The girls in the cafe are so lovely and welcoming. We are regular customers as the food and the staff are so good. They know what drinks we have and they serve one of the nicest lattes I have ever had. Can recommend all the sandwiches, wraps and salads they never disappoint.

A great, simple but enjoyable cafe serving hot and cold drinks plus a wide variety of breakfast, lunch and light food options. My son and I had mushrooms and stilton on toast (pictured) which was very enjoyable.

Came with my client and my friend. Highly popular tearoom. Great choice and fab service from friendly staff. Convenient and of course the farm shop is there too. Worthy of multiple visits.

The food has always been lovely at the Barnyard Cafe, and the staff are friendly and polite. Highly recommend a visit - even though I selfishly don't want it to get too popular!! It has a lovely relaxed country cafe atmosphere. Perfect for mums after the school drop off, or for an informal business meeting. If you go, it is worth then going to the farm shop (Calcott Hall Farm) as you can find some fresh fruit and veg, our favourite butcher, a good cheese counter and a fresh fish counter.

Great for lunch, food was nice, quick service

As usual, very good food and atmosphere. Service is friendly and our waitress remembered my wife not eating on a previous visit and was concerned for her. Nice touch.

We live in Sydney Australia and we was very impressed with this English cafe ,great food great service.

Unfortunately we arrived a touch too late for lunch but had lovely coffee and cakes. The environment is classy and chilled, with sufficient staff levels to ensure nobody waits.
