Fab food as always

Wonderful lunch as always. Tasty food & great service. Thank you

As always food excellent ,service friendly and efficient, never had a complaint and use your restaurant on many occasions. Plant staff also very good.

Make sure you book before you go as it is extremely popular. Breakfast food was fantastic, great that vegans and gluten free diners are catered for. Staff were very welcoming and efficient. Will be trying lunch there as well !

Fantastic fish and chips! Three times over… plates cleared each of us said best we’ve eaten in a long time.

We booked this for our son’s birthday. Unfortunately we experienced poor service and our plates were not cleared from the table at all. We also found the majority of food to be exceedingly salty, so salty that anlot of the dishes we couldn’t taste the difference and didn’t feel able to enjoy our time as we had wished at the restaurant. We have been regulars for years and contributed to the restaurant as customers many times.

A great meal once again - lots of variety of dishes and all 10/10. A great atmosphere and super service. some good wine options too. We'll be back!

My husband and I came for a Valentine’s brunch and enjoyed excellent food from the breakfast menu. Staff were very attentive and my breakfast was beautifully presented as was my husband’s eggs florentine. How do your poached eggs come out so perfectly? I didn’t want baked beans but was able to swap them for an extra egg which was great.

We had steaks which were cooked perfectly and tasted delicious. The service was good too.

We go to the Barn quite often and always enjoy our visit. This time the restaurant was very busy so the service was a little slow, but under the circumstances understandable, however, the food was very good and the staff are very friendly and helpful.

We couldn't fault this friendly, welcoming pub and restaurant. We went for a Valentine's Day lunch with our greyhound, and were all made to feel very welcome. Nothing was too much trouble, the food was lovely and very reasonable (we had a buy one, get one free offer which was generously applied even though it was Valentine's Day). A great experience, thank you.

The food was awesome. Came to celebrate hubby’s birthday and we all enjoyed it so much h. Prices also reasonable. Only downside is staff being so miserable, no smiles just gloomy all round. But in as much as the food wa a great we had a good time. Would be good to teach staff customer service and positivity at work

Hello, I’ve been twice in the last 2 weeks for breakfast and on both occasions the food has been hot & delicious. Ladies are always very accommodating when I request certain seating & no matter how busy they are always polite.

Lovely atmosphere, warm & cozy . Food was hot ,beautifully presented tasty with lots of fresh vegetables. Waitress was attentive. Although they were busy checked us frequently. Would recommend.

Had a lovely Sunday Roast, food tasted great and there was certainly plenty of it. Good service and nice atmosphere.

Lovely food served here, had an amazing roast dinner with my family. Could NOT fault the service, staff, or food. the Restaurant has a lovely ambiance and very cosy. Will definitely be eating here again, would 10/10 recommend.

Myself and my husband had a lovely lunch on Sunday 9th February. My husband had the open club sandwich with a side of chips, I had the Vegetarian Roast. I chose this as I do not eat solid Beef, pork or lamb, but would have chosen chicken or Turkey if that had been on the menu. So, although the lunch was absolutely delicious, one of either of the above choices would have been nice as well.

Great meal, friendly staff, good food will definitely be back
