We visited here as a Christmas treat we were told there was a wait which was fine after about 30 minutes we were notified our table was ready, the cafe is cozy and intimate but with a general feeling of ease about it, I chose the liver and bacon which was delicious and my daughter had the Brie and bacon toastie which she said was gorgeous, my grandson had beans on toast which they very thoughtfully brought a bit earlier than ours so he could be getting started, we felt it was reasonably priced for the quality of the food and we will definitely return Thankyou so much xx

Wow! Had heard great things about this little place and decided to treat my mum to lunch here. Arrived and it was very busy! Got given a beeper and told there were 3 tables ahead of us (no booking system.) Finally got seated after about 30 minutes and my goodness - worth the wait! I had a mocha which was delicious and ordered the brie and redcurrant jelly toastie. Had it with bacon and it was sensational! Mum had the liver and bacon which she said was delicious! My little boy got a half portion of beans on toast that was just perfect for him and reasonable (no kids menu but just half the portion, half the price from the main menu which made perfect sense!) Prices for the quality and enjoyment of the food were great in my opinion. We were eyeing up the cakes but we're just too full on this occasion but we'll definitely be visiting again! There was an amazing winter warmer deal on with soup and a sandwich that seemed really popular! Great service too from friendly staff who couldn't do enough to help! This place is a little gem!

Met a friend here for lunch. As we have visited before we knew that the food was really lovely here. It was full when we arrived but was told there should be a table free in 20 to 30 minutes. As it was a little chilly we went to wait in the car as we were told that we couldn't wait inside. After an hours wait ... and some concern to the time (we needed to be somewhere) we went inside where we saw 2 empty tables. On entering we weren't acknowledged for several minutes and then sent outside again to wait. No apology, no smile. We did as we were told but felt very uncomfortable. The 2 tables were not really dirty, just required a couple of coffee mugs to be removed and a quick wipe. However, after 5 minutes of being made to stand outside in the cold, and still not invited in to sit at a table ... which we had now patiently waited an hour and 10 minutes for, we made the decision to leave. Such a shame as although the food is very lovely here, we probably won't be visiting this establishment again due to the rudeness of some of the staff. On our other visits we had the most fantastic service so I guess it depends on who is hosting on the day.

Came here on Thursday for a catch up with my daughter. Not been for a while. But as usual, was not disappointed. I had the ham, eggs and sautéed potatoes and my daughter had the homemade soup. Then we took a couple of slices of St Clements cake home for my daughter & my husband. I chose the ham because I knew it would be good quality and it was absolutely delicious! Lovely thick cut slices that crumbled in my mouth. Was absolutely delicious!!! I love the extra touches, like rugs over the chairs incase you’re feeling cold and a buzzer if there aren’t any tables so you can wait in your car. As usual fabulous service from the team. Thank you - we will be back!

Husband and I have been talking about coming here for a while, and today we tried it for the first time. It IS very popular (no surprise there) so we had to wait a while in the sunshine to be given a table. We checked out the menu and topped up our tan, and once we had a table we were able to order almost straight away, drinks came quickly, food took a little longer - because it is freshly cooked and pretty much everything is made on the premises. I had the tuna cheese melt, husband opted for the chicken & mushroom pie from the 'specials' board, and it WAS special. It also defeated him, so I had to help with some chips which were exactly like my grandma used to make. It didn't stop him buying a huge slice of coconut cake to bring home for tea. Great service, good food, and really good prices. We'll be back soon. Make sure you are hungry before you visit!

I come here regularly, if not for breakfast it's for lunch. Sometimes it's just me and my husband, sometimes we bring our daughter with us. The staff are all wonderful and very helpful, the food is freshly made and always tastes amazing. If I haven't room for pudding I take cake home with me (sometimes I've eaten pudding but still take cake home with me for later). We have also had a cake made to order from here which tasted AMAZING! (butterscotch tart for those who were wondering) There is items for sale from little local makers which is always worth looking at (the biscuits are lovely and if you like the ones that come with coffee you can buy those too). Sometimes when it is full we have had to wait - most we've waited was 40 minutes but it is worth the wait for high quality food you get given, most of the time we know what we'll order as we follow on Facebook so always see what's on the specials board weekly.

Not been here for a while so decided to call for lunch on a Monday. We had a short wait in the car with the buzzer system which in my opinion is a good idea saves you waiting outside in cooler weather. It was quiche for me delicious and my husband had the chicken chill burger with homemade chips 😍. The cakes looked amazing as always we were nearly tempted to have a takeaway which is handy. Can’t wait to go back when the weather gets warmer as the out door seating area is lovely. Thank you Hay barn ladies always friendly and have a chat .

After passing The Hay Barn for many years but never actually calling in, we dropped in for breakfast today, and I’m so pleased we did. There are breakfast options to suit every taste, and my scrambled eggs on toast were delicious. My partner’s breakfast cob went down very well too. The service was excellent and quick, the presentation was lovely, and I really liked that my food was served on a hot plate. It’s little details like that that really make a difference in showing that they care about customers’ experiences. Thank you, and see you again soon!

I thought I would write another review after my last one got a not so warm response from the owner. So here goes. The lack of booking system meant they operate a buzzer system that didn’t work for me personally. I walked to the cafe so therefore standing outside in the rain waiting for a table wasn’t a great option for me. (Customers can wait in their car if able to) however it just makes it hard to plan your visit. Once I was seat it did become apparent that it was cold inside due to people coming in and out very often to check for avaible tables or return with their buzzer. I enjoyed my coffee, the food was average to my opinion. I did take some cake away with me as they looked lovely however It was really dry. The staff did seem stressed and I wouldn’t say it was “service with a smile” I don’t think I will be returning more so due to the sarcastic response I got on my last review “ Oh dear, looking at all your other TripAdvisors reviews I think you'd be better off staying at home and cooking for yourself love!” I welcome you to have a read at my other reviews as I am pretty sure I am very fair. Hopefully this review gets a more open response from The owner instead of sarcasm.

