The Barnyard Cafe - Carta

Went for lunch and ordered a Jacket Potato costing £7.00. I was so SMALL it was a joke !!!’ About the size of a lemon. How they can charge £7.00 for that is disgusting. So if your hungry do NOT order a Jacket

Had a couplse of toasties the other day when shopping at the farmshop. They were very good and used bread sold in the shop, a tasty wholemeal. Seems to be a popular meeting place for mothers with young children, nice play area for the kids.

First visit but wow it wont be the last. Vanilla Latte was best for some time plus Coffee and Walnut cake was to die for, very fresh. We didnt have much time, only a flying visit but will certainly return for full meal. Great selection. Very friendly staff. 10/10 Ver carta

What a tasty breakfast! Full English, delicious sausage and bacon and poached eggs on point! Really tasty and good value at £7.50. By the time we left, lunch was being served and some of the salads looked so good that I wanted to stay and try one except I was too full!

The food hall is a good place to shop as it has a range of foodstuff you don't normally see in supermarkets. It is pleasant after shopping to go and have a coffee/tea and something to eat. We have never had a full meal there though there is a comprehensive menu. The building is a little rural but this adds to its charm. Staff are friendly.

Stopped in for breakfast as traffic was bad. Ordered the Barnyard breakfast. Beans were cold, hash brown was soggy, mushrooms were old, sausage was burnt. The eggs were well cooked. Overall a pretty rubbish breakfast and clearly cooked by someone who doesn’t know what they are doing. A real shame as it’s a lovely building and surrounding area. Ver carta

There were 5 of us in all. We had an excellent breakfast. Probably spent £8-9 per head including drinks. The cafe is actually in the grounds of a farm and the entrance is just on the Ongar side of the bridge that goes over the A12' Although it was well-directed on the Sat-nav, there is no sign at the entrance. You will see a sign for the cafe about 200 yards up the farm entrance.

When we received the bill, we noticed an extra charge for the milk. Upon questioning this, we were informed that we were given oat milk because the waitress thought that's what we had requested. After speaking with the owner, she apologized and voided the charge. However, we have decided not to return due to the miscommunication with some of the staff regarding customer preferences. Additionally, we observed that some waitresses were diligently disinfecting surfaces, but two separate staff members cleaned the tables without attending to the chairs.

After visiting the farm shop, we decided to stop by for a quick coffee at The Barnyard. We were seated promptly and decided to order some food after seeing how delicious it looked on other tables. We ordered a Bacon sandwich on granary bread and 2 poached eggs on granary toast. The service was quick and the staff were attentive and polite. The sandwich was fresh and filled with thick slices of delicious bacon. The poached eggs were outstanding, with a perfectly cooked yolk on top of buttery toast, adorned with pea shoots and cherry tomatoes. We were also impressed with the quick service of our Latte and Americano, which arrived piping hot. The Barnyard is spotlessly clean and we felt safe wi... Ver carta
