The Barns in South Staffordshire

Ate here for the first time and the food was so so good, very reasonably priced and such a nice atmosphere. Defo can recommend the barns burger and the home made chips and coleslaw were perfect. Great service and happy to recommend thanks.

We always book the barns for family events because we are never disappointed. We visited last night for my birthday. Everything from the menu choices, the quality of the food, the service and the ambience was perfect. Can’t wait to return.

Our favourite restaurant. Food was once again amazing I can thoroughly recommend the lamb. Reasonably priced, fantastic quality and the staff couldn’t do enough for you nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely be visiting again.

We come here for delicious food

I booked a table for a Saturday lunchtime to have a meal with my fiancee on her Birthday. It only took a phone call to book a table which made a change from having to go online. The dining area was tastefully decorated and included local history pictures on the walls which was a nice touch. The staff that took our respective orders were polite without being overbearing and as for the food itself it was well presented with the portions being generous to the least. This part of Staffordshire sadly doesn't possess an abundance of quality places to eat with this establishment being a beacon of light and I would recommend to anyone who is visiting Cannock or nearby and who wants high quality food at reasonable prices to make own way to The Barns and I guarantee that you won't be disappointed.

Nice hotel and bar area.rooms are clean and spacious

Beautiful place, eat alot here as food is delicious but never stayed until now. Rooms are nice enough, the drawers were broken but we weren't using them so no issues to us, ordered food to the room, will be staying again

Been here twice now and the food has been lovely both times. Both times have been a Sunday afternoon. Went as a family group of 12 both times and reserved in advance. Food was lovely with good sized portions. Both times now not one of us has the room to order a dessert as all full. See you again when were back up in Cannock in February.

I recently visited The Barns for a few drinks with a colleague who was leaving. To my surprise, I was charged £163.10 for a Pepsi Max. When I noticed the charge through a phone notification and brought it up with the bar staff, I was made to feel like I was lying, even after showing them the transaction on my banking app. The staff didn’t seem apologetic, and no gesture of goodwill was offered. They eventually refunded £160, but the overall experience was not pleasant.

Nice pub excellent staff good beer, nice food as well if you fancy a meal

Great coffee, fantastic pub even better food. Staff are always welcoming, friendly and happy to serve you. Would reccommend

Back at our local to sample the new menu after being abroad. A warm welcome as usual with a friendly atmosphere. We were seated & served promptly despite it being a busy day with a wedding & large function taking place. Myself & my Mom ordered the plaice which was fantastic. My brother had the Thai salmon kebabs which he was delighted with also. The 2 ladies at the table next to us ordered the Tuscan chicken & seemed very happy with it so we will back again to work our way through the rest of the menu.

Great place ,great food,great hospitality

What can I say!! Absolutely fantastic place and staff. From night porters, reception team, housekeepers, bar staff and of course John the manager nothing was too much trouble. All so polite and helpful. Meal the night before my friends wedding was superb, good portion, breakfast are beautiful. Wedding meal excellent. Would highly recommend this beautiful place wether it be for a meal or Wedding venue. Loved it xx

Found The Barns on the CAMRA website. We are travelling from our home in the north of Scotland to the ferry in Plymouth and made The Barns our stopover. Rooms are lovely and the bathroom, in particular the shower, excellent. Went down to the bar for a drink. Excellent real ale and my wife loved the Shiraz. The meal was superb, beautifully cooked and the portions were most generous. I have no hesitation in recommending The Barns, we will certainly pay another visit when in the area.

We booked the Barns as our wedding venue after having it from Leicestershire to Staffordshire due to an unforeseen issue From the initial meeting we were always treated as individuals and nothing was ever too much trouble for Bruce and his team They always answered our queries and constant questions and we always felt Informed and involved throughout. The day itself was fantastic from start to finish, John the wedding coordinator was brilliant in reassuring a very nervous groom (me) , ensured the bridal party were where they needed to be at the right times The food was brilliant and no one could believe that they could actually pick from A prearranged menu….rather than the very boring and traditional method of eating the same as everyone else The DJ supplied was great and played such a varied playlist that kept the dancefoor busy all night The staff worked tirelessly to make the room change’s from ceremony to meal to evening reception just seamless so a massive thanks from us to you all

Was here on Saturday with friends and it was great , all my friend and i cleared our plates. Great food , Very polite and helpful staff . For those who have been i highly recommend it We will be returning on our next trip that way ..

