Barnards in Winchester - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Once again amazing service even though we were a little late due to over sleeping. The staff are so helpful and friendly full English with extra black pudding, poached eggs were cooked to perfection. I have the Veggie stack which has the best tasting halloumi I've tasted. Lovely local family business would highly recommend you book. (Booking on a Saturday is definitely needed.) Although they will fit you in if they can.

It’s our second brekkie visit here and have to concur with some of the other reviews saying portions are a bit small. It’s ok if you don’t have a big appetite but my family are hearty eaters. Having said that the ingredients are top notch - lovely smoked bacon, very good sausage — all tasty. I suspect they won’t change anything regarding portion size as the restaurant seems to be busy regardless.

Enjoyed our breakfast here food was nicely cooked, hot and prices are fair. Service spot on as well. We sat in the front near the road although they gave a lovely little secluded garden at the back which looked nice.

My friend and I enjoyed a delicious afternoon tea with impeccable service. Lovely homemade food, will definitely be back! Thank you!

Four of us made a visit to Barnards for breakfast. This was my first ever visit so prior to the day I had a quick look at there breakfast menu online. It was soon clear that this was not the cheapest place around. However, on the day I was pleasantly surprised. I chose to have the full English breakfast. Full plate of food,nicely presented and piping hot. I decided that although this would not probably be a regular visit it was nevertheless probably worth the money. I would certainly recommend this restaurant.

This cafe is so welcoming! The staff were fantastic, extremely friendly and accommodating. I visited by myself for a coffee and cake and felt very comfortable there. They also have thorough Covid measures to ensure everyone is safe. Would highly recommend and visit again!

Went in there this morning. Had a full english breakfast. It was a lovely meal, food was nice and hot and the drinks were nice as well. Lovely atmosphere and nice friendly staff. Highly recommend this restaurant.

I was out on a cycle ride with a friend and stopped for a cuppa. Great attention to detail and friendly service. Good coffee too. Served outside at the patio tables.

it is a takeaway at the moment due to the coronavirus the takeaway was beautifully presented with lemon, tartar sauce and napkin.

Called in for breakfast. Good selection of hot food offered on the menu and prepared to order. Staff very friendly and accommodated my wife’s dietary (vegan) needs. Food was hot and well presented. Good Selection of coffees and teas, an all round enjoyable experience and we would return again.

Nice cream tea with a good pot of tea. Pleasant surroundings, nice service and tasty scones served on a three tier plate

I have had several visits to Barnards with friends for breakfasts. The food never fails to disappoint and the staff are lovely! It’s not the cheapest food, but you get what you pay for and the quality is superb. There is plenty of seating and an outside garden, which is pretty. There is a free car park just a few minutes walk away. Looking forward to my next visit!

Visited for breakfast and were surprised by the price per item being at 1.20 for one (one egg). Service was good but too many staff witch probably puts the price up. Would only recommend for coffee

Barnards friendly staff made us all very welcome despite numbers being down and then up with late arrivals. Most of us had breakfast and dishes with holondaise sauce were very popular with sauce on the side for some. There were delicious bacon and egg rolls while others opted for coffee and brownie. Very good value. Delicious food,

Took my mother in law for a birthday lunch. Our food was lovely, fish and chips and the cheese souffle were both really tasty. Service was warm and friendly and there is a lovely garden at the back. Will definitely be going back.

Lovely lunch, light but filling, at a good price and served very quickly and with the utmost politeness.

A long time favourite of mine and my husbands, we had a really tasty lunch here. We both went for the fish and chips although I had the smaller plate which was more than ample. The fish was nice and meaty with a crispy and light batter, the chips were tasty and the atmosphere in general is warm and cosy. Never make it to pudding unfortunately although usually (but not on this occasion) we take a slice of cake home for later!

Éramos un grupo de 12 de nuestra clase de ejercicios. El menú del desayuno es excelente, con mucha variedad. Teníamos salmón ahumado y huevos revueltos que era absolutamente perfecto. Otros comieron huevos benedictinos con tostadas, tocino y aguacate y un muy buen desayuno inglés completo.

