Great atmosphere. Great service. Great food. Excellent value

Lovely restuarant, attentive staff. Food & drink excellent and competitively priced. Indoor & outdoor seating.

I had lunch with my friend in Chestfield Barn last week. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful (both inside and outside). Food was delicious, portion is very generous, the people working there are very friendly and helpful. Our club has decided to book Christmas lunch there this year.

First time being at the Chestfield Barn was amazing the atmosphere was so cozy and warm. The waitresses were so friendly and helpful, food was definitely best we've ever had hats off to the chef. We will defiantly return again 5 stars!

Had veggie linguine was bland and wasn’t hot and pasta was overcooked,my other half had steak pie and was happy with it,son had steak and asked for it rare and was medium rare.

Dine at the Chestfield Barn for a relaxing ambience, in pretty surroundings, with nicely presented well cooked food and pleasant staff. The sizzling salmon was delicious, accompanied by plenty of new potatoes and vegetables. Sadly as a result, there was no room for a dessert!

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

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.

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

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.

Fabulous food and very pleasant staff and surroundings

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.

We had a lovely meal on Friday 19th August, steak & ale pie was absolutely delicious, the staff were very friendly and helpful, busy but all very organised and music to top off the evening. Well Chestfield Barn we will certainly return.

Our recent experience office I g at the Chestfield Barn was exquisite. Delicious food, delightful music and friendly staff. We had an absolute divine evening. We will be returning g.
