Woodies at The Barn

Woodies at The Barn sits on Grange Road in Netley in a refurbished barn that opened as a wine bar in 2021. The building retains original features from its earlier use on the former Grange pub site, including 200-year-old oak beams and exposed stone and brick walls. It stands close to Netley Abbey and Royal Victoria Country Park, with the waterfront only a short distance away, making it a straightforward stop for walkers and day visitors exploring the area.

The atmosphere is relaxed and unhurried, with plenty of outdoor dining space in the courtyard and patio areas. Seating outside suits both smaller groups and larger gatherings when the weather is fine, and the outdoor space links easily with the indoor bar. Inside, the retained historic fabric sits alongside a contemporary wine-bar layout.

The drinks selection focuses on a wide range of wines and beers on tap. Food centres on bar meals, stonebaked pizzas and Sunday roasts, using locally sourced ingredients where possible.

Regular events form part of the offer and sit alongside the everyday food and drink. The combination of indoor character and outdoor seating gives the place flexibility for different times of day and group sizes.

The location next to the country park and near the abbey also makes the barn a practical setting for private occasions. Parking is available on site.

For visitors to Netley or the surrounding stretch of Southampton Water, Woodies At The Barn provides a practical mix of wine-focused drinking and straightforward meals in a converted barn setting that keeps both character and outdoor space. It works equally well as a stop after time in the country park or at the abbey, or as a destination for a meal or drink in its own right. Tables can be reserved through the website when required.
