Had breakfast here, which was pretty average. Bacon that I got served hasn't seen much heat and was really unappetizing. Cafetiere coffee was under brewed or they just didn't add enough of it. On the upside, the location is beautiful and service was good. Don't think we'll be coming back for breakfast, but might try their lunch at some point.

Wow wow wow. I can’t put into words how much you guys absolutely took my breath away. Everything was so perfect, and I genuinely could not have asked for more from you all! Belle, beautiful Belle. Nothing was ever too much. No task too big or too small. From calming my nerves to fluffing my train, Belle was there with her shining smile, reassuring me every second of the way. Belle you were nothing short of an angel on my wedding day, what a blessing you are! And Tee, bless her heart! Running back to the dressing room to get my perfume when I was seconds from walking down the aisle as I had completely forgotten to spray it! You absolute angels!!! Nothing I can do will be thanks enough for you guys, from Grace being our port of call when planning, to Kirstie and Jo answering my never-ending questions, to Belle and Tee on the day, walking me into my married life with such elegance! The catering team watching me walk down the aisle and singing to my song (I loved it) and of course providing the most beautiful wedding breakfast that got so many compliments. You all made me feel like I was in some sort of fairytale! If you’re not already the proudest people on earth, you absolutely should be because I cannot fault you at all! I feel absolutely blessed with the best 💖

A huge thank you to The Barnyard and their incredible staff for the most perfect wedding day ♥️ Thank you for walking me through each step, fluffing my dress, helping me decorate the venue, creating beautiful scenes for our photos, being so incredibly attentive to our needs (even saving a plate each for me and my husband from the bbq!), keeping us informed where needed, making us a beautiful welcome sign on entry, managing our music playlist for our entrance and exits! I could really go on and on. Nothing was a bother, you reassured me, answered all of my questions and helped our day run so smoothly and perfectly. I have always wanted a Barnyard wedding, and I finally got it. Thank you all ♥️ Love from The Piggott’s x

I recently had a twilight wedding in the Apple Barn at The barnyard, it was such a beautiful venue that perfectly fit our “rustic, whimsical, cozy” vibes for our special day, we used autumnal decor and everything tied in so perfectly, the staff were welcoming and helped us make our special day come to life! Our guests still haven’t stopped talking about how beautiful the venue was and we honestly couldn’t have picked a better place! The food was also to die for! Thank you for everything, we couldn’t recommend you guys enough! - Mr & Mrs Weedon

Wedding band here, we have played in the marquee and this Sunday just passed we were back in the Apple Barn, both are amazing in their own ways, Apple Barn is especially great for twilight weddings! Really lovely staff who can't do enough to help you, amazing food and both have excellent spaces to entertain guests with space for a live band and of course dancing!

Just attended an 80th birthday lunch in the restaurant. There were two or three parties there at the same time. The food was excellent. Serving staff were friendly and very efficient. The food was delicious and perfectly served; despite the pressure of so many meals needing to be served at the same time. Highly recommended. Wish there was such a nice venue closer to where I live.

What a great Sunday roast they have!! They also have vegetarian Sunday roast and it was great. Staff came out to let us know that gravy sauce was vegetarian and we appreciated it!! It was a bit too much food for me (I have a small appetite) but enough for my husband & mother-in-law! Dessert was also yummy.

A really great place to drink and eat. Really clean and friendly. Beers and ales are chilled and taste great. The food is good but not all the items are good value for money based on price vs portion size. It has an outdoor garden with shelters and a modest area for children to play in.

We had our sons party held in the garden Saturday just gone, it all ran smoothly and staff were very helpful. Came back on the Sunday for a roast and that was delicious!

Popped in for a drink. The pub has a lovely garden,partly covered but mostly laid to lawn with very pretty flower borders. There is plenty of seating. Inside the pub is quite dark. It has a jukebox and it plays in the garden too. They are closed on Mondays. There is a quiz night on Tuesdays and they offer a roast in Sundays There is a good size free car park

Food was amazing - hot and cooked perfectly. And the chef was so nice! He checked that everything was good with the food as well which in my opinion really shows they care about their job. The lovely lady at the bar was chatty and really helpful - all adding up to a brilliant experience. Atmosphere was lovely- quiet music playing so we could still have conversation. Gorgeous beer garden. Menu had quite a lot of choice for everyone and everything that we had was cooked to perfection. Lots of parking and it's flat from the carpark to the pub making it really accessible. Will definitely be returning to sample the rest of the menu. Really recommend the jalapeno poppers - we're going back for them alone :)

Me & my partner came here recently & we both really enjoyed the friendly chatty service, the place had also been decorated since I had last been in there when it was called the Concorde.. its now modern, clean & lovely. We stayed here for dinner & both of us thoroughly enjoyed the food & there was plenty to feed us both.. we will definitely be returning again, we are looking forward to it! Definitely would recommend this place for drinks & food. So Thank you.

Met up with my friend, hadn't been to this Costa before, only had a drink and sat outside as it was nice and sunny

Staff were on the ball and friendly. Our drinks were nice and hot,tasty and we're made within a couple of minutes. We had a bacon roll which went down well. Unusually for a Costa the tables were mostly clear and had been cleaned. I did use the toilet, it was average and could have done with a bit of cleaning. I find Costa expensive but this was a bit of a treat, I'm not a regular user. There are some savings to be had by downloading the Costs App. They do have some outside seating but today was not the day to sit outside. The branch is situated in the High St. There is paid parking within a 3 to 4 minutes walk

Usually busy lacks a little "warmth" not one of the best and if you sit outside there is the busy mainroad 20ft away. Couple of doors up is a nice cafe with more options to eat and drink and better atmosphere.

I did not notice until after visiting that this restaurant only has a 2* Hygiene Rating which is very poor. I visited with friends on a busy noisy Friday night. The food was very tasty and served piping hot and the service was friendly. The toilets were dirty and in desperate need of renovation. We enjoyed our night but until they refurbish the toilets and improve their hygiene rating I would not return.

Went here for the first time last night. Really enjoyed it! The food was delicious, couldn't fault any of it. I normally have a chicken pasanda but didn't see it on the menu but they still made it for me. We weren't able to eat everything and were able to take it away in some containers. The staff were very friendly and I will definitely be returning or trying their takeaway.
