The barn at moor hall

Moor Hall is a gentry house of mid-sixteenth century origin, and one of the most important listed buildings in the UK.

In 2015, the site was acquired by Andy & Tracey Bell and has since undergone a multi-million pound renovation.

The Barn features rustic brickwork and a characterful setting with an open kitchen, offering views of Moor Hall and the Lake.

In 2017, chef patron at two Michelin-starred Moor Hall Restaurant with Rooms Mark Birchall converted the adjacent building as a contemporary casual dining experience called The Barn on the same grounds as the flagship restaurant.

In February 2022, The Barn at Moor Hall was awarded a coveted star in the Michelin Guide for Great Britain and Ireland 2022 and retained it's star in the 2023 and 2024 guides.

Food

The menu at The Barn showcases the best of seasonal produce alongside a wide range of wines and beverages.

Most of the produce used across both of the restaurants at Moor Hall is grown within the property's five-acre grounds. Mostly everything else is sourced from local British suppliers.

Customers have called the restaurant and the food 'superb from beginning to end', 'outstanding', 'exceptional', 'fabulous', 'excellent' and 'superior', while The Michelin Guide has described the cooking as 'modern and imaginative' with an 'appealing à la carte menu that offers dishes which are British at heart, with understated elegance and well-judged combinations of delicious flavours.'
