The Red Barn (Geronimo Inns)

I had heard the Red Barn was average, but I wanted to see for myself. The food was awful, the service appalling and my friend found a screw in her meal. The manager was indifferent and the waitress rude. However, the band was excellent.

That said if we ever find a restaurant that offers good food, an area for the kids and value for money we tend to frequent it often as opposed to searching out another.
