The Barn Cafe Dorset: Reviews & Ratings
My daughter gave me a voucher for mothers day, we had a cream tea, the sandwiches where amazing, the scones defiantly the best I have tasted for many years, the cupcakes and chocolate brownies didn't disapoint. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming as were the staff. Looking at the amazing food that was coming from the kitchen, we will definitely be visiting again. If you don't want to be disappointed make sure you book, I can imagine it will only get busier as the weather warms up.
Fantastic food and great portions, I can see why it has so many great reviews. The staff were really friendly and helpful. It gets busy very quick, so you may have to wait (or book), we didn't have to wait but noticed a few did have a little wait while we were there. We sat outside, under cover. They have amazing heaters that kept us warm, despite us not sitting near the heaters so although the weather was miserable outside, it didn't affect our stay. Food selection was great. Bring your appetite as the portions were a good size, plus they have so many amazing cakes to choose from. Only down side is they don't have a kids menu, I don't think they necessarily need a separate menu, just maybe smaller portions for little tummies. It didn't affect us however as 4yo is autistic & has to have specific packed lunch, 9yo enjoyed the ham & cheese panini (pic shows half his panini as he enjoyed it so much). I would love it if they did a variety platter with the cakes, it was so hard to choose from! I had the meat quiche of the day & Jamie Dodger desert (I was stuffed and had to take some home) while hubby had omelette plus sides and 4yo had summer berious slice for dessert! It was a great afternoon out
Always delicious. Service is quick and stuff is friendly. Just a very lovely place anytime of the year.
In a world where car parks charge for disabled people to park, where car park operators fine you for dropping disabled clients home.....we had came by this place whilst burning some time. The owner couldn’t be more helpful by allowing us to park front of house, to afford our disabled clients safe access. The afternoon tea and cake was delightfully and the service top notch
We hired the shiny new venue, The Little Barn, for a family function last weekend & had the honour of being the first event to be held there. We were blown away with the events space, the service & the food. The Little Barn has been beautifully decorated, the little vases of flowers on the tables were a lovely touch & there was plenty of space for our party of 18. The selection of food from the deluxe buffet was excellent - including the veggie options - all the food tasted amazing & there was plenty of it, great value for money. The staff on the night were wonderful, friendly, nothing was too much trouble & I can honestly say that from start to finish, organising our family event was made all the more easier thanks to Sophie, the events coordinator/organiser. A huge thanks to the team for helping to make a memorable birthday celebration that all the family enjoyed!
A really great place, love the decor. Breakfast was excellent, lots of choice and cooked perfectly. We were served by Kelly who gave absolutely brilliant customer service, Thank you, we will definitely come again.
Nice place for a family meal. Nice sandwiches and quiche. Large selection of teas, cakes too Would recommend booking though. Staff are nice, friendly and efficient.
Popped in for lunch on a weekend. Staff were very accomodating with our dog and super friendly. Decent menu and food presented beautifully, especially for the price! Our only issue was a distinct lack of chicken when we paid extra for it in a Caesar salad. Otherwise, highly recommended.
