Fantastic food, service & ambience

Fantastic evening, pizza best we had eaten, staff friendly, funny, creating a wonderful relaxed atmosphere.

I often visit skylark on my walks, and grab a coffee or/and slice of cake ... Skylark is a lovely place and great atmosphere. On our last visit we came with friends for breakfast and all left very happy. The food was delicious, great quality and plenty of it. Some in our party had special dietary requirements, but that wasn't a problem at all. Fabulous place, great beer ( so I'm told) and friendly staff . Highly recommended. Oh and they love dogs too

Lunch with the GD. Had to wait for the RM to return but she was working at the cash desk inside on a busy Sat lunch service. Very friendly greeting. Had to ask for the Children's menu, I had the Quiche special. It was ok but a bit bland. Too many potatoes for me but tasty , small dressed salad which was ok. Good selection of drinks. Very busy but service was good and pleasant . Noisy as little to absorb the sound. Think I won't go for lunch again but at breakfast time it is great especially if you can sit outside.

Really lovely lunch to celebrate our son getting married in Australia!! Buddha bowl minus the avocado and dressing was just perfect! The tart was lovely too and our cakes very yummy! X

Had a lovely lunch! The food was really tasty, the cakes looked amazing but we didn’t have room for more. We weren’t hurried at all and we sat and chatted for two hours!! Thank you The staff were very friendly too. I will definitely be back

As always, we had a great experience at The Barn Cafe. The breakfast was excellent and it was hard to choose from such a varied and interesting menu. Can't wait to visit again soon.

Food has always been good although overpriced. Unfortunately today we felt the food was extremely overpriced. Buddha bowl with chicken £20 and im sure theses bowls have got smaller, not a substantial portion. The garden salad really was a joke, it came on what I would describe as a slightly larger than average side plate and the salad certainly didn't fill it. With the feta cheese it was £17.50 for a basic salad that would have made a large starters!

We always enjoy our visit to the Barn Cafe. The Barn Breakfast was absolutely delicious and can highly recommend. Service can be a bit slow but we’re never in a rush. However we haven’t been for a month or so and the service had definitely improved

Wonderful lunch had yesterday, Sweet and Sour Chicken was fabulous, sorry no photo as meal was so delicious I forgot all about taking one ! Service was superb.

Lovely Pub, excellent service, great Sunday roast. Would happily return!

Lovely Sunday Roast chicken

As per usual on a very busy Sunday morning the service was excellent with polite members of staff. The food was up to its highest standards and quite swift even though it was busy. A very pleasant morning. Thanks.

Always a hit for me and my friends. This is our regular ‘go to’ for brunch. Lovely staff and great food. I’ve even had their afternoon tea as a birthday gift which I can highly recommend!

The staff are very nice , the food is OK It is all about value for money I do not mind paying extra for good quality food and portions to match I have been a regular for a number of years and I feel that the food portions have been shrinking but the price has been increasing From a Buda bowel to the latest Chicken Caesar salad with three lettuce leaves although large .. sliced potatoes that didn’t make the grade to one full one … no boiled egg as advertised and the skinny fries were cold Disappointing

Lovely staff, fresh delicious food, great live music.

Tart would be better made.with a lighter short crust pastry as filling was solid

Great lunch as always, fresh creative salad. Favourite place, friendly and efficient service.