Came for Anniversary meal, food was awful and bland definitely not worth the money. Table wasn't ready and not shown to just told where to go. Portions were so small especially the Salmon no sauce or crust on it. Not good value and not brilliant staff.

We have visited numerous times in the past for lunch as well as attending functions and always enjoyed our visits. Unfortunately, on this occasion, the food was somewhat underwhelming with both meals being just bland and lacking flavour. The service and welcome was fine but sadly you can get far better lunch meals at surrounding pubs in nearby Cannock, Burntwood or Lichfield.

Here for work event. Not bad room. Food was solid too

Lovey hotel, comfy pillows and beds, super staff

Went to The Barns this evening for a meal as they always offer a lot of gluten free options. As always the service was impeccable and the meals were plentiful and hot. Our starters were spot on and we then went on to have our mains. We’d both gone for the Gammon, however even though the majority of the food was excellent ( I didn’t want peas so they gave me mushrooms) the gammon was incredibly salty and I couldn’t eat mine. I did mention it to two members of staff but I didn’t really get any response. I will go to The Barns again, especially during the colder months as the gf bread and butter pudding is yummy.

Went to restaurant which is really nice. Nice decor. Staff pleasant and food lovely.

Really lovely restaurant with really nice decor. Staff friendly and food nice. Had lamb shank which was delicious. Would recommend.

Myself and my wife and my mum and dad had our evening at The Barns just now. We all ordered different dishes, the food was delicious, plentiful, very reasonable prices. The staff were exemplary, vey polite, efficient, a real credit to the place. Thank you very much 🙂👍

My wife and I held our wedding here on 27.7.24 and we couldn’t have wished for a better day! Consultation- we first met with Bruce 3 years ago, after looking at several venues we instantly felt at ease at The Barns. We wasn’t pushed, we wasn’t told how our day would go and Bruce even explained how there were things we didn’t need such as canapés etc where other venues had insisted we had them. To us it felt like we were in control of our day and upselling was not their priority. The lead up to the day: emails flowed nicely and we were booked in to do our final decisions. We met with John and nothing was too much trouble. The day before: Bruce was there to great us and help unload our decor etc as a bridezilla who had planned everything to a T I wasn’t worried at all and rightly so. Come the day my wife had stayed the night before. Our bridesmaids arrived early and sorting breakfast for 6 bridesmaids last minute was no issue. An extra room had been put aside for more space to get ready without question. I arrived around 11am and the next hour and half went fast but John was on hand to ensure all was calm and in order. Fixing my corsage when I hadn’t a clue. Getting us in order into the ceremony and making sure our whole day was organised. Food and drink: amazing! Everyone I spoke to raved about the food, so impressed that they had a choice at each course, not like other venues where everyone had the same. Food was hot, served quickly and everyone left the wedding breakfast full! Evening buffet was hot roast and again so much food, no one left hungry. Everyone at the barns were friendly, reassuring and went above and beyond. Even when one of our rooms got cancelled accidentally as 2 people had the same name, it was sorted quickly by the team and a room was found. I can’t say I will be getting married again lol but I can honestly say I will not hesitate to recommend The Barns to anyone who is looking for a wedding venue. Bruce, John and the whole team- thank you so much for making our special day as special as it was! Love Mrs & Mrs Morrissey-Wells xx

We was at family Wedding nearby and booked to stay at The Barns overnight. Had a lovely comfortable stay. It was a lovely clean room and a fan was provided which was very handy. The bed was very comfortable and not a tiny double like some hotels provide. It was very quiet there overnight, even though there was a wedding being held at the venue. The shower was very powerful. The staff here are wonderful. The receptionist gave us a warm welcome. The breakfast was lovely hot, very tasty and not greasy. The breakfast staff was amazing. So friendly and efficient. They worked so well together amazing team work. You can tell how well a place is run behind the scenes by seeing how well the staff work together and are happy in their job. Thank you all for a very pleasant stay.

