This restaurant used to combine a charming, historic setting with a wide menu of hearty food (the cauliflower cheese was world class) but now the bill of fare is on a par with an average roadside café: Pasties,beans on toast, jacket potatoes etc. The staff are as friendly as before, but the magic has gone.

We had a private meeting in the fabulous old Council Chamber at the back of the cafe. It was the Old Guildhall and all the original features have been kept so a real hidden gem. Pasties are always great = Barnecutts so would be. Other food also great and good selection and they quickly rustled up 3 vegan salads too. But the staff made all the difference. They just could not do enough for us and everything went to plan which is just what you need when having a business meeting. Would highly recommend it. Friendly and efficient, great food, great value for money, great coffee, amazing historic setting. Really what's not to love.

Used to be a good breakfast.now the price has jumped up to £7.50 for the same breakfast....bacon was like shoe leather which was odd for 9am...I can only assume it was cooked the day before and reheated. It's the best place for pasties but the cafe isnt what it was... It's a shame as the other branch on the industrial estate seems to be getting better and leaving the town branch behind.

Through the bakery shop and up the steps into a part of Bodmin history with a fantastic snack meal to suit every palate. We ordered at the counter and our hot meal was brought to our table very quickly. The staff were amazingly helpful and friendly, a credit to the company. I had the double fried egg and bacon bap and a drink and it was all so fresh. I also shared some chips with my friends. The chips were the best ever, they would beat any chip shop chips for sure. The history of the building is incredible as it was the old guildhall. Up above the food hall/cafe door is a stained glass sign saying MUNICIPAL OFFICE (as far as I remember). Even the spotlessly clean loos must have been an office of some description at some stage. I URGE anyone visiting Bodmin TO call in here for a delicious meal and a look around the building and to meet the friendliest staff ever. On your way out go down the steps and buy some scummy cakes from the shop. Will be visiting again soon from Newton Abbot to explore more of Bodmin and to have another delightful meal here

Mer and my wife go here for lunch frequently. Always reasonable food if somewhat overpriced. Still worth visiting for a lunch time snack

we were lucky to by chance just walk and discover Barny's - which is a cafe belonging to a bakery located in an old guildhall with plenty of seating. Friendly staff - wide selection of sandwiches , cakes , toast , breakfast rolls etc ...

Been her e many times. Usually try different foods but, the Pasties are incredible. If you visit Bodmin, you MUST try Warrens, the food there, especially the pasties, is trully great.

They've recently updated this restaurant in the middle of the town. Though I have only visited for tea and haven't eaten here since the update I'm sure the food is as good as ever as the staff are the same. Before the update this restaurant was waitress service but now you have to queue at the counter and order what you want before sitting down. They have also simplified the menu and it is now about half the size it used to be. Also they have stopped selling pots of tea and though I emailed the company to complain about this, I was told it is because they don't have the room they used to behind the counter. It really is a shame as I used to enjoy a nice pot of tea with my meals or snacks. Even the staff seem to be less happy with the new arrangments.

Have visited Barny's restaurant regularly for the last three years as the service was good, and there was quite a choice of menu together with lots of specials on the board. It has recently been refurbished and sadly I don't feel it's as good as it was. The booths used to be quite private with high seat backs but the tops have now been replaced with glass. There is also background music playing which is unnecessary even though it's fairly quiet. The television is on all the time with the sound muted. But the biggest shame is the fact that it used to be full waitress service but now you have to order at the counter and then it is delivered to the table but you fetch your own cutlery etc. The food is still lovely but less choice and only one item on the specials board. Sorry to say it's disappointing.

This was a pleasant surprise in the middle of Wadebridge on a freezing cold night! Brightly lit and welcoming, with good quality tables and chairs. Friendly helpful staff. We chose from the Specials Board, but also excellent choice on the main menu. Lovely, well cooked fish and tasty chips.Nice desserts and a good cuppa, what more could you ask!

This is a delightful room, at the back of the Bakery - behind the Malcolm Barnecutt café. I believe it was the Council chamber at one time, and has the most lovely stain glassed windows, and oak panelling.

Eating in Barny's is a joy. A waitress comes to the table to take your order and the food is freshly cooked. All reasonably priced and delicious. Good for morning coffee, lunch or early afternoon tea - with Cornish cream of course

Barneys is in the old town hall and they have kept all the wonderful windows and other features. The menu is very good with a daily special menu very good value. The staff are very friendly and helpful, only thing, the smell of the wonderful pasties when leaving is so tempting. Well worth a visit.

Paramos aquí para el almuerzo después de ciclismo de Padstow a lo largo del sendero de camello. Es un pequeño y encantador café/restaurante con un ambiente agradable y acogedor.

Barneys es un lugar popular para una cena de carne asada y muchos otros aperitivos, es posible tener una comida pensionistas que es muy razonable. Es bueno para el desayuno o el almuerzo.

