The Big Red Barn Company in South Lanarkshire

I really want to love Erringtons Barn as I love their cheese and I am a local but having had food there twice now I won’t be going back for anything other than a coffee. On the second visit on Monday I ordered Croque Madame. I didn’t see the price before ordering as the menus hadn’t been printed off. The waitress was an over explainer which was rather annoying. The Croque Madame was very dry with not enough sauce on top and an overcooked fried egg so nothing unctuous about it and nothing else on the plate. I reported this to the waitress who said that she would feed it back to the chef but I wasn’t offered anything else to compensate for my unsatisfactory plate of food.My friend had a small plate of cheese which was miniscule and eaten in 2 bites for £7. She had asked for some salad to be added to the plate (which she would have paid for) but the waitress said that she would have to have a salad from the menu. I bought some cheese and it was only when I got home that I realised that I had been charged £16 for the Croque Madame. The food is just not good enough and the portions aren’t large enough to charge these prices. The menu also isn’t broad enough to appeal to anyone who doesn’t like cheese. On the plus side the coffee that I had there is fairly good. All such a shame.

My husband and I were on our way from Glasgow to Peebles and stopped at this cafe which was previously The Red Barn.We realised this was now a cheese shop and cafe. We looked at the menu and decided to share a cheese platter which was £16.We were extremely disappointed when this arrived as hardly enough for one person never mind two and far too expensive for what was provided.There were 3 small pieces of cheese all which tasted nice,a cooked plum,a spoonful of honey,2 small toasts,2 oatcakes and 1 flatbread. We also had coffee which was very nice.Total bill £22.Now I know that good homemade cheese is s expensive but we felt quite ripped off. We had asked the waitress what was on offer and she referred us to the menu but she did not tell us there was a board on the wall advising you could have breakfast rolls and filled rolls which were under £5 each.I only noticed this when I went up to pay the bill.We would have preferred this to a cheese board as basically we thought you could only get what was on the very different menu. We would come back if in the area as we liked the staff and the ambiance but would prefer rolls. There is plenty of parking and indoor and outside seating.There are also walks close by.

Unquestionably, the best coffee shop in the area! Dog friendly and free wifi.I’m so thankful that finally,I was able to find this spot for some good coffee. Can park for free grab a coffee and take the dog for a walk on the trails outside. Popped back in,had the breakfast,which is all made from Erringtons own farm local produce and just relaxed. Also own farm cheesees for sale in shop too.The atmosphere inside this coffee shop is calming and chilled. I will definitely rate them a five-star for everything that they provided. Truly amazing and will be back again and again.

Friendly service and good selection of traybakes but at £16.69 for two coffees a scone and tray bake rather pricey. Would also have bought some cheese but only one person could be served at a time and there was a long delay and couldn't wait

The best mushroom soup I have ever tasted. Lovely friendly staff. Highly recommended. If I could give more than 5 stars I definitely would.

Very disappointing menu now. Not sure who this will appeal to! We left without eating. We have come here on a fairly regular basis for either lunch or coffee and cake. We won't be back.

We often visited The Big Red Barn, enjoying a scenic drive from East Lothian, today we were dismayed to discover it had changed hands. The menu has been drastically reduced, gone are the sausage rolls, pies, choice of soup, to be replaced with very little. Prices are expensive, ridiculously expensive. £15 for a Croque Madame, £4.70 (seriously!) for a pot of Scottish tea, £2.75 for a mug of Yorkshire tea. Very weird marketing there. The Croque Madame was nice, but hard to eat with very blunt knives, and please cook the egg a little longer, snotty eggs are not nice. The cakes were limited and uninteresting. Sorry, but we won’t be returning.

Visited with family including a young child and was very disappointed. Menu not available online or on social media anywhere so didn’t realise how much the menu had changed from the previous owners. Nothing atall suitable for a child to eat (sheeps cheese in almost every dish! And the couple of items that didn’t contain sheeps cheese were poor! Plain half baguette was solid, burnt and served with no butter, chips £5 for a small handful and drowned in salt! Croque Madame- burnt bread and hard to eat! Decided to try some cakes to rescue the meal but had to asked quite a few times to have the table cleared, most cakes had sold out and those that were left were dry and unappealing. Definitely won’t be returning, menu poor, staff poorly trained and over stretched and far too expensive for what it was.