Belated anniversary meal decided to visit the barns. Concur fully with previous reviewer regarding initial service. Almost left without ordering due to sitting there for an age before any waiting staff came. Lots of staff but no organisation whatsoever. Food came & I thought it tasted fine & devoured it as we hadn’t eaten that day. I ordered the gammon, my husband said he thought it wasn’t cooked but it tasted fine so we consumed our food. Very soon after leaving I suffered the most terrible stomach pains resulting in discharge almost immediately too which continued throughout night & following day. This was down to the meal. My husband contacted the barns regarding this only to be told that likelihood it was other illnesses circulating namely COVID etc. He was also told that they were stringent on food checks preparation & service? As no other complaints were received they would report this to environmental health too? I very much doubt that will be the case & how a director as his titled email stated can diagnose gastro related ailments is truly remarkable. Needless to say a return won’t be happening. Go elsewhere.

Hotel rooms are lovely and clean, location is on a busy road, so it's not the barn vibe you expect. The restaurant was very disappointing with no vegetarian options. There were 2 vegan options, both of which were tasteless and, as a non vegan, I do not appreciate being forced down that road as the only choice.

Excellent hotel, rooms are clean, well equipped, restaurant and bar excellent. Highly recommend

Been for a meal tonight back in the day this place was somewhere you needed to go and could never get a reservation what happened. This is not a complaint I’m trying to help the service was 5 star but the food was shocking the starter was warm but not that nice the main course was horrible the chips tasted of dirty fat and well let’s just say I won’t go back you have a beautiful venue and I know you do a lot of weddings and functions but sort your chef out and you will be packed good luck for the future as you really can turn this around.

Turned without booking but was told you can choose any table not reserved. Barman took drinks order which promptly arrived. Great selection of food including sandwiches I liked the idea of being able to choose a small plate with all the quality of main. Both of us had lasagne one of the best. Thanks 😊

Very nice rooms and facilities, friendly staff, good parking options

We received the best service possible from Bruce and the team with our wedding. Everything was organised and done to perfection!

Had my 60th birthday meal at the Barns, everyone who attended thought the set menu was value for money, the staff couldn't do enough for you despite the bar restaurant being full, a large wedding party and two full large tables upstairs. Many thanks to all for making my meal special.

We had a great day, the wedding breakfast was fantastic & a big thankyou to paige&Josh. The staff were attentive and friendly. Great stay overnight and the breakfast was enjoyed . Thankyou the barns.

This is the second wedding we have been to here, both were lovely events.

Very very hot inside. I had to keep going outside. Food is ok , nothing out of the ordinary.

Lovely staff and food and great service clean and comfortable accommodation, Stayed 2 nights would come back after this great stunning food and fabulous service from time I arrived to the time I left . May me have stunning views but you ignore that when your there with everything else with the rooms finished to a high standard

Overnight stay as attended a wedding on 32:03.34 excellent day made even better by the excellent staff . Thank you to everyone

Second time I have stayed at the barns hotel and once again they have delivered. The food and service was a site to be hold. Lovely staff the owners should be proud thank you for a nother wonderful stay thanks to the chef

Touch pricey but enjoyed our stay

Popped in on way to Scotland stayed the night, rooms good, clean decent size, the food was also very good along with a very decent brandy, would definitely stay again.

We did a photo 360 booth there, lovely staff very friendly

I cannot thanks the staff enough for their prompt actions on a night that will live in my memory forever. On Thursday 7th March I suddenly became ill and collapsed into unconsciousness and fitting. The friends who were with me told me I was unconscious / fitting for over 20 minutes. Going in and out of consciousness. The staff helped put me in the recovery position and helped bring me round. The paramedics who took me to hospital advised that my blood pressure had suddenly dropped and why I started to feel light headed and a cold sweat before I collapsed. I am so thankful to everyone that helped on Thursday night. I am not sure without the staff and my friends that I would be here writing this today. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

First time staying at the Barns which was for a business trip. Lovely hotel with spacious and clean rooms. The restaurant was lovely. Only let down was very little vegetarian options and breakfast was quite greasy and felt like it had been heated in the microwave rather than fresh.

