VIP Wine Bar and Grill in Stockport

I held my 70th birthday party/disco/buffet here on Feb. 22nd 2020 and have to say we were extremely impressed, not only with the new décor, since we remembered it as "The Barnhouse", but also with the entire presentation of venue and efficient staff. The choice of both hot and cold food which we had arranged beforehand was also extremely good and exceeded our expectations. We had some lovely comments from our guests regarding the high standard of food. Well done to you all....it was absolutely brilliant and I had a night to remember always !....I highly recommend you.

Only had a drink here but a beautiful place to be in. Haven't checked menu hence 4 star but place really nice to have drinks.

Very informal staff very friendly. Steak and homemade chips out if this world do tasty. Will definaty go again.

Great food & excellent hospitality

2 hour wait between starter and main course and the clientele in bar used extremely colourful language

Went on a Saturday afternoon , great bar & great staff , had the special steak & chips ,great quality and very well presented.

First time in this place. Had a lovely full English breakfast and a great cup of coffee. In front of a beautiful fire. I didn't take any pictures of this amazing old barn. But I will be back there next weekend. So you all can see ..

Staff was ok , the interior is cosy, surroundings the furniture etc.. really nice it's a real shame the food wasn't for us. Sad to say we wouldn't visit again.

Just had a meal there table booked for 1pm meal arrived at 2pm cold

We arrived with a groupon voucher for a steak. The steak and trimmings were presented and cooked to perfection. The ambience and furnishings were lovely. As for the staff Lisa and Louise they went above and beyond to accommodate us. We have never had a steak cooked to such perfection and the Diane sauce was like nothing I have taste before (delicious if you like mustard). They are working hard to bring back custom and rebuild the barn houses reputation. We will definitely be going back.

We booked a table for 4. Upon arrival it looked quite dark and empty. No atmosphere at all. The decor and furnishings are great. It's a pity the rest of it doesn't match how good it looks. We were told that they had no chef so we could not have our meal that we had booked through groupon. We did not receive a call telling us our meal was cancelled. We ordered some drinks while we decided where to go to eat. We were not offered an apology or complimentary drinks. They said they would honour the voucher in the future. A day later we got in touch with groupon to let them know what had happened only to be informed the restaurant had processed the voucher. We now have to battle with groupon and our credit card company to get a refund. We were given a story off the restaurant that they had been taken over in the last couple of weeks. I suspect this was a lie.

We booked a table for 4 on Sunday 13th October at 5pm. First impressions were good the decor and furniture were lovely and the restaurant was decorated throughout in fairy lights. We were told when we sat down that we could not have starters and there was only roast dinners on offer. We could however have dessert. We were asked if we wanted wine and had to ask for the wine list. We also had to ask for clean a clean wine glass as the glass was cloudy.We made our choice and were then told that the only red wine they had was Merlot, apart from my dinner, the beef was tough and I couldn’t eat it, the other three were happy with theirs. Our plates were collected and we waited for our desserts. After about half an hour of nothing happening we approached a member of staff and were told that she was sorry the kitchen was closed and we could not have dessert. We went on the recommendation of a friend who had been a couple of times so perhaps our experience was not common. We won’t be repeating the experience again.

The night I visited there was no bitter, no Guinness, just lager, and this was a party. So if you want lager you'll be fine, if you want a pint of Guinness or bitter, good luck.

Great food plenty of variety very good service Would highly recommend

Great food, friendly service. Awesome parrot!

Absolutely delightful place. Furnishings and décor are a sight to behold and the food was excellent with more than enough to eat on the plates. Definitely falls under the radar though because we were the only 6 people in there apart from one or two others having a drink. A real shame because it deserves so much more. Would go there again without hesitation, but we are mindful that parking could be an issue. Very small car park.

I booked this via the Groupon meal 2xsteaks & wine for £20.00. A great deal! I phoned to book our meal reserving a table for six. We arrived at 17.30 with the first impression that this was 'the local' pub , but was soon invited to sit at our table, The staff were lovely and friendly, though did give the impression they did not know what was on the menu! Regardless of this we felt very welcomed. The place was clean and the food was delicious! All six of us felt the same about first impressions , and could not find one thing wrong with the food. Generous portions, and a cake packed to take home! Thank you for a lovely evening

After passing this place regularly for many years decided to try it with with a steak deal meal.My wife and I were not disappointed as the steak was delicious and the chips and salad were excellent.Will definitely go again.

