Black Barn Farm in Broadland

Stayed on the camping field behind tge barn. Had a late lunch and two breakfasts here over our stay. Excellent food and service. The staff couldnt have been more helpful . The quality of food was 5 star worthy! All very tasty and fresh....obviously locally sourced. Will definitely return

We visited this farm shop after seeing it on our journey. First impressions were good but once seated was quite chaotic. Your table number is on your cutlery basket. Ours had two numbers which of course the one we gave was wrong. On ordering there was no ham, tomatoes. Someone in front of me was ordering something and they didn’t have their order either. I had a tuna bap and hubby the big breakfast. The breakfast was lovely but my bap was flavourless. It was supposed to have mayo but it tasted just like tuna. There was no salad with it only coleslaw and crisps. I think the coleslaw was homemade but again was tasteless. So I was quite disappointed. We had a tea and coffee with the food and it came to £26.95. I gave £30 but they had no change which I’m surprised at as it was so busy. Whether they are hoping you say keep the change I don’t know. I scraped the amount together. It’s not a place I’d return to

Second visit to this place. The first time was ok but had to wait ages for a table, even though there were plenty of empty ones, just a shortage of staff to serve. Anyway, was persuaded to go again a few months later and it seems even worse. Had to wait an hour for the food to arrive. When it did arrive the order had been messed up. Also couldn’t have my drink, as the glass was dirty. We did complain and things were rectified, but even so it was very disappointing. So no, I won’t be persuaded to go again as there are much better places near by.

Quality of the food was good but all the food was barely warm, it had obvs been sat waiting to come out! The fried eggs were rubbery and pasty, again been waiting to come out. Coffee was lovely and staff very helpful and friendly. Cutlery is poor quality.

We waited 35 minutes for drinks on a weekday. Staff put food down on table without saying anything or apologizing for delay. My food order was incorrect, and when asking staff for the correct order, they were unhelpful, rude and unapologetic. I was made to go up and reorder missing items, which were bought out in a cup with no apology for the confusion. The business has massively gone downhill, would NOT recommend.

Lovely setting. Beautiful views of the surrounding fields. Good service. Polite staff. Filling vegan breakfast. Enjoyed the shops downstairs too. Will return.

Very disappointing. Food cold. Ingredients okay. Waffles swimming in maple syrup with lumps of sugar everywhere. Will not be returning.

We were greeted by a friendly member of staff. Although it was quite busy the service was swift. Our drinks arrived quickly and the wait for our food wasn’t long. My husband had a big breakfast which was huge. The food was good quality and worth what we paid. There were quite a few dogs but they were all well behaved. Lots of parking.

Been to black barn many times. Normally good, today however…. Ask for a big breakfast, no problem. Asked for two medium breakfast, no problems. Asked for another medium breakfast with changes, lady behind the counter taking the order repeated our order back to us along with the drinks we had ordered, order was correct. The big breakfast and one medium breakfast arrived, followed by the breakfast with changes. Missing items off all 3 breakfasts so far, tomatoes. Then hash brown missing off one. Waited a little while….. number 3 medium breakfasts didn’t arrived. Lady came over asking if everything was okay, to which we replied we are missing items and a medium breakfast. She went to the kitchen, apparently we hadn’t ordered the 3rd medium breakfast!!! A few minutes later we did get the 3rd breakfast!! Pretty disappointed today as we don’t get together as a family very often so we were looking forward to our food . Not as good as previous visits

It was ok, but just ok. Staff very friendly. Layout strange. To many dogs for my liking allowed to sit any where so if u don’t like dogs or have a fear of dogs then ur going to be on edge here. I love dogs. Once I know they not going to bite me!, the food average, mass produced and warmed up but I liked it I wouldn’t rush back but it was ok

Initially went for breakfast but by the time we got seated it was brunch tine. The breakfast was really tasty, bacon a bit over done and black pudding on the plate even though it wasn't requested. The second time I went I had pancakes, they were lovely, but because the fruit was frozen, it was so cold that the pancakes got cold very quickly. The ambience was lovely and sitting by the window, such a lovely view. Yes dog friendly, maybe restrict to small dogs or one dog per table. I can see how difficult it is to keep food hot on the plate when the place is really cold. After the first visit, I dressed accordingly for the second and third visit, I will go back again because I liked it.

