The Barrel House
I have never really been able to get my head around this place, despite living in the town for nearly ten years. I've been in a few times, but only a hand full of times and eaten there only the once.
Some people probably find the interior 'cool' or 'arty' or something. Personally I find it scruffy and uncomfortable.
I don't understand the opening and closing times either. Sometimes the place closes at six pm, even if the place is busy.
It is a live music venue too, which is great if that's your thing but if you have booked a table to have something to eat I would imagine it would be rather annoying.
On the occasion I did eat there, the food was very good! Not as good as Rumour, but not as expensive either!
