The Old Barn Cafe in Lancaster - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Just wanted people to know this place does not accept macmillan cards to allow you to use the toilet in an emergency, my husband was refused access to a toilet yesterday , 12th August, despite asking about the menu first and then asking for the toilet. Because his need was urgent due to his condition he just said forget it then. The owner then came out and shouted at my husband saying you've just upset a member of my staff. I explained that he was a macmillan card holder and that his need was urgent but she still didn't offer assistance, just said I haven't got time to talk to you, so we left in a hurry. We are two old age pensioners by the way.

Had intended to drop into the Red Door on our way to catch a ferrybut there was no parking so continued into Heysham. The village was a pleasant surprise and the Old Barn an excellent find. Simple food well presented and an excellent espresso! Friendly smiling staff was also a real positive.

Gorgeous coffee and beautiful baguettes all freshly made. Staff very friendly and prices were excellent value

Our first visit to Heysham to see lovely St Peters Church when we came across a lovely cafe called The Old Barn. Had a lovely warm welcome by the lady owner & had the best latte I have had in a long time! Even better than Costa! Fyi they have all types of different milks. I wld go back to Heysham just to go to this little gem & have another catch up with the lovely lady owner!

Went to the barn in heysham for lunch on a recommendation. We were there at lunchtime and only wanted a sandwich but we sat down to be told no food was available except cakes as they were too busy to make anything. It was not very busy. Only 2 tables with people in them. Will not be going again

Lovely little gem,in the midst of a beautiful village,food excellent clean,fresh and very accommodating to my fussy needs🙈 myself and my husband will be back

Nice little cafe with really nice coffee and the food was very nice too. Service was very good and very reasonably priced too We had two coffees (flat white and a latte) a banana milk shake ...two cheeseburgers and chips and a soup n sandwich deal...the soup of the day was broccoli and Stilton which was delicious ....nice selection of ice creams and they have a shaved ice machine ....we will certainly be visiting again

I asked for two coffees with plenty of milk. Was told 'what type'? - I replied just a standard coffee but with plenty of milk as I don't particularly like a strong coffee, the response was 'an americano then'. Two coffees turned up with the tiniest jug of milk even seen, the cups were so full you had to pour half away to get any milk, I had to ask for extra milk which was begrudgingly provided and it still tasted disgustingly strong. His response was that we should have ordered lattes. Thing is I didn't want a latte I wanted a standard coffee with plenty of milk - not an extreme request in my eyes. It cost £4.40 and I feel thoroughly ripped off, no apology or offer of a refund. Very, very poor service

Called in for quick lunch when we were in Heysham village. Nice fresh food, great service well served.

Called in for a coffee. Lovely cakes/scones on display all homemade. I had the coffee cake,delicious. Lovely and clean and delightful staff. Well worth a visit.

Called in for lunch today after walking from Morecambe to Heysham, and we weren't disappointed. Lots of different choices, but we opted for scampi and chips. A very generous portion and it was delicious. Great coffee too. We will be back to try the all day breakfast. Very pleasant owner.

We were excited about the breakfast for which our friends had told us lots of good things. The food was delicious, good portions, reasonably priced and very clean. The staff on duty spoilt it for us. Hence the 3 score. We arrived early Sunday just as staff were opening, we were a large party - all very hungry. From the outset staff were rude and unwelcoming. We felt we shouldn’t be there and were putting them out. We did discuss leaving as we felt so unwelcome however my friend assured us we wouldn’t find nicer food in the area so decided to stay. And the food was nice. While we were eating the owner did pop into the cafe dropping some food off and came to speak to us. She was lovely. So who is working is likely to make or break the experience. If you can ignore rude staff or time it for the owner to be there - I would recommend going.

After arriving in Heysham for a few nights break, we wandered into the village and found this café. The staff are very friendly, there seemed to be a good menu choice, although we only had coffee and cake. Both of which were excellent.

Friendly staff with a good selection on the menu. Especially good for the 'hangover' big breakfast although other choices are available. Nice location in Heysham Village so handy for little walks & The Royal Pub just up the road........... There are a few parking space outside

We were doing a walk from a book that highly recommended The Curiosity Corner Tea Rooms but for some reason they were closed so we tried the Old Barn cafe next door. Perhaps we just caught the cafe at a very busy time but it took 25 minutes before we received our food. My bacon and sausage bub contained one piece of bacon which was (and tasted) burnt and 2 sausages cut in half

What a pleasant surprise to come across this unpretentious café in Heysham. Friendly staff, sensible menu and excellent food. We will visit again.

