The menu at The Barn is overseen by Head Chef Nathan Cornwell who took the helm in 2019.

sauce and Yorkshire rhubarb with woodruff mousse, rhubarb sorbet and meringue. In keeping with Mark and Nathan’s commitment to sustainability and selfsufficiency, the ground floor also houses a small dairy, charcuterie, and meat-ageing room. This year’s Michelin Guide has also bestowed Moor Hall Restaurant with Rooms, with a Green Star accolade, which recognises the practises that Mark and his team have put in place across the property to ensure the conservation of resources, where possible. Any ingredients that can’t be produced on-site or grown in the Moor Hall gardens are sourced from a network of trusted West Lancashire suppliers. The kitchens also take great care not to waste any food and anything that can’t be repurposed is funnelled back into compost, either in the garden or on a national scale. Additionally, it is one of the first venues in Lancashire to introduce charging points for electric vehicles.
