Went for breakfast on the 7/1/24, our first time visiting. Friends had recommended and they took us to check it out. Lovely restaurant in a beaju garden centre. 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.Put this place on your Breakfast/Brunch bucket list 9.5/10

Very nice garden centre that is well laid out with good plants. Has a nice coffee shop, but you may need to book a table if you want to sit inside, at peak times. That says it all as far it's concerned.Vegetarian options: Had vegetarian breakfast. Good wholesome tasty food.

Beautiful little café/garden centre - a bit too expensive in a time where we're in a cost of living crisis but definitely worth going to as a treat now and again. I must say the cakes are absolutely fabulous!

Just outstanding, great value, amazing service and beautiful atmosphere! What’s not to like. ? We popped in for a breakfast and chat and the service is so good. Would strongly recommend the full breakfast, the vegan and veggie options are outstanding too.Vegetarian options: Vegan and veggie options and they are very tasty ?

I visited today with my son for breakfast and I have to say it was one of the best, if not THE best breakfasts I have had. Absolute credit to the chef and staff. My son had the American pancakes and said these were also superb. I should note I have visited here before and sampled the BLT which was also great, my daughter tells me the scones are excellent too, coming a close second behind her mums!

We had a lovely breakfast, although a little slow. However it would be great if the staff occasionally smile or be welcoming. On arrival, a smile and welcome, rather than feeling we've ruined somebody's day by our arrival. To be honest, that set the time for the whole visit. I don't understand, serving lots of people well cooked, good quality ingredients is the tricky bit, not the smiling at customers

The the right of the entrance door has a sign saying 'Assistance dogs only'. Shame as there is plenty of space for well behaved pups

Just had a really delicious roast Sunday lunch at Barn Cafe. The food was well cooked, the service friendly and the atmosphere busy and cheerful. We will certainly return.