My wife and I popped in on the offchance of grabbing a breakfast. We were not disappointed. Thier vegetarian breakfast was delicious. My wife had veggie eggs Benedict which she loved! We will definitely be returning.

Disfrutamos de un excelente almuerzo en este restaurante muy agradable y fantástico. Había buenas opciones de entrantes, platos principales y postres, y elegí gambas y ensalada de aguacate como entrante seguido de salchichas de cerdo y verduras que estaban deliciosas. (Hay porciones pequeñas para algunos de los principales). No pude tomar un postre completo, pero opté por un café y un mini postre de sorbete. El personal es muy amable, servicial y eficiente. Recomiendo encarecidamente reservar una mesa para evitar decepciones.

What a fabulous place this is. Never disappoints. Staff are always helpful and friendly. They tailor the menu to your needs with a great variety. A must visit.

Another lovely breakfast, served hot and quickly, very tasty and tailored exactly to the customer's desires - they even do black pudding!

Siempre estoy buscando un lugar digno para parar a tomar algo ligero y capuchino cuando estoy en un paseo en moto y me encuentro con Barnard mientras paso por Denmead.

For several years Barnards Restaurant has catered primarily for breakfast, lunch and afternoon teas and now only opens for evening meals on two nights per week. There is seating indoors, in the rear garden and at the front of the restaurant for those who want to keep an eye on village life. Although able to cater for many customers, booking is recommended for larger parties. Menu choice is good and individual tastes can be catered for given a couple of days notice. Staff are friendly and helpful and the service is excellent. It is possible to get a cheaper meal elsewhere but quality has to be paid for albeit prices are not excessive. Although there is no dedicated car park, there is plenty of parking available within a short distance.

Had a table in the pretty rear garden, smoked haddock omelette was excellent as was the rhubarb crumble all washed down with a nice Pinot Grigio. Lovely summers day lunch. Excellent food and service. Well Done to you all!

Arranged my Mother's Birthday Dinner here(18 people).The food is well presented & cooked.The staff are more than polite & helpful.The establishment is cosy with a good ambience. At the rear is a small seated garden suitable for hot food/snacks or just coffee & cake. To the front is a seated area set back from the main road also suitable for the above. Will definitely return.

Enjoyed meeting old friends for lunch at Barnards. Food is always tasty, and good choice. Always enjoy food here. Must try afternoon tea one day soon.

What a wonderful start to the day, breakfast in Barnards with friends

A friend wished to treat my wife and I to a weekday lunch and had made a reservation at Barnards, Denmead. The restaurant is in a line of shops and businesses that share a small car park. We were lucky enough to park our car about 40 yds from the restaurant.

Great help me cooked food served with a smile, we are very lucky to have this on our doorstop. A kids corner would be a great addition for day time, tucked in the corner somewhere.

An amazing breakfast at Barnards in Denmead - excellent food, service and ambience. However, the decor is rather cold looking and in my eye needs lifting.

All the food was really good, especially the fish and chips and the salmon dishes. The pudding and coffee combo offers a very small dessert and mine was tiny (two mouthfuls at the most) but overall the meal, customer service and experience was so good that we have booked for February. Cannot wait to taste the chips again.

First visit but was recommended by my brother's wife. Really good service, excellent coffee. Had eggs royal, very good. Menu was good, I liked the idea of building your own full English. Would revisit.

Lovely breakfast where you can make up your own cooked meal if you want and their fruit pancakes are delicious.The service is very good and the staff are very attentive.It’s a very popular venue and it’s worth booking a table if there are a few...

one hundred percent amazing food,service and very reasonably priced.they only open for evening meals on two nights friday and saturday,cheese souffle as starter yum yum,the pork belly main just melted in your mouth and the three deserts where so so good, its a must try.and...

My wife, 6-year-old son and 14-month-old daughter visited Barnard’s yesterday morning for a delightful breakfast - so many people have raved about how great this place is, and I’m a bit annoyed that we’ve lived in Denmead for over 2 years and this was the first time we visited! What a waste! Wish we’d been lots before, as you only live once! Highly recommended!

First time visit, really busy but excellent service' freshly cleaned tables, dirty plates taken away, friendly service and really tasty...

