There were 6 of us and we went on a Thursday so qualified for a 3 course meal at only £20 each. Excellent value for money and attentive, friendly waitresses. I even asked for hand cut chips and because they weren't too busy the chef was able to do this (I just don't like frozen chips). Incidentally for this mid-week... More

Booked following very high rating in trip advisor and good report from B&B owner. We were expecting it to be something a little special especially as I was celebrating my birthday. It may be us but our view was it was "nice". There was nothing bad about it, so I do not wish to do it a disservice, but it... More

My wife and I had dinner here on Saturday. After looking for somewhere a little different that we hadn't tried before we settled on Barnabys as its simple menu and great reviews for service won us over. The food was very good and the service was just what I look for in a restaurant, attentive without being in your face... More

My husband and I often eat at Barnabys, during the week they have the early bird special, so it is often a godsend after a busy day at work, we've never booked, just arrive on the off chance. They offer a good traditional menu selection and reasonably priced wines. We called in last weekend, again on the off chance and... More

As a family we have a lot to celebrate lately including my son's birthday and we did this in fine style last night, The food was excellent and I can honestly say that nobody had any complaints, the staff were friendly and did not rush us for our decisions on what to eat, they are a credit to the establishment....

The quality of the food was superb. The service was excellent. The atmosphere was good. Went here on a Saturday night with my family to celebrate a birthday. I couldn't think of a nicer way to spend the evening. One slight downer, only bottled beer but never spoilt the evening. Would thoroughly recommend this restaurant. More
