outstanding. The birthday lady has dementia and Holly provided excellent service. She answered all our questions and supplied us with the extra utensils that were required. The food was great and the family atmosphere was excellent. We all had a wonderful memorable day and thanks to Holly for making it so easy to venture out with our dear birthday girl.”

“What a fantastic lunch…. We spend the day out at Hever castle and we’re absolutely starving after the amount of walking we’ve done… The Red barn definitely came to the rescue!! We had some delicious sandwiches and enjoyed a beautiful glass of wine, Whilst celebrating my husband’s birthday. We enjoyed (and wore) coffee outside in the sunshine watching the world go by… Thank you so much to an amazing team that looked after us and made my husband feel extremely special at his tender old age, food was incredible and so were the team, you should be extremely proud of what you have and what you do so well.”

“I would have given an all round 5 star rating but the service was incredibly slow. Food was on point and ambience great. You should really take a visit if you have not done so already!”

“We hosted my Dad's 80th party at the Red Barn in their secret garden room. Lottie was absolutely fantastic as event organiser, communication was fantastic and she went out of her way to ensure we had everything just so. On the day Lottie and her team were incredibly friendly, helpful and efficient. The whole event ran to schedule and the food was amazing. Everyone who attended the party had a fantastic time and so many of the guests praised the venue and staff. I am sure you'll get more bookings from this that attended. Red Barn has become a family favourite and someone we now often meet for special occasions or catch ups.”
