Fantastic food, service & ambience
Christine
Lunch with the GD. Had to wait for the RM to return but she was working at the cash desk inside on a busy Sat lunch service. Very friendly greeting. Had to ask for the Children's menu, I had the Quiche special. It was ok but a bit bland. Too many potatoes for me but tasty , small dressed salad which was ok. Good selection of drinks. Very busy but service was good and pleasant . Noisy as little to absorb the sound. Think I won't go for lunch again but at breakfast time it is great especially if you can sit outside.

Really lovely lunch to celebrate our son getting married in Australia!! Buddha bowl minus the avocado and dressing was just perfect! The tart was lovely too and our cakes very yummy! X

Had a lovely lunch! The food was really tasty, the cakes looked amazing but we didn’t have room for more. We weren’t hurried at all and we sat and chatted for two hours!! Thank you The staff were very friendly too. I will definitely be back

As always, we had a great experience at The Barn Cafe. The breakfast was excellent and it was hard to choose from such a varied and interesting menu. Can't wait to visit again soon.

Food has always been good although overpriced. Unfortunately today we felt the food was extremely overpriced. Buddha bowl with chicken £20 and im sure theses bowls have got smaller, not a substantial portion. The garden salad really was a joke, it came on what I would describe as a slightly larger than average side plate and the salad certainly didn't fill it. With the feta cheese it was £17.50 for a basic salad that would have made a large starters!

We always enjoy our visit to the Barn Cafe. The Barn Breakfast was absolutely delicious and can highly recommend. Service can be a bit slow but we’re never in a rush. However we haven’t been for a month or so and the service had definitely improved

As per usual on a very busy Sunday morning the service was excellent with polite members of staff. The food was up to its highest standards and quite swift even though it was busy. A very pleasant morning. Thanks.
