Always a pleasure wonderful food in a lovely location a regular visit for sunday breakfast is always a treat

Friendly service. Comfortable and inviting. Great quality food and drinks. Now one of our favourite places for lunch.

We bought our grandaughter and her husband for lunch. We all had a lovely meal really enjoyed it. Good service too. We have been before and will be coming back again soon. Thank you.

Think it's wrong can't pay with cast at all a lot of older people don't have bank cards guess that's not the sort of people in anymore ? And now expensive due to table service

Nice surroundings , friendly staff and a well cooked breakfast.

The atmosphere was lovely, all the staff were happy and smiling. The food was beyond good, I had steak on sourdough this was hands down the best ever sandwich I have ever eaten, it was delicious, all the fillings worked in harmony. I even loved the mixed leaves as they had a really lovely dressing on the!this was followed by a lovely moist and tasty piece of carrot cake.

We had a lovely relaxing lunch. the staff can’t do enough to help you. Would definitely recommend

Had Sunday lunch . Food and service excellent .

Visited on Sunday with my husband for a rare child free lunch. Food was absolutely fantastic, but unfortunately the service really let it down. 5 tables walked in after us and were all served before us. It was only when we pointed out that we were being missed that a defensive waitress (who was insistent people who were serviced in an order, despite us witnessing differently) finally went and told the one person who was taking orders that we were waiting. In total we waited 20 mins for a drink order to be taken, despite the restaurant being very quiet. The food was beautiful but it really spoilt the day for us

On a personal level, I have nothing negative to say! We use The Barn Garden Centre Café with family so there are usually seven of us. The menu is varied and there is something to suit everyone, it's a pleasant environment and the food, be it breakfast or lunch, has always been tasty, well cooked and presented. I have always found the staff to be friendly and very helpful.

Great please to meet friends, enjoy a cake and look around the plants and shop. It is simply lovely. Good service and delicious food. Thank you.

Our go-to place for a lovely breakfast. Very accommodating, great food and service.

I had the vegan breakfast, and it was delicious. I will have it again. Coffee always good; service is always great, with lots of smiles.

I am lucky that I have visitedlregularly with my friends from when the restaurant first opened, and I always think that it can't get any better..... and it does, brilliantly.

The food at the Barn is the best of any garden centre restaurant we know. The chips are incredible and there is nothing on the menu we haven't enjoyed. Excellent coffee and cakes also. The garden centre sells great quality plants and some nice homeware.

Delicious - we had the fish and chips highly recommended. Service friendly and prompt. Great garden centre and shop too
