Proper pub serving Proper pub food good selection of beer

Not impressed. It was 1pm at the end of a walk -we decided to get coffees and snacks. Being vegan, we’re limited but were made up there were choices! There was a sign at the entrance to the cafe blocking the way but didn’t investigate. We probably would rather sit inside. Not sure why that was closed - even if it was. Its the Easter holidays. Lovely day so we went to the back to the window hatch and would sit outside. Ordered three vegan sausage balms and coffee. Server said she’d have to check and man came up and said ‘no no no its far too late for breakfast now.’ I hadnt realised this was breakfast. He offered nothing more and was dismissive so we just came away and they lost around £20 sale. Need to be more accommodating, especially for people with limited diets.….but we wont be going back.

Not eaten here before, we had been out for the day and needed feeding this came up on Google search. We hadn’t booked but they did find us a table for 2. We both had roasts hubby had beef, I had a children’s vegetarian mushroom wellington. All food very nice, as were the staff we encountered. Good value for money. A very busy day for the staff as the weather was gorgeous. If in the area again I am sure we would pop in

Amazing food, great service from both bar and restaurant staff - a little on the pricier side, but you fully get what you pay for here.

Visited for my birthday meal on 9 March. Food was outstanding and service from Gareth was fantastic. He looked after us really well. Would highly recommend.

Disappointing visit. First drink (scotch) provided in an extremely well worn, scratched, dull glass. Main course was very good and up to expected standard. Dessert was supposed to be ‘cheesecake’. It was a square of slightly stiff, soggy bottomed mousse! Inedible, the waitress said ‘sorry, about that’. It should have been refunded or an alternative offered. Final drink ordered, never arrived and wasn’t on the bill either.. so it had been overlooked completely! Overall a disappointing experience.

Great family pub. Brilliant service.we were a large party with 5 children. Food was great service was even better. Prices were family friendly too.

Disappointing breakfast. Asked for scrambled egg but what came was unlike anything I had seen before. Breakfast swimming in grease not premium products.

Nice old pub but food came in the wrong order starters after mains? Portion sizes not the best tasty food but who serves 1/2 a chicken fillet. We had heard great reviews about the places but I do not think we will be returning, bit disappointing.

Went for tea on a Saturday. No booking, just turn up. Staff very helpful and a great service. Photos on next visit.

Not very impressed with the Barn today. They have really let it go. It opened at 10am, we got there at 10.30am. It was freezing!!! Warmer outside!!! Ordered 2x toasted tea cake and coffees. It was cold and over cooked, butter frozen. How can you mess such an easy order up??? ☹️ The toilet had a full bin, come on. 😱

A bit mean with the food , what was served was delicious but not enough, brilliant dog treats and the staff are so lovely and friendly
