Groobarbs Field Kitchen in Cheshire East

Wonderful fresh food. Great atmosphere to be able to talk and relax. Staff very helpful with dietary needs. Looking forward to returning.

The staff were all super lovely and welcoming, the setting is beautiful, it was so delightful watching the sunset over the kitchen garden and seeing the swallow diving in and out of the hedgerows as we eat. Getting to wander around the kitchen garden while we waited for our first course was so peaceful and interesting. The food was, as always, delicious, fresh and so innovative as well as being plentiful. The atmosphere was upbeat but relaxed and we had a thoroughly fabulous time. We will definitely be going back and I have a renewed enthusiasm for my Groobarbs veg box.

This was our first visit to Groobarbs Field Kitchen, but it certainly will not be the last! We were looking for something a little more unusual and we found it! It was a great experience. The food was superb and the ambience wonderful. The live music from Alex was a real bonus and helped make a really memorable evening. It was one of those rare warm, sunny evenings, so opening the big doors and connecting with the surrounding fields full of flowers and produce was extra special. Thank you!

Visited for Sunday lunch and the food was very good. The location is beautiful and staff were very attentive. Everything tasted very fresh and it was obvious it was a well oiled machine. For us the one thing we struggled with was the shared table space. We were in the middle of a long table (seats 12 people) in the centre of the dining room. It was incredibly noisy and we could barely have a conversation across the table, the very loud person next to us talked constantly over everyone else for the entire meal which became painful and there was no escape. Space was also very limited and we felt a little trapped. Despite the food being great and the place being beautiful we didn’t feel relaxed at all and couldn’t wait to leave due to the volume of noise which is a shame.

We had a lovely evening, the barn is looking over some nice vegetable gardens, the waiter was very pleasant and looked well after us. The food was incredible, it was quite a different experience altogether. They have a little gem there.

A lovely evening. An exquisite field to fork experience. Food was amazing. Venue was gorgeous. A stroll around the garden was a lovely end to the meal - you can see where the fresh produce was harvested!

This was our first time at Groobarbs and we loved it. Beautiful venue, delicious food that looked and tasted so fresh and interesting. As a veggie it was a real treat to be so well catered for! The staff were helpful and friendly and we have been telling everyone since that they should visit. Thank you for a lovely and unique evening.

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Would highly recommend. It is a 5 taster course menu, mainly vegetarian based with one meat dish (or veggie option).

This is about the 4th or 5th time I have eaten here. I know the drill. Shared tables with other diners, quite buzzy and relaxed. Set menu. I was quite disappointed. The menu looked pretty interesting but the execution was more miss than hit. Presentation wise, it looked lovely and our server was very friendly and efficient. However, the plates of hot, warm, lukewarm and cold left me a little confused as to... should it be hot? should it be cold? why is only half of the meat hot and the other half cold? Why is the dressing on the very cold lettuce warm and why is it sat on a sea of gravy with tough as boots beef? The cauliflower was very tasty though. Other observations are that coriander micro herbs are not a taste for everyone and these were in the accompanying vegetables. Also, if feta is on the menu, it needs to be the dish. I'm also not a dessert eater and never eat one. It would be good not to have to pay for it? I really don't think it is a place for couples, more for groups, unless they stick all of the couples together? I also felt very sorry for the acoustic act. The venue is too noisy to appreciate it.

What a wonderful place, so wholesome and organic in every way! The staff were wonderful, food was delicious and the singer & atmosphere were perfect. We were overwhelmed by the food - wow! Couldn’t recommend it more - What a wonderful find and excellent concept!