We were only in the village for a short time and in need of refreshments went into this cafe. We had a snack of tea and cakes which were excellent. This is a lovely place with nice staff and a good menu. The place to go if you are in the area.

We called for lunch on a glorious day seeking a tasty sandwich as we were due a larger tea, and we were delighted at the result. Although we wanted sandwiches, we could not ignore the choice on the menu TO SUIT ALL DINERS! We had an egg mayo on brown, and a tuna mayo on white. they both came with a crispy salad and fresh coleslaw. The bread tasted so fresh, it could have just been baked, and the sandwich fillings were generous and lovely, as was the salad. Service was excellent, and prices were very reasonable. We will never hesitate to return as we also ate Al Fresco on a gorgeous day.

I have been to this café many of times and every time I have got something different of the menu and for every time I have gone this experience has been fantastic. the service of this café is amazing the people who works there are lovely and the food is just impeccable

There was a lot of choice on the menu and our order was taken promptly. Despite the cafe being reasonably busy, our drinks came quite quickly and we didn’t wait too long for our food, which was well presented and tasty. Good size portions. The lady serving was friendly and helpful and suggested we take a look around the local church. The area was beautiful and we had a lovely walk around the churchyard at the very edge of the sea and a tiny sandy beach.

Came here following a a long walk around Malham, ordered brews and cakes, great service and reasonably priced,.will return here again

For a small café this had a very good interesting vegetarian choice, better than some of the large chain restaurants around.

what better way to spend a bank holiday afternoon than sat outside a lovely village café with a latte and a caramac / caramel cake. Excellent value and top service.

Tenía una crema de vainilla hielo lakeland desde aquí, delicioso, no una gran variedad de sabores, pero una elección razonable

Llamado en un ajetreado día para un gran desayuno durante todo el día - señora detrás del mostrador nos explicó que sería un retraso con la comida - que había. Sin embargo ella me mantuvo a alta velocidad con el progreso e incluso me dio...

Gran café con asientos al aire libre. Sopas, bocadillos y sándwiches y mucho más. Un buen café. Parada aquí antes de embarcar en el ferry (o después).

Los mejores almuerzos en Heysham? Hemos comido aquí varias veces y nunca me ha decepcionado. Siempre una cálida bienvenida, buena elección, la comida se sirve pronto después de ordenar y qué comida! ! Muy sabrosa.

Revisar de nuevo ya que mi marido y yo siempre tienen una comida y un servicio excelente de este café.

Whilst visiting heysham for a short break with my toddler we stumbled across the old barn cafe. It looked like a small coffee shop where we could kill some time after travelling and headed in to find they have a huge menu available! They were brilliant with my sons allergies and were so friendly I felt at home! We enjoyed our meals and drinks, and we spent over an hour just enjoying the surroundings! We will be back when we visit the town again in summer!

Visited recently but walked out as the service was so slow. We entered the cafe and were in two minds as to whether we got an ice cream to take away or stay and sit down with a coffee. Either way we waited but the staff were taking so long and didn't even acknowledge us so we went elsewhere.

We are moving to Heysham in the near future so thought we would try this place out for breakfast, the staff were very friendly and made you feel a home. The food was excellent and plentiful, my wife had the vegetarian breakfast which looked amazing. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys good food and value for money. I will definitely be going back for more. Roy & Diane

Found this lovely little cafe thanks to reviews on Trip Advisor and called yesterday for something to eat while on a day out in the area. We both had the large breakfast which was absolute delicious. No grease running round the plate, very large full plates and everything cooked to perfection. Will definitely visit again when in Heysham for sure, and probably try some of the other tempting items on the menu too. Well worth the visit and prices very reasonable for the quality of the food.

Called in here and got a really nice hot chocolate. Went for the deleuax one and was like a desert. Would recommend this place for the hot chocolates. Well done.

Friendly, warm and welcoming place right in the centre of Heysham village. We ordered two of the breakfast barms and they were the best we have had and very reasonably priced. Tea and coffee were excellent and everything was nicely presented. The service was good too. We will be back here whenever we are in the area.

