I’d booked a table For 10:30am for 4 people . It was mine and two others first visit on recommendation of my daughter who had been before. She was with us also. The breakfast was lovely. 3 of us had the eggs and avocado on sourdough and then one smoked salmon and scrambled eggs also on sourdough. My mum said the scrambled eggs were a little on the cooler side but was too hungry to ask for another one! The flavours of the avocado were incredible. It was a party in my mouth! The poached eggs were perfection. I would highly recommend this dish. The staff were friendly and polite. My only complaint would be the knives. I know that’s a bit random but we all struggled to cut our sourdough toast due to the bluntness of the knives! We will definitely visit again

Great friendly staff!! Food always being topped up.. only downfall is the toilets was not clean at all Would definitely come back

I always enjoy a visit to the Barn and Brunch or Lunch is a real treat. Great service and good food! Would highly recommend.

My family and I had a Sunday lunch at The Barn which we all very much enjoyed. Great service and enjoyed sitting in the outside section, next to the shop which had a lovely atmosphere. We’ve also separately had tea and cake here a few weeks ago which we loved too!

We regularly visit TheBarn, the food is consistently of good quality and the staff always attentive. Would definitely recommend.

Cannot fault the service or the food My friend had the toasted t cake as I recommended but for the first time I went for the bacon butty- lovely fresh granary bread which was full of very flavoursome bacon- definitely to be repeated We were sat at a table within the shop rather than in the main restaurant which at times can get noisy & busy so prefer the quieter atmosphere of the smaller area Lovely way to spend Sunday morning!

Delicious fresh food and lovely staff.

Met up with some friends. There was a large selection (& prices) of food. The atmosphere was great. Staff were very attentive and the food was cooked to perfection. Highly recommend.

Food was under cookee Toilet was disusting. Dessert choices was crap. Cost over 100 pound for 2 adults and 3 children. Will not be returning

Love everything about this place. Been three times in about the last 6 weeks. The food and service are consistently good. The Scallops starter is delicious. Two for one burgers on a Thursday is an absolute bargain. The atmosphere is buzzing with drinkers and diners all having a marvellous time…we’re just sorry we don’t live in Broad Oak!

Great service. Friendly staff. Got a discount as I am a blue light card holder (just show proof of your card for 10% off) Ok selection of food for the price you pay. Clean tidy environment. Attentive staff around clearing plates or changing food when low.

We both had the king prawn Marie rose open sandwich which was nice but really could do with more prawns especially at £13.95. I’m a regular visitor as I love the garden centre and the cafe has a lovely atmosphere and very good staff. It might be nice to have a normal sandwich on the menu sometime not open ones.

Had a lovely meal on Monday. Food and service was excellent

Another lovely lunch at this great cafe. Food, drinks & service were all excellent

Excellent friendly service and the Sunday Roast was excellent, amazing Yorkshire Puds and plenty of tasty vegetables, especially the Potatoes. ( Meat was excellent and the Vegetarian option also excellent ) You can tell this was cooked by a Chef and not a microwave ! Will be back.