I love the breakfasts at Barnards. I'm so pleased they've decided to add this mealtime. Is there any chance of...

Excellent service & very tasty food served in this almost-hidden-away eaterie in the row of shops, opposite the church in Denmead. We've been several times now & are never disappointed. It's great for breakfast, lunch & evening meals. Staff are attentive, professional & friendly.

Bernard's in Denmead is an ideal place to stop off for a coffee and a read of the newspapers provided. I like a flat white and they certainly always make it to my liking. The staff are very welcoming . You do have a choice of inside or in the garden room . I hVe not eaten recently but all of my friends speak very highly of the menu and quality of the food.

We are regular visitors to Barnards - particularly for Saturday brunch/lunch. The food is all freshly cooked and never disappoints. There is a great selection on the menu catering to all tastes. Our young daughter always comes along and the staff cater so well for her. Service really is excellent.

Extremely enjoyable wedding anniversary meal with excellent food, wine and service. Starter was cheese souffle with lamb shank as main and trio for dessert.

Dads birthday so we booked here instead of having to traipse into Portsmouth.Can honestly say - one of the best restaurants I've ever visited (and I've been to few, here and back home in Australia!). We were greeted very warmly, seared exceptionally quickly (dinner from 6.30pm). Weather was stunning so we sat in the back yard. Restaurant staff were really lovely but not overly pushy, which can put people off.The food....one word, AMAZING!!! Starter was the cheese soufflé, main was the Lamb and dessert coffee and small portion of a dessert of my choice. All absolutely outstanding.My Mum ordered the filet steak and although her favourite blue cheese sauce wasn't on the menu, our lovely hostess went to check with the chef - came back to our table to advise 'chef has some blue cheese so can make up the sauce fresh for you' - what service!!!!I cannot recommend this little piece of heaven enough. All served fresh and we'll worth the money.Thank you to all the staff and especially the chef who I believe was also responsible for the washing up

We treated our daughter to a birthday breakfast meal here this morning. Although they didn't have all the items we wanted on the menu, the menu was varied and reasonably priced. The food was clearly cooked fresh and was well presented. The service was very homely and welcoming. It would have been lovely to sit outside in the back garden had the weather been on our side.

My sister in law and husband are emigrating to Australia, so were on a farewell visit. As we live in Denmead, Barnards was an ideal venue. This lovely little restaurant doesn't need a review, it speaks for itself. Excellent service, perfectly cooked fillet steaks, as requested, two blue and two medium rare. Starters and desserts all excellent too. I love the coffee with a mini dessert, just enough. My husband usually indulges in the trio, but settled for the homemade chocolates this time. Yet again, a perfect meal. Thank you David and staff.

Went for an evening meal on Sat 1st April, a party on a table for 4Had an excellent meal with brilliant service from the regular staff. These are not temporary staff on casual hours but the regulars who are very experienced and know how to enhance your dining experience.I couldnt fault anything and whilst not cheap, this is an example of you get what you pay for and therefore delivers value for money.Will I resist ? Definitely.

We visited here on a Saturday Morning for breakfast, the place was very busy with locals as we are, doing the same. The breakfast was lovely a full English and a pot of tea, the staff are very helpful and friendly and the service good and attentive. They also offer cream teas and main meals etc, worth a visit.

I have visited with family for coffee and cake / waffles and the food was lovely .Another visit was with both daughters and 2 granddaughters for brunch the day before Mother's Day.Again food was great along with excellent,friendly service.The restaurant is also open for afternoon tea in the afternoons and dinner on 3 evenings a week.Having had an evening meal there several years ago which was very nice,I hadn't been there since and was pleasantly surprised at how it had developed into a very popular venue for breakfast and lunch at reasonable prices.

I recently attended a networking meeting here, and was very happy with the service and food. Delicious bacon sandwich on fresh white bloomer bread was served with tea. I've eaten breakfast here with family before and it has always been excellent, although slightly more expensive than other places.

