Woodies at the Barn

Repurposing what once was for our local community.

A former derelict 200-year-old stable barn has been transformed into a brand new wine bar full of character, with a contemporary feel.

The 200-year-old original oak beams remain a feature inside, as does the stone and brick work on the walls. A complete new roof has been fitted, a new sub floor, and oak posts outside. Original concrete tiles have been replaced with a new slate roof, and the bar front that you see today came out of the old pub that was on site.

After coming up with various options, a wine bar, offering locally sourced food, seemed like the best addition to Netley. We are situated next to the country park, close to the waterfront, and close to Netley abbey and the local church, which will make it an ideal venue for weddings and events. Our main goal has been to create a friendly atmosphere within the space provided that caters to the locals and surrounding areas.