Came into the old barn cafe for some lunch and I felt very welcomed by the staff the food was amazing and the service and politeness of the staff was 5 star..although I was on my own they made me feel very welcome..I'll definitely be coming back and also bringing my family along to

Very friendly staff. We all had the breakfast which was very good indeed. Quick service and a good cup of tea. Price for the breakfast was 3.99 plus your tea ( sorry can't remember exact price of the tea) we will return.

it was lunch time so we called in here it had been a while since last visit I had cottage pie with gravy delicious and Ian had burger with salad and chips which he enjoyed both were well cooked and though you have a little time to wait while it is freshly prepared The owner is very nice and friendly the café is very clean and the prices very reasonable

Myself and my son popped in for lunch, we were warmly welcomed by staff given time to order, good choice of food which accommodated a vegetarian diet, the cafe was comfortable and clean and with reasonably priced food.... We shall return again! need to sample the vegetarian chilli bowl next!!!

My husband and I visited The Old Barn again on Sunday following many other enjoyable experiences here. I was pleased to see that there were some new additions to the menu- many of which took my fancy (this is not usually the case at all other establishments given that I am a very fussy eater and vegetarian). I had the halloumi wrap with chips which was delicious. My husband had the large breakfast which he thoroughly enjoyed as always. We had ice cream on the way out too (couldn't resist). You always get nice larger scoops here, unlike other places we have visited where the scoop size is stingy but the pricing is expensive. The young girl who served us was very efficient and polite.As always, we will be back for more visits in the future.

Had a big breakfast and for the second friday in a row the hash browns were burnt even after telling them not to burn them after the first time! not enough beans or mushrooms for the price and the sausages are poor quality, plus just 1 slice of toast and all for £6!! I'd expect alot better quality. It's a quid more expensive than sitting down to eat at witherspoons and you get farm house bread and Cumberland sausages there not cheep rubbish in a yellow plastic box!!!!

By far the best café in the area. Lovely and clean and excellent staff and owners. Bet coffee in Lancashire. You can sit outside when the weather is nice

Friendly staff and reasonable prices in a lovely village. Lovely comfortable little cafe, would recommend highly if in the area.

visited while having a drive out,not perfect by a long way but good honest food served by two lovely ladies......worth shot.......

Not knowing Heysham we were casting around for somewhere for lunch; were pleased to find this cafe with a good range on the menu, friendly service and reasonable prices. There are Specials and the standard menu, all good. A 'small breakfast' (at 2 pm!) was extensive, cottage pie was home made and came with extra gravy. Cakes and puddings are to try another time.

This was our second visit to The Old Barn. The first was just a flying visit for a warm drink on a cold day. My partner and I liked the feel of the place then and vowed to return. We did so a few weeks later, this time for food. As on our first visit, the welcome was warm and friendly. There was so much to choose from to eat despite it only being a small cafe and the prices are very reasonable. We chose the large breakfast and were not disappointed. There was plenty of it and the quality was excellent. We had intended to go for a walk after our food but we were too full! We did however manage an ice cream to finish off though! Next time we are going to try the mouth watering home-made cakes. They all look divine. The couple who run the cafe are very friendly too. All in all it's a place we would highly recommend and we will certainly become regulars as we are often in the area.

What a fantastic little cafe. So clean and such a friendly place. The food is amazing and to mention just a couple, the breakfast is huge and freshly cooked, and also the cheese and onion pie is to die for. And also nearly forgot the home made cookies. If your looking for a home cooked meal in a friendly family cafe, then make your way to Heysham village, and enjoy

We have been here for breakfast lots of times, as a couple and when we have guests to stay and everyone agrees the food is excellent and always a warm welcome. Can't ask for anything more.

I went to the Old Barn Cafe for breakfast over the Easter weekend with my family and friends, we all had either the big breafast or the smaller one and we all enjoyed every mouthful!! The staff were lovely and welcoming, we will be definately going back in the near future!!!

We had been recommended to use this cafe and were grateful for this, as we went for breakfast and it was lovely. A family run cafe where everything is cooked fresh, all homemade and definitely worth the wait. We have also experienced their delivery service of freshly made cookies and a family sized pie, which were simply delicious. To sum it up - friendly staff, great service and amazing food - you couldn't ask for better. A must for anyone wanting a hearty breakfast or an afternoon tea.

Visited this amazing cafe today, lovely warm welcome, friendly service and food is second to none. ..... my first visit of many. Thank you ☺

We called in at 1330 for a quick spot of lunch. I went for the full english breakfast and my wife went for a baked potatoe. Service was pretty quick, the food was great, wouldn't hesitate in returning.

