Enjoyed a lovely breakfast at The Barn with my friend. The waitress was very kind and gave us a choice of table, we chose the garden area which was beautiful and peaceful. We were served quickly and the food was great. I wish the Barn breakfast had hash browns and more baked beans but it was still delicious! We tried waiting for our plates to be taken but the waitress didn’t come over for ages so we stood up to go and pay but the waitress rushed over to bring our bill over, so think she had forgotten about us. But that was the only minor issue.

We used to come here a lot for breakfast but thought we would try for lunch. Seems to have lost its way here. Service is slow, the menu seems over complicated to the extent that you struggle to find something you would like and just settle for the best option. Menu for kids to pretty poor and the food that we did go for is just okay and so over priced for what you get. Even saw another family get up and leave before ordering which supports the experience I had. My advice would be to resist trying to be too creative with the menu and do the basics better.

Been a few times now, usually for a cup of tea and a scone. Last time there was a distinct drop in quality, with the scones being flavourless, and the earliest get tea being nothing like any other earl grey tea I've ever had. Probably won't be returning...

Big shout out to Barn Plants. Highly recommended. Recently contacted them to say our pump for a water feature purchased within the last year had stopped working. The following day they contacted me to say they had a replacement pump waiting for us in the office. Excellent customer service. We have also bought a great deal of plants from there. Josh has an amazing knowledge of plants. They are well looked after & have thrived in our garden. Finally, the cafe is amazing. Great food & service. You do need to book though.

We've reviewed and recommended barn plants many times over the years We've visited. However we absolutely have fallen out of love with the cafe. Lovely surroundings, just feel the value gas disappeared. This week, we received 2 dirty knives and 2 dirty forks. They pleasant waitress changed them and apologised as they actually still had food on them. Then ordered 2 sandwiches, 1 which was OK, but nothing like what a £10.50 sandwich should be. My wife had a gluten free sandwich ( which always in fairness is made of smaller bread), but the filling was ridiculous. 4x 2p piece sized pieces of chicken, because we actually counted them. Again £10.50. No salad, just literally a couple of leaves for colour, not even a slice of cucumber or half a cherry tomato. Just really really disappointed. We're looking elsewhere now as we're don't with the lack of value, and in fact, greedy priced sandwiches. Such a shame.

Had lunch here there was 4 in our party and we had pre booked. Staff were pleasant enough however not particularly helpful and waited a long time for 2 straight forward coffees. Coffee lukewarm. Friend arrived she waited at least 20 minutes and then 2 coffees arrived. Good we waited about 30 mins it did nt appear that busy just under staffed. Staff did nt return to check if we needed drinks again we had to ask for everything . Food is very nice 😊 nicely prepared- manager needs to retrain staff and get a few more staff in on a Sunday please. 🙏🏼 I would always book well in advance in future …

£28 for 2 coffees and 2 very mediocre sandwiches. Despite there being plenty of empty tables we had to leave our name and come back in 15 minutes? Honestly, £10.50 for 2 thin slices of bread an adequate filling and a few green leaves is not good enough. Won’t be back unfortunately.

The decor and atmosphere was very pleasant. The food was exceptionally high quality and it was cooked & presented brilliantly. The front of house team were attentive but never intrusive. Special mention to Jade for her great service made to feel welcome and relaxed.Two other team members attended our table throughout the meal,but we did not catch their names.

Asked for the Basil to be left out of the hard ciabatta roll it was like asking for gold no customer service skills just made to look awkward. Perhaps they come out of a packet & not made to order who knows. £36 for a salad & chips & ciabatta roll & 2 soft drinks. Food & service today was awful. It WAS a lovely friendy, great choice menu, reasonable priced meals. NOW its had a refurbishment the customers are paying the price. We live & learn never again.

The café is quite big, and it has an inside and an outside space and lots of different sized tables to choose from. We were being served by different members of staff, who were all very friendly. There is certainly a lot to be seen in the shopping part and the outside garden supplies, and I'll be back to browse properly next time.

We came here for afternoon tea. 3 had the prosecco and I had the tea. I wasn't offered any specialty tea, perhaps I should have asked what was on offer. It looked fabulous. We had salmon n cream cheese, egg n cress, ham n mustard and savoury muffins. If you are veggie u need to advise them beforehand. The desserts were: mini white choc n raspberry tart, macaron, Victoria sandwich or chocolate sandwich slice, a posset, but none of us could identify the flavour, and scone jam n cream. There was ample and we thought the price was fair.

The Barn cafe is located at the garden centre, there is seats both in the main cafe area, seats just outside in the indoor part of the garden centre (but sectioned off as part of the cafe) and also seats outside (when the weather is good!). We visited on a Monday, expecting it not to be overly busy - but actually it was very busy and we had a short wait so they could get through some of the orders. Once seated we got served fairly quickly. The menu isn't massive with a few lunch type options available. We went with the Chicken and Bacon wrap and got a side of chips to share. Certainly not the cheapest lunch, but it was nice. The cafe was still busy as we left... so certainly seems popular.

The waitress staff are great, but there was an older matron'esk woman, that was on the edge of being rude and I don't think should be in a customer facing role. We had not booked and even though the kitchen was still open for another hour, she told us in a blunt manner, that there was only cake avaliable, no savoury food. She also said we would have to eat indoors, as there were no tables outside, when infact there were a number of free tables outside. Finally she said the chef could stretch to a bacon roll. The roll was a very light cheap bun, smear of butter, two slices of bacon, that some how cost £7. All served with no tomato sauce, that had to be requested. There are allot of very nice local pubs, with friendlier staff, cheaper and better quality food. I would avoid this cafe at all costs.

We were told someone would come over. After 15 minutes of waiting I went up to the counter and told no can not order 2 coffees from the counter someone would be over. Few minutes later someone did come over. Ordered 2 coffees. By 2:45 we still had not received 2 coffees went back to the counter cancelled and left. Such a beautiful place but 45 minutes to not receive 2 coffees is unacceptable there were empty tables counted at least 5 people serving. Service is a must!!

We had a delicious meal at The Company Shed, which I think I last visited around a decade ago. We ordered scallops, prawns, crab cakes and sauteed potatoes. All very tasty, well-seasoned and a lovely, different place to dine. The food does come out when it's ready, but this didn't bother us and we enjoyed what we had. The food, a glass of local white wine and a beer, came to £60. I think this is quite reasonable for a good meal. I had booked my table via the online form back in September, a month before we came, and sent a follow up email during the week to confirm. Nonetheless, when we arrived, I was told they couldn't find my booking and we felt like an inconvenience. They seated us anyway but from when we arrived until when we left, there were only three tables with guests, including us, even though they turned customers away. All in all, a really lovely meal but maybe The Company Shed ought to improve their booking system, as I sensed a lack of communication amongst the team. Thanks for some delicious seafood, we will be back.
