  “Absolutely faultless. The restaurant is so clean and well spaced out. You can eat inside or outside, along the canal, and can even purchase duck food. The staff are all very welcoming, friendly and helpful. The food is amazing. We all really enjoyed our meals and thought the prices were very fair too.”

  “We had a fantastic time dining here. The food was absolutely delicious, and the roast dinner, complete with a perfectly golden Yorkshire pudding, was a real treat. Everything was cooked to perfection. It is such a beautiful location right on the water. Watching the sun set over the canal while enjoying a drink was the perfect way to spend the evening. We will definitely be coming back soon.”

  “I’m really unsure on how this has 4.4 stars, I visit a lot around Lymm and this was last minute, but from the moment we walk in and got give paper menus with spelling mistakes on and pointed in direction of our table I had a feeling, waitress was extremely miserable without being rude as were all the staff, ordered drinks and they were just dumped on the table without any interaction at all, then the food came and the roast dinner was fully microwaved, smelt very stale and like it was cooked at 11/12 o clock in the day, the hot honey burger was awful just a stale beef burger with no hot honey what so ever, the side dish of Brie bites were basically just frozen processed bites stuck in an air fryer, so im afraid this place should really not be located in this area of nice restaurants and lovely pubs. I’m really gobsmacked on the rating of this place and in not over exaggerating. Please do yourself a favour and visit somewhere local like little manor, jolly thresher, or pretty much any other pub in Lymm. A very poor experience service and food for us. It’s a shame as the location and premises could be so much more with fresh cooked food and nice polite service.”

  “I am extremely disappointed with my experience at The Barn Owl in Lymm. From the moment we arrived, the waitress who served us was incredibly rude, unwelcoming, and completely unprofessional. Her attitude towards us was shocking. She spoke to us in a foul, dismissive manner that made us feel uncomfortable and completely unwelcome. We were genuinely taken aback by how we were treated, especially as we had simply come to enjoy a meal. Unfortunately, the service was so poor that we made the decision to leave before even ordering. We’ve never felt the need to walk out of a restaurant before, but the way we were spoken to left us with no desire to stay. Customer service is just as important as the food, and on this occasion it was completely unacceptable. I hope management takes this feedback seriously, as no customer should be made to feel the way we did especially with 4 young children with us. Would avoid like the plague”

  “Loved the Barn Owl, had the concessionary lunch ( my very first 😋). Good menu choice at very good prices. The main menu also had a great list to choose from. The premises inside was very full, there was also ample seating to be had outside but it was raining. Sitting on the canal this place is a lovely venue for meeting friends to either eat or have a drink, bet it's lovely on a sunny day. Would definitely recommend and will certainly return.”

  “I've been here before and the food was lovely. Unfortunately this visit some of my party were unhappy with the quality of the food and the portion sizes. When our food arrived no cutlery was given with it we had to ask and when they gave us cutlery we were still short of forks and napkins”

  “It was the venue for the U3A Sunday lunch group with over 20 of us in the conservatory. Beautiful location next to the canal. It was a very successful lunch with good food and friendly helpful staff. Would recommend. 👍”

  “Nice location positioned on the side of the canal. Outside area nice but not very many chairs and tables. That is about 5 pods which are really good. They are private and weatherproof. You can just book these or if they are free you can use. Staff really pleasant friendly and helpful. Food was really good. Especially the 60+ menu which was go to value for money.”

  “Sat in a pod. It was lovely. Enjoyed watching the boats go past. The food was lovely we both had the steak and onion baguette that came with chips and coleslaw. Great value. Waitress was really friendly and had a laugh and joke with us. Shame the boat is parked up there spoiling the view from the majority of the pods. I’ve been a few times for drinks at night the sunsets are lovely. Would recommend to anyone”