Stopped here for a coffee and a light bite. The coffee and the toasted tea cake were good and the staff were friendly and helpful. I'd go again!

We have visited The old barn café on a few occasions and every time we have been really pleased with the food and the service. We would highly recommend for excellent food and it is great value for the money.

Lovely,freshly cooked food with lovely friendly staff and at a bargain price. The cakes are also freshly baked on the premises.

Stopped for lunch and enjoyed fish and chips with mushy peas (loved them). Also tasted the hamburger and it too was lovely. Staff couldn't have been nicer. Would done here again. Give it a try!!Carpe diem!!!

This was our first visit here but certainly won't be our last. The service was warm and friendly, the food was cooked to perfection and beautifully presented. We also bought some cakes to bring away which were delicious. A little gem of a cafe. 10/10.

this is an excellent place to eat th food is excellent and the staff are very polite and very welcoming will definaltelly be going back again.

We stopped of for lunch and found this little place where the staff go out of their way to accommodate every request

Had a panini and a coke here last weekend, coke tasted a bit odd but assumed they were serving off brand. The panini was chucked together and so we decided to chalk it up to experience and avoid in future. Today we were back in Heysham with my inlaws and they wanted to go here (based on the good reviews) I wasn't that mad on the plan but agreed. This time, i decided to ask for 2 bottles of pop rather than glasses to avoid getting what I assumed was the off brand type... the bottles came and tasted just as bad as the previous week - confused i examined them closer - they expired December 2014. When I turned to point this out to the staff they looked decidedly uncomfortable so I can only assume that they were aware that the drinks were out of date they were taken away and replaced with 2 that were good until September 2015 which is at least a future date. I should have waiting till our food came before pointing this out as the bacon sandwiches we ordered were burned to charcoal to the point the bread was stained black and so unappetising that I was unable to eat mine. I will never ever eat here again and would strongly reccomend avoiding at all costs.

Visited here today after a cafe I was originally going to go to go was closed, my mum, grandma, grandad and little sister came to visit me and I wanted to take them for lunch and we were torn between this place and theplace next door. We decided here because the seating arrangments were better for us all. Having ordered food there was an ever slight delay in actually getting the food but this was totally understandable with the number ofstaff there at the time. Food arrived and very well presented served hot and the quality was amazing! I would most certainly recommend this place to anyone who's looking for either a light meal or quick bite to eat. Will be visiting again soon!

Very friendly staff, good range of food from cooked breakfast to home made cakes. Happy to meet customers requests

Lovely friendly staff but the quality of the food is below average , I was on business trip and only got trip advisor to guide me through eatery in this area. I ordered burger and to my shock it was much worse than I ever imagined dry bun dry pattie and cheap processed cheese slice ... at least could have used a normal cheddar cheese slice to give some flavour. The salad was freshly chopped must afmit rather they added some dressing to make it salad rather chopped vegetables. Sorry lovely lady in the cafe your food was not great I hope your cakes are as described on trip advisor I just didn't want to risk another disappointment.

We found this gem of a place whilst on holiday and had a delicious lunch, The family that run it are very friendly and the place is very popular. There is a varied menu with snacks and main meals. Prices are very reasonable and please leave room for one of the homemade cakes - too good to miss!! Please go if you are visiting Heysham

We live local and have had the odd drink/ice cream with the kids before but had lunch here on Sunday. Great price and portions, will definitely eat here again. The girl was very helpfull and polite aswell.

Excellent family run cafe in Heysham village. Very reasonable prices in comparison to other cafes I have visited in the local and surrounding areas. Great staff and lovely little cafe with a very cosy feel. The menu was very good, with plenty to offer and suited my vegetarian preferences. The homemade cakes are delicious. Would definitely recommend to people visiting Heysham.

having visited this café in the summer my son and I visited again just before Christmas. I did think it would be easy to find a seat but more people seemed to be in the café than the rest of the village. we had two half breakfasts and they were brilliant. just the job before a walk down the prom. great service, great valve and superb quality. I cant fault the old barn

Can't faukt this little cafe, service was great. Gave us a run down of the local produce and accommodated us on a request not on the menu. Food was very tasty and reasonably priced

