Moor Hall is a gentry house of mid-sixteenth century origin, and one of the most important listed buildings in the UK.

The Barn features rustic brickwork and a characterful setting with an open kitchen, offering views of Moor Hall
and the Lake.
In 2017, chef patron at two Michelin-starred Moor Hall Restaurant with Rooms Mark Birchall converted the adjacent building as a contemporary casual dining experience called The Barn on the same grounds as the flagship restaurant.

Customers have called the restaurant and the food 'superb from beginning to end', 'outstanding', 'exceptional', 'fabulous', 'excellent' and 'superior', while The Michelin Guide has described the cooking as 'modern and imaginative' with an 'appealing à la carte menu that offers dishes which are British at heart, with understated elegance and well-judged combinations of delicious flavours.'