Met with a group of friends for lunch on this occasion. Have used the Barns on numerous occasions over the past few years and never disappointed with the food or accomodation when stayed over for example New Year Celebrations. Venue always clean and well cared for. Staff very pleasant and helpful, certainly would recommend.

Lovely food although the lite bites menu does seem to get smaller each time we go.

A lovely meal with friends in a lovely clean welcoming restaurant Staff were friendly and attentive would highly recommend

great evening, wonderful food and and excellent service

The Barns's second-floor private room was hired by a very large group of us for a party in February 2024. We pre-ordered our food before coming along. There's a small free public car park next to the hotel if you can't get a space outside - just be warned it's uneven under-tyre, so first gear is a must! Upon arriving, there wasn't a restaurant desk or anywhere to really signpost us - I tried to ask passing waitstaff when I could identify them in the Friday night crowd, but they were run off their feet. I ended up sticking my head around different areas including the bar and the function room trying to locate my troop. Eventually I went back to the bar to order a drink and hopefully an opportunity to stop someone long enough to ask for some directions (which I did receive). It would've been good to perhaps have the private room on the signposting, especially as the stairs are tucked away behind the main restaurant. I found where I was meant to be eventually, all was well. The second-floor hall is pleasantly decorated with fairy lights across the beams, chandeliers, thick patterned curtains and black and white photos. There isn't a bar there, you'll have to go back down to order drinks but there are loos which are convenient. Onto the food: the starter I ordered (the mushrooms in stilton sauce) wasn't fantastic. It's a shame that the party menu doesn't have the mushroom and stilton toast instead from their main menu, which sounds far better! The sauce was watery and the salad had started to brown around the edges, so that was left uneaten. Again I wanted to bring it up with one of the waitstaff, but they didn't appear again until the end of the starter to collect the dishes - by that point, it was too late for me to ask for a replacement salad. We weren't asked if we enjoyed our starter or if there were any issues. The main course was nicer, and the staff were much more attentive, including checking in on us during the courses. I'm not a fan of shared dishes of veg and potatoes on large tables as it's always a bit of a pain passing them around, but we worked out a system in the end and at least this way everyone got the sides that they wanted. The tarte au citron was lovely - in fact, all of the puddings looked good. Just the right portion size and cream was served in separate jugs for self-serve. The waitstaff offered teas and coffees afterwards, which came with small chocolate mints and sachets of cream. 3 seems a bit harsh especially as the room is beautiful and service did pick up as the evening went on, but when it comes to parting with hard-earned coin, there are other establishments I prefer in Cannock.

We had a lovely meal food was cooked perfectly service was very good staff were friendly and helpful will visit again

Wonderful food and attentive, welcoming service

Nice venue staff are really friendly.

We booked the Private Function Room for a birthday party for my parents and the service was incredible. The team was excellent. Would highly recommend!

Always a nice place to stay eat and drink

Jenny and the team were amazing for breakfast this morning. Food was delicious. We also had a party there last night food and service was great, everyone got what they wanted to eat. It was a wonderful night for my husband's 40th. Thank you to everyone involved last night and this morning. Everyone was really nice and polite.

There were 25 of us staying at the Barns for an evening meal and a business conference. All our needs were catered for with no trouble and Jenny and the whole Barns team couldn't be more welcoming, friendly and accommodating. The food was excellent. Thanks again

Jenny and her team were absolutely sensational providing an utterly flawless service to me and my family. They were super respectful, helpful and they made sure everything went incredibly smooth. A special thanks to Jenny as we couldn’t have wished for any better service :)

Well what can I say my son booked his wedding over 2 years ago and the day finally arrived. What a day it was from the minute we arrived we were greated by John who was with us all day and what a fantastic job he did. The ceremony was amazing, along with the decorations supplied by Eventieleganti Venue Decoration. The weather let us down a little for outside photographs but made up for it inside the Barn as so many places to go. John then announced the couple in for our Wedding Breakfast the meal was delicious and I have never know where you have the choice of 3 for starter, main and dessert and you can order on the day! Then John became Toast Master - finally all headed for the Bar while the room was set up for the evening and once again he made sure throughout the night that everything was perfect. The hog roast was exceptional and if anyone ever worried there wouldn't be enough for 180 guests don't because there was loads. Breakfast the next morning was also so tasty and considering how many of us booked rooms it all went of to perfection. So a massive thank you to the Barns and their amazing team of staff because you have made a nervous Mum's day the BEST.

