Small but cosy,great staff,food fantastic, at last !decent veggie/ vegan food full of flavour ,not another veggie lasagne in sight!Took my meat eating Yorkshireman partner with me,big thumbs up,definitely be returning

Had a lovely breakfast here , the staff were very attentive…..can’t ask for more.

Lovely place to sit and catch up with friends and the service is brilliant. But the last two times I’ve visited we’ve been really disappointed with the food. Yesterday we had toasted Brie ciabatta. It was like eating a jam sandwich!!!! Could hardly find any Brie! Just the tiniest slither. We did mention this and we were only charged for one instead of two. The week before we had mushroom bruschetta which was ok but more like a starter than a main meal and very expensive at £11.95. Other meals I’ve had have been lovely but these last two visits have sadly been a disappointment.

Always a lovely meal at Grumpys. Service fab, food and drink fab. Whole experience was fab.

Had a wonderful lunch here yesterday. The service was first class the the food absolutely delicious. Would highly recommend a visit

When friends say "let's brunch" my go to is always The Barn Cafe. You need to book for good reasons...it's a lovely place to sit and catch up. The menu has good variety, the cakes are fresh and delish, the breakfasts use great quality tasting ingredients. On top of all that the staff are fabulous. Please remember to take cash to thank the staff. Enjoy!

Lovely meal glad the menu changed since we last went. Only problem was it was extremely cold in there, we were on table one and the drought when the doors kept opening was dreadful. Just make sure when I book again I ask for a table nearer the inside.

Quick friendly service with attentive and welcoming waitress. I had the Buddha bowl and my friend the omelette. Both were delicious, nicely presented and fresh on the plate. The crispy kale in the Buddha bowl was so tasty. Really enjoyed our meal. I come regularly and always recommend the Barn Cafe to others.

This remains one of my favourite places to go. Friendly and helpful staff and the food is always well prepared, presented and best of all tasty! Would really recommend.

Was suggested to visit and glad I took the recommendation. Service and food was fantastic. Not to mention I am a coffee snob and it was perfectly made. Thank you and look forward to future visits as some beautiful cakes on display that I need to try

Although a busy Saturday lunchtime, my friend and I had a delicious meal. The usual wait as it was freshly prepared but time to chat over a drink first. Don't mind waiting for food but drinks service could be improved upon.

Lovely meal with great service and atmosphere- I'll be back!

Really lovely food ,atmosphere, staff and lots of plants and other things to look at before or after your meal. Well worth a visit.

Great quality food Nice atmosphere and decor Little bit chilly today But all in all good experience Slightly pricey

Food was was lovely. It was very noisy, this would not stop me going back though.

5 star!

The food was great as usual, The atmosphere was fine and everything gave good value for money . The only cloud was the service. Once our drinks were served everything slowed down. I accept that it was busy , and the main course arrived after just over half an hour. However it took ages for our plates to be cleared, and I eventually had to ask a waitress to get us coffee having abandoned any thoughts of sweets. We had the impression that we were being avoided by some staff who seemed well trained in not catching the eye of customers.

Great service & lovely food as usual.
