The Village Inn in Barrow-in-Furness

We visited on a Friday evening expecting a busy pub/restaurant but were surprised by the lack of visitors. The food was exceptional and the choice of food was great. We have visited many times and never been disappointed. A lovely place to visit.

We went on Saturday 12th October for a truly amazing evening meal the service, the atmosphere was perfect, the choice of dishes on the menu was definitely good my partner had a lovely meal and so did I strongly recommend booking a table if in the area .we will be going alot more often.

We went as a Birthday meal. The Main Courses were dreadful. We ordered the Chicken Dijon and Beef Lasagna. The chicken was chewy and the the sauce was completely bland. The chips and side vegetables were equally bland. As was the Lasagna. The worse meals we ever had and we returned them because they were so bad. The Village Inn was once a place of the highest standards and quality food. I regret that it no longer is. Very disappointing and truly sad to see.

This is a lovely bar and restaurant. Siobhan was very friendly, and the football was on which created a nice atmosphere.

Enjoyed an excellent Sunday lunch. I had beef, and hubby had chicken. Roast potatoes, new potatoes, green beans, brocolli and buttered carrots with parsnips. Absolutely delicious and not over the top pricing. We also enjoyed puddings. I had Eton mess which was in a large sundae glass and he had chocolate orange cake with custard. Again delicious. Great service. Fabulous food. Not expensive. We will definitely return soon.

11 of us went for a family lunch. Very attentive young waiter. Food was delicious, plentiful and very good value for money. Will definitely return

Love the food here, service always excellent. I can recommend the Cajun Chicken Baguette and most things on the menu......the chips are my favourite here than anywhere

This place is absolutely beautiful the food was beautiful, the staff was brilliant , definitely recommend the donut burger

Good food and good service the only downside was drunken people sat outside abusing peyon the way in and then carried it on inside

Consistently good service and fabulous food. A regular place we visit for a piping hot and tasty Sunday Roast. They also welcome well behaved dogs, which means they get to come too. A great place to pop in after a nice walk. Will keep going back.

One of my favourite places in the area. Service is always spot on and the food is excellent. A must visit place

Went here for a date as I always remembered it being so good. Not many people eating for it being a Friday night. I got the fish and chips and my date got the steak, mushroom and black pudding pie. We waited quite a while for the food to come. The pie contained mostly black pudding and mushroom and the fish and chips was small for £15. Lovely place but the food didn't hit the spot.

Lovely big family meal at decent price! Great service and friendly staff. Great selection on the menu, catered easily for vegetarians.

Took family for lunch all 4 of us thoroughly enjoyed it. Staff were lovely all the meals were excellent. Dessert was great will definitely be back

We came for a weekend away for our anniversary and just googled somewhere to eat. It was far from where we were staying. Although small and old, the food was amazing ! The portions were big and everything was just so tasty. The seats in the place are not the best or comfiest as I had a bad back. But it’s dog friendly if you do have a dog. Our server was fantastic a young man (I didn’t manage to get his name) he was speedy, polite and very well mannered. To start we both had soup of the day which was carrot and coriander with a bread roll 8/10, my partner had the rump steak and went for the salt and pepper chips - I tried them and wow I’m not sure what the chef used but they were great ! The meat was clearly a local sourced cut and it was a nice cut and was cooked perfectly medium rare 9/10. I had the lasagne and garlic bread, it came loaded with cheese and was cooked brilliantly very tasty original recipe lasagne just like my Italian grandma used to make with the carrots etc. 9/10. For pudding my partner had the sticky toffee pudding and ice cream which was massive 9/10, and I had the chocolate cake with pouring cream 9/10 the chocolate cake could’ve been bigger. Then we had a latte to finish very strong coffee 10/10. All of the food came piping hot and exceeded our expectation. The food was fantastic, service was great as mentioned the place is somewhat plain and chairs not the best but we didn’t mind as the food really spoke for itself. Parking is a little difficult and you have to park on the road. There are 2-3 steps walking into the pub incase you have mobility issues. There is also a male and female toilet but I did not see a disabled toilet. Definitely would recommend for all of this and two lemonades it was £75

When out with family. Service a bit slow poor lass runnig ragged . Food was beautiful and not over price x i would recommended given it a try. I had the chicken and blackpudding stack wich came with a beautiful creamy sauce think hits off tarrgon in there with white wine. Taste beautiful. Son in had mix grill he was really please with his nother memembet had fish and chips some had stir fries and grandaughter who is a pain with her food told the young lady how she wanted on her plate being meat on plate chipd separate she had the gammon. So eggs and trimmings on a separate plate. Which pleased my grandaughter. Will recommend to people x

Excellent food from starters through to desserts, a table of 7 people and all commented how good it was.

