The Barn At Swinfen @ Heart Of The Country

We visited on Easter Sunday after struggling to find anywhere that was open for breakfast. Upon arrival we were offered the option of sitting inside or out, so we sat out in the beautiful courtyard area. Service was prompt and the coffee was good. We had a full English and chorizo eggs Benedict. The food was sublime, well presented and good size portions for the price. We’ll absolutely be returning. Laura, the person that owns The Barn was lovely and has put a lot of effort into ensuring customers receive the best experience. Loved it!

Fantastic afternoon tea for friends 50th. Dietary requests fully met and super service. Definitely visiting again. Thank you.

I came a couple of weeks ago with a friend and had a fantastic experience at The Barn. Really smooth service and friendly and accommodating staff. I had an eggs benedict whilst my friend opted for a club sandwich - the all day breakfast is a great idea, there was so much choice! I will definitely be returning and would recommend.

A pleasant looking, small cafe, with pleasant staff. But the extraordinarily long waiting time for items off the limited menu, made the visit stressful and disappointing. So can't recommend.

I visit this cafe frequently and have always received excellent service and high-quality food. The staff are very friendly and make my experience exceptional. The main dishes and latte I have had were both excellent. The cafe is also beautifully decorated and has a welcoming atmosphere. I plan to return and highly recommend this cafe to anyone seeking a enjoyable meal and top-notch service.

Would never go here again. Had a table for 4 at 12.30. Ordered 3 latte coffees, one juice cordial, 3 breakfasts and one burger with hallumi. We had bad feelings after waiting for 15 minutes and no drinks appearing. They finally arrived at 13.00 after sitting on the kitchen worktop for 10 minutes. The waitress served them holding the rim of the glass with her bare hands and heavily painted nails. They came without sugar although we ordered it. The waitress told us our meals would take a while because of the extra thick meat on the burger. In between time, we were amazed to see one of the staff happily occupying one of the tables to peal a large amount of pears. She did so in some kind of slow motion, not a care in the world. In fact, it seemed like none of them had. They all pottered around looking lost, dropping food on the floor and in general unprofessional. Finally, at 13.30 the first meal appeared on our table. It was the burger with hallumi. The beef was at least half the size the waitress described and soon after my daughter was in tears because she could not pick it up. The sauce looked like it had been thrown on and was running all down the bap and on the plate. She left half the meal. Our all day breakfasts finally arrived ( very appropriate wording here because you wait all day for them to arrive). My daughter works in a high class restaurant and she was gobsmacked at some of the things she witnessed both health and safety wise and customer care. All in all the meals were basic and we effectively paid £65 for low quality food and terrible service.

Lunch at the barn today was amazing, five of us went, all had different choices and everything was beautiful, great value for money, great service. Would definitely recommend

Lovely atmosphere superb and very friendly service from the staff and fantastic food, could have stayed all day as we where made so welcome will definitely be coming again.