Concept is really good, lots of parking and Farm shop good quality, sadly two key things let the cafe down. Whilst our food arrived really quickly, sadly we had almost finished our food before our coffee arrived, and I think this was the same for several tables around us. Food was good quality, and well presented, although the eggs, sausages and bacon were only just warm, I don’t mind food being pre-cooked rather than to order, serving it barely warm is not a good show. With a little attention to detail this cafe would be first class, we will likely give this another try so hope management take note and it’s top notch next time.

Ordered a scone each and a couple of coffees but we got the scones before the drinks. Nearly finished them by the time they turned up. This is the 3rd time this has happened and I was willing to give it one last go but I won’t go back. It wasn’t overly busy either. The system is completely wrong, you need drinks before food.

My husband and l came for lunch l ordered chicken and sweetcorn ( Sold). I had a prawn bap it was a job to fine any prawns. My husband ordered vegan sausage with grilled tomato (But NO Tomato) and the Bun was awful, we did not complain as next table people were enjoying a birthday lunch it was their first time and we did not want to spoil it for them by complaining. We will not be recommending or visiting again.

Drove past on the way to family so thought we would pop in on way home. Clearly a new addition to the area and not a poor one as Landscaping and outside area clean and well presented. We popped upstairs to the cafe and welcomed by a young man who was polite and we chose a table by the window with lovely view. Menu simple and easy to choose from. I had a prawn bap and my friend had a sausage and bacon one. Good portion sizes for the price. £19 for that and tea for 2. However, the sauce bottles on the tables were caked in dry drips from previous users and the floor could have done with a good sweep up. Cutlery pot on table empty and not overly clean and neither were the teaspoons. It’s a shame. I wanted it to be nice. I had read some awful reviews and now I can sort of see what they mean. I won’t go back again especially as I got a complimentary hair in my coleslaw …

visited today with my wife, the restaurant was 3/4 full and mo one seemed to be rushing about so food came out 40 minutes later(which is reasonable,but not if its hold held under the hot lighs) Good points;; nice airy restaurant dogs allowed Bad points; mushrooms and tomatoes held under hot lights, bacon(sent back) not crispy, barely cooked, fried cardboard bread, overcooked eggs(blasphemy), wasn't asked about choice of bread or eggs!!!, soggy hash browns(held under lights) all food is batch cooked and hot held and there is no love or care in the end product, also when I sent the bacon back the waiter said oh you wanted it well done, I said no just properly cooked. just say your right that's undercooked I will sort, not make it feel like it was my fault. overall its not cheap and style over substance. There are alot of great independent cafes in norwich that supply a much better product, It makes me sad that the chefs don't care and its all about money

Was recommended to visit. Arrived at 12.00 for lunch - was busy. Took a short time to be seated and the couple in front of us were given the table next to us , however they were obviously well known past customers due to freindliness of the staff. We waited (being aware that it would be a busy time) however became very frustrated when the " staff known" couple not only had their order taken but started to recieve their food when we had been 'ignored" by the waiting staff. As we were discussing our disappointment at the lack of engagement by staff (even a "sorry we are busy we will be with you soon" would have been nice ) a waitress brought us two coffees (which we had not ordered) and when we said they wernt ours she just wandered off. At this point I was hopeful they may have realised we were still waiting (20 minutes) but no, we were still ignored. As the couple next door were finishing their lunchr we left feeling sadden and very disappointed that we had not had a good experience at the Salhouse Black Barn. Sorry can not comment on the quantity or quality of the food and beverages as we never had that opportunity.

First visit following mentions from village local posts on facebook. Thought we would do a breakfast call and we not disappointed.

We been a few times but Came for breakfast again today and couldn’t fault it. Was showed to a table by very nice young lady. It was very busy when we arrived but soon started to fill up. We looked at the menu and went to order at the order stations with another lovely lady we were asked if we had any allergies which we didn’t. We ordered 2 hot chocolates one big barn breakfast and on small barn breakfast food came out piping hot and so much of it, I couldn’t finish mine nor could my husband. Will definitely be back.

