    The food was great and reasonably priced. We had a girlie lunch outside and it was lovely. The only downside was not being informed about the 1hr 30min time slot, we ordered hot drinks for after our lunch only to be told by the not very “polite” staff that we needed to leave the table in 5 minutes. With a full pot of tea and it still being too hot to drink we had to ask for take away cups so we could actually finish our tea on our way home! Not really acceptable..... Staff were actually overall quite rude and standoffish!!! Shame really as the food was really good, I won’t be returning anytime soon!

    The Barn is a really good place to have breakfast or lunch, with friendly staff, good quality food and a relaxing environment. The garden centre is also well worth a visit.
