A great restaurant! Lovely atmosphere, attentive staff and tasty food. Vegan or not, it's worth checking out.

I’d heard lovely things about this cafe. Unfortunately we didn’t have a great visit, staff were incredibly rude and unwelcoming. We waited for 20 minutes for someone to take our order and were then told we couldn’t have breakfast and had to wait 30 minutes for lunch. Wrong coffee order and food was poor, small portions and expensive. Such a shame as the venue is lovely.

My wife and I went for a breakfast yesterday and were blown away by the standard of food and the amount. Absolutely amazing plus the staff were pleasant without being overbearing. A completely fantastic experience and would 120% recommend this establishment. 11/10.

A lovely place to meet and eat. I’ve been coming here for ages and the staff are friendly and food’s always good. Brontë always gets me my favourite table too!

Great experience with nice surroundings, good service and good food.

Great lunch. Yummy food and helpful, friendly staff. They were really good with accommodating a high chair and pram. There’s baby changing facilities.

Saturday Evening. Very busy and advised food could take 45mins. Drinks arrived promptly and starter soon after. main course was 30mins waiting so better than advised. Food as expected. Portions large and we couldn't all clear our plates. Deserts and milkshakes excellent.

Went with my son for mothers day, excellent lunch, beef beautiful and fresh veg. Calorie laden dessert, diet tomorrow! Been before, never disappointed.

Great breakfast and lovely atmosphere, great discovery, just have to remember to book!

Always worth a visit...best cakes and friendly welcoming atmosphere

The food was delicious shame we had to wait 45 minutes for it but they were busy and always kept us informed when it will arrive

Another great breakfast with great service. Have been going to the Barn for the last 5 years and is consistently very very good

Excellent breakfast here as usual . The veggie breakfast is excellent as are the American pancakes . My friend , my daughter and I are always made to feel very welcome and the service is really excellent . Can’t ge faulted

This is the biggest menu (s) I’ve seen stoked do and it doesn’t disappoint ! Love the staff, atmos as well as the food !! Thankyou stoked !!

I have never paid some much for so little! Really disappointed, there were so many aspects to the evening that added up to a poor experience for me and several other of the diners in our party of 6. Positives, the wine as excellent, the guy serving us went out of his way to make the evening ok and deal with issues we raised. Starter was interesting and tasty and the chips I tried were lovely, shame I ordered the jambalaya! I have had great food from the mobile at a festival, which encouraged me to take my wife for her birthday.

Two cousins enjoying a good catch up and a lovely lunch. The fish and chips were delicious. The restaurant was busy with other happy diners. The staff were friendly and we were greeted and served with happy smiling faces. Great place to eat. Thank you to everyone at The Barn.

A great lunch time experience. Food and service great, and a friendly team welcomed us with both Grace and Chantelle being attentive to all our needs. The diner has a great atmosphere will come back. Thank you.

The food just seems to get even better. The staff are wonderfully helpful, cheerful and endlessly patient.