We arrived on a very wet and windy Thursday at around 11am. It was very busy, but promptly given a table for 2 by the window. We placed our order at the counter, our food and drinks arrived very quickly. All the staff were so nice, courteous, and attentive. Our food was lovely, my husband had the Salhouse Breakfast and I had a slice of carrot cake, both had a coffee. Liked that the tables were nicely spaced out, We really enjoyed our visit Black Barn Farm, and look forward to returning.

We visited this morning for the farmers market and it was so good! We had breakfast upstairs in the very large spacious cafe! The staff were all amazing and so friendly ! The food was very good. We bought steaks from the butchers for our dinner - the butcher was a friendly and happy guy! Can't wait to revisit.

Really beautiful venue and wonderful staff, they can’t do enough to help you! From the moment we got into the cafe, we were greeted by a friendly waiter who showed us to our table. We ordered at the counter with ease, and our food was promptly served, hot and beautifully presented. We will certainly be back!

Absolutely brilliant!! We came in at around 12.30 on a Saturday we were Greeted by a lovely young man. it was quite busy but no wait for a table. We sat down very tidy table the whole cafe was indeed very clean it's dog friendly which I love to see! We popped up to order about 5 minutes later we received the loveliest coffee I've ever had! It diddnt only look good it tasted it too. We ordered the hen house benidicts and the big barn breakfast. And all I can say is WOW! they were both absolutely incredible everything was piping hot and all cooked to perfection. All I can say it the plates were definitely clean by the end of it. All the staff were incredible never seen so many smiles such a lovely atmosphere will definitely be returning!

Treated the family to a nice breakfast. Busy rush at this time. Staff were hard working with friendly smiles on their faces, very welcoming and such a lovely atmosphere to be in. Staff were very prompt and always ontop on things. Not long to wait for breakfast even as such a busy time. Food was lovely, presentable and steaming hot. Checked on by Staff to see how we were doing. Place very clean and tidy. Once a table was finish with in a blink of an eye you'd see a Staff member cleaning it. Overall a lovely place to eat at. Would highly recommend, great place for a catch up with friends, family or even a meeting. Would definitely be returning. Thankyou to the staff at Blackbarn, your hardwork is what makes a lovely place so good for us all to come and visit!

Great breakfasts with plenty on your plate. Been here a few times now as a couple and also with the rest of the family always plenty of choice. Well run by all the staff.

We've visited Black Barn Farm twice now for food and once for one of their markets. Both times, the food has been absolutely delicious. Portion sizes and prices are really good, food quality is great and staff are really friendly and accommodating if you need...

Visited just for coffee one morning. Loved the place. Friendly staff, great coffee, and love that it is dog friendly. Returning for breakfast later this week.

Good value big breakfast sets you up for the day friendly cheerful service nice touch when the owner comes round to introduce himself and has a chat will definitely be back ,nice variety of goods on the farmers market.

We came when they first opened in the summer and enjoyed it, so thought we would go back for an Autumnal visit. We were greeted and seated promptly and tea for two was brought swiftly over to our table. A fine brunch menu was ready...

Pleasant experience. Visited during what would be considered the busiest period of the week (Saturday Morning). We were warmly greeted but told we had to wait for a table (which didn’t take too long). I was keen to have the chance to pre-book a table...

We got there mid morning and the large restaurant was almost completely full. The greeter, not a young waitress in a revealing uniform, was a very pleasant lady of middle years who quickly found us a table by splitting up a six place into a...

Menu limited, all day breakfasts and baps - also cakes, but good quality and large portions. Very disappointing that for this newly built cafe on an upper floor there was no easy access for those with mobility problems. Plenty of spare space at entrance for...

This place had rave reviews from many people I know. And whilst I can see why, I don't think I'd return. The seating is very large, in the top of a barn. The view is nice. But it is very noisy because of it, and also very stuffy. The waitresses are all very young, many wearing revealing attire, such as very short shorts, skin tight dress or cheap leggings where you can see their thong underneath. Not great. The food is from local sources apparently, but we found it to be cheapish sausages and bacon, certainly not from Ozzy Oinkers which is just down the road and absolutely delicious. The price was fair, and we feel it is quantity over quality, which is totally fine if that is your thing. We did have items missing from our orders as well but didn't bother to mention it until the end, I'm sure they would have sorted it out for us, but we had young babies who needed to go home. The owner came over for a chat, and I wish him well. Just not the quality we like.
