Had a nights stay at the Barrel. What a location ! Got a room. 1st thought, they've put us in the Broom cupboard ! We had a view of all wall which was 2 feet away ! But the food was good.So go for a meal but don't stay. Stop at the B&b next door.

Had lunch at The Barrel Inn to celebrate my birthday. The staff are very friendly and there was a lovely welcoming fire as we walked in. The carrot and coriander soup we had as the starter was delicious. Two of our party had the steak pie, one had an omelette and I had the sirloin steak. The food is basic... More

We recently had three evening meals at this pub during the April gales! The pub was very welcoming and the landlady especially attentive and friendly. We were staying next door at an excellent B&B so it was great to just walk across the lane and into the warm cosy pub. The menu was mixed and would suit all tastes. The... More

The Barrell makes a big thing about the views across 5 counties and these didn't disappoint last week when we visited for an early evening meal. Good quality although not particularly imaginative pub grub. Great service and lovely atmosphere with a roaring fire. Would recommend booking whenever you are planning to go as it was full by 6.30

We didn't eat there but the menu was expensive and what came out of the kitchen looked no better than average. Beer was very expensive at £3.50 a pint and some of the staff were unfriendly. You will find much better places without travelling too far.

I have visited this place for so many years its embarrassing. On this occasion we dropped in after a local walk. As always the fire was burning brightly, There were tables full of people contentedly enjoying good food and ale. We were late, well after the 2PM time for ordering food. The welcome was genuine and the landlady made it... More

We organised a Saturday night out with three friends and decided on The Barrel at Bretton. We have been going to this place for years, but not recently. It's a lovely old pub and always has a fantastic log fire and, luckily on this particularly cold, wet night, we were given a table by the fire. The starters were very... More

A wonderful spot which took some finding even with Satnav. 16th century pub serving great food in a stunning location. Real fires and a lovely ambiance. The service was swift and friendly and the food a delight to look at and a treat to eat.
