I always enjoy a visit to the Barn and Brunch or Lunch is a real treat. Great service and good food! Would highly recommend.

My family and I had a Sunday lunch at The Barn which we all very much enjoyed. Great service and enjoyed sitting in the outside section, next to the shop which had a lovely atmosphere. We’ve also separately had tea and cake here a few weeks ago which we loved too!

We regularly visit TheBarn, the food is consistently of good quality and the staff always attentive. Would definitely recommend.

Cannot fault the service or the food My friend had the toasted t cake as I recommended but for the first time I went for the bacon butty- lovely fresh granary bread which was full of very flavoursome bacon- definitely to be repeated We were sat at a table within the shop rather than in the main restaurant which at times can get noisy & busy so prefer the quieter atmosphere of the smaller area Lovely way to spend Sunday morning!

Delicious fresh food and lovely staff.

We both had the king prawn Marie rose open sandwich which was nice but really could do with more prawns especially at £13.95. I’m a regular visitor as I love the garden centre and the cafe has a lovely atmosphere and very good staff. It might be nice to have a normal sandwich on the menu sometime not open ones.

Excellent friendly service and the Sunday Roast was excellent, amazing Yorkshire Puds and plenty of tasty vegetables, especially the Potatoes. ( Meat was excellent and the Vegetarian option also excellent ) You can tell this was cooked by a Chef and not a microwave ! Will be back.

Such friendly and capable staff and the roast pork was to die for - such wonderful flavours and cooked to perfection. I shall certainly be going back.
