Gather Around the Table

At The Barn, dining is about connection. Share generous food, good conversation and genuine laughter in a rustic space that feels welcoming and unhurried.

Whether it’s a long lunch with family, a special celebration or a casual get-together, The Barn brings people together in the best possible way — around the table.

Your booking gives you exclusive use of The Barn, with the freedom to create an event that feels completely your own. You’re welcome to arrange your preferred catering, furniture, tableware, decorations, entertainment, equipment and event staff. The Barn is a BYO venue, so guests may bring their own alcohol. Please note that The Barn is not a licensed venue; therefore, alcohol cannot be sold at the venue under any circumstances.

Made for Easy Entertaining

The open plan of The Barn lends itself to a variety of dining possibilities – from finger food, to buffet, to formal.

A practical Servery space with power and water is available for your catering team to set up and serve with ease, keeping everything flowing so you can focus on your guests.

Alternatively, there are 15 and 10amp outlets outside alongside The Barn for a catering truck to create wonders and then serve inside, leaving you to use the Servery as a bar.

It’s your day, your way – and we’re here to support it.

We provide the venue, but catering and service are not included.

Staying in control of costs, you will choose and engage your preferred caterers, beverages, decorations, and staff for your celebration.

Chairs, 1.8m tables and table covers can be quoted, if needed, or you can hire these elsewhere as well.

The Barn is not a licenced venue, and so alcohol may be served, but not sold on the premises.

So Many Options – All With Country Character

Conveniently located alongside The Shack, and directly opposite the historic Settlers Arms Inn, Venue hire packages are available for any combination of The Barn, The Shack, and/or the large grassy forecourt.
