I have been to this place countless times and have always had a good experience however, I went this week to meet a friend with our 2 7month old babies. Most of the staff are always friendly apart from the man that owns it. I’ve noticed on a few occasions that he seems incredibly hostile and frosty.After being in there for about 1.5 hours (purchased 2 drinks each) he made it very clear that he didn’t want us to be there. He asked my friend to move her push chair outside into the porch even though it was cold wet and windy. We would understand if the place was busy but there were only about 4 other tables occupied. He then went on to say we were blocking the doors and tables. Which we were not at all. He then moaned about us to another member of staff (wife?) although he didn’t know, that was actually in earshot and we even saw his wife look over and say ‘shh’ to him as she was obviously aware that we could see. This made us feel extremely uncomfortable. As young mums taking new babies out, it is often quite an anxious experience and this just made our experience horrible. Unfortunately both of us said we won’t be coming back here. In our opinion this particular man does not seem to make the place feel ‘child friendly’ at all which is a massive shame because everyone else in there does. A lovely place with lovely coffee, food and staff but unfortunately completely let down by the male owner.

We visited for lunch with some friends on a Friday. The owner was very friendly and welcoming and there was a very good choice of food. We had toasted sandwiches and potato skins, both served with a side salad, then another coffee and cake.The food was delicious, great atmosphere and the owner was very helpful with our allergy questions.I would thoroughly recommend, and we'll definitely visit again.

Hidden Uckfield gem! Can’t wait to return! A faultless experience; highly recommend. And the ban on remote working was a bonus!

The entire menu at coffee barn is one of the best examples of quality food and ingredients you could find. This topped with the impeccable service, makes this café a must go to. The interior is so inviting and makes you feel welcome. Your visit will be the first of many.

We were looking for somewhere for lunch and found the Coffee Barn. There is a great choice of hot and cold snacks/meals and also cakes, scones, and sausage rolls. We both had toasted sandwiches which were tasty and served with a salad garnish. The coffee is good (including decaf). The staff were friendly and efficient and there is a nice atmosphere. Would definitely visit again if we were in the area.

Had a nice pit stop lunch here on a weekend away trip, the staff were extremely friendly and the outside seating area was the perfect spot for the food. If in the area again, I would defiantly
