At The BarnYard we offer formal private dining where you and your guests can have exclusive use of any of our areas with chefs to prepare a sumptuous menu and waitresses on hand to serve you. We offer a private dining menu which we change regularly however if you are looking for something bespoke or have your own ideas please do not hesitate to discuss this with us, we will always endeavour to accommodate your requirements wherever possible. Prices start from £44.95 per head.
Why not consider adding pre-purchased waitress served reception drinks (Champagne, Prosecco, Bucks Fizz, Pimms, Cocktails etc) to be served immediately after your wedding ceremony.
Please ask for further details.
Why not add a luxury cheeseboard or cheese ‘tower’ to any of the above menu options. Ask a member of staff for more details.
All prices quoted are per head & include VAT at the prevailing rate, waitressing staff, white napkins, crockery & cutlery. Tablecloths charged extra (apart from private dining where all tables will be covered by tablecloths if required).
Please ask for details of our menus/costings for wakes, christenings and smaller celebrations.
The above menu option prices are for functions in 2021. For bookings made for future years this price will be subject to inflationary price increase and will be available in the January of the year in which you are having your function. Please ask for further details.