I must say we have been here many times without real issues but last night was poor. There was obviously a wedding going on so staff were pushed. Food here isn’t cheap pub grub but I had Thai curry which was spicy but tasteless, someone should tell the chef that they use lemongrass in Thailand. We also ordered 2 steaks cooked medium well, one came medium rare and the other was rare and wasn’t eaten as a result , no one came to see if our meals were ok so when the plates were cleared we commented on the steak that was left, 1 free sweet was offered as compensation but we declined. The bill arrived without anything knocked off and a £25 steak ended up in the bin.we don’t go out to get money knocked off but we certainly don’t go out to get ripped off either. Sorry won’t be rushing back again.

Family function. Amazing night had by all ages. Food fantastic, drinks cheap , dj brilliant.

As Always excellent service and wonderful food can't recommend it enough give it a try you won't be disappointed

We held our annual Christmas Lunch here (7th year running) and have to say as usual we were not disappointed, Jenny and her team made us feel very welcome as usual and food and service was excellent. They always go above and beyond and i couldn't recommend this place enough. we also use the Hotel facilities for our employees who have to travel and they too have positive experiences. Thank you Jenny for looking after us we will see you very soon.

We had our wedding reception here in December. What can I say? All of the staff were fabulous, especially Bruce and John, but literally the whole team couldn't do enough for us. The venue is lovely and the food was great. I'm so glad that we chose to have our special celebration at The Barns. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending it to anybody. Thank you so much folks. X

Celebrated our Anniversary at the Barns on Friday 6th Jan food was excellent service was prompt and Excelent food was lovely and hot both starters and mains,Waiting staff were very efficient and pleasant I would highly recommend The Barns

Fairly good meal. Service fairly slow

Amazing food, great portion sizes and reasonable price. Jen and the hosting team were so friendly and put you at ease. A truly wonderful evening was had

Love the Barns hotel we stay here regularly, rooms clean and tidy, food in bar and restaurant excellent.

Came here for New Years Eve, 5 course meal and disco. Wow Jenny and her team were amazing we made two requests one being needing a pin for a dress malfunction and both were met. They went above and beyond in a friendly manner and make sure we were 110% happy 😊 Thank you so much for providing us with such wonderful service defiantly recommend!

Works Xmas do... fantastic night. Meal and disco were brilliant and staff were really helpful. Full english breakfast was nearly as good as my Mom's 😉. Have absolutely no complaints!

Works christmas meal. Very good food.

Cost £1.80 for 1 inch of pump Pepsi mixer.. Cheaper to go to the Co Op and get a small bottle for the drink.

Some nights at The Barns Hotel. During a job not to far away I stayed in this Hotel. Very nice location. Staff very friendly and helpful. Had a great stay. Would stay again once necessary and available. 👍

The barns is the only hotel the team at work will stay in, you walk in the door and they know who you are, they know what you drink and your favourite items on the menu, the food is homley and always filling, we are never left dissatisfied with any meal we have at the barns, Jenny is always smiling and can have brilliant conversations with her. sue, sue pours the best Guinness outside of Ireland, stopping at the barns makes staying away from home with it! Thanks to the team and your homley hospitality every time!

Meal for 7 but no one really raved about any of the meals... I had the hot chilli pulled beef thing and was told its hot which I was fine about as I like hot food... but it wasn't hot at all, it was quite dry and bland like it was sat around for a few days... chips were nice. Shame this place has gone downhill. Still good for drinks though and cocktails are nice

Four of us visited this place for lunch. Lovely area to eat your food. We ordered 4 x starters. Soup Pate Mushrooms in garlic sauce Brie wedges. All starters were delicious and top marks. We ordered for mains 3 x lamb shank 1 x braised beef. The lamb fell of the bone on all three meals and was outstanding. The only let down was the braised beef. It was all dried up on the outside which made it not very succulent. What a shame as this was the only downside of the whole service. We ordered two desserts. 1 x dutch apple pie 1 x cheesecake Both of these were lovely. The staff were all lovely and seem like a great team. They were all very polite too. The drinks were very nice and between us tried the real ale, wine and coffee. The toilets are lovely and clean. Overall a decent place to eat, not cheap but good food. Would have been top marks but for the braised beef.