This was our third visit to the café. I ordered a full English breakfast, minus the tomato and one black pudding. There was no reduction in price, but that was my choice. My wife ordered a cheese and bacon Panini. The waitress said she didn't know the cost. The cook stuck his head through the hatch and said they had never been asked for this before and he would need to work out a price.He suggested we ate and then he would tell us the price. I should have dug my heels in at that point, but thought what could go wrong. We ate our food - my toast was like cardboard - the hardest I have ever had, but the rest was fine. When I went to pay, I was informed that the Panini was £5.75. I queried this as their menu said from £4.50 with a choice of fillings. I asked what the cost of a plain Panini was and was told £4.50. I again queried this and was told that it was £4.50 with one item of filling. I asked what the cost of an extra filling was (cheese and bacon are optional fillings) and was told - £0.50. I pointed out that I had been charged £1.25 extra for an extra filling. He said I was confusing the price of extras with the breakfast menu. I said that bacon or cheese should be the same cost wherever it went. I also pointed out that it was he who told me the price of extras was £0.50.He did not appear to comprehend. I said that I was very unhappy and regarded this as a shoddy practice. I said that I had previously given them a glowing report on this site, but would post another reflecting this occasion. He said he was sorry, but seemed to regard the issue as closed.The sum of £0.75 will not affect my future nor damage my bank account, but we will never set foot in the place again. That is a shame as we had previously been more than happy. I just don't like poor customer service.If you are visiting - check the price before eating.

I order from these guys every Friday when I'm at work for myself and my colleagues, great food, fast delivery, great service!

Visiting relatives in Heysham and deciding to go out for lunch quick check of trip advisor and came across your lovely little cafe. Friendly staff, lovely food, decent portions and scrummy cakes what more could you ask for. Keep up the good work guys. We'll certainly be back soon!!

After washing and shopping and visiting the allotment I once again popped in to enjoyed a half breakfast (the half breakfast is a plate full and I doubt I could manage a full one) and it was only 10:30 am. I don't usually eat locally but when I do I love to visit this cafe where I have always been made to feel welcome (which I find even more important when eating alone). I am going to be housebound over the next few weeks and so looked and took away samples of their Take Away Menu for future treats. These were soup, quiche, lasagne (yet to be sampled), egg custard (for an elderly neighbour (I am waiting her review) and last but not least the smoothie (which helped maintain my energy levels mid afternoon - was delicious and even better than ones I make myself). Thank you to Jenny, Jamie and Heather for creating a delightful oasis. This review was written a couple of weeks ago = I called again yesterday for a lovely meal a couple of meals to take away for myself and neighbours'. This time I dined with a friend but once again first class.

Four of us visited today for lunch. It isn't the largest restaurant but there are enough seats inside and out. The lady who took our order said that there might be a slight delay, due to the orders already placed. We were grateful that she was honest, rather than keep us in the dark. Any doubts proved groundless as the food arrived in a very reasonable time. The four of us all had different orders, but individually agreed that the portions were on the generous side. The food was fresh and very tasty. I personally had the all day breakfast - mentioned in another contributor's entry - it was as good as they said. I also have to agree about the amount of food. I have a decent appetite, but had to admit defeat. I left one black pudding and a couple of tomatoes. I just did not have any room left. Every single item was excellent, but I have to single out the bacon as even better. The people who run the place are just about as helpful as anyone could wish for. They maintain a spotless establishment, where good old fashioned customer service rules.I am not one to lavish unnecessary praise, but it would be remiss of me not to mention their prices. I was frankly amazed at the low prices. I have been to cheaper places, but never one of this standard, at such a low cost. We will certainly be returning and would recommend others give the place a visit.

We stopped here for refreshments in the middle of a long walk, so did not sample the grub. But I watched the other diners demolishing fish & chips, big breakfasts and Spanish omelettes and it all looked great!The welcome was warm and genuinely friendly - the lady in charge (the mother of the co-owner) remembered us from two or three years ago. A happy place!We will return soon.

We called for lunch here after a lovely beach walk with our dogs nearby. There is outdoor seating, and parking spaces immediately in front of the cafe. It was a lovely day, so we ate outside, leaving our dogs in the car with the tailgate open only a few feet away. The cafe is very quaint, very clean, and there is a decent menu. When I asked what sandwiches were available, the lovely lady serving said 'pretty much anything you like!' I had a lovely ham on brown, with a crispy fresh salad and homemade salad cream/chopped veg, it was delicious. My Wife had fried eggs on toast which were cooked perfectly. My coffee was delicious, and my Wife had a pot of green tea. It was a lovely experience, and only cost £10.00. If we are ever back in the area, I would not hesitate to re-visit.