This has recently changed ownership. It has become really expensive. Will not be returning, which is a shame, as it was a lovely stop off on the way to Edinburgh. Tiny cakes, much less choice. Pleasent staff though .

First visit for a while and it has now been taken over by new owners. Personally I preferred the menu that was in place before but there still was a decent choice. Prices for what you get I think are quite hefty. Drinks are expensive. Staff were pleasant but it didn’t have the feel of really wanting to be there. Cleanliness was a bit lacking - crumbs on table, food on floor that hadn’t been swept up from a previous customer. The food was fine. Nice soup and bread. I just felt that the ambience was lacking and it didn’t feel as welcoming as perhaps it should.

Not good! Overpriced and not tasty! Disappointing. Twice I was ignored when saying excuse me to order another drink. Portions and value for money are very poor: macaroni cheese couldn’t be eaten. Such a shame as has the potential to be a lovely place to stop for food. Very disappointed Since it changed hands and wouldn’t expect to be back!

A busy time but we still got our food quickly. The place was spotless, the staff friendly and the food was both delicious and reasonable. A great experience from a hard-working business that deserves success!👏👏👏

Having heard that the BRB has recently changed hands I decided to check it out by treating my parents to coffee & cake. It was approximately 2pm on a Monday afternoon and it was encouraging to see the place so busy. Despite being obviously rushed off their feet, the servers greeted us with a smile and told us to sit wherever we could. There were 2 tables available and the staff cleared the one we picked straight away. There were some very tempting choices on the lunch menu, many making use of Erringtons own delicious cheese but we resisted the temptation of a second lunch and went look at the great selection of homebakes available. My parents both had Bakewell tart which was really tasty, fluffy and very generously served! I had a Chocolate brownie which was super-chocolatey, moist and scattered with chopped stem ginger on top which cut through the richness perfectly. The Tea and coffee (latte & cappuccino) were also superb. On the way out, we also bought some of their fantastic cheese and some proper Scottish Butter. All in all it was a lovely cake stop with really lovely friendly service. Next time though, we’ll make sure we have room to try some of their lunch options too!

What a disaster. I had been before the business had being taken over and gave it 5 stars. However on this occasion we sat for at least 15 minutes and were completely ignored by all the staff. 2 groups of customers came in after us and were served drinks and main meals while we hadn’t even been asked what we would like to drink. They were half way through their toasties when I decided I’d had enough and I obviously wasn’t important enough to get service. When I told the 4 people behind the till that I was leaving and was really annoyed, they all just looked at me and the main lady (who I assume was in charge) just said ohh, no apology, nothing! I’m assuming that the management is lacking as it looked very disorganised.I drove almost 40 minutes to this restaurant thinking I would treat my partner to a lovely Sunday lunch. I won’t bother ever again! It worked out for me as I discovered a hotel in Biggar which was really nice with much better atmosphere than this over rated tourist trap!

Our first trip to Errington’s Barn since it opened and I think I’ve found my new favourite local lunch spot. The re-fit is lovely (I’m a fan of F&B neutrals!) and it has a Scandi meets country warm style. The photos are great too, you’re able to see a little bit of the farm and exactly where the fabulous cheese is made. The chef is currently developing the menu but I had a very special toastie made with sourdough bread filled with my favourite Errington cheese - Corra Linn and wild garlic pesto (foraged by Selina that very morning!) and it was really delicious and very good value. I hope, as the menu develops, the focus on local, nutritious ingredients continues. Early days, but what a great start! Looking forward to being a frequent visitor.

We went with our two dogs and to look at the new garden shop. Fiona who ran it was so knowledgeable and helpful. You can discuss your needs and as well advice, they can order the specific plants you need for you if they don't have them in stock. So friendly....highly recommended!