Was greasy and the steak wasnt that nice the staff were friendly just the food wasnt up to much

The premises and the food were both very good but some of the clientele spoilt things a little. Quite a number of people rather noisily drinking in the bar area in their work clothes and I noticed one diner wearing a baseball cap and another who looked like he'd never held a knife and fork before.

I've been eating pies for forty something years. I have never had one remotely as good as their meat and potato. Huge, very heavy, and packed with steak and perfectly cooked potatoes in a delicious, substantial gravy. All encased in a glorious buttery pie crust. My one regret is I didn't have any appetite left for pudding. Bravo, VIP.

We had a lovely time celebrating my nieces 12th birthday. The staff were great and the meals were lovely and reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Food was greasy, service was good, the food was cheap so you get what you pay for.

Went for Sunday lunch we ordered various meats, ie Turkey, beef and lamb. The food arrived on cold plates and all the vegetables on the 7 plates were practically cold! 2 sent them back and the rest just got on with it and ate them as it would have been chaos otherwise! One plate had practically no meat on it at all but they soon sent some more out when it was pointed out to the waitress! Very little staff and although the girl who waited on Table was very pleasant she didn’t seem to know what she was doing and didn’t ask us if everything was alright! It’s a great pity because if it had been served on warm plates and the vegetables had been hot it would have been really good! Thankfully the cheesecake and sticky toffee pudding for deserts were delicious.

Went for a meal at vip about 12 months ago and had a terrible experience with very little that was on the menu in stock and what they did have which was steak turning out to be sour. Even though this had happened decided to give it another chance as they was advertising breakfasts. What a mistake booked it 3 weeks in advance and turned up with the family this morning who several members had gone out of the way to turn up, went in at 10 o clock to hear they had no idea of a booking and no breakfast was being served even though it was still advertised outside . Very unprofessional and terrable customer service i do believe this is just a drinkers pub because even at that time a bloke was at the bar drinking a bottle of cider. Please avoid this place.

The place is set out lovely. Mains were delicious. Nice atmosphere. Waitress was very hrlpful. Desserts let it down that's why I gave it a 3 star

Great sunday morning breakfast will be going back again

The best find! Just stopped to get food. Presented with the most amazingly fabulous roast dinner. Could not beat it!!

Amazing place, friendly staff. Good was absolutely delicious, highly recommend here.

Barstaff did not know the price of crisps. The till would not work and they did not go and find anybody to sort the problem. Sorry but this is the last time we will stop here for a drink. Was so much better when it was the Barnhouse

My grand children had booked us in here for a Father's Day present....turned up to be told " we do not do food Monday to Thursday by somebody who is just sitting at the bar " then the bar maid who apologies and says it's only my second shift gets the owner on the phone who again makes a excuse and asks me to rebook... Do not understand why take bookings when you are not even open ..

Great little venue for my nephews 21st .. really nice place and very reasonably priced too

Really lovely meal. Waitress was lovely to. Would definitely recommend

The food was stunning and the staff are amazing and friendly definitely coming back again.

Visited on a recommendation & using a Groupon voucher. All four of us had the Steak meal, which was superb & not one of us was disappointed. Staff were excellent, nothing was too much trouble, especially ‘Amber’ who was an excellent waitress. The Sunday lunches looked really good and other diners had great comments about them, very reasonable priced. Will certainly be going back again.

Between the 4 of us we had minted lamb pie, steak and ale pie, beef baguette and fish and chips. All meals were delicious, filling and well presented. Staff were attentive without being ott. 4 meals and drinks were £37, excellent value. Will definitely be back.

Amazing food, portions way to big for me. 😁 new bar staff working today, who was really pleasant and helpful. Owner also around and was very very approachable and helpful. A lovely lunch to celebrate my daughter's 1st wedding aniversay. Will be calling in again. Thank you

100% Quality of Food extremely well presented. 100% Service - Staff went above and beyond to check we had everything we needed.- will be visiting AGAIN and Again.

Visited for Sunday lunch, would recommend, lovely atmosphere and fabulous meal.

Great food, we had the mlnted lamb pie. I have a good appetite but the pie had me beat, asked for a doggy bag to bring home the rest. My dog Cindy enjoyed what I could not finish. Top marks for service in this child friendly bar.