Thoroughly enjoyed our evening. The food was excellent and the staff fantastic! Can't fault it, looking forward to visiting again!

Haven't been for a while..but food is excellent as ever. Although Hunters Cumberland is off the menu, they were happy to do one for me and it was good, no, it was superb as ever. My friend Bernie, had Lamb Chops and she was more than happy with her meal. Will be returning very soon.

20 people had a beautiful Christmas lunch here. The food and presentation was superb. Well done Jason and Nathan. Thank you

An expensive but awful meal. A waitress who doesn't listen to what you ask for, she came to take our drinks order which was half a lager shandy and half a coke (no ice). Returned with a pint of each and ice in the coke, when I pointed out I had requested no ice her reply was, 'well I didn't pour it'. Ordered a burger stack £14 and a chicken fillet burger £13, both were awful and definitely mass produced rubbish. Will never go back to this place again!!

Nice little country pub. Booked for a group of seven and the staff were more than accommodating, including a group member's serious allergies, making them feel safe dining with them, which can't be said for a lot of places. The menu is fairly extensive for the size of the place and whilst everyone enjoyed their starters and mains, the speed of the service (very quick) made us wonder whether the food was completely freshly scratch made - it was a very quiet Thursday evening. Nonetheless, whilst not overly cheap, for the quality of the food, it was reasonable and would definitely recommend. We would certainly return in the future.

What a quaint pub! It was quiet which we liked as we wanted chat over lunch. Food excellent.

Good atmosphere on a busy Sunday night. Staff were attentive to the table and friendly. Food was very tasty and reasonably priced! Really enjoyed the stir fry on the specials board.

I cannot fault the quality of the food, the high standard of service and the general overall experience. The food was cooked to perection and there was plenty of it The Lowe water gold bitter was exceptionally small I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this pub

Food excellent. Service excellent. Highly recommend

Has the special stir fry and it was absolutely delicious. Definitely recommend.

Lovely meal. Excellent service.

Beautiful food! I couldn't turn down the donut burger- a cheeseburger but instead of a bun it's sandwiched between 2 glazed donuts. It just sounded too crazy to not go for and I'm so glad I did. It was incredible, the most beautiful blend of sweet and salty. It's been over a week and I'm still craving another! My husband had the black pudding and chicken stack which he said was delicious, and they had a lovely real ale on which was the first we'd found after 2 days in Barrow-in-Furness!!

Walked 3 miles to go for lunch, on arrival it was shut website stated it was open 2 other customers walked away all very disappointed that they had not put on the website or the door that they would not be opening on Thursday's shocking behaviour of any business will not be going again.

Food gone down hill, smaller, more expensive a lot of regulars no longer go, its rented not owned as he says, still the same local drink drivers going to the other pub in the car

Amazing little Gem of a pub. Food amazing. We arrived quite late and still accommodated us. Well done guys.

Staying in Newton in Furness and the Village inn was recommended to us went today for Sunday lunch and we were not disappointed the food was really lovely and the staff were very helpful and friendly we will be going again during our week here.

A lovely place for a family celebration. Plenty of space at the table and good choice on the menu. Choice of larger and smaller meals. Food was all delicious and staff were friendly and helpful.

Lovely Sunday roast. Would recommend.

Great food and excellent service 👍

Had the most fantastic experience at the Village Inn. Last minute decision to go out for a meal and we certainly weren't disappointed. From the moment we walked in, the staff, especially Danielle, gave 101% attention to each customer. The place was spotless. The lighting and low music was perfect. The menu had so many choices and I opted for the trio of lamb chops, my friend 16 oz rump steak. Freshly cooked and by the time we ordered drinks, the meal was served not long after. . I didn't have the usual thought of, hurry up I'm starving. I was surprised at the value of the meal, the quality was first class. Definately recommend the Village Inn.

