The Cider Barn

Nice and easy to find as just set back from the main road. Plenty of parking. Friendly staff with a decent enough menu and prices, but it was the bizarre and variable decor and atmosphere that made me want to give this funny little restaurant a five star review. Nowadays, many restaurants, pubs, cafes, bistros etc are going for a sleek, modern, clean look to forfill the customer expected experience but this ‘Cider barn’ has the most grotty, old fashioned, comfortable, grungy atmosphere made up from funky decorations such as tin signs, recycled furniture, funky wallpaper and carpets. It definitely captivates friendly locals and those interested in cars and bikes, but also the younger generation that just fancy an upbeat, cheap place to meet and have good vibes at. The pizzas were delicious and the cider even better. If your looking for something more conservative, sleek and ‘cute’ or ‘romantic’, I wouldnt recommend this, but if your looking for something truly independent and authentic with a home made atmosphere where you feel you can be yourself, come and give them a visit! I believe they do live music events too, so perhaps visit them on one of those dates. Overall, easy to find, good car park, toilets, seating inside and out, pool table, good food and drink and good service. What more can you want?