Been going to VIP for a few weeks now for breakfast. It's really good value & the quality of bacon & sausages are great! Going has now become part of our weekend morning routine! Last Sunday we decided to try the Sunday Roast delivery service. Great choice of meats, really easy to order, our roasts turned up at the time we specified and all four of us cleared our plates (even my fussy 10 year old!) We'll definitely be ordering again.

Wouldn't be able to have a home cooked Sunday roast, if it wasn't for VIP, as i live on my own, and struggle to mobilise, due to an illness. Fantastic service, with all fresh ingredients. Cooked perfect, a really tasty meal. Thank you to all at VIP for, giving me the opportunity to have a home cooked Sunday lunch, with excellent chose of meats. Thank you to all the staff.

Great food, good value for money with nice environment and excellent service. Recommended 😁

Poor service. Poor food. Treated terribly. The regulars/friends of the staff seemed to be having a great time and also seemed to benefit from not having to wait for their turn at the bar. Maybe you should turn it into a private members club. We...

I kept seeing this restaurant on Facebook, with some lovely meals so asked my son to take me for Mother's Day. We had the special menu, either 2 courses or three. Everything was presented well and the food was lovely. We took my sister and...

Very good steak. Good value, good service but unpleasant language from other diners spoiled the experience.

Enjoyed a perfectly cooked 10 oz rump steak. Very flavoursome and quite delicious. Good service, very stylish furniture in the restaurant. Pity about the offensive language from neighbouring diners which quite spoiled our experience. Fortunately the resident parrot has not yet picked up the vernacular

Bad customer service, everyone can make there own mind up. But this is my experience. So I booked on the 9th March to go to VIP yesterday 26/3/19 at 6:00pm. Through Groupon and got a confirmation email, I even rang VIP a few days ago to increase my table from 4 to 5. (I should have trusted my instincts then as the phone experience was dreadful) Arrived yesterday to be told not expecting us, showed me not in the diary for Tuesday but Wednesday, not a problem no one else in the diary and the restaurant was empty. But they had no steaks and it was a steak groupon deal, ok again no problem we’ll look at the menu. To be told again No it’s only pie night only doing pies!!! We’ll book you another night (not in a apologetic way either) that was no good to us as it was a birthday celebration so we want to be out tonight. Can I have my money back (as paid in advance) No wouldn’t do that!! At no point were we shown any amount of good customer service. We were obviously not welcome that night. A Tuesday night, the restaurant was empty, you’d think they’d be glad of the customers who are coming in to eat, no other food in the kitchen except pies?? So we went somewhere else to pay again for a meal I thought was already paid for!!! This is the third and last time I will go in and should have trusted my previous judgements. The feeling I get is unless your a regular or taxi driver you feel very awkward.

BREAKFAST today was exceptional. 5 STAR *****

Great Place to eat, BEST Steak meal in Stockport, Nice Friendly and Helpful Staff, and The Pies are Delicious,

Visited this venue for an 18th family birthday party. Its isn't huge but a lovely place to hold an event with quirky decor & even a parrot that repeats what you say. Staff are very friendly, drink prices reasonable & the food delicious. Ideal for a family or group gathering of any kind & easy to access off the M60 motorway. Thanks for a great evening 🙂

Thank you for a warm welcome attentive service and quality food made a birthday very enjoyable

My friends took me to this restaurant for a meal while I was visiting Stockport I ordered the minty lamb pie omg I was not disappointed it was full of lamb and the pastry just melted in your mouth it came with home made chunky...

So pleased we found this place. Amazing home cooked honest food for honest price. Couldn't fault it. Very modern and stylish with homely feel!!

We came as a table of 8 last weekend, and despite the restaurant being / getting very busy, the food was second to none, and the service was great. We all had Sunday roasts, which are great value, lots of meat, extremely well cooked and...

The best roast dinner I have ever had & for just £7.50 it’s even more amazing. It’s all home made & even get an extra jug of gravy for those gravy lovers. Been the past few sundays and will carry on doing so.

I purchased a Groupon voucher for 10 oz Rump steak meal with 175 ml of house wine for two at a good price. Rang Friday lunchtime and was able to book a table for the same evening. On arrival, we were greeted by a very...

Food is almost always very good to excellent.