The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is warm and cozy on a winter's day. At the moment they have a 'winter warmer' offer of £2.50 for a latte and shortbread biscuit. The latte was crazy sweet but the shortbread was good.

Found this place by mistake, went in to the cake shop and noticed the café beyond. Greeted with a smile and nothing was too much bother.Simple food done well, Excellent value and such a lovely building.The Sausage and Egg Bap, BLT Bap and The Panini were all good value. Tea made exactly as you want it, nothing is too much trouble.Certainly visit again next time we are in Bodmin.

Barny's is a good value cafe and service was provided quickly and politely. The coffee was also surprisingly good.Nothing was exceptional but neither was there anything wrong, all in all they sell good honest food at reasonable prices.BTW They have free WiFi, which was useful because I couldn't get a mobile signal inside.

Wondering where we might get some lunch and raised the question with a local lady in the street - she recommended Barny's. We would never have located it without her directions. Up half a level behind a bakery in the Barnecutt Bakery Guild Hall is Barny's.Very good menu, friendly and efficient service by the staff on our visit.The building itself has some very church style features.

We sat down and ordered a cup of tea and toasted teacakes. After 20 mins nothing had happened. I went to the counter and asked why have so many people been served and we not. The answer came, as you are sitting, you take second place, the people that come in from the street have priority. You will have to wait!!!!!!!

What a hidden treasure!! Tucked away at the back of the bakers on Bodmin High street this charming tea room/restaurant is like stepping back in time. We were approached by the pleasant waitress upon seating and didnt have to wait long for our food. We were exceptionally pleased and I must recommend the homemade lasagne!!! The price was very reasonable and its easy to see why this charming little place was so busy. Definitely stop by!!

Recommended this excellent bakery and café and we certainly weren't disappointed. The cafe at the back of the shop is a fascinating old building with some attractive stained glass windows. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. Tea and coffee were both very good. My husband enjoyed an excellent almond slice, while I tucked into delicious simnel cake. Yummy.

Lovely bread of all descriptions, Pasties are "To Die For" and I should know. I've had 100's of 'em over the years ! Only reason I didn't give it ***** was that the Café at the rear is a bit expensive.Well worth a visit, you won't regret it.

From the outside this is a baker's shop behind which is the restaurant. The food is always freshly cooked and so isn't fast food, but it is great plain cooked food. The cakes are lovely and the pasties are the best in the area, also if you like your tea in large amounts this is the place to go.The building itself used to be the old council chambers as shown by the crest over the shop entrance, the windows show various crests in coloured glass. Overall a great place to visit as all the locals who go there will agree.

We often visit this restaurant at lunchtimes and it never disappoints. The staff are very welcoming and helpful and the food is always tasty and fresh. Lovely specials board, although this time we had Pasty and Chips. The restaurant is in a lovely old building so well worth a visit if you're in the area, and it's very reasonably priced.

One meal sent back as it was cold. Pizza literally covered in oregano so that it tasted of nothing else.Very average and not likely to return.

Barny's cafe is in the Old Guildhall, a well-preserved and beautifully decorated historic building. Good food at good low prices. Our cornish pasties came with a generous side salad and pot of tea for £4.60 p.p.

Firstly, I am local….. Secondly, I speak the truth… Thirdly, I am glad that the prices remain reasonable to the working class family man…… Although the decor might be a little bit tiring, the hospitality compensates…… On the last at least…. This place does amazing food…. Fantastic variety and the special board fluctuates…. I just don’t think that anybody that is down earth Can fully understand what it must be like to run a business. It’s like the same goes spread all your cards out and choose wisely. I have eaten all over the world up and down throughout the UK…. And I don’t remotely care what negativity comments I read on here about the coppice…. I salute every individual under the Employment of the establishment. Therefore, I totally recommend anyone to try this place. If you are too posh to wash and this place is not for you.. And if you do not suffer by piles Then clearly, you are the perfect backside …. And as Dell boy once said…. Bonjour …..

My elderly parents stayed overnight at this charming local inn. They were, from the start, treated with huge care and respect. Staff went above and beyond to cater for their needs which included swapping rooms to allow easier access, housing (and charging) a mobility scooter at some inconvenience and finally ensuring they left and returned safely from their social commitment. Their kindness was amazing. And the room itself was fresh, clean and well maintained with all the charm you would expect in this lovely building.

Went for a coffee and was told could only have take away as it was 15:40 on a Sunday, my wife and I are both disabled and I have an ostomy and asked to use the loo and was told I could only if I buy something, so it cost me 7 quid for two takeaway coffees just to use the loo....thanks national trust

We booked afternoon tea for family celebrations. Afternoon tea was presented beautifully and was delicious. Our waitress Pinka was friendly and looked after us. The special offer was a bonus too. Highly recommended!
