LOCAL.
Established in 2020, The Dunham Barn is a unique and friendly countryside dining destination, situated in the heart of Dunham Massey.
We are passionate about serving simple honest dishes, always freshly prepared and using only the best locally sourced produce from independent suppliers
Home Made, Tasty...
All locally sourced, lovingly made home cooked dishes that taste wonderful, all nestled in the heart of Cheshire near to historic Dunham Massey.
A SPACE FOR EVERY EXPERIENCE
We offer a range of delectable afternoon teas to celebrate special occasions (or just because!), a regular Fish Friday and a whole array of activities including Wicker Weaving Classes and Forage Box Events plus many seasonal events! Please note, due to limited capacity these all do require pre-booking.
We love dogs...
Especially the well behaved ones … and offer water bowls, free treats, and a specialised dog menu! It’s the perfect place for you and your furry best friend to relax and enjoy high quality food and drinks after a long, bracing walk together around the beautiful Cheshire countryside
