Had lunch here before the Queens Cup polo. Lovely place, spacious and open. We sat outside and had our champagne and wine. The lamb was brilliant in every way, so was the salmon and all the sides. The cheesecake and sticky toffee pudding were also delish - balanced betwen bitter and sweet. The only drawback of this place was the service, which felt a bit intrusive and tried too hard to upsell. I counted no less than six times to the us for refills, reorder and checkbacks. A bit too much when you want to have a catchup and have a conversation. Smart service can read the table. The amateurish waiters couldnt, despite their smart looking suits. It was also awkward when one of our guests just wanted to order ala carte, and the waitress seems to be insistent for her to have the set three course menu and didnt know whether she can only have two. Felt like managament has an agenda to squeeze guests to spend. I was tempted to forgo the undeserved l, discretionary service charge. Other than this let down by the front, The Barn is a lovely venue for a spot of weekend lunch.
