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

‼️‼️‼️LOCAL BUSINESSES, MAKERS & WORKSHOP HOSTS — WE’D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU 🎄‼️‼️‼️‼️
We’re thinking of trying something a little different at The Dunham Barn this Christmas and, before we go ahead, we’d love to see how much interest there is from local businesses.
We’re looking at creating a Christmas shopping evening which will open the 2026 Xmas festivities on Friday 4th December.
The idea💡💡💡⬇️
To make it a festive evening with local stalls, Christmas activities for children, marshmallow toasting, festive food and drinks,and live music — somewhere people can come, shop locally and really get into the Christmas spirit.
We are looking at having a large undercover space available and we’d love to fill it with a good mix of local businesses.
It could be gifts, food, homeware, clothing, crafts, beauty, jewellery, children’s items, festive treats — anything that works well for Christmas shopping.
We’d also like to make the space available for pop-up stalls throughout December, so you could join us for one date or several depending on what suits you.
And ……we’re also looking for people who may be interested in running Christmas workshops — wreath making, candle making, crafts or anything else you think could work in the space to throughout December
There’ll be lots going on at the Barn with the Grotto, and other festive events in the area so we’d love to turn this into a really lovely local Christmas destination.
At this stage we’re simply registering interest to see if we can make it worthwhile.
If you have a business, make something, run workshops or know somebody who might be interested, please message us with what you do and which dates/ideas you’d be interested in.
And please feel free to tag or share this with any local businesses you think should be involved. 🎅🎄✨

After a walk around Dunham Massey, there’s nothing better than a tasty fresh bacon barm at The Dunham Barn 🥓☕️
We keep it simple and local — @lovinglyartisan bread, locally sourced meat, freshly cooked to order and served just as it should be.
And a big thank you to Stephanie for the lovely 5⭐️ review❤️