Quite a small menu, which is fine, but it's VERY expensive for what it is. £4.70 for a pot of tea for example. £2.40 just for a mug of tea (quite literally hot water and a tea bag). £9.95 for a toastie. We had a can of fizzy juice, a tea, scone and biscuit and it was over £17! What we had was all decent enough but it's a cafe at the end of the day and the prices are just too high. For that reason, I'll be unlikely to return and will probably carry on the extra 5 minutes to somewhere in Biggar.

Great stop off point for a breakfast, bite of lunch or just coffee and a snack. Also great little shop with gifts. Food is excellent homemade and locally sourced. Friendly service. Very popular with those in the know!

About as dog friendly as a Siamese cat Popped in as we needed a quick stop and a mention on Google said it was Very dog friendly. Apparently not so as we were not allowed in the cafe and were told we could sit outside. This was on a day that there was a yellow alert for the area regarding weather. Lots of dog walks, but nowhere to eat 🙄 A bit pointless. I'll walk the dog elsewhere.

Lovely place with great dog walking in adjacent woodland walk. Very friendly staff and excellent coffee. 👌

As a returning customer we love the Big Red Barn, their food is always first class and delicious and the staff are always friendly and happy to please. It is clean and welcoming and there is a good variety of food on offer, personally our favourites are the soup, and all the baking especially the scones and fruit slices. Enjoyed browsing the unique Scottish gifts on sale also. It’s so relaxing to wander in the grounds, and have a seat in the garden area.

We usually come here for lunch and it generally is good albeit overpriced. Today when we arrived it was takeaway only. We ordered a ciabatta and 2 sausage rolls. No frills etc and it was £19.60! This is so over priced and not worth the money. The girl who served us was miserable and it wasn’t the best experience! Way over priced and not worth the money! We sat outside while waiting on food and the smell of blocked drains was dreadful!

We have been coming here since it opened and always enjoyed the food although I don't like sugar in my cheese scone mixture. We went on Tuesday this week and the signs were as usual until we got into the car park where a notice said"takeaway only". We understand that there is a shortage of staff but we need to know what is on offer in advance so we can carry on down the road, if necessary. The breakfast roles were bacon or sausage so I asked if I could have an egg role but I couldn't even though they obviously had eggs. We couldn't understand why it was takeaway only because there seemed to be plenty of people about and we sat outside to eat our rolls. There was nothing wrong with the food but the chef/cook practically threw the rolls at us. What a shame, the barn is on a busy road between the motorway and Edinburgh, it should be buzzing at this time of year.

Although it offers a small menu selection the produce was tasty and well presented with a good selection of teas and home baking. A bit over priced for a cafe at £6.50 for a lentil soup. Nice location and will return but probably settle for a cake and coffee.

An absolute delight stumbling on this wonderful Cafe between Edinburgh and Biggar. We were on a flying visit, literally to Edinburgh and back in a day from Cheshire. With parking extremely difficult in Edinburgh, so we decided to go to Biggar instead. En route we saw the Big Red Barn, and starving as we were, decided to stop. So glad that we did as the food and the ambience was second to none. The staff were very helpful and welcoming too. There was a great choice for vegetarians (as we are) too. All food is freshly made with locally sourced ingredients, some grown on the premises. We would definitely visit again and stay a while longer, as there are acres of beautiful woodland on site to explore too. I urge everyone to go if ever you are on this road. There are plenty of road signs too, so you can't miss it.

Having passed The Barn many, many times over the years, this was my our first visit. What a lovely wee place and friendly staff. Tasty ciabatta with the best side salad I have ever had! Maybe a wee bit on the pricey side but enjoyed it all the same. Will definitely pop in next time.

Stopped by for lunch. Service was fantastic very welcoming. The place was clean, tidy and warm. Full breakfast was good for around £9 worth the money, needs baked beans adding onto the plate for sure that’s all it’s missing.

Stopped by just before closing time. The staff were very hospitable and welcoming. Beautiful tea and fruit scones. Facilities spotless.