We went there for breakfast on a Saturday morning. Lovely food and great service, They are very flexible and the food is tasty, freshly cooked and served by great staff

This is a charming little eatery and is also ideal if you just want coffee and cake.They do a cracking full English.In the summer they have a get pretty and quiet garden to the rear which I would definitely recommend.The staff are charming and they offer superb homemade mini biscuits with coffee which are get moreish.The most attractive thing about barnards is that it is not a Costa or one of the many overpriced coffee shops around.Their lunch menu is good and this is definately a place I would visit again.

We were looking for a nice Tea Room to visit as my wife works in one and likes to see what others have to offer. We were actually on the other side of town visiting Currys when my wife declared why don't we go to Barnards, To be honest I had worked over that way 6 months ago but had forgotten that we had peered through the window one Sunday. So off we went and parked in the Free Public Car Park opposite.On arrival we were greeted by a young lady who I asked if Breakfast was still being served, Bit of a long shot as it was 2.10pm she politely sais sorry no, But there is an open brunch sandwhich that consists of Toasted Crusty Bread with Bacon,Egg and Sausage. I was convinced and my wife had the Bacon & Brie Toastie. While we waited the drinks we had ordered came in good time. When the food arrived (quite quickly) it was well presented and mine came with a bowl of piping hot Saute potatoes that were really tasty as was my Brunch Open Sandwhich, I was asked if I wanted any sauce and being the heathen I am asked for Red, which to my surprise was Heinz.....My wife also enjoyed her toastie and Latte, Wwayhile we were eating our lunch about 15 people came over from the church opposite for takeaway coffees which the staff dealt with quite quickly and calmly.Once they had left our plates were cleared and I went up to the counter to look at the cakes and the Lady behind the counter said we have 2 more in the kitchen and quickly shot away to get them..We decided to share a piece of Carrot Cake and take one home for later as it looked so tasty and we wereruit in not disappointed, It was moist with a hint of raisins/sultanas and a large slice to boot...Overall a very pleasant Lunch well presented and tasty.

Since enjoying breakfasts so much at this restaurant we decided to book for lunch.What a good idea. The service was as good as usual and the menu was very comprehensive. I chose beer battered fish and chips. The batter was delicious and thefish inside excellent. My companion had the beef stroganoff. He was equally impressedbecause the meat was so tender and the all round flavours so flavoursome.All this after mussels as a starter. To finish there was cheese and biscuits. On the plate was a wonderful swan modelled in butter and also a cocolate made by the chef. Delicious!!All in all an excellent meal.However, when we return we must try the very appetising desserts. This restaurant is a really good find. I fully recommend it because of the excellentexperiences we have enjoyed there. It is really special because it is local to us and I hope to enjoy its delights as often for lunch as we now do for breakfast.

Enjoyed a nicely cooked lunch and cafetiere coffee in this very pleasant coffee house and restaurant. Had plaice in light crispy batter with chips, peas and tartare sauce, followed by a scrummy french apple tart with clotted cream. Two beautifully cooked courses with special coffee for under £20. The restaurant looks small but extends a long back. We were able to park in one of the two spaces outside but there is parking in the adjoining parade of shops.

Cosy little coffeebar/restaurant with choice from sandwiches to meals, including all day breakfast and teas. Nice atmosphere friendly staff good quality food

A group of friends went to Barnards last Saturday evening to celebrate a special friends 60th Birthday. There were over 20 of us it was a truly superb evening. We had each chosen our meal starter main and dessert in advance. Each course was delicious and beautifully presented and very importantly hot. The service was exceptional with lovely friendly staff who made sure the wine was continually topped up. A very happy and memorable evening. Would recommend Barnards for any occasion, you certainly will not be disappointed.

We have only lived in this area of Waterlooville, Hampshire for a short while, but havediscovered recently, a restaurant where we can go to for a delicious breakfast. So, wego there every Saturday and always start with porridge and honey followed by our choice of main dish. It is an excellent start to the day and the welcome we receive isheart warming.So, congratulations to the staff of Bernard's you have made our move to Hampshirea very rewarding one.

I meet friends here for coffee on a regular basis and the staff are always friendly and helpful and the coffee good! In the past I have had the breakfast too, which is excellent quality and well cooked and presented.There is a great atmosphere and a nice garden which we sat in this week as the weather was so good!

