The Barn at Coworth

A rustically styled barn conversion, with stone floors, a fireplace and wooden tables and bench seating, is one of the informal dining venues at Coworth Park (see separate entry for the fine-dining option). A wall of windows looks over a terrace, used for outdoor eating in summer, and upstairs is a bar with country views. 'Comfort food' is The Barn's own description of its style, although the cooking displays more ambition than that would suggest. Potted trout with horseradish and watercress, and roast beetroot with goats' cheese and caramelised onions are typical starters, with main courses like shepherd's pie of lamb shoulder with confit root vegetables, and Cornish seafood casserole with parsley sauce.