Food excellent, only problem had run out of beer only Lager on offer.

Absolutely delicious food , GREAT prices and selection of food and desserts on the menu I was shown. The young irish lady on bar that served us was a very nice bubbly lady which just tops off the bar/restaurant. Out of all 10/10

Have just been and had a meal with friends and the meal was excellent. The service was excellent and we would go again

Went for breakfast and it was a first class breakfast and amazing quality for the small price we paid xx

Awful people, awful place, awful food

This place is an absolute gem - right down to Jasper the resident parrot. The food was truly lovely & really great portion sizes. Service is also excellent and the decor/atmosphere really cool. I believe breakfasts are amazing - I will defo be going back to try it out. Loved it!

Poor food, rude staff. Would not recommend and would not have visited had I read previous reviews shaming the place. They need to improve their standards when serving food. a constructive review on they left a cryptic review in reply instead of a a vow...

Incredibly rude staff, more mature lady with glasses was very abrupt, unhelpful and her manner was so poor. Shame the decor looked lovely but out of principle we walked out after being spoken to like that. We only asked if there were serving food and...

We went last night for the first time to VIP. The food was excellent and the staff were attentive. The restaurant is stunning - love the furniture. The only downside were the customers at the bar who were loud and the language was totally inappropriate...

Great portions and absolutely fab Sunday Roast for £7.50. Chef even does delivery,which we thought was fab! Hangover Sunday or a treat for older relatives! Lovely staff.

Firstly, if the review were purely for the quality and value of food, this would be a 5 star review! Now I hate to criticize a small business, especially when the food was so delicious, however I hope this is read as constructive. I visited...

A beautiful meal tonight the VIP platter for two

Food was good value for money but the staff aren’t very customer friendly which spoilt our experience!!

Me, my wife and two daughters visited yesterday at 4:30 which was a Saturday and we was surprised to see that we were the only people who were eating at the time. We ordered the VIP platter for stater which didn't come with plates or...

The most uncomfortable place to sit you could ever wish for

Felt a little embarrassed when the young girl said in a loud voice it's a voucher yes we New you were coming the food was nice we didn't. Get a choice of red or white house wine just given red I would have preferred rose probably would go again

Lovely decor and a very entertaining parrot. Buffet food was amazing- especially the pie. Drinks were reasonably priced and the staff very attentive. Will have to go and try the Sunday lunch soon.

Good food but opening times depend on how busy it is I think as I have been a few times when other places are open and it has been shut.

Great place great food and very nice staff would highly recommend it

I would recommend the VIP wine bar and grill. We have just had a lovely steak meal. The service was excellent and atmosphere great on a Friday afternoon . We were looked after by a lovely lady who could not do enough for us. We will return soon... maybe on Sunday to try the famous breakfast.Thank you

We have never been to the VIP but as on our doorstep it would be lovely to give it a try. The barn is lovely. Decor is great and the wood furnishings are stunning. We waited for a while for drinks which was fine as...

it is rubbish, dont waste your time or money, one waitress in particularly is so rude i cant even put it into words, the food is ok at best, and the owner runs a taxi company, no experience in running a kitchen, the co owner...

Decided to try the VIP restaurant last night went with my husband and two kids. We ordered some drinks first, the beer my husband wanted had run out, they have no fresh orange juice for my daughter and only a few cocktails were available. I...

Too dark in my opinion - sky lights would help I think ??

Management horrible to staff don't recommend

1st visit to The Old Barnhouse, transformed inside, lovely modern wood furniture. Popped in for a Sunday dinner, attentive staff, excellent chef. I chose Roast Ham, wife had Turkey, lovely presentation and a really well cooked plate of food. A couple of pints of Golden...

Lovely meals & nice place to eat.

My wife and I popped into VIP last month for lunch and it was dark, badly lit, tables not so clean and lacking staff. One obnoxious chef and a poor waitress ran off her feet doing everything else. The menus looked threadbare. We left. I...

Took my 3 brothers for a Sunday morning fry up and I have to say the service was perfect, food was perfect and the place itself is really cool. Definitely going again. Update.......... Went again 1 month later and the food was even better ha ha . Love this place.

Beautiful place to dine! Fantastic New Chef with many years experience and a passion for what he does. Only out to please diners with good quality, fresh homemade dishes.