Absolutely delicious Ploughman's Lunch. Choice of cheese or meat or a combination of both. We opted for the meat version and it didn't disappoint. Very good coffee and tea to accompany our food. Fabulous selection of cakes, we took a slice of Orange curd cake home as we were too stuffed to eat it there.

What a superb little tea room this is! We dropped in on the off-chance, having driven by many times before saying “we must try there..” We luckily got a table straight away (you often have to wait at busy times I understand) and sat in a really nice corner of the barn. The staff were absolutely lovely and the menu caters for far more than tea and cakes with a good range of breakfast items, lunches and savouries too. Home-made cakes absolutely delicious…! Quality ingredients all round, lots of it locally sourced. Service was fabulous …Very impressed…! We shall definitely be returning!

Once again fabulous hospitality from start to finish! We could see it was busy so I asked to be popped on the list for a table. The buzzer system allows you to sit in your car and wait on a cold or rainy day, and after 15 mins we were alerted a table was ready. To us this is no problem and it’s well worth the short wait. We both chose from the special board Chicken & Leek pie. It was delicious!! Tasty Chicken and Leek filling topped with a puff pastry lid, hand cut chips, minted peas and a pot of gravy all served on a piping hot plate. No dessert after as we were full from our lunch but the treacle sponge and custard being served looked very very nice. Definitely one for another time. Always impressed when we visit here. Thank you to all the team x

We came here for the first time last Saturday. When we arrived there were no free tables but the waitress came straight to us and gave us an alarm which would alert us when the table became vacant, allowing us to wait in the car. When we were seated we chose the delicious homemade soup and then afternoon tea for two. Everything was absolutely gorgeous and, as we couldn’t manage it all, the lady gave us a box to bring our cake home. What an excellent place to visit. We will definitely be back soon.

Ordered Parsnip soup ( as I know it)!) Unfortunately couldn’t taste the parsnip just spice. I only had 2 spoons and decided it wasn’t for me. I said I couldn’t taste the parsnip . I still was charged full price I think it was £7.95 when they could see it wasn’t touched , so very disappointed with the way it was dealt with as situations like this need to be addressed leaving the customer happy enough with the outcome .

Hadn’t been here for a number of years and think it must have been taken over as it has definitely gone downhill. The booking in system is disappointing and not well managed, having to stand outside until someone comes to you, scribbles your name down and gives you a buzzer is not customer friendly and not made apparent at the door. Wonder how this will work in bad weather! Visit for lunch ended up being early tea due to the length of time we had to wait. Staff allowed force young woman to push in before us and several others that were waiting. Then another couple who booked in after us allowed in before us as there was only a table for two available, Ended up sitting outside on a dry but windy day to eat our meal. We were allowed inside when nearly empty to have a hot drink and cake. And guess what the force woman and the older lady with her was still there and sat on the four seater table that should have been ours. The cake was nice but both the cheese and the meat ploughmans were dreadful, over priced, the haslet and pork pie were old and dry, the boiled egg had obviously been cooked for a few days. Stated on menu ‘You will not be disappointed’ Well we were and will not be returning. We gave them the benefit of the doubt and waited nearly two hours to get served initially and that would have been longer had we not asked if we could sit outside. A lot of people have said they wouldn’t have waited but three friends meeting at a central point after not seeing each other for a long time did, Do yourselves a favour and visit The Birds Nest, Wadnell Lane, Weston or the tearoom at Eakring, so much better.

Another amazing experience evening at the Haybarn… fantastic ploughman’s platter, selection of ‘pint’ to go with it, and lovely ambience in the outdoor seating area (and incredibly grateful for the team arranging a nice, warm, dry evening with the weather-Gods!)

What a lovely little cafe. Found via TripAdvisor, this proved to be as good as people said. Meals were above average prices but worth every penny and nothing, not even the side salad (which was lovely), was left on the plates afterwards. Even went back in and took some scones with us for a mid-afternoon snack. Weather was good so we were outside with 2 dogs who enjoyed seeing other dogs going to the nearby groomers. We will be back in the future.

This is a lovely place with very friendly staff. It's also dog friendly. Within a few minutes of sitting down, they bought out water and food for my dog, it was so unexpected and lovely. They have a good value "drink and a meal" menu. My wife had mussels, which came with a lovely seafood cream sauce and bread, and I had ravioli, which was also very nice. There's a very good selection on the menu, and I think it's going to take quite a few visits to work through it. There are numerous gluten free and vegan options, so it should suit most people. They offer some very nice cocktails, the ones we tried were very impressive. We also had something off the desert menu. There's a good selection, we had the cheesecake and it was lovely. We won't hesitate to visit again. Edit: We've been going back for a number of months, and absolutely love the place. The great food and wonderful staff really make this place feel ma Edit 2: We're still going back to this place. They've updated the menu to keep things fresh. I think they've done it a couple of times since we've been going. The food is still wonderful and the staff are all really lovely. Edit 3: We still love this place. They've recently won some well deserved awards. It's great to see such nice people do so well. Edit 4: We've just gone back after their most recent menu update. We tried a new dish, crab filled pasta, it's absolutely lovely. We will be back again soon.