Had the half all day breakfast which was about nine items all hot and tasty. It's the only place for breakfast in heysham

All I can say is what a cracking breakfast we had this morning excellent food,excellent service would highly recommend

Called in yesterday for lunch and it was lovely! Only complaint is that the children's meals were too big! Unfortunately they were over faced by the amount on their plates- would order 1 between 2 next time.

My family and I often nip to the old barn whether it be for the BEST breakfast around, an amazing icecream or a delicious lunch. The service is great, prices are very reasonable and I would certainly recommend!

having watched this small family run establishment grow from humble beginnings during the last couple of years it was a pleasure to treat my guests to a classic breakfast there last weekend. the quality of the food, the service and the atmosphere that creates was that good we had to return the following morning for more of the same. It wasn't a fluke, same quality and service. I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough

Every so often I decide to torment my stomach. I let it get to the gently rumbling condition and allow its digestive juices to bubble away with nothing to go to work on. Then I look for an eatery with a good reputation locally and on Trip Advisor.I enhance the sweet torture by going to a place that cooks it to order. The Old Barn at Heysham, pushes all the buttons. Okay, the wait seems long when you`re hungry, but good things will always be worth waiting for. As much as is humanly possible, everything seems to be cooked on the premises. The food is excellent and the service is efficient and friendly.It couldn`t be more different to the pub/restaurant chains that sell food that has been warming up for hours, to create a beautifully dry, bland and withered `meal` and all for the highly appropriate sum, of £5.99 for three courses. The Old Barn scores highly on food quality, meal size, taste and value for money. If anyone goes for three courses, then they are greedy or foodaholics. I thought that I was one, but two courses filled me up. Hang it all, I intentionally went in hungry, just to be able to have three courses !!At a cafe with a five star cleanliness rating with good food at the right price, I would urge any hungry hunter to visit this establishment.

I stopped in to the Old Barn Cafe looking for Wifi and Filter Coffee. The staff was very friendly and the decor was nice yet casual.

The Old Barn is a lovely cafe, ideally placed at the end of a promenade walk or cycle ride from Morecambe to Heysham. The cakes are home made and we were made so welcome. The coconut sponge cake was fantastic. The Old Barn has a loyalty card and our card will quickly fill up. We will return soon.

Stumbled across this little cafe today , sat outside with our dog , the staff are very friendly and the food is all home made . My partner had the half breakfast ( which was a plate full !) and I had the Spanish omelette with salad and a large pot of tea for 2 . It was great food and priced very reasonably . The home made lasagnes had just come out of the oven and looked and smelled fantastic ! We were so impressed we bought a piece of asparagus and cheese flan and a piece of millionaires shortbread to take home . Well worth a visit !

Walked over from Morecambe last Sunday, it opens at 10.00am and the 3 ish mile along the prom is a good way to be ready for breakfast.They do a light breakfast which doesn't over face you.. bacon, egg, sausage, mushroom, tomato, black pudding, beans and toast.. One of everything, and the bacon is bloomin' lovely.Two breakies with two brews, (one a proper coffee) was £10.45.We sat outside as we had our dogs with us, (not sure if dogs are allowed inside).

After a walk along the sea front and through Heysham village, Mum and I had worked up an appetite. We decided to eat at "The Old Barn" as its' appearance was fresh, clean and airy. The menu is varied and we both chose home-made steak pie which was served with a puff pastry lid, chips and peas. The steak was plentiful and tender and the chips were crispy and dry. We had a little wait but that's to be expected when food is home made and "freshly" prepared. We both agreed what a tasty meal we had had and said we would definitely eat there again. The the waitress was pleasant and efficient and so too was the owner/chef who showed genuine interest in wishing to learn if we'd enjoyed our meals. I felt the urge to write this review as "The Old Barn" deserves a pat on the back!

Waiting for the ferry to the Isle Of Man, we went to Heysham village to avoid sitting in the ferry port and stumbled across the old barn. The epitome of average, there's nothing that hits you when you enter: blandness rules. The cakes and coffee we had were tasty. The scone I had was huge, unfortunately the jam and butter that went with it were from packets. This place has potential, it needs to grasp it to survive.
