Very good visit as usual, coffee excellent, as was rest of our meals. Would come again anytime I'm nearby, as dont live locally.

Prompt service and lovely food . Had emailed to say it was my friends birthday and she was gluten free ! No greeting to her or gluten sausages ? Extra bacon offered but still disappointing after advance information .

Lovely cafe, really buzzy for a Monday, food was fabulous and service was excellent - will I return? Definitely

Lovely lunch as always. Never disappointed lovely choices and cakes. Coffee is also good. Booked for next month. X

Visited for brunch on Sunday morning & was fantastic! The setting is gorgeous, service friendly & fantastic and above all the food was divine

We arrived early at the restaurant. We were greeted with a lovely welcome. We explained we were early but was told we could sit straight down. The waitresses were efficient. The drinks arrived immediately. Our food arrived shortly afterwards. The meal was hot and delicious. We would certainly make another booking soon. Excellent customer service.

Lovely food and lovely atmosphere. I’ve been a here a few time for food as they do great deals in the week. The Sunday roast was lovely although the wait was a little longer than expected on our recent visit… but worth the wait !

Good service & good food.

Four Sunday lunches and four clean plates. Tasty, plentiful, hot and well presented. Followed by four delicious desserts. Happy customers who would definitely recommend- already have! We will return, thank you

We came for my sons birthday, food was nice, unfortunately we were disturbed as we was trying to eat when members of staff brought a huge dirty bin pass our table, assuming it was left over food, not very nice when your trying to eat. Then several members of staff was then left to clear all the spillage up that was all over the floor again this was done directly behind us whilst we was trying to eat

Excellent food and very friendly and helpful service

Lovely roast this Sunday beef and turkey was delicious and plentiful. Lovely Yorkshire too and plenty of nice vegetables. Asked for extra gravy which was no problem. Such a lovely welcoming pub with a great atmosphere and the service was efficient and friendly. Very reasonable price for excellent food and delicious desserts.

Booked table for 8, 3 being children. Food was lovely and staff we friendly polite and helpful. Done large and small full English which was good. Only suggestion I would have is maybe do a child’s size as our kids aren’t big eaters. Beautiful place will dry return.

Food as good as always. Service improved with more staff waiting tables. Will remain a regular customer.

I have been coming to the restaurant for years - Breakfast and lunch. It just keeps getting better and better! Staff are always welcome and polite

Had lunch with a friend to celebrate her birthday. It was very busy and the service quick considering. I am very conscious of what I eat and I love that they offer very healthy options that taste delicious. Everyone is so friendly and helpful

Visited for the first time yesterday. The restaurant is so pretty with fairy lights and lovely lighting. It is quite noisy in the main restaurant but I didn’t mind that, though anyone with hearing difficulties may want to request the smaller section near the shop floor which was much quieter. We did have an hours wait for our food to arrive but it was very busy (1300 on a Saturday) and Simon who served us was very nice. Will definitely return and highly recommend.

We love The Barn for breakfast. Atmosphere and comfort is really good plus quality of food. Just a minor hint to the Barn our butter for the toast is nearly always delivered as liquid and not enjoyable.