We went out as a family fit a birthday lunch. 9 people in total and nobody enjoyed their meal. What a shame. I ordered a burger and wad told its very spicy so I asked the waitress jf it can be made less spicy but...

We have been holding the AGM and Christmas lunch of our classic car club at The Barns Hotel for years. We've already booked for next year. Ideal facilities and located at the epicentre of our UK membership. The staff are just brilliant, always friendly & helpful and their food is just great.

Had a staff meal there last week and it was amazing. Staff always happy and excellent food abs service

Jenny and her team at the Barns Hotel in Cannock really took good care of us. The entire team at the Barns was warm, friendly and very accomodating. My 1 week stay could not have been any better. Thank you!

bell'alberghetto camere curate e pulite. a piano terra un buon pub-ristorante. abbondante colazione all'inglese

We had a magical day, all staff were very helpful and polite nothing was too much trouble. We would like to say a big thank to Jenny, John and Lee for making sure everything went smoothly, and showed enthusiasm and energy throughout the day and...

Daughters wedding everything was superb.

We recently had our wedding at the Barns. We had guests from all corners of the UK. From the Orkney islands to Plymouth to Wales and Norfolk. We brought them all together to celebrate our wedding. The accommodation was fantastic. The food was fantastic and the staff were amazing. They aren't your usual stuck-up staff. They are all down to earth people and they made me and all my guests feel welcome. I defiantly recommend anyone stay, eat or even get married here.

Held my Birthday Lunch there and everything was exceptional. The organisation was very good, the service was superb and everyone commented on how good the food was and that the portions were very good indeed. Well done to all the team.

Really enjoyed our stay... Much better than expected...

Well maintained hotel with very helpful and friendly staff. Would always be happy to return.

Very good portion size. Delicious food. Amazing service, staff went above and beyond.

Everything about this place was great for a family wedding. Would recommend for short stays. Great food, helpful staff.

Wow!! My husband and I held our wedding here last week and we cannot praise Jen and the team enough for their countless efforts to ensure our day went smoothly as possible. From way back when Bruce managed the initial planning right through to leaving...

Stayed for one night in September as couldn't find a room in a local hotel to Rugeley, however we were really impressed with The Barns, lovely room, bar, restaurant, and great customer service. We will definitely book again as we often stay near Rugeley when visiting family. Even though The Barns is a little further away from where we'd normally stay, the experience of one night's stay has given us confidence to book again.

Very impressed, great room , great service 👍

Honestly worst night's sleep I've had in a hotel. Paper thin walls where you can hear people in the other rooms, there was a wedding and noise of the people from the party shouting and fighting in their rooms until around 2.30am when I finally had to call down to a staff member to pull their finger out and do something as i was ready to check out in the middle of the night and head 2 hours home. Then you had staff emptying all the bottles into bins after midnight and to top it off NO HOT WATER in the room! Not worth the £120 i paid, checked out at 7am to drive home a I could get some sleep.

Lovely restaurant and staff. Very nice room. The restaurant and bar staff super friendly. Great selection of Gluten free food and drink. Thank you

Gone down hill completely. Our family went for Roast dinner with very long wait. The Veggies were served in baths of water , sauces never arrived the service was disgraceful and the attitude of the staff and manger was totally out of order. Food was...

We used the Barns to hold the wake following a family funeral. From start to finish the whole event went without a hitch. The food was fresh and tasty. We had a buffet, there are different options of food choice. The food was plentiful, we...

Wedding… my daughter got married here last Saturday, everything was perfect from start to finish.. staff are lovely and the setting and food fabulous. Rooms are clean with comfy beds. Breakfast delicious too

A lovely place to drink, dine or get married! Hard working staff and very professional.

We had Sunday lunch with daughter and husband today all really enjoyed our food and excellent service from Jenny and the team look forward to the next visit.
