The Long Barn
Seventeenth century oak, a floor that takes a band, and doors that open onto the orchard.
140 seated
200 standing
The oldest thing we own and the reason people come. Seventeenth century oak, a stone floor that has taken a band every Saturday for eleven years, and six doors down one side that open onto the orchard.
It seats a hundred and forty on our own tables without moving a wall. Above that you are into a second room, and we will tell you so rather than sell you the number.
A barn, a walled garden and an orchard, an hour north of anywhere. We publish every date we have left and what each one costs.
