The staff are always so friendly & polite. The popularity if the place speaks for itself. The food is always super fresh and the portions are perfect.

First time and amazed! We've just moved to the area and were excited to take our friends from US for a beakfast at the Barn. The atmosphere is perfect, traditional stunning garden Centre with a cafe! The decor is cosy, staff are fast and smiley, food is delicious. Love the no cash policy as it keeps everyone safe. Can't wait to go back and explore the shop a bit more. Thank you Barn staff for our lovely first experience!

Absolutely lovely meal with the family, the food here was fab. Our grandson has a few few food allergies and our waitresses Emily & Chloe couldn’t have been more helpful - and a big shout out to the chef who cooked him a wonderful pasta meal so he felt part of the group

Visited on a Sunday with my father as we love the roast but as it was warm we both opted for a salad alternative. I had the Buddha Bowl with Salmon and my father had the Halloumi salad with beetroot. Both were delicious and good value. It’s a lovely setting with good service and a broad menu selection to cater for all groups. A hidden gem that I would highly recommend.

Lovely lunch as always with friendly and helpful service. Went back later for afternoon coffee and cake! The only problem with this venue is that they do not accept cash. Like many people, I do not want our freedom of choice to use cash instead of cards taken away, so may have to look for an alternative venue that does accept cash next time. Great shame.

Yet another lovely breakfast at The Barn . Can’t fault anything . Good service , good quality tasty food and I feel the price is fair for the quality . I wouldn’t return as regularly as I do if I didn’t enjoy it . Just a lovely place to catch up with friends . We never feel rushed