Went there with a party of 6, had a very tasty breakfast, lots of space to move, not over crowded.Food was great and then menu is only a guide, every option asked for was given. Good ingredients, cooked well, and not a cold item on the plate.Overall a perfect experience, we'll done team great job

What a fabulous breakfast, a little more than would normally pay, but so worth it for the food, service and fabulous setting......I've often driven past and wanted to go for dinner, but was told it's expensive.......Will definitely be there soon to try the evening cuisine , if breakfast was anything to go by it will be fabulous.

With the rest of the family went in for brunch and discovered this lovely shop. Freshly squeezed orange juice and the perfect full english (black pudding an additional option) set me up for the rest of the day.

We have dined at Barnards a number of times, it is a beautiful restaurant, lovely choice of food.Excellent quality and presentation of quality foods.Breakfasts, Afternoon tea, Lunch and Dinner.

Great quality food and excellent service. First dinner there for awhile and found that the quality is still excellent. Good sized portions with great flavour. Enjoyed a lamb rump that was cooked to perfection with a nice selection of vegetables. The trio of desserts was as good as always.

Went during week just after 2pm for late bite to eat with a girlfriend..So lunch menu had just finished.. We had however checked out the afternoon tea menu before going and both thought pricing was very good value for money.. So off for a walk up the village to Barnards we went. We both chose cream tea option and OMG fruit scones were delicious and warm. You also get a decent quantity of clotted cream and a little pot of jam (the pot I think is maybe a teeny bit too small compared to cream!) but saying that with the pot of tea enough for 2 cups for both of us just we couldn't eat both scones.. It's a hidden little treasure and don't think that many people realise it's open Tues - Sat for breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea.. It's a shame it's only open Fri & Sat evening from 6pm with last orders 8pm.. Maybe rethink these hours and prices. Evening meal menu looks a bit pricey.. Will have to give it a try and then leave another review,.Overall for lunch / afternoon tea I will be back and next time bringing the husband..

I visit this restaurant for breakfast/lunch once or twice a week and every time it is superb... Not once have I had a complaint. The staff are always friendly and the service is always fantastic. Great restaurant that I highly recommend!

Went on Bank Holiday Monday with two children (7 and 5) for breakfast. Staff seemed a little wary of having children, but gradually warmed up. Had two cooked breakfasts and two double portions of pancakes with drinks for less than £20. Everything done perfectly. Looks a little dated, but a good find.

I was not expecting a great deal when I went in for the first time but am now a regular customer. The brunch and breakfasts are fantastic and the coffee and cake combo is delicious. Deceptively large inside with plenty of seating. Definitely a must if your in the area and looking for food.

I will not lie. I love Barnards. I've eaten here dozens of times over the last 20+ years and the food, service, atmosphere and ambience are always fantastic without fail. I had my wedding reception here in 1997 and almost every Christmas since plus many visits on "non-special" occasions and have never been disappointed. The food is always fantastic and whilst your initial impression is that the portions are small you'll find that after three courses you can't move and maybe your eyes lied (but your belt never does!!) A cracking affordable wine list also helps. I can't wait for my next visit.

Group of eleven, including French visitors. As always, delicious food and excellent friendly service

We went to Barnards to celebrate my husbands birthday. We had the most lovely evening with friends. The relaxing atmosphere the attentive lovely polite staff and absolutely wonderful food made our evening very special. We will be returning strongly recommend. It was lovely to have Britsh food that was not covered and flavoured with extra ingredients. Perfect

A last minute decision to visit this fine establishment was a great decision , this quirky little restaurant offers delicious food and fine service ' we would definitely revisit

We decided to come here to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary. We are so glad we did. Very friendly staff who checked we were happy with our table and that the door to the garden was open. We were brought the wine list, menu, a jug of water and bread and were left to choose from the menu. We were not at all hurried and were able to enjoy a long romantic dinner without constant interruptions. We mentioned that it was our anniversary and the chefs sent out homemade chocolates on a decorated plate. A lovely touch. The food was beautifully cooked and well presented. The bill was very reasonable for what we had and we even got a friendly wave from the chef when we left. A lovely restaurant with excellent food and efficient and friendly staff. Thank you Barnards for making our anniversary so special.

