We go most weeks food always good and service one of the best garden centre restaurants

Always 5*

First time eating here, booked a table online, would eat here again as food was good and nice atmosphere. I ordered the Buddha bowl with salmon, although it was nice small portion for the money.

Another excellent lunch. Good friendly service. The shop full of delights clothing and giftware. Will be back again.

Always worth a visit warm welcome excellent cakes and breakfast been visiting for years visit regularly always enjoyable

Been coming here regularly, but very disappointed to find they are to remain cashless. Two of us had the Buddha bowl and added smoked salmon, but the portion was very small and really not worth the money.

Visited with friend and both had a lovely artisan tapas board. Well presented, good proportions, fresh & tasty. Service was good and not at all rushed. Lovely place to meet friends for lunch. Only issue was doors were open and I felt a little chilly but it might just ha e been me or where I was sitting.

Lovely place to meet up with friends, cakes were good, service was quick.

Had Sunday Lunch on 10th October The Food quality was excellent very high standard, produce was outstanding. Compliments to the chefs. Also the service from the staff as always was outstanding even though the restaurant was very busy Thank you all so much

Really nice decor and the food was lovely. The cocktails were disappointing, and a wine list wasn't offered as standard, which is a shame. This bar would be better sticking to the classic cocktails as their own inventions aren't the best. The food was great though, we shared some starters and sides.

Visited Sunday morning for breakfast with a good friend and food was delicious. Freshly made and lovely portions. Staff are friendly. Second cups of coffee was slow but hardly surprising as they were super busy. Definitely my favourite place to visit. Cakes are divine too

This was our third visit to The Barn for breakfast and each time has been great! We are always greeted in a friendly manner and the service throughout has been excellent. The food is delicious and it's a lovely atmosphere to enjoy a relaxing breakfast.

Lovely place for lunch/coffee/cake, varied menu and good quality food

This venue is an absolute winner.We have enjoyed a lovely lunch on two occasions ,delicious food. Restaurant staff are so very pleasant and professional and we were given a delightful welcome .All Covid requirements in place and everywhere is spick and span.Sparkling loos! There is a shopping opportunity of carefully curated pieces also a good selection of plants in the nursery. Can’t wait to see the Christmas items.Thoroughly recommend.

Absolutely wonderful food and good choice on menu or specials. Service really good with a lovely clean setting. We are regulars!

Lovely breakfast! Really good quality food and not greasy at all. Super yummy and would return. Only complaint was that my friend asked to swap a sausage for extra bacon and that wasn't allowed - bit weird?! I've never been anywhere where you can't swap a few items.

Excellent start to finish….” We’ll be back” ….soon