Quite a lot of choice on the menu. Ordered the mini mixed grill. Lots of meat, but steak was a bit tough and not very tasty. Waited quite a long time for food to be delivered. Staff were very friendly.

Food was lovely, service with a smile what more do you need 😀

Found this pub/restaurant by chance. We had a drink and decided to have food there that night, got to say the food was outstanding and value for money. The staff were excellent. Will definitely go back when I visit this lovely part off the world.

The staff were great friendly and attentive the food was really good and plentiful there were 4 of us and all had a different meal and we all enjoyed it , there was also quite a large small portion menu if you had a small appetite

Food was beautiful, hot baguette and salt and pepper chips. Very nice. Youndlad serving was great

Unfortunately the quality of the cooking has dropped at the same time as the portions have got smaller and the prices have increased, a lot of the regulars no longer use the Village Inn since it has been taken over by a kitchen porter who is now calling himself a chef, I no longer go in, the regular local drink drivers still pop in before driving to the pub at the other end of the village

The food was fantastic all 4 of us had different meals and there were no complaints the portions were large The staff were great good service and polite It was really good value and we all said we would go again Highly recommended

Food was OK pub grub, staff where lovely but seemed a little disorganised

Gorgeous food, table of 7 & everybody enjoyed the food. Fabulous evening all round, great relaxed atmosphere. Very attentive wait staff, all working very hard. Can't wait to go back.

It’s dose beautiful meals and the staff and atmosphere are lovely. I will be taking my family

We needed to eat after a 5 hour drive and called in to this wonderfully welcoming pub on a Friday night. The 8 oz rump steaks were cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious. I would recommend the salt and pepper chips! Thank you. We will be back :-)

We found the Village Inn while stopping nearby. There was 20 of us and all the staff couldn't do enough for us. The staff and food was fantastic. Thank you for making our first night in Dalton in Furness a success.

lovely food and nice friendly staff made us feel welcome definitely go again

Bizarre night really, drinks on offer limited, no Smirnoff ice/Bacardi, ordered orange wkd received pint of orange! Asked us if we were ready to order food, after deciding from the menu we were told it wasn’t available, not being informed before ordering , young waiter/server got the feeling he didn’t really know what he was doing! Felt like they were waiting for us to leave as we were the only ones left (9pm) and they kept looking over at us, food was ok, wouldn’t rush back

Three of us visited last night for a meal. The main meals (we all had different things) were perfectly cooked (particularly good chips), well-presented, tasty and filling. The desserts were equally good. The staff, who all looked extremely young, were very pleasant and efficient and...

Beautiful meal, friendly staff. Warm and comfortable, plenty of choice for different tastes

Lovely food and friendly service.

Great food just wish you had a kids changing unit in the bathroom hard work to change my niece on the floor in the bathroom.

Good quality food not that expensive made a good alround meal and would return again.

Visited whilst in Barrow in Furness for the weekend absolutely fantastic food great service the salt n pepper chips ate a must best I've tasted enjoyed the food we went back for the Sunday roast day after was not disappointed would definitely recommend a visit and will return next time we're passing.

Lovely friendly staff. Clean. Food is fresh, hot and very tasty and cater for smaller appetite as well as the usual hearty menu. Prices are very reasonable and would very highly reccommend a trip out

A family member rcommended this pub for food so we thought we would give it a try. The pub was welcoming and very clean. The staff were extremely friendly and helpfull. What can I say about the food...Well..hot fresh and good portions and selections. They also have a a smaller portion selection for the elderly or people will smaller appetite. The prices are more than reasonable and we will definitely be going back. I highly recommend this pub for a meal or just a nice relaxing drink. Thank you.

Excellent atmosphere, service and food. Glad I came here on a whim and will come again

Lovely meal very good value for money. The staff very friendly and could not do enough really made the night special.