My daughter had suggested Barnards for lunch. A rather fussy eater she had suggested breakfast which unfortunately we had missed. The staff went above and beyond by allowing her to have the dish she wanted even though it was not on the menu. Well done certainly be recommending your friendly restaurant to others.

Me and some friends have eaten here on a few occasions for breakfast.The staff here have been nice enough to accommodate us when we have turned up without a booking, which was every time!No tables have been available but the double couches have been and we were happy to sit there.The food, I would say is nothing to shout about, but then I spend much of my time trying new pop-up breakfast restaurants in London boroughs so may be a little spoilt. I think personally it's expensive here for what you get, the the staff are friendly enough and are always happy to help.

Have visited twice this year, once for lunch and then again for the dinner menu. Both times was met with good and friendly service, not too long wait times and food was very good both times. The duck with noodles was delicious, good portion sizes.

Very good value main meal rump steak and fries garlic mayonnaise and lettuce with a complimentary glass of wine for £10.99. Excellent value. Unfortunately the trio dessert for £8.99 was not so good value,the small lemon meringue pie looked nice but inside the lemon curd was completely runny. The second small dessert was meant to be a chocolate sundae, half of it was thick cream followed by liquid ice cream. The third mini dessert was panna cotta which was also melting but not as much as the other desserts, the Kirsch cherries where very strong ! It wasn't particularly busy so there was no need for melted desserts especially for their very small size for £3 pounds each was poor value for money, which was disappointing considering the main meal was excellent !The staff were courteous but lacked a smiling greeting which cost nothing especially when your in the hospitality industry.

As I pulled up and parked, my husband was sat outside enjoying a pot of tea in a nice area for people watching and car spotting. It was a little cold and windy that day so we moved inside and ordered our breakfast. The interior was a little boring and lacking in style but there was plenty of room between tables and the chairs were comfortable. Our order was quickly taken from a varied menu of breakfast items including Eggs Benedict (my husband's choice) and a list of hot breakfast items which made creating your own breakfast so simple. I selected poached eggs, bacon and grilled tomatoes.The food came quickly and was hot and delicious. The eggs were perfectly cooked and the bacon was very tasty. We ordered fruit juices which were fresh and a great latte which was hot and made with a smooth, rich coffee. We both really enjoyed our breakfast and will definitely be back soon. My husband has not stopped mentioning the gorgeous Swiss roll that sat on the counter calling his name.

Wow! What amazing food! Absolutely fabulous service! Didn't expect such lovely food in a village restaurant .SUPERB!!!!Look forward to a return visit very soon

Went on spec and was surprised how busy this was on a Thursday evening. However they fitted us in and so glad they did. Lamb rump was fantastic and my wife's cod was also superb. All round this was a lovely meal with an excellent starter of cheese souffle and very nice apple crumble tart for dessert. Not bad Irish coffee either and a nice Bantry Bay chenin. Can't wait to go again.

Had a nice evening there recently. Warm and friend, service. Mussels to start which were fabulous and lamb rump and fresh veg for main. Only down side was menu wasn't hugely varied but assume it changes with seasons

like it here very much,good value, for breakfast, & lunch, not been for yet, but enjoy breakfast in the garden

A small gathering of Family and Friends for the wake of my cousin Kathleen were treated to a lovely range of savories and cakes, tea and coffee, My request for Mint Tea was speedily answered. The atmosphere of the room soon got everyone talking and reminiscing about Kathleen. The staff were very attentive and helpful.

We held our annual Denmead twinning AGM followed by a meal at Barnards as we have done for several years. Each year I am amazed at how good the food is. keep going! A bit puzzled why it didn't come up when I keyed in Denmead restaurants?

