Once again my wife and I experienced a wonderful lunch at the Barn Cafe. We both chose a Barn Burger, Grilled chicken breast with lots of elements. Our meals arrived in good time and as ordered. Each platter arrived with the advertised bowl of triple cooked chips, which were excellent. However, a few moments later an additional bowl of chips arrived much to our surprise and delight. Apparently “the kitchen” weren’t entirely content with serving the initial bowls. The service is always friendly and engaging whilst remaining professional.

Service slow tickets hadn't gone through and dont like you have only paying by card option

Lovely lunch, have been here several times. Always good service and tasty food. Would recommend

My friends and my go-to meeting place for morning coffee or brunch. Pleasant surroundings, friendly staff and tasty food! Often busy, which is a sign of a successful venue. Until the next time!

Really good food served by happy friendly staff in a comfortable setting surrounded by plants, gifts and everything you could want! Fill your boots!

3 friends having brunch together. We sat outside undercover in the new to us area. The service was slow but only because they were so busy...a testament to them..we didn't mind. The 3 ladies we were looked after by were all very smiley and personable. My granary bacon sarnie with fat removed and ketchup was a real treat. The others had avocado and poached egg on granary. Empty plates returned. The Barn is a great destination for food, relaxation, browsing an excellent choice of plants and more.

Lovely food and the roasts are really good. Always my go to place. Would highly recommend.

Always a treat to visit, food, service and staff wonderful. Can never fault anything. Food is fresh, beautifully presented and always very delicious. Thank you

This has turned out to be our favourite garden centre and the cafe here is just amazing! The Sunday roast in particular is highly recommended. Lovely attentive staff who always seem happy and are always very helpful. The chef and pastry chef are excellent - better than most restaurants. Looking forward to returning soon

We haven’t been to the Barn for quite a while… We were delighted by the service and the meals we and our 3 friends had were all very good….as were the cakes! Thank you for a lovely experience.

Lovely food and service Friendly staff Enjoyed our lunch with you

Little bit on the warm side but the food was amazing

Food as always great, staff friendly and efficient,, atmosphere relaxed. Look forward to my next visit.

Excellent service very friendly staff, loved the food, great atmosphere

Service and atmosphere was as good as always. My friend and I normally have a breakfast. I have the vegetarian breakfast but this time I didn't enjoy the mushrooms that are normally my favourite. The sauce on them was very strong and the spinach was to peppery. Eggs were perfectly cooked.

My friend and I met for a breakfast, as we do fairly regularly . As always, the food was delicious, well presented and freshly prepared. Staff were friendly, helpful and efficient and the whole dining experience was relaxed & enjoyable. Love the place and would recommend it any time.

Fabulous Fabulous Had the slowed cooked lamb that was cooked by the chef. Have got to say that this was one of the best meals we had tasted in a long long time. The quality and tenderness of the lamb cutlets was absolutely delicious. This quality of food is rarely matched and this meal would not have gone out of place in such eating establishments such as the Ivy and Le Caprice Restaurants

Sunday lunch was generally good a bit short on meat. Two fairly small slices of beef seemed a bit mean. Good veg and roast potatoes.
