3 friends having brunch together. We sat outside undercover in the new to us area. The service was slow but only because they were so busy...a testament to them..we didn't mind. The 3 ladies we were looked after by were all very smiley and personable. My granary bacon sarnie with fat removed and ketchup was a real treat. The others had avocado and poached egg on granary. Empty plates returned. The Barn is a great destination for food, relaxation, browsing an excellent choice of plants and more.

Great Sunday lunch We all had the lamb which was cooked lovely. Good pint of Guinness and the ladies had lovely Aperol spritz Sarah, our waitress, was brilliant at her job. Nothing was too much trouble

Lovely food and the roasts are really good. Always my go to place. Would highly recommend.

Great google find, superb food, great service and lovely decor, will definitely be back.

Always a treat to visit, food, service and staff wonderful. Can never fault anything. Food is fresh, beautifully presented and always very delicious. Thank you

Lovely food and atmosphere, great we could bring the dog as we had travelled to see our son. Our waitress was so lovely and we’ll be back on the strength of her alone!

This has turned out to be our favourite garden centre and the cafe here is just amazing! The Sunday roast in particular is highly recommended. Lovely attentive staff who always seem happy and are always very helpful. The chef and pastry chef are excellent - better than most restaurants. Looking forward to returning soon

Great food, great service and lovely evening. Thoroughly recommend.

Great food, friendly Service and amazing ambiance. Thoroughly enjoyed our evening ending meal at The Owl. We would definitely go there again

We haven’t been to the Barn for quite a while… We were delighted by the service and the meals we and our 3 friends had were all very good….as were the cakes! Thank you for a lovely experience.

This is my son’s favourite restaurant, and what makes it great is the staff. They clearly really love children, and really engage with with them so well. I’m also so pleased to finally see a salad menu- thank you so much for this

I had a meet up with my sister and my cousins. We had a really enjoyable time together and the ford was good.

We had a great family dinner at The Owl. The service was exceptional and it was great value for money.

I have been going in there for about 40 years. I have never had a bad meal there, I have always had good service there, and other than when I was in my ill-disciplined youth, and considered onion bhajis to be missiles after a skinful, I have been quite well behaved too. Try it.

Lovely food and service Friendly staff Enjoyed our lunch with you

Little bit on the warm side but the food was amazing

Food as always great, staff friendly and efficient,, atmosphere relaxed. Look forward to my next visit.