I work locally in an office in Denmead, and every so often on a Friday we'll treat ourselves to a Bacon Sandwich from the Village.I'd only ever chosen the delicious range of pastries that Barnards sold and was always impressed at, not only how light they were but also that they arrived slightly warm (mmmmmmmm “delic”).A work colleague commented that the Sausages were a bit too lightly cooked for her taste. There was no way I wanted to dice with danger when it came to eating meat based products but I made my decision and went ahead anyway. I selected a wholemeal brown bread Sausage Sandwich and selected brown sauce as my garnish of choice.It arrived in a high quality cardboard container, with a little cup of HP carefully placed within.I took my first bite and marvelled at how soft the bread was, how delicious the sausages were, and how exactly the right amount of HP I had added to bind the whole thing together. With a Mug of Tea as its companion I settled in for the ride.At £3.50 IS IT more expensive than other similar products?Yes, it probably is. BUT. It was the high quality ingredients and civilised presentation that I appreciated, and for some people that's just a price worth paying.In summary I enjoyed my Sausage Sandwich from Barnards and have suffered no ill effects as a result.Would I buy another one?I think I’d probably try Bacon next – But that’s another review.

Barnards is long established restaurant in Denmead and is well known for its quality dinning and service.We went as a family of six on a Friday evening in mid December for a full evening meal and pre dinner drinks. Just a little shame they couldn't do a cocktail for one of our party, otherwise the drinks were all good with the Proseco nicely chilled.We all had lovely starters, Thai fish cakes, goats cheese salad and I had Roquefort and pear salad, all very beautiffuly presented.Our mains consisted of fillet of pork, corn fed chicken breast and I had the braised beef. I think that has to be the best beef meal I have ever had. Generous in size, not a scrap of fat and cooked to perfection. Yumm.Again, we all had desserts to finish, most going for sticky toffee pudding or chocolate brownies. I opted for the locally sourced cheese platter, home made chutney and savoury biscuits.Our total bill came to £234.00, including reservation deposit, meal and drinks but not tips.The service at Barnards is first class, attentative, friendly but not overdone and the food is excellent too.I/we would definately go back for more meals there in the future, perhaps breakfast one day!

I have had the pleasure to dine at Barnard's on several occasions. Recently attended with friends after a lengthy period and yet greeted and attended to, especially in remembering that I have an allergy and without any prompting advised accordingly regarding my allergy and even more so with the new allergy rulings covering restaurants and food contents. a Big Thumbs up to the staff of Barnard's and we will dine again.

Had Breakfast here today with a friend. 2 bacon sandwiches, 2 Americanos and a small Cafetiere of coffee came to £12:60. We had a lovely 1.5 hours chatting in nice friendly surroundings. I would definitely go back again.

My husband and I went with another couple for our three monthly visit for lunch and as usual it didn't disappoint. The service was excellent as was the food. We all had a starter and main course and were really full when we got to the sweet but they have mini desserts and coffee so we plumped for those and it was just enough but was excellent. I wish more restaurants would do mini desserts and coffee. You come away extremely satisfied and not uncomfortably full. A really good lunch time and with friendly staff. They also do breakfasts so will try those soon.

Met up with two friends, last minute arrangement. Had a fabulous meal, we all chose lamb, with ratatouille, it was absolutely divine! I had the panacotta with strawberries and my friends had the plum and almond tart, gorgeous! Thanks to you all for the fab dining experience, wonderful food and great service. Well done !

I have been visiting this restaurant for 20 years. The food is delicious, the service is friendly and knowledgeable and the atmosphere is calm. I would highly recommend it. Also breakfast and lunch are a hit.

We were a party of 12 in this lovely restaurant on Saturday evening celebrating our Father's 80th birthday. The menu is not overly extensive but there was something to suit everyone, everything was served hot and the service that we received from everyone there was excellent. Would definitely recommend :-)

Have visited this local restaurant a few times, sometimes with friends , others with family and the food, service, attention to detail and quality of food and choice of menu never fails to disappoint us. Well recommend this restaurant

Another great meal at Barnards, hadn't eaten here for about 1 year but were not disappointed.The food was fabulous, service great & lovely atmosphere. Will definitely not leave it so long next time

Went to Barnards yesterday for lunch. We go there once every three months with friends and we are never disappointed. There is a limited menu but everything is served beautifully on the plate and very hot and also with a smile. There are always quite few people in there, mainly local. The restaurant is open for business at 9.30am and locals go in there for breakfast or just a cup of coffee and a chat and perhaps to read a newspaper. Evenings are also very popular. In the nice weather there are also tables and chairs outside which are very much used in the summer months. I would recommend this restaurant. It is family run.

