I had a meal for my sons 21st. They were accommodating with letting me put up banners and balloons. There were 12 in the party. We only had a choice of one menu as we were a large number. But the quality of food was good. Service was good.

Perfect setting, great quality food and excellent service!

Tasty food, lovely thoughtful staff. Highly recommend ❤️

Really lovely food, although disappointed there was no kebab and chocolate fountain not working, also the mens toilets are terrible very dirty and floors filthy. We will visit again but not in a hurry.

Alway enjoy our visits very welcoming and good excellent

Loved our lunch at the Barn, always look forward to going there for lunch and then having a look around the garden centre . Friendly staff and great food.

I've NEVER had a bad meal at Stoked and even as a meat eater, I can safely say that it's my favourite place to eat in the area. The atmosphere is always professional but friendly and food always on point. My wife and I always leave full and with smiles on our faces. If you haven't been, you owe it to yourself to give Stoked a try!

Excellent vegan barbecue food. I am a lifelong vegetarian, my wife is a meat eater, and we both love it. We have been three times now and it has been delicious every time. Highly recommended.

You know when the name of company keeps cropping up on your bank statements that you know you are onto a good thing. We always look forward to our visit to the Barn even if just for a wander around the plant section. Taking our neighbours for breakfast on Sunday and enjoying great food with great friendly service just makes you want to return. The staff are always attentive and we even manage to have a laugh together which hopefully makes their working day enjoyable as well. Looking forward to our next visit. Thanks all Davi & Rachel

Sunday lunchtime visit to celebrate special anniversary. My request for quieter table location was kindly met, despite it being a busy service. Great menu choices, we opted for the roast turkey, which was perfectly cooked and served, with very generous vegetable portions. All the staff were extremely polite, friendly and efficient. In fact everything about our whole visit was impeccable! We were absolutely delighted, thank you very much.

Usually enjoy any meals we have here but unfortunately this weekend was not one of them. No choice of roast only beef left & then roasts ran out for any other customers!Our dinners were not hot enough with hard to cut roast potatoes & an unusually dark gravy that tasted of marmite! Definitely not up to The Barns usual standards! Service there seems to take a lot longer nowadays too!

Great food and service. The waitresses and counter staff were very attentive, friendly and professional. Thank you

Greeted with a big smile, the food was exceptional and we were made to feel really welcome!! Definitely going back for more ☺️

This a my first visit to the Barn Garden Centre and it was charmed. It is an excellent place - plants in very good condition, tasteful items of homeware and cards and a large cafe area. The service and food delivery was slow so allow time for that, but the coffee and scones were delicious. We had a window seat and eye-level view of the butterflies on the verbena outside. A very nice visit - would recommend.

I’m afraid wasn’t great tbh food was mediocre , service was good but food really want up to scratc

Another fabulous visit to The Barn Cafe! This is now my place of choice for breakfast or lunch when going out with friends. The food and service never disappoint. The staff are friendly and so helpful :)) can’t wait to go back - now who can I invite along this time? :))

I booked a table for Sunday morning as it was my wife's birthday. Excellent food, using quality ingredients, and excellent very friendly service. I would always recommend it, plus the opportunity after to look around.
