Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Red Barn Inn
Upmarket country dining pub, as you would expect in these parts, with plenty of space both inside and out. The bar and several general seating / dining areas are located in the main (ex-farmhouse?) building, with The Orangery room behind and a large covered outdoor area at the back to supplement the various patio and garden areas at the front, side and rear. The former agricultural building, housing the main restaurant is confusingly glad in black weatherboard (but looks a picture within), branches off at 90° back towards the road. As a seemingly unbranded Youngs establishment, it was no surprise to find its Original on one of the four handpumps, so I went for a Harvey's (£6.00) because I arrived slightly too early to catch the local Shere Drop from Surrey Hills coming next as the third cask ale after the line cleaning had finished.

Old Blue left this review about The Red Barn Inn
A smart, L-shaped country pub with a large garden and car park, apparently a 300 year-old converted barn, with beamed ceilings, white walls and gastro grey wood panels. The large room to the left as you enter is most noticeably barn-like, and is the main dining part, the middle area having a mix of comfy chairs, sofas and tables with a bar billiards table and dartboard, and the far right being a ‘pantry’ area which I didn’t look into. I doubt the dartboard ever gets played - it’s just not that sort of pub. My visit yesterday found a busy wedding reception taking up the barn area and much of the garden, although not to the detriment of the atmosphere. Light rock music was playing at low volume whilst I was there.
A Geronimo Inn, the bar sported three handpulls offered Harveys Best, Sharps Six Hop IPA, and Westerham Special Bitter. I opted for the last of these purely because I hadn’t tried it before, rapidly regretting it when I realised I had just paid a whopping £4.30 for an extremely mediocre beer. I might come back here sometime for a game of bar billiards, but probably not for any other reason.
