Easygoing, spacious, good choices. My pie was tasty and different. The seasonal veges were nutritious but lumpy. Not well displayed. There was a funny moment after we'd finished eating when someone hurried by and lobbed two rolls onto the table without comment. There were 4...More

Had my first visit at The Barker Hotel tonight and it's safe to say I'll be back. There was a large selection of meals to choose from, definitely went above and beyond a normal bar menu. Lovely service, and delicious burgers. Overall a great experience.
