Another excellent breakfast at The Barn. Food always amazing & customer service is exceptional.

You can always rely on a quality breakfast. We have been coming here for years. Have tried lots of others, but it never measures up. They do an amazing job.

We visited for the first time last week as a result of winning some vouchers from a local charity event. The cafe was lovely, modern, clean with a good array of food selections. We ordered the Ploughmans and the signature burger and both were splendid. We only live around the corner and never knew the cafe existed but know we do we will be returning customers.

A lovely place, staff are very friendly and the food is top quality.

4 of us went for Sunday lunch yesterday, 3 of us had the beef sunday roast, and 1 had the fish and chips. All were absolutely excellent, couldn't fault it. The food was piping hot and so tasty and we finished with treacle tart which was fantastic. Would highly recommend this place. Excellent value for money.

We went for lunch on Sunday and had a delicious meal. Good service and lovely atmosphere.

First time having breakfast here. Great service. We were seated quickly and our order taken within a few minutes. Drinks came quickly followed by the food around 10-15 minutes later. Good portion sizes and super tasty food. I can’t fault any part of our visit. Will definitely be back again soon.

Met some friends for lunch and we all enjoyed our visit. Food and drinks were delicious.

Always a nice experience, lovely cafe feel with lots a atmosphere, a place to meet up natter and enjoy

Once again, a super experience at The Barn Cafe. It was lovely to sit in the outdoor under cover area as our party needed a little more space. The service was excellent and cake and coffee delicious!

You can’t beat brunch at The Barn! It’s such a lovely place to go with super service and really tasty grub. I was disappointed that the Mediterranean terrace area has been temporarily reassigned to garden furniture, but our experience was just as enjoyable eating outside. The main cafe is lovely but can be a little noisy and you’re best to book - it’s a popular little place.

Good service, excellent menu choices, excellent food except the scones which are dry and tasteless.

Second time we have been here and the food was excellent. Will be one of our go to places for lunch .

Very nice place and the food is fabulous. Recommend the poached eggs on avocado toast. Best to book a table in advance as can get very busy
