We love coming to this little gem of a place. Food is always outstanding and now the service is too.

A very pleasant visit. The service was polite and prompt. The food was delicious, hot and well presented. The surroundings were charming and clean. Well worth a revisit before long.

Great place

Excellent first time here, will definitely go back again. Such a friendly atmosphere and amazing food. Would highly recommend

One of our regular local venues for food. Great food - generous portions and good quality. Staff are really friendly and helpful and clearly enjoy their jobs.

As usual a first class dining experience from the moment of arrival. Quality and preparation of food second to none, service top-notch, restaurant an absolute gem and looking forward to the next visit. Very highly recommended. Thanks again for looking after us.

Lovely afternoon spent at the Barn Chestfield, staff superb thank you

The food and service was spot on! I love my Italian food and the food Vesuvius provided was mouth watering! I really couldn't fault it at all! It was all fresh which you could tell straight away and will definitely be coming back!

Vesuvius is lovely, friendly family run restaurant. It has a varied menu, interesting specials and a great wine list.

We haven’t been there before but it didn’t disappoint. We enjoyed our meal very much. The service was impeccable, despite being extremely busy. If anything, we may have been quicker than we expected.

Food & service excellent as always

Absolutely beautiful food and great service. Never disappointed with the Bangkok Pavillion!

Fabulous food and very pleasant staff and surroundings

Really enjoyable evening

Food great.service attentive but not intrusive. Try the vegan chocco tart is was amazing Already booked another table for next week

As also the food was lovely, with the exception of overdone yorkshire puddings and stuffing missing from roast turkey. However the service left was extremely lacking. Left waiting at the door, then despite having a booking had to wait for tables to be pushed together. Mains arrived and we were still waiting for our drinks. Did complain about the yorkshire however the replacement bought out was just the same! Waitress cleared 1/2 the plates and said she would return for the rest and bring the dessert menu. Needless to say she didn't return! After a while called over another waitress for the menu. Then waited and waited for her to return! called another waitress over, she took the orders. The waited and waited and had to ask where our desserts were! I have never been so disappointed and I had taken my elderly parents who were visiting there for lunch. It may be a while before I return!

Visited on a Sunday. First impressions of the outside space and pond really nice. Walking into the Barn looked a little dated but OK. Service was good throughout the time we were there. I felt that the food let this place down. The deconstructed prawn cocktail was flavourless and lots of cayenne pepper or similar sprinkled over it to make it look cheffy, but it didn't work. The roast beef was REALLY overcooked. An abundance of vegetables disproportionate to the meat and potatoes. Maybe they were low on meat so were trying to make up for it! Scampi and chips both from a frozen bag so impossible to spoil . I feel this Barn could be amazing if they upped their game and did better food. I'd happily have paid another £10-15 pp for better food and sadly I won't be returning. Maybe the owners should try some other pubs to try their food and see where they can improve. The Red Lion at Hernhill would be a very good in comparison.
