The Great Barn Restaurant

The 'restaurant ' was nothing more than a coffee bar. The soup on offer was most uninteresting and the food was mainly 'scones? ' I do not have high expectations of National Trust catering despite that, we were very disappointed. Fortunately we lived less than half an hour away so returned for a decent hot snack having forgone our intending visit.

Awful attitude from staff and service. Everything too much trouble and an inconvenience for the staff. Will not recommend

Initially called for a drink before looking around. The tea was good but the latte was half froth if not more. They had no tea spoons so I asked and some were brought out but looked like they had not been cleaned. I pointed this out and the girl looked at me blank. Called in for lunch the jacket potato with cheese was pitiful and the. Chilli wasn't any better. Once again the latte was 65% froth even when asked to remake. In future I'll eat elsewhere or spend my £19÷ on a picnic feast. Sorry but not impressed at all.

Visited here this morning Saturday 28th August 2021 with wife, daughter, her hubby and 4 year old grandson. We were early and it wasnt very busy . Taking the order for us and the same with the lady in front took ages. The staff behind the counter one being the supervisor didnt seem to know what they were doing. We sat down with our drinks and seemed ages for the toast to arrive, there was a whole slice missing so another wait of a couple of minutes. We were given one knob of butter for 2 slices of toast which isnt enough so i had to go to the counter again. wasnt impressed at all and will ot use again. also the price was very expensive

Stopped here for a spot of lunch Had a nice pea and mint soup with bread, washed down with a pot of tea. My partner had pork pie and salad. Both were tasty. Service was good, but it got very busy later with a queue reaching outside the building.