Disappointing food and the fellow guests did not help

Clean tidy restaurant. Toilets very clean although 1 cubicle was blocked. Starters came really quickly but waited nearly an hour for main course which was quite tasty although the parsnips and roast potatoes where very over done

Lovely food with excellent cheerful service.

Popped in last night and ordered the chicken Balti and pork chop from the smaller menu which was very tasty and excellent value for money, washed down with a lovely pint of Loweswater gold. The food arrived quickly and the service was great, will visit...

The new operator is fully maintaining the classic recipe of 'good food and service at very reasonable prices' for which the Village Inn has been famous and popular for many years. No frills but just good menu choices and a warm and friendly atmosphere are...

Absolutely gorgeous roast dinner yesterday with friends. Food was piping hot, veg selection lovely & staff are excellent. Well done to all concerned, well worth a visit

Loved the food, didn’t take long, baguette was amazing, staff were friendly, warm welcoming and would 100 go again!

Staff very welcoming, and good with the little ones. Food arrived quickly considering there was 16 of us and all within good timing. Everyone enjoyed their meals which ranged from baguettes - steak - salmon. Dog friendly, our dog sat happily under the table (...

Pre ordered, yet waited hour for food. Sauce cold, unable to cook steak correctly to order.New chef👎🏻

Excellent friendly staff will be back to eat

Nice food good atmosphere really pleasant staff

Now owned by a Kitchen Porter from a Walney pub, thank God the chef from the previous owner is still there as I don't know how a Kitchen Porter would manage even though he likes to say he is a chef (or should I say...

No logs for the fire, good job I'm still waiting for global warming to kick in

We arrived at 6 and had a couple of drinks first in a very friendly and warm atmosphere. Staff were very attentive as soon as we arrived and we didn’t wait long to be seated. Food was excellent - good quality and large portions all...

Very friendly staff good service and a wide selection on the menu

Nice meal again friendly staff .

We visited recently as a family and the food was great but was spoiled for most customers by an over enthusiastic owner (who was obviously Inebriated ) who constantly walked around the tables being loud & brash, and unwelcome, by people trying to enjoy their...

Lovely food and excellent service. The roast was the best I've had in a while. Great value too, will definitely be returning. Thanks.

Used the Village Inn for years. Never had a bad meal. Andrew at front of house so welcoming. Love the place.

The food was AMAZING I already can not wait to go back!! As for the owner of the pub he kept us entertained all nice such a good atmosphere would highly recommend giving this pub a visit 5*

The nicest group Christmas lunch I have had for a long time. We were made very welcome & well looked after. Thank you

Friendly atmosphere with a nice open fire. A good selection of drinks and great food.

Perfect meal prawn cocktail and filet steak

Lovely Sunday roast the tenderest beef I've tasted in a long time

Had mini mixed grill, bloody lovely.

This place is Absolutely Fantastic! From the time we entered to the time we left. The service, the food, the atmosphere was 2nd to none! We will most certainly be back.

Gorgeous food and the owners are lovely We walked through the door to be greeted with smiles and laughter. Nothing was too much and all the staff are extremely welcoming.

Nice enough place but the food was disappointing.

Very chatty host & friendly staff. Great value meals! About £70 for 4 of us! Loved the lasagna. First visit for me. And wow! Real chips! Short taxi ride from Barrow!

Lovely pub, friendly staff. Great food, very well priced and plenty of it. Went there twice in a week as the hotel we were staying at was twice the price.

30th August 2021, we arrived and had a tale booked for 19.30. On arrival and glad to see things have gone back to normality and Darren at his best and remembered and it had been a while, we like a tabe in corners so we...

Found this pub restaurant at the last moment for dinner and it was spot on. The pub is located just 3 miles off Barrow-in-Furness in a quite village with good ambience. The pub is welcoming and the food is awesome. Made fresh from the order and it is made to order and right quantity to fill apatite. Would recommend strongly for a good evening dinner with family and you won't be disappointed.

Fantastic food and the warmest welcome. This place is simply outstanding.

Great food, great service, lovely birthday meal had

Brilliant meal came out hot we had a table of 9 all food came out together well recommend will be going again

Great food and friendly staff, would definitely recommend 10/10