Moved to the area recently and really looked forward to visiting! Wished I hadn’t bothered, I asked the waitress if I could have a breakfast with scrambled eggs. “Hmmm, I’ll have to speak to the chef!” The waitress came back and said.. we don’t have scrambled eggs.. Yeah, you need to scramble them.. you have eggs right?? Chef won’t do them!! Should have left there and then and went to one of the great establishments in Biggar! Exceptionally over priced and cheap cheap ingredients!! The sausages were the cheapest of the cheap!! Won’t be back!!

The Big Red Barn had become a regular stopover over the past 2 years as I regularly travel alone with my dog. My normal good experience ended Monday 19th Dec. When i arrived a member of staff told me that the only way i'd get served was to leave my dog in the carpark, order food in the cafe than id have to carry my order to the shed before going and collecting my dog from the carpark.(Previous service has always ensured that the food/drink order was brought to the shed by a friendly and helpful waitress/waiter.) The woman telling me this was particularly abrupt and unhelpful. I left without ordering to continue my journey and found a truly dog accommodating place to eat a few miles down the road.

Thank you As always the best start of our trip Great food, super friendly staff 😃 Not the first time and definitely not the last one 😜😜 🐶🧔💁‍♀️

We stopped for lunch on the way home from Edinburgh. Service was a bit slow, that mattered as we were on a long journey, otherwise couldn't fault. Food & drink both nice, staff friendly, interior clean with a nice atmosphere + a selection of interesting goods for sale.

We often take our dog for a walk and finish with something to eat at the Big Red Barn. On 25/9/22 we arrived at the cafe at 1545 (closes at 1700). As it was raining we asked to use the covered seating area, as dogs are not allowed in the cafe. We were told it was locked as they were short staffed, so we were turned away. Business lost that day and for the future. There are plenty of other places extending a warm welcome.

We headed here for a family lunch as we were staying in the area and it was a lovely venue. The staff are very pleasant and attentive and the cafe is spotless. The food was freshly prepared, delicious and homemade. Huge portions and we had...

Just been to the big red barn.First visit. Food fantastic. The home baking is to die for. Staff very friendly worth a visit.

Had been looking for somewhere new to walk our dogs and came across this online. The woods weren't the best as there was no real pathways, lots of places to go but no tracks so we only walked a little then decided to turn back....

We (foolishly) paid £10 for 2 tiny pies which turned out to have a teaspoonful of meat in each. Total rip off!

Myself and my partner popped into the cafe here as I am currently pregnant and had a real craving for pancakes. Apparently this was the only place within the Biggar area that did them, so we thought we'd give it a go! I ordered the...

There were 17 people in the cafe so quite a few conversations. As there is not a single surface which is not hard and flat, these conversations bounced and echoed around the place. Add to that the scraping of bare wood and metal chair legs...

Just popped in for a brew and everyone was very impressed. Lovely bacon and sausage buns, and one of the best scones ever. Superb service and relaxed atmosphere. Well worth a stop. We’ll be back!

Well worth a visit for the Macaroni Pies alone!!! Lovely place to stop when passing through the area.

What a fab place - delicious food and home bakes, really friendly and accommodating staff, nice gifts and in a lovely setting. Delightful visit. Will come again soon! Thank you.

Food amazing, cakes are homemade and really delicious. The staff are absolutely brilliant, we stopped for a coffee and cake on our way to Edinburgh, food was so good we decide to do the same on our way home and it didn’t disappoint!

Lovely place. Very friendly. We had a great lunch. Happily go there again. Apart from the main café area they have a wee Pie Shack. Very pleased we stopped there.

Poor quality food overpriced. Slow service. Had burger was tiny and poor quality. Came with cold fried sliced potatoes. Cakes average but overpriced. Wont be back. Menu is also very limited

Having endured awful coffee at the Tinto Hotel we dropped in here and were pleasantly surprised at the great quality cakes and the coffee. Spotlessly clean, good Covid standards, so good we went two days on the trot. Highly recommended.