Sorry for the delay in the review, I am still though raving about the steak. We hadn't been to Barnards for a few years and glad to see it has not changed its quality of food and service. I ordered the fillet steak and as usual asked for it blue. As you may see from other reviews this can be a bit dodgy as unless you have a good chef and restaurant they can come out as anything from still frozen in the middle to medium to well done. I needn't have worried, the steak was cooked to perfection with temperature and by god it was like butter in the mouth. We were a party of 6 and we all left wanting more and we will be returning.

Had a family celebration and wanted somewhere a bit special to suit from 9 to 80. Couldn't fault it - something to please everyone. There is no childrens menu in the evening but I went and preordered for a pretty fussy 9 year old niece and selected from the lunchtime childrens menu. Staff couldn't have been more helpful and went out of their way to make the surprise meal special, Food was excellent - I had the mussels followed by confit of duck. The small desserts with coffee were just what was needed after the meal. I was pleasantly surprised by the bill! Have been before and will definitely be going back.

As it was my birthday, my husband booked a table. We hadn't been there for a year or so, as previous, much as we think the meals are excellent, the was always a lack of atmosphere and ambiance (bit like eating in a library!). However, this was a Saturday evening and the was a really good buzz about the place. The age group was varied and groups were chatty without being overly loud. I had soup for starter which was delicious and my husband and I both had fillet steak and chips, which was perfectly cooked. Dessert was a coffee and a small version of a dessert, which was plenty. My only reservation on this restaurant is that I think it's a little overpriced, but at least these days they've stopped charging for 'sides' and you do get a full meal for the price. Waitress service was excellent, although not as 'silver service' as it used to be

We live very close to this lovely place but didn't visit until recently. We have been to lunch here 3 times now. The staff are very friendly and efficient and the venue is immaculately kept. The food is beautifully presented and tastes as lovely as it looks. The standards are quite high yet the prices are very reasonable and they pay attention to every last detail. Since it is the only coffee shop in the village, I would advise you to book especially if there are lots of you because it does fill up rather quickly as it is so popular. It is suitable for all ages. Just the only down side is there is only one highchair but that's nothing compared to the high quality of service you receive there. We all love going. I would recommend their strawberry milkshakes! I order one every time I go in! It is lovingly put together with ice cream and is beautifully garnished with a strawberry on the glass! Just the thing ! Also they sell lovely cakes which they have displayed on the bar and if you want to you can buy the cakes to take away. I usually do because they look so tempting and I promise you, they are delicious.

We booked the restaurant for an 80th birthday lunch for 22 people ranging in age from 2 - 80. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and the food was excellent. We had a fantastic day and the birthday girl and her sisters loved it all.

My wife and I went for dinner here last night. We have lived in the village for over four years now and my wife has always said how much she would like to go there. So this year for her birthday I made a reservation. The menu has always looked great however we had been for a delicious lunch earlier that day so I was slightly worried about comparing the two. Luckily, I needn’t had worried.We received a warm welcome and asked which table we preferred as it was still early (6:45pm). There was a wide choice to choose from when it came to the menu – probably as there were three! There was a special Thursday night offer – Steak, side and wine for under £10 – which my wife chose. There was also the main menu and an additional two course set menu which had 2 different choices of main and desert.My wife had a cheese soufflé to start, followed by the steak and bread and butter pudding for desert. I had a lovely fresh tomato soup to start, followed by a mature cheddar cheese soufflé with roasted cherry tomatoes and a chocolate panna cotta. Everything was delicious. Everything was lovely and fresh, cooked perfectly and full of flavour.I wouldn’t say this was the cheapest of places but you get what you pay for and the food was excellent. The service was friendly and efficient. The chef made a point of coming out the kitchen and saying goodbye to us on the way out which was a nice touch. It’s now left me wondering just why we waited so long to go here. We will definitely be going back and taking friends and family along so they can enjoy it too.I imagine it’s even nicer in the summer as they have a large dining area out the back which is the same size as the restaurant itself. Highly recommend!
