Very pleasantly impressed with the upgrades since my last visit a few years ago. As a wheel chair user I appreciated the fact that I could get under the table. Had difficulty with the tea-cups, a mug would have helped. Greeting cards selection was first class.

We had lunch to celebrate my stepmom’s birthday and we both chose the same meal. We are so glad we did. The Mediterranean roasted vegetables with pesto sauce on toasted Focaccia bread with the option of Feta cheese was absolutely divine. So tasty. The food and cakes at The Barn is always first class. Service was spot on.

Had a lovely lunch here. Service quick and friendly staff. Chips are amazing! Only criticism is maybe could be more choices on menu as is quite limited.

I am very ambivalent about this place. My colleague had the Lamb Tagline which she said was very good although not a huge portion. My fish and chips was at best mediocre. The peas were like bullets and the chips overcooked and rock-like. The fish was cooked although batter could have been lighter and at £15+ I felt it was overpriced. My Eton mess cake was tasty, but my colleague found her Coffee and Walnut rather dry. The atmosphere is noisy and difficult for conversation and the service is slow. So some good some bad but on the whole a disappointing experience. I am surprised at its popularity which undoubtedly is.

Excellent lunch on Friday 14th April. Good food choice reasonably priced. Tart of the day very good with potato and salad. Service friendly and considering the restaurant was full very prompt. Slightly noisy for our 90 year old friend

Good service with waiter. However, specified a food allergy and plate arrived with item so was a bit disappointing. Food generally good but very limited children's menu which disappointed.

4th time I’ve been to Barn Plants and not actually been served. We waited 20 minutes however not one server approached or acknowledged us and so we just left (again). Really kept trying to give The Barn the benefit of the doubt as service used to be great as did the food. However, there doesn’t seem to be much organisation any more and it’s just luck as to whether you get served. Very disappointed.

We love The Barn Cafe! My family and I would often come here for Breakfast, Brunch, Lunch or just for Coffee & Cake! We’ve always loved it! Now, as well as coming with family, I also bring friends here for a spot of lunch and a meander round. Between the food, the ambience and the politeness and friendliness of all staff - you won’t leave disappointed! The price can vary, however - the price of the food in comparison to just how perfect everything is, both tastebud wise and how it is presented, is very justified - in my opinion. All round incredible!! It’s always advisable to book if you can, as especially in the holidays it can be very busy - their Sunday Roasts are also extremely popular, and well worth booking!! I promise, you’ll never be disappointed!!
