A fabulous Sunday lunch enjoyed by veggies and meat eaters alike. The roasters were some of the best I've had when eating out and the pavlova dessert was delicious. Really high end food, if I didn't live so far away I would go here regularly!

We are regular visitors to the Barn but it has become increasingly difficult to be seated comfortably to eat. There are always many tables available but the staff are unable or unwilling to allow one to choose a seat. The outer area is very cold and the main room although charming is very very noisy especially if seated at central tables. Service is often slow /very slow and the food has become increasingly complicated and expensive. Maybe the cafe is a victim of its own success or maybe it needs a manager to step in. Disappointing decline which could be easily improved.

We had lunch at the Barn yesterday and were beyond delighted with the food. I had the nourish bowl and my husband had the prawn sandwich. The presentation, flavour and freshness was wonderful. This is our new favourite spot for lunch. Highly recommend

Had a lovely lunch at Barn Plants. The food was fresh, well presented, and full of flavour, with generous portions. The setting is beautiful and relaxing, surrounded by plants, which makes it a really enjoyable place to spend time. Staff were friendly and attentive without being intrusive. A perfect spot for a relaxed lunch — we’ll definitely be back.

Menu very limited and pretentious. Used to do lovely paninis but now I struggled to find anything ‘normal’ so ordered sausage roll. It came out so full of different herbs it was inedible. The two people I was with tried it and didn’t like it either. Service was great. Lovely staff. Coffee was delicious. Will go elsewhere for food though.

This was my second visit. Not as good as the first time unfortunately. While the staff were very pleasant and helpful service was a little slow and we had to ask chase our drinks post meal. Vegetarian options were limited.

Lovely fresh food with a good choice of food. Staff very helpful and friendly. Only downside is the. Coffee,just tastes awful. Please change your brand as it's too bitter. This has been like this every time.

I’ve eaten here a few times over the last year or so. The food was tasty but the service was disappointing. We were told it would be a 40min wait for food when we ordered but the waitress wrote our table down incorrectly so we ended up waiting a lot longer. After a complaint the food arrived quickly!

Eaten here many times over the last 2 years or so and recommended it often to others. I have been disappointed with my last 2 visits. I recommended it for the 2nd year running as a Christmas meet up with 9 friends, we booked, we selected our food well I advance but once seated we waited for well over an hour for our food. It was busy and we were offered free hot drinks in recompense. Fine, good service resumed. Yesterday I ordered an open chicken sandwich, the chicken was disgustingly rubbery, I left almost the entire meal as delivered to table. I was once again offered a hot drink in exchange for a poor meal. It didn't wash this time. My friends reported her quiche was delicious. Time for new venue.

Excellent food and service from the lady who seated us and the lady who took the order. Abit let down by the lady small with long dark hair who bought the food. She disappeared without asking if we required sauces etc to the point I had to go and find some and she did not return to see if we wanted extra drinks etc even though she did appear at the end after we had paid to clear our table. Needs to learn that good service should mean returning sooner not just plonking food down and moving on

Yet another amazing brunch was enjoyed. It has been such a joy to watch “Skylark” grow into such a fantastic business while never losing its charm or enthusiasm. A truly lovely place that I love visiting whenever I can. Such a great place for eating, socialising or even to just to grab a takeaway, go and discover it for yourself, it will not disappoint ⭐️

It was a busy day for the Barn, 40 odd minutes for the soup. We were warned on this but it was not hot. I mentioned this to the staff, who are always good. A one off I’m sure
