The Laughin' Barrel - BASKERVILLE

Come for wine tasting. Quite rude staff, in fact very rude. No idea of customer service or how to conduct a tasting. Wine was pretty average so decided to have a coffee. Was so hot my mouth is still burning. Furniture is honestly a safety risk and of poor standard. Avoid

We ordered the meat platter and found the turkish roll to have green mould on it. I took it up to the counter and asked why the didnt check this before serving it to us. The lady then said.. oh this is how its meant to be, it didnt taste moldy did it? I replied 'well ive never eaten moldy bread : they gave us a replacement but we didnt stick around.

They've changed their name (they're called Txoko Brewing), but the food and service is better than ever. Covid-19 hasn't stopped them producing excellent take-away woodfired pizzas and other tasty fare on Friday nights and for lunch on Saturdays and Sundays. Support a local small business and enjoy a good feed. Don't forget the quality beers brewed on the premises!

Such a lovely little winery! Great wines, amazing place to take the kids. With an outdoor playground and extra toys. Food is also amazing, great selection! We shared the beetroot salad, wood fired pizza and both were fresh and tasty. Also good options for either sitting indoors or under the trees outside.

Our first visit back in about 4 years and the 'barrel didn 't disappoint. As part of a large group, the set menu was lovely for this late lunch celebration. The food came out quickly, beautifully cooked and was of generous servings. The kids meals were sensibly served the same time as the entree, and had a great side salad to the fish and chips which my son loved, and as a parent always nice to see a bit of greenery on the kid 's plate! The playground, toys and running through the vineyards provided great entertainment for the kids, and the venue in itself has gorgeous vistas, lovely to sit back with a wine or coffee and take it all in. The wine is delicious and well priced, only comes by the bottle however, no option to buy just a glass. Over all a wonderful place to visit, especially with the kids!
