Another enjoyable brunch. The service was first class as always and the food was delicious. Clean plates and full tummy’s all round. Enjoyed our overall experience and we look forward to seeing you again soon.

Had a lovely lunch and browse in The Barn. Food was excellent. I had tart of the day but my new potatoes were too hard to eat. The negative for me was there was garlic in a lot of the dishes, and I have an intolerance to it. Would recommend it though (as I already have).

Despite living under 5mins drive away, this is only our second visit to Skylark in as many months. And why we’ve not been more often - or visited sooner - I have no idea!! What a special place. There are no airs and graces to Skylark but the location, atmosphere and food are brilliant. It’s a wonderfully laid back venue where you immediately leave your days stresses at the door. The plus side for us is that dogs are made to feel welcome and not an inconvenience. Each dog was given a treat on arrival, a bed to ensure their comfort and enough cuddles and fuss to keep any attention-seeking dog satiated. The food has been fantastic on both visits (breakfast and pizza) and the staff amazing! This will - has - become our new “go to” local. In the words of Arnie - “I’ll be back!”

I have had a Sunday lunch here twice now and I can honestly say I think the beef is the best I have eaten in a very long time! Cooked to perfection and just how I like it. Compliments to the chefs and all the staff there. 10/10

Always a pleasure coming here. The coffee has improved and a good selection of food. My only negative is the price of the Budda bowl which seems expensive and a small selection of ingredients.

Food was lovely although chunky chips were overcooked. Bit of a wait for the food to arrive

Amazing breakfast as always. Best Chai Latte!

Love your place. food is good but every time I come I ask for same dish and every time you serve it in different size, presentation and even taste Which spoils my meal . I will not give up, i will be back

Visited The Barn once again. Love the food and ambience and hence return frequently. My friends burger and chips were great but my vegetable soup was not seasoned well . I loved the cheese scone !

Visited the Cafe with family on 18th March the service and food was lovely will certainly be visiting again

Very good quiche and salad lunch. Dessert of Eton mess sponge was very dry.

Always had an excellent lunch & have spent time with family & friends.

We visited on a Monday lunchtime we were escorted to our table promptly and our order was taken. There was a long wait for our food. The food was well prepared and looked delicious. The bubble and squeak meal was ok but the Suffolk ham was very hard to cut up and very chewy. We may return but just for a coffee and cake.

Took mum for Sunday lunch yesterday for Mother's Day. Extremely delicious & generous portions. Beautifully presented plate of food. Have previously been for brunch with a friend. The food was superb, would definitely eat here again.

5 star.

Lovely food. We Went for mother's day breakfast and service was great.

We booked in for a birthday celebratory breakfast, four friends and the food was absolutely perfect and the service was very good. Thank you and well done everyone. We will be back for more soon!
