The Barge - Reservar uma mesa

I regret that I have to significantly downgrade my previously glowing review. Very disappointing Sunday lunch experience at the Barge in Woolstone today. Dirty foggy glasses covered with specks of limescale and stubborn lipsticks stains, a House Pinot Grigiot that tasted like a cocktail of citric acid mixed with anti-freeze which made my taste buds shrivel, soggy roast potatoes, vegetables that tasted of water... But the drop too much was what was served to three of us as a Slow cooked half-chicken : little more than a rather dry and tasteless leg with a bit of breast attached! The Manager explained that this was the new spec of their supplier !! So be warned everybody, it sounds like a larg...

What a lovely restaurant! It was very quiet but it was Tuesday (29th December) and I like quiet anyway. This was my first time here and I found it to be very clean, it was decorated beautifully, very pretty and sparkly! It had a lovely calm, cozy atmosphere. The girls serving were absolutely brilliant, very friendly, nothing was too much trouble and they were very polite and respectful. The manager should be very proud of them. The food was delicious, a little pricier than where I would usually go but you pay for what you get and it was worth every penny. It's worth mentioning they are also dog friendly, we didn't have to eat in the bar, the top area is fine for dogs making it a great place...

Was very disappointed as this place looked delightful online. The starter was absolutely beautiful- however the Sunday roast was disappointing at best. Sad soggy boiled potatoes, barely even enough roast for a small child. Furthermore, the vegetables were forgotten about which there was no apology when they finally brought them. One waitress was working really hard and seemed nice and polite however the other was unhelpful. Generally was disappointed by the staff and the atmosphere here. Oh and to rub salt into the wound the price was ridiculously extortionate. Wouldn't recommend to a friend!

I've been going here on and off since 1986 as it used to be my local. The Thai chicken skewers were a nice idea, but lacked flavour. The waitress who served us was nice and friendly, but could benefit from some more training/experience. Overall, it was a nice place for a meal, but I have had better experiences there. In the past I would have given it a firm 4 star rating. Plenty of car parking.

Our host Allison was down to earth, made us feel at home and the service as well the food was excellent. The Barge was warm and inviting. I was amazed at how clean, tidy and hygienic the toilets were, I did mention this to our waitress. All pubs and restaurants should follow your lead! Overall a great dining experience. Thank you
