Disabled Access
Disabled access is via the rear entrance. We have an accessible toilet on the ground level, so if you need a table that is close to disabled amenities, please let us know.
Children and minors
The Barn Owl is a family friendly environment, although we do ask that your children are supervised. We do have baby changing facilities in the accessible toilet, and we have high chairs available.
Prams and pushchairs
Due to the constricted nature of some of the dining areas, we would ask you to let us know so we can try and accommodate you.
Bookings
We do take bookings, but we try to make sure that there is room for customers who are not able to book in advance, so if you have not made a reservation, it's not the end of the world. If there are no tables free we will always try and get you in. Please make bookings by calling or using our online bookings calendar link at the top of the page. Unfortunately we are not able to take bookings via social media.
We don't reserve any of our outside tables so if you enjoy a little alfresco dining these are on a first come first served basis.
Dogs
Dogs of the well-behaved and on-the-leash variety are welcome in the bar area, Doggy treats are always available and we have a dog menu for the extra well behaved. We do ask you to refrain your furry friends to stay off the furniture.
Keep an eye out for our monthly dog walk where we kick off with a bacon butty and a coffee.
