Service was excellent. The food delicious and generally goid value for money. The atmosphere is so much better, you can hear each other now. Chairs are a bit hard.

Have met friends here many times over the last few years but we were all disappointed with the lunch menu this time. Expensive and poor choice

Lovely food, lovely staff, wonderful setting. My second visit in two weeks both times couldn't fault it! Thank you

Very warm welcome from the restaurant reception when we arrived. We were shown to a nice table in a very busy main restaurant area. Menu for breakfast had the usual choices ( nothing different from most cafe breakfast menus) 2 guests ordered the Barn breakfast (full English) 1 guest orderd Cacloe peppers eggs and salmon I ordered a round of white toast. Our drinks arrived very fast with a small waist for our breakfasts which was expected as the restaurant was very busy. The main restaurant area was very bright, spacious, clean and tidy. Unfortunately the 2 Barn breakfast were very disappointing ( bacon, black pudding & bubble disc were all very over cooked, dry and cold. Possibly from being left under a heat lamp or tray too long) One breakfast was missing its bubble. The salmon choice was nice with a good amount of smoked salmon. The 1 round of toast was fine (can't really go wrong. Delicious choice of Stokes condiments. Whilst we paid at the counter, we were asked if everything was OK. We gave an honest opinion and the girl just shrugged her shoulders to our constructive criticism. Over all 5/10 Not sure if we'd rush back for breakfast

Food was absolutely amazing but we waited 50mins after being seated with a booked reservation for our food. That was the disappointment outside of a lovely food.

My first visit- pleasant venue, pleasant staff, nice table, not too noisy. Food was very nice and prices reasonable. However we waited half an hour for our order to be taken and a very long time for our food. No one took our plates away or offered desserts or coffee and we gave up on our plan to have desserts and just had coffees and left.
