Always a lovely joyful visit to the barn after the walk along the lake thru the woods down to the castle ruins I know it's fake but the grandkids don't and that makes it special.

Came in here for a quick bite after walking the rivington pike winter hill loop. I had a ham and cheese toastie and a cup of tea which came to £12.30. The food was nice and went down well after a long hike

Visited yesterday on first sunny day in ages. After long, long walk up and around the Pike we were very ready for what the cafe had to offer. Despite being really busy, staff were lovely and polite, service was surprisingly quick and efficient. As for the food - delicious!! Excellent value for money as well as being top quality. Thank you for a lovely experience to finish off a lovely walk 😊

Lovely food, great service too. The menu is a little on the pricey side, but the food is all fresh and delicious so a nice treat after a long hike around Rivington Pike

The barn has been extended significantly outside with weather canopies to keep the rain off. Lovely food, lovely atmosphere and decent parking although it does get VERY busy at weekends and holidays.

This is a friendly place. I've been visiting here for over 20 years.
If you love walking, then this is the place for you. Once you've built up an appetite, you can enjoy a good tuck in at the Barn for a fair price, but you'll need to order hot food before 3 pm during the Autumn and Winter month. After 3 pm, only cakes and cold foods are available because the barn closes by 4 pm.
time, I seem to remember it's 5pm closing time. There's a good amount of free parking ,but it can get really busy during the summer months and school holidays. keep in mind that the outdoor toilet facilities are not great, and if you are bad on your feet like my mother who has to use a walking aid, you might struggle! The walkway to the toilets are made up of cobbles and are very uneven.
You can bring your dog along inside the Barn; dog walkers are made very welcome. Despite the toilet facilities I do still recommend a visit to this very friendly place.

We visited today as a family of 8 for lunch and drinks. I had the steak baguette with egg, which I can only describe as very overpriced and disappointing. The sandwich was around £15 and the size of a half sub. I was expecting steak for £15 but to my disappointment, it was little thin strips of tasteless meat. No chips or side salad just a few crisps. It was also barley warm and came out of the kitchen within 2 minutes of the order being placed. I wasn’t asked by a member of staff, if the food was okay, at any point. We visit here often, mainly for a hot drink after a chilly walk but I’ll be avoiding the food in future!

I'm happy to say that the very condensed menu has improved to a much better offering.
We drop our visits due to the menu, we can resume our regular frequency, coinciding with our walks through forest and beside the lake.

Excellent service from excellent staff, probably the fastest and most efficient I have experienced. Would highly recommend.

Visited the lower barn today. Staff are lovely. Dogs whimpering and barking. Shame could be a pleasant atmosphere. Wont be back even though I live locally. Far to much emphasis on dogs.

Great place...just a pity about the state of the road....a couple of bags of gravel wouldn't go amiss...?