A quick stop in to pick up a takeaway of one of their lovely pies. Came away with a pie, coffee, scones and some greeting cards from their nice gifts selection! Good COVID arrangements with a choice of indoor and outdoor seating.

Fab little place by the side of the main road excellent food, decent prices. Lovely ethos with adjacent woodland for walks and views, an interesting range of merchandise in their shop.The garden supplies the kitchen. Marvellous to find.

We stopped on 2 occasions for lunch on our trips to Edinburgh this summer. Both times the food was lovely, we had the panini's, pie and soup. Generous portions and nice side salads. The staff were very friendly and wearing visors and service was very efficient. On the first visit we sat in the garden which has lovely views and is very pretty and well kept. Would definitely recommend a visit.

It was nice but very expensive. £7.90 for a ciabatta - no crisps or chips. We went as a family of 3, had 5 drinks in total,3 ciabattas and 3 cakes. £44!!!!! No thanks. I won't be back.

We decided to stop for a late lunch /early dinner today 2.8.20 was really looking forward to it as several people have recommended it to me. The sign said that it closed at 4.30pm we arrived at 3.30pm my husband went in to make sure they had a table and was told that the kitchen was closed. I was so disappointed. It's put me off going back. Maybe they close the kitchen an hour before they actually close. Not really sure. Only giving 1 star which probably isn't fair as I'm sure the food would have been good if we'd been given the opportunity to try it.

A welcome change from the usual places to eat on a car journey. Home made food, freshly prepared, and even with Covid restrictions the staff were friendly and welcoming. We had the pulled pork and cheese and the haggis and caramelised onion paninis and they were great. And tea in a pot made with real tea! What’s not to like!

Have been here twice before and have always had wonderful friendly service and good food. Lots of lovely little nick nacks around the shop and delicious cakes!

My husband and I stopped here on a day out for a coffee and something to eat having never been before. We ordered our food and drinks at the counter and I paid using my card. As it was taking ages to give me a receipt I said it didn’t matter and I would get it later. Food was nice, great coffee. Then had a wander round the shops and picked up a couple of gifts and went to pay at the food counter. Different girl on till and she tried to charge me for my food again. I explained that I had already paid and she went to check. On return I was told my original payment had not gone through. So I asked for the receipt showing this. She went to check again and came back and informed me that it was in the bucket and that the girl had come and told me about this. This did NOT happen and at no point did the girl who had originally served me show her face!!!!! Won’t be back.

I was at the Big red barn with a few friends over the weekend and was not impressed at all with the food or the prices here. I had the ham and chilli jam ciabatta. It really wasn’t up to much. And found the price was expensive for what I received. I also picked up on the staff looking very robotic and not very happy with the bosses wandering about. Prices need to be brought down and more on the menu I certainly won’t be back here.

Stopped at the big red barn on journey back home from Edinburgh. Despite the service being slow to begin with, I was served a great cup of coffee and a really good breakfast roll. Would stop again if passing and in need of refreshment.

Had a lovely lunch here, the food was excellent and the selection of cakes was great. Will definitely be back.

My partner and I enjoyed a lovely lunch which was Orcandian Oatmeal Soup which was one of the best soups I have tasted in a long while. My partner also enjoyed it. We also had half a ciabatta whcih came with the soup. My filing was butternut squash with feta, cumin and chilli. Very tasty. I also had a mug of tea and we shared the carrot cake which was too die for. The staff where friendly, smiley and polite and we were served quickly even though it was busy. The over all price for lunch for 2 was very acceptable. Fab place which will always be one of my favourite places too visit. Keep up the good work

We come here as a family regularly for some time. Never disappointed, excellent choice of very tasty menu, warm friendly greeting and service. Also like range of non food stuff for sale; cards, books, etc.

