Reviews Overview
Most Liked
The standout feature at The Ploughman's Barn is undoubtedly the coffee. Many patrons rave about the quality, stating it's one of the best places locally to grab an Americano. The outdoor seating area is a favorite, especially on warm days, offering a serene spot to enjoy a meal. Customers appreciate the extensive menu, with highlighted dishes like the Mars Bar Cookie and the hearty breakfasts, including the Ploughman’s Breakfast. Friendly and prompt service adds to the overall pleasant experience, making repeat visits a certainty for many.
Most Disliked
Some diners report that the café can get a bit chilly, especially by the door, as it frequently opens for staff. A few have suggested sitting further inside or near the fire for a cozier experience. On busy days, wait times can extend, particularly during peak lunch hours, which might deter those looking for a quick bite. Additionally, the stone parking lot can pose challenges for motorcyclists, so caution is advised when entering or exiting.

Hi
Hillari-Anne
I had my first experience here recently so here are my first thoughts. First of all it is spacious, and the service is excellent. The food is tasty and fresh. I would certainly visit again especially as it is next to the excellent farm shop. A tip I would give is to avoid sitting in the line of the door as it is understandably open on a regular basis for the staff so it can get chilly. It is best to sit further down where apparently there is a fire?

A good friend recommended I try this place so popped in for a breakfast snack. Friendly staff, clean premises, plenty of parking. I can thoroughly recommend the Mars bar Cookie! 😋 Will come again for lunch next time. If coming on a motorbike, note the car park is stones, not tarmac, so be careful riding in.

Another good find. Called in for some lunch. Very prompt friendly service. Good selection of fair including some really good sassauge, best I have had in a while. My wife's sandwiches came with a lovely coleslaw, salad and crisps. Very generous. Lovely outdoor seating area. Wheelchair acessable to all areas complete with an accessible WC. Also a decent farm shop and garden centre. Farm shop included a butchers who evidently know what they are doing, aged steaks looked very good. Thoroughly reccomend. Will go again.

The Ploughman's Barn which I believe is a working farm randomly appeared on my Facebook page, so ladies that lunch on a Monday ( daughter & myself) decided to visit and it was certainly worth it. There is a small farm shop with wonderful fresh produce including meat, a well stocked garden centre where I actually managed to find a yellow rambling rose which I had been looking for, for months to replace one which had died. For the children- guinea pigs, rabbits, budgies, hens, miniature goats and donkeys. The cafe was excellent with choice of eating indoors or out. Very clean, excellent service, friendly staff and the food was delicious. Well done keep up the good work, we will definitely visit again.