On our way to visit friends and also business trip, we were aware of the place as we had stopped off for coffee on a return trip home from the far north. We had another reason to call and that was to photograph the interior, the ceiling of the place to be exact. We arrived just on opening time ordered Drinks & Food, very friendly atmospher and relaxed feel. While waiting for food we spoke to a gentleman who we presume was the owner. The conversation was about the ceiling which was quite informative, he was ok with regard to taking photographs. Our food & drinks were served, it was a very enjoyable and our food was excellent. The Big Red Barn is an good stopping off spot for food and a leg stretch, it has outside catering weather permitting (Summer Months) a Wooded walk, all in all very very nice.

A great little find. Excellent food with friendly staff. Home made sausage roll exceptional. Highly recommended.

Really friendly service, spotlessly clean and lovely cakes and pastries. Looks like there are same nice nature walks - but we were just breaking a long journey. Easy parking

Lovely Home made food and excellent service from lovely people. What a great find on a long journey, we'll be stopping here again.

Stopped off on way back from Edinburgh with my wife as just fancied a coffee and a scone. Good varied menu but expensive, it cost us over £11 for two scones and coffees which were okay but nothing memorable. Won't be rushing back anytime soon !

Dropped in here this week for lunch. Lovely soup and sandwich combo followed by a sweet treat. Always a good selection. There are lots of fairly local items on sale -nice to keep in mind with Christmas approaching. Well worth a visit.

Stopped for a quick lunch en route to Edinburgh - A702 is a very slow road, be warned. No sandwiches suitable for children. A little fairy cake for £3.30!!! Questioned this with the young girl serving - told it was gluten free so more expensive?!?! No customer service skills whatsoever. Very limited choice otherwise. Won’t be back.

Returned on our way home as such a nice visit on the way down.

Arrived here waited while before anyone came over to serveat us and food was very disappointing to say the least! My mum and myself were still hungry! We went to the little barn for something to take home a sausage roll and a pie nearly a tenner way over priced! And to be honest not that nice definitely wI'll not be returning here that's for sure.

Food was lovely - definitely recommend the sausage rolls, they’re a meal in themselves - the only thing I would say is I like a lot of sauce in pies and there wasn’t much in the chicken and leek pie, although still very tasty.

Found by accident as needed a loo stop. Now will be a regular stop with excellent menu, fresh-made food and pies. 40 minutes from Edinburgh and 20 minutes from Abington Services.

Dog friendly and friendly staff in a lovely setting. The food was Good for the price. The garden at the back was lovely to sit in in the sun

We've often passed this place but this time dropped in as we had read about it in "The Extra Mile" a great wee book about alternatives to grotty service station cafes. Had a splendid bowl of soup which was all we needed for a lunch on the road but we liked the place because it was very clean and the staff were all pleasant ant helpful. It also has a small but interesting collection of books and other goods for sale. Will definitely be back.

Have visited here several times now . Food is really good service is flawless . Always like to pop in if passing en route to Edinburgh. Interesting gifts for sale within the seating area .

Since it opened a few years ago,the Big Red Barn is now our established stop-off place en route from England to Angus, and back again.

We thought we would try The big red barn (which really is a wee shed with 9 tables..

Stopped for a coffee and it was fairly quiet mid morning. Superb flavoured coffee. Plenty of parking. The cloakrooms are close to some tables and the noise from the hand dryers is very loud.

We found this wee gem on a wee run out for my birthday.

went for lunch, soup was cold asked them to heat it up when it came back still only look warm, however my pie was ok nice and hot so 50% good.

Warmly welcomed - varied menu - locally produced - most dishes created in-house - speedily served - excellent food - went home, greatly satisfied... thank you!

Dropped in for a coffee and scones . The home baking is superb a lot of people eating outside enjoying the spring weather . We were expecting more produce on sale but it seeems to be more of a tearoom than a shop . Still plenty of people are using the place and there is plenty of parking

Stopped off on the way to Peebles attracted by the neat looking red barn.

Friendly staff, lovely grounds for a walk with the dogs. The coffee and scones were superb and the wee biscuits served with the coffee are wonderful!

A great place for stopping off at on your way be it for a coffee and a cake or lunch. The specials are always something different but always tasty! Owners and staff friendly and helpful. Nice woodland walk aswell and nice gift ideas on display.
